Lane's Improved 
IMPERIAL 
SUGAR BEET. 
This snperb variety is the 
result of a careful selection 
for several years past of the 
French Imperial Siig;ir Beet, 
by Mr. Henry Lane, an expe- 
rienced farmer of Cornwall, 
Vt. After a satisfactory trial, 
■we can recommend i\ with 
the greatest confidence, as 
beinK hardier, more produc- 
tive, and containing 1 a greater 
percentage of sugar than the 
ordinary variety, and nmcli 
better adapted for cultiva- 
tion in this country, either for 
stock or the manufacture of 
sugar. We heir the most 
favorable reports from those 
who have tested it in various 
sections of'the country, all of 
■whom are satisfied of its 
superiority. It is the bust 
beet raised for feeding cows 
or young stock. Prom thirty 
to forty tons raised to the, 
acre, at a cost of from five to 
eight cents per bushel. The 
cheapness with which, they 
can be raised, the large 
amount of healthy, nutritious 
food raised to ilie acre, and 
its great value as food for 
cattle, sheen, and swine, 
make this the most profit- 
able root to raise. 
Four pounds is the- amount usually required for one acre. 
Wt- have purchased the entire stock of Mr. Lane. 
Price, 15 cents per ounce ; 50 cents lour ounces ; §1.50 V lb.

Bliss's Improved Long Orange Carrot. 
This superior variety Is the result of a careful selection, 
for successive years, of the best-formed, lamest, 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-maker-; will find tins 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.; lour ounces, 50c; one lb., $1.50, by mail, post-paid.

A New Squash. 
I have a new Squash for the Public (see reading matter on 
page Gl, February No. of American Agriculturist). Here la 
what is said of it: 
lion. Marshall P. Wilder writes: "I have tested the Mar- 
blehead Squnsh. For solidity and richness, 1 have seen no 
squasli that surpasses it." 
Dr. George B. Poring writes: " Ih.ivc tried the squash. It 
is delirious. 1 have .seen nothing eqaul to it since the palmy 
days of the Marrow." 
Paschal Morris, Esq., writes; "I have had the Bquasb 
thoroughly tested by two of the best housekeepers in these 
parts, one in Philadelphia and the other in New Jersey. 
One reports thai >' is the nicest squash she ever cuoketl; 
the other, that it made the nicest pie and pudding she ever 
tasted. Personally, I would say that 1 moult regret if it 
wax any better, ns there might bo danger of eating too 
much." 
It is a very Is#e keeper and good cropper. I have named 
it the Marhlehead Squash. In size it averages with the 
Hubbard. Packages, with seed sufficient for six hills, with 
full directions for cultivation, 25 cts. each; five for $1.00. 
Dealers supplied at the usual discount. My Seed Catalogue, 
with a very full description of this and other new vegeta- 
bles. /»ec to all.
