Marblehead Mammoth Cabbages ! 
As some cultivators have an impression that these cab- 
bages cannot be fully matured outside of Marblehead, I in- 
vite their attention to the following list of weights to which 
they have been grown by some of my customers. 
H. A. Terry, Crescent City, Iowa, lias grown them weigh- 
ing 40 lbs., measuring 56 inches around the solid bead. Tiios. 
A. Lambert, Becaricom, C. W., exhibited three cabbages 
weighing respectively, JO. 42>< and 44 lbs. John "W. Dean, 
St. Michaels, Sid., has grown them weighing 33 lbs. S. M. 
Shuck, Preston, Minn., has raised thcra weighing 33 lbs. 
when trimmed. K. II. Ellis, Etna Green, Ind., lias grown 
them weighing over 30 ihs. A. E. Garrison, Des Moines, 
Iowa, has raised them weighing SO lbs. James S. Allen, Union 
Springs, N. Y., has grown theni weighing 30 lbs., when strip- 
Eed of loose leaves. Wm. Lee, Jr., Denver City, Colorado, 
aa grown them weighing 45 and CO ft>s., as a penalty for 
which the miners of the Mountains call him the "Big Cab- 
bage Man." Collins Eaton, Ogdensburgh, N. Y., has raised 
them weighing 50 lbs. Leonard Choat, Denver City, Col., 
raised one, which when trimmed of waste leaves, weighed 
4$ lbs. P. Sweeney, Loretto, Pcnu., has grown them weigh-

them weighing ">3 lbs. M. D. Clark, Elyria, Ohio, has grown 
them weighing 85 lbs. Chas. "W. Oden, Little Sioux, Iowa, 
produced quite a lot which weighed from 50 to 60 lbs. Hun- 
dreds of others have written me that they have "taken all 
the prizes at the Countv Fairs." "liaised the largest Cab- 
bage ever seen in the country," "Had astonished all their 
neighbors," "That in sweetness, crispness, and tenderness, 
they were unequaled." As the original introducer of the 
Mammoth Cabbage, I am prepared to supply pure seed in

Fanners and Gardeners ! 
Many of you have thus far found the purchnse of Garden 
Seed the most unsatisfactory and most vexing of all your in- 
vestments. Now,(/" yoti ■■will stand by me, I propose to change 
all ttiis, and make a revolution in the seed business by my 
three warrants. 1st. I will warrant my seed to be what it 
purports to be In kind and quality: 2d. I will warrant that 
the money yon send for seed shall reach mc ; and 3d. I will 
warrant that the seed you order shall reach vou. 
Thus, you see, I take all the risks on myself. I know that 
In doing this I shall make some losses, but I have confidence 
that the good sense of the farmers and gardeners of the 
United States will stand by me in this new movement, and 
so lar increase my business as to enable mc to bear all such 
losses and continue the business on the "three warrants" 
basis. Stand by me and I will stand by von ! Catalogues
