POTATOES 
It 13 of the Utmost importance that new blood be frequently introduced in order to raise large and payinK crops 
of Potatoes. When a really good new sort is offered it at once becomes popular, for the reason that it produces 
greater crops than _ the old varieties. In the course of years, it in its turnl-is supplanted, and so on the changes

NOBOTON BEAUTY 
Claimed to be the most productive of all the very early 
varieties. Handsome, round, and uniform sized tubers — 
white with pink eyes. Has given the very greatest satisfac- 
tion in every way to the most critical growers. Its table 
quality is superb a grand keeper, lb. 20c.; 5 lbs. 85c.; post- 
paid (peck 75c.; bushel 82.30 here). 
ELDORADO 
For many years there has been an effort to produce a blight 
and disease proof potato, the result is the Eldorado. The 
stock we offer was grown from seed imjjorted direct from the 
originator and introduced for the first time in Canada by the 
growers of our supply. This potato has cropped 1,200 bushels 
per acre, and 800 bushels is a common occurrence. 
Eldorado is white skinned, slightly russetted, oval shaped, 
of very vigorous growth, highest table quality, blight and 
disease proof. All these qualities make it so desirable that 
no grower should fail to plant some. lb. 20c.; 5 lbs. 90c.; 
postpaid (peck $1.60 here). 
FINDLAT'S STAR 
Mr. Findlay, the introducer, says: — " A very heavy cropper 
and the most disease resisting and weather defying potato I 
have known." The Star is a prodigious cropper, and^though 
hardly so desirable as Eldorado, yet it is a variety the grower 
cannot afford being without, and in some circumstances of 
soil and season has proved the equal of the Eldorado. Find- 
lay's Star has produced many times under ordinary field 
culture over 600 bushels per measured acre, and in some cases 
produced as high as 1,000 bushels per acre. lb. 15c.; 5 lbs 
70c.; post-paid (peck SI .00 here).

PARSNIP 
FR. PANAIS 
One ounce will sow about 
125 feet of drill; 5 lbs. 
? will sow one acre. 
CULTURE — Sow early in 
spring in deeply dug or 
trenched ground, that has 
been enriched the previous 
fall, in drills 18 inches apart, 
thinning out to 6 or 8 inches. 
In heavy clay soil that is wet 
and sticky in early spring, 
and that later is likely to get 
very hard, we have found it a 
good plan to sow seed in the 
I fall, so late that there is no 
I chance of the seed germinat- 
ing. In this way it starts 
very early. For exhibition 
purposes it is e good plan to 
make a line of holes, 1 to 
lyi feet deep, with a pointed 
picket, filling these with a 
rich sandy compost; then 
sow a few seeds on top of 
each, and you will have ex- 
traordinarilylla rge smooth 
roots.
