Bliss's America n Racer Pea. A quarter-pint packet. 

 We have grown this new 1'ca for several years on our 

 experimental grounds, and consider it one of the ear- 

 liest, most productive, and best I'eas known. Our 

 stock of seed is as yet too limited to enable us to offer 

 it for sale, yet we are so si rough convinced of its 

 superior value that we oiler it as a premium— the only 

 way in which it can be obtained— to our subscribers, 

 trusting that it w ill prove as valuable an addil ion io

 Pea ottered by us last season. 



Any subscriber who sends, with his own. an addi- 

 tional subscription- -not necessarily from the same 

 post-office— may select for himself two premium pack- 

 ages, and the entire set of four kinds w hen two addi-

The, immense demand w hich has sprung' np 

 public should not bo deceived by spurious piant 

 name, have induced me to devote, ray propagatii 

 therefore be able to warrant every plant sent out by me to be true to name. 



It is safe to assert that no Strawberry introduced within several years has received as many favorable 

 comments from prominent fruit-growers and dealers, and that no other kind combines as many desirable 

 qualities. For family use as well as for market it stands at the head of the list, and lest my description of it 

 might be considered as actuated by self-interest, l give here the points of excellence as slated and signed by 

 the best-informed and leading fruit-growers who examined my fields during the. bearing season : 



AS COMPARED WITH WILSON'S ALBANY. 



/, It averages one and a half times the size. 

 2. It is of much better flavor. 



3. It is far more attractive with its bright scarlet color, and finer in appearance 

 4. The plant is double the size and far more vigorous. 

 5. It carries the fruit higher from the ground. 

 6. The yield, as it appears, is one-half more. 

 7. In firmness it fully equals the Wilson. 



Those desiring additional information about the Manchester are referred to my circular, which will be 

 mailed free to all applicants. 



Potted Plants will be ready for delivery about the middle of July and throughout summer, at $1.25 per 

 dozen ; $6.00 per hundred : 840.00 per thousand, safely packed to go by express or freight. 



Layer Plants will be ready by September 1st, at 81-00 per dozen; 85.00 per hundred; $30.00 per 

 thousand. At dozen rates, plants will be sent by mail without additional charge ; at hundred rates, 30 cents
