The Mammoth Dent Corn. 
Tu corn that yields largely, there are three points to be 
observed, viz.: large ears; "depth of grain; and well filled 
at both ends. The Mammoth Dent is far superior to all 
other corn in these respects. It has from twenty to forty 
rows to each ear, and will weigh sixty pounds to the bushel. 
It is the largest early field-corn produced in America, and 
will ripen In from ninety 1o one hundred days. 
In circumference of ear and depth of grain, it far sur- 
passes any corn we ever saw. — N. ^ . Bee journal.

varieties of Sweet or Sugar-Corn. Per package, 15 cts. My

268 Bushels (ears) per Acre ! ! 
J. T. Hillyek, YVaupun, 'Wis., writes: 
" I never raised so fine a piece of corn. 
Planted 101 rods of ground. I hired a 
§§iA man for $6 to husk and put the same in 
crib, keeping an exact account of the No. 
of Bushels. He figures up 181 Busttcls 
(ears), not one ear but that was sound, 
The iinest grade of Corn I ever saw, and 
so considered by all who have seen it. 
The man who husked and the man who 
cut it up, both say they never saw so 
much Corn grown on so small a piece of 
ground. Planted the 23d of May— not 
one soft ear in the field." 
We are credibly informed that certain 
parties who purchased small quantities 
of this Seed last spring, and are now of- 
fering at low prices, have largely over- 
sold their stock. Beware of cheap and 
impure Seed. Get the genuine. 
One Quart, by mail, post-paid, 75 cents. 
Two Quarts, $1.25. By Express, per Peck, 
$2 ; Half Bushel, $3 ; $5 per Bushel. 
Each package of Corn will contain one 
of the famous Peerless potatoes and 
sample White Probestier oats— sufficient 
for trial.

TO 
ASPARAGUS. 
This superior variety, highly prized in the Boston Markets. 
has uniformly taken tlie first premium at the Exhibitions of 
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society at Boston. On the 
second day of June, last year, Mr. Moore exhibited a bunch 
of twelve stalks, which weighed 3 lbs. r> oz. At the same 
time there was on exhibition, from New York, a bunch of 
Conover's Colossal, containing eighteen stalks, weighing 3 
lbs. 8 o^ M only three ounces more than the twelve stalks of 
Moore's Premium, to which the first prize was unanimously 
awarded.

Mammoth Russian Sunflower. 
The beads of this enormous variety grow to the size of 
20 inches in diameter under ordinary cultivation; produces 
an immense amount of valuable green fodder, and about 
50 bushels seed per acre. Seed white, the size of Dent corn 
grains— valuable or feeding poultry and horses, or for oil. 
A seed-head of mine, shown at the Mass. Hort. Society, at- 
tracted great attention, on account of its large size. A field 
of this variety makes the be6t bee pasture known. A few 
stalks plantedin door-yards will prevent fever, by absorbing 
malaria. Extensively cultivated in Russia. Have selected 
a quantity of the largest heads for seed. Plant in May ; a 
large package of extra seed, sufficient to plant 15 square 
rods, sent post-paid, with directions, for S3 cents: small 
package, 15 cents. E. BATCHELLER,

CHOICE MELONS. 
Editors of *• Hearth and Home'* say : "Both this year and 
last Ward's Nectar was in point of sweetness and flavor, the 
best of several varieties tested." Cassaba grows to weigh 
12 or 15 lbs., is very thick-fleshed, sweet, and delicious. Ar- 
lington grows to a still larger size, and is of superior quali- 
ty. Each of these are green-fleshed. Sill's Hybrid has 
Salmon-colored flesh, and is characterized by a delicious, 
spicy sweetness. Each variety, per package, 15 cts ; Ward's 
Nectar, 50 cts. per oz. Seed Catilo-rnes sent free to all.
