The Japanese Queen of Lilies. 
We have a fi tie stock of this gorgeous Lily iu splendid con- 
dition, many of which are of a larger size than any hitherto 
offered. A correspondent of the London Times lias the fol- 
lowing remarks regarding this, the most magnificent of 
modern floral Introductions: " Ldium Auratum.— This 
golden-rayed Queen of Lilies is the most beautiful of the 
Lily family. It is perfectly hardy ; and for the adornment of 
the Flower-garden, the Conservatory, and the Sitting-room, 
it is unrivalled. The whole English floral world, on its in- 
troduction, was jubilant with delight, hailing its advent as 
an astronomer would the discovery of a star of the llrst 
magnitude-, and in every city, both in Europe and America, 
it has received ovations such as would have been dear to 
the heart of the most ambitious prima-donna or the most 
successful conquering hero." 
Specimens were exhibited the past summer in England. G 
to 8 feet in height, with from 50 to 75 flowers. It is perfectly 
hardy— having stood out the past winter in Massachusetts, 
with a slight covering of straw. A beautiful two-paged lith-

MORE TFSTIMONIALS. 
Light Street, Pa., Sept. 2d, 18C3. 
I write to say that I am greatly pleased with the Norway 
Oats 1 received from you last spring. They yielded at the 
rate of sixty bushels to the acre, stood up well, straw good 
and heavy. Our common oats on same ground gave us only 
20 to 30 bushels. My neighbors laughed at mc for paying- 
such a price lor seed, but now the laugh is on the other side 
of the face. The season has been the poorest for oats I ever 
knew of. Send mc a few of your printed histories of this 
grain, and I will distribute them willingly. 
Truly Yours, IT. H. Brown. 
W. H. Tyler, Guilford, Vermont, says: 
The Norway Oats are a great improvement. They grew 
very heavy, with numerous stalks, and yield fully three 
times as many as any oat wc have ever raised in this section. 
I shall preserve all my seed for next season, and I am satis- 
fied they will take the place of all others. 
From J. B. Cloud, Union Village. Vt. 
They nre far superior to any I ever saw in every respect. 
No farmer can afford to raise any other kind if he can get 
this seed. 
Oscar E Sargent, CheMerjleld, X. H., says: 
Those Norway Oats recommend themselves to all who sea 
them growing. They are certainly a superior grain. 
From J. C. Orne, Willoughby Lake, Vt. 
The Norway Oats I had of you have proved to be as good 
as you represented them to be in every respect. They are 
far more profitable to raise, and all farmers will do well to 
procure them at the first opportunity. 
From Wm. Bancroft, South Barre, Vt. 
Those Oats have done remarkably well. From the 100 
seeds 1 had. it is estimated by my neighbors that I will have 
a yield of from six to eight quarts. They arc regarded as a 
miracle by all who have seen them. 
The Norway Oats have received the highest prize at many 
of the State and County Pairs throughout New England, 
and from the thousands of farmers who have grown them 
the past season, wchave already received over one thousand 
letters of recommendation. Probably no improvement In 
the Interest of agriculture has ever received such universal 
and hearty endorsement, as has been accorded to this grain. 
A full history will be mailed to all who desire it.
