Marblehead Mammoth Cabbage ! Guano, Bone, Poudrette, Plaster. 
This Is the largest cabbage in the world, sometimes weigh- 
ing over sixty pounds each, and averaging as high as thirty 
pounds hy the acre! It is not only large, DiU cannot be sur- 
passed for reliability for heading, tenderness, and Bweetness. 
As some cultivators have an impression that this cabbage 
cannot be fully matured outside of Marblehead, 1 invite 
their attention to the following extracts from among the 
many commendatory letters which I have received: 
"Your Marblehead Mammoth cabbage cannot be excelled. 
There were heads weighing SO H>s., and heads of Fottler's 
Improved Brunswick "(trom your seed) weighing 40 Its. — 
John H. Howlett. Charles to wd, 111." 
"I raised from your seed Marblehead Mammoth Cabbages 
that weighed 50 lbs.— A. II. Mace, Clintonville, N.Y., Nov. 
14th, 1869." 
"Your Marblehead Mammoth Cabbages were very fine, 
they all headed well, and weighed 27 to 40, and 47 lbs.— W. 
Llewellyn, Red Wing, Minn., March 12, 1869." 
"Your Marblehead Mammoth Cabbages are wonderful; 
they grew to the size of au . umbrella.— Thomas Flanigan, 
Palermo, Kansas." 
" The Marblehead Mammoth Cabbages were a perfect suc- 
cess. They headed well, and were three times as large as 
any cabbage I ever raised before— J. F. Butt, Kosciusco, 
Miss." 
"I have raised your Marblehead Mammoth Cabbage for 
two years, and it has proved the tenderest nnd sweetest cab- 
bage I ever saw.— S. S. Groves, Stones Prairie, 111."

weighing 30 lbs. John Humphreys, Titusville, N. Y., 33>£ 
lbs. M. D. Clark, Elyria, Ohio, 37 lbs. II. A. Tern', Crescent

ty for which the miners of the mountains call him the " Big 
Cabbage Man." Leonard Choat, Denver, Colorado, raised 
one which weighed 46 lbs when trimmed of waste leaves.

TAKE NOTICE ! The mixing of No. 1 Peruvian 
Guano with worthless Guano, or earth of the same ap- 
pearance, and selling the same for pure is being done ex- 
tensively by Unscrupulous Dealers. Those who 
manipulate are so expert in the business, that it is 
almost impossible to detect the fraud. Bags are 
properly branded and made to correspond witti the 
original. Country merchants can make n larger 
profit by selling the mixed article. We guarantee 
that we sell to be Pure No. 1 Peruvian Guano. 
Farmers and dealers supplied at the lowest market 
price. 
BONE! Every farmer, gardener and fruit-grower who 
has bad experience, knows full well the value of Ground 
Bone as a manure; it is the cheapest and best fer- 
tilizer for the farmer. All soil must have phos- 
phate of lime to make it fertile ; vegetation feeds upou 
it, Pure Ground Bone will supply it. Tue Bone we 
sell is collected from our New York markets daily and 
ground, and is, we believe, the "best in the market. 
Farmers and dealers supplied at lowest market 
price. 
POUDRETTE! Common and Double Refined 
Poudrette. The best in the market. 
LAND PLASTER ! This article, on some soils, acts like a 
charm.

What they say about the 
Blanchard Churn. 
O. S. Blisn, Esq., Secretary of the Vermont Dairymen's 
Association, in his valuable Essay on " The Management of 
a Good Butter Dairy," read before the late Animal Meeting 
of the American Dairymen's Association at t'lica. Bays: 
" We use the Btanchara Churn, and recommend it aB xu- 
perior to any other tor churning, gathering, working, and 
salting butter, not excepting the venerable and superannu- 
ated up-and-down dash." 
M. C. Weld. Esq., late Assoelate Editor of the " American 
Agriculturist," savs: "We have been using oneof the Blanch- 
ard Chums a whole season. It does iis regular duty, not 
only well, but to our buprrme satisfaction". Of late the 
whole work has been done, bv a girl of fourteen."'
