[Mat, 
Lanes Improved 
IMPERIAL, 
SUGAR BEET. 
This superb variety is the 
result of b carelul selection 
for several years past of tho 
French Imperial Sugar Beet. 
After a satisfactory trial, 
we can recommend* it with 
the greatest confidence, as 
being hardier, more produc- 
tive, and containing a greater 
percentage of sugar than the 
ordinary variety, and much 
bettei adapted for cultiva- 
tion in this country, either for 
stock or the manufacture of 
sugar. We hear the most 
favorable reports from those 
who have tested it in various 
sections of the country, all of 
whom are satisfied of its 
supeiioritv. It is the best 
beet raised for feeding cows 
or young stock. From thirty 
to forty ions raised to the 
acre, at a cost of from live to 
eight cents per bushel. The 
cheapness with which they 
can be raised, the large 
amount of healthy, nutritious 
food raised to the acre, and 
Its great value as food for 
cattle, sheep, and swine, 
make this the most profit- 
able root to raise. 
Four pounds is the amount 
usually required for one acre. 
Price, 15 cents per ounce ; r>0 cents iour ounces ; $1.60 $ lb.

Bliss's Improved Long Orange Carrot. 
This superior variety is the result of a careful selection, 
for successive years, of the best-formed, largest, and deep- 
est-colored roots of the Imported Long Orange Carrot, by 
which It has attained a perfection hitherto unknown in this 
useful vegetable, being larger, better flavored, and of a 
deeper orange color, and more sure to produce a crop. But- 
ter-makers will tlnu this variety very useful in giving to 
their butter a rich, deep yellow color. We unhesitatingly 
pronounce it the best variety In the market, and one which 
will not fail to give satisfaction to the purchaser. One oz., 
15c.; four ounces, 50e.; one lb., $1.50, by mail, post-paid.
