SEED OF TOBACCO (Nicotiana). 
Great interest now being taken in the growth of Tobacco, the following varieties arc offered as 
the best in the market, having been carefully selected from the largest faims in the Southern States. 
They are supplied in packets bearing cultural directions. 
Big Frederick, an old and favourite variety, with large broad finely shaped leaves. 
Connecticut Seedleaf, one of the earliest, a very choice and select variety. 
Hester, a new and excellent yellow variety, makes fine cigar stock, having size, shape, textui'e, and 
colour, besides ripening early. 
Kentucky, the brightest of the yellow tyi>e, and earliest to ripen. 
Maryland, fine for wrappers ; long leaf and extra fine ; a first-class variety. 
Pennsylvania, later than “ Connecticut,” but larger and heavier. 
Sweet Oronoko, makes, when sun-cured, the best natural chewing leaf. 
Yellow Pryor, a general favourite with planters ; commanding the highest price for shippers.

CHOICE COLLECTIONS OF FLOWER SEEDS. 
As in Flower Seeds new species or varieties and improved strains are being 
constantly imported, proved, or raised, and offered by Mr. William Bull, it 
naturally follows that giving mere names and descriptions convey in many 
instances but an inadequate idea of the desirability of some of the handsomest and 
best introductions. Collections of Flower Seeds are therefore made comprising 
the choicest strains of popular favourite flowers, and including selections of the 
best novelties. 
Quality rather than quantity being especially considered — Mr. W. B.’s selections 
may safely be relied on in these Collections.
