All the vines we offer are grown without bottom heat, from well ripened wood, aud in good, 
deep soil, not injured by extra manuring. 
In classifying we make no extras. Our No. 1 plants are the largest and best of our stock, 
and their average quality is not allowed to bo diminished by selecting the largest for 
retailing as extras;

It accords neither with our taste nor our principles to assert that our 
vines have never been approached in quality by those of any other propa- 
gators. The vines must speak for themselves, and those who wish to pur- 
chase largely are sufficiently wise to accept the evidence of the vines rather 
than the assertion of thegrower. To account for the abundant roots of our 
plants it is only necessary to say that ours is the open border culture. 
"We have discarded the pot-culture because the roots are thereby mevita- 
l)ly cramped, and in value as far as possible from the model roots of our 
iigure, while the costs of pots and the labor necessary to insure this forced 
cramping compels the grower to sell at prices so high as to forbid purchase 
for extensive planting. 
We have reduced ourprices very low, because we deem it more profitable 
to sell a thousand DELiVWARES at 10 cents each, or a thousand 
IONAS at 30 cents each, than one-third of that quantity at double those 
rates. 
Those who wish to plant many acres cannot afford to buy at the high 
rates at which some valuable varieties have been hitherto sold, and our 
large culture demands for its outlet extensive planting. Onr plan is thus 
by low prices to insure large sales. 
Our present stock of DELAWARE and XG1VA remaining from the 
culture, of last year, is about 160,000 plants. 
For the excellence of these varieties it is not necessary for us to vouch. 
Their surpassing qualities are known to all, and the general opinion of 
the DEIiAWAlXE was well expressed at the late Convention of Fruit 
Growers, at Rochester, where the Delaware ranked first and the lona next 
by large majorities. 
Of IVES' SEEDLING, we have remaining only 20,000. The freedom 
ot this variety from rot or mildew, and its very rapid, hardy growth, make 
It one of the most reliable varieties— one of the few which are absolutely 
eafa. PARSOXS & CO, 
SWEET CORK FOE SEED. 
Russell's Improved Sweet Corn is now for Sale 
At the Wooden Willow Ware and 
House Furnishing Store, 
NO. 243 STATE-ST., NEW HAVEN, CONN". 
This Corn has large ears, line and delicious ilavor, and is 
three weeks eaiiier~than any other Sweet Corn in the State, 
of equal size and quality, it needs no recommendation to 
those who have eaten it. Those who have not, are relerrcd 
to Hon. James E. Euglish and Hon. John Woodruff of this 
State It has brought fifty cents per dozen ears in New 
Haven the last three vears. The greatest trouble has been, I 
could not raise enough to supply the demand. This year I 
have thought it best to let the public have the seed, aud all 
those that want can have it, by ordering or calling soon. 
It will require about forty cars to plant one acre. Those 
that raise early corn for New York and other cities, will get 
more than double for their crop, if they plant this corn, as 
all the markets cannot be supplied this year. I sold in 
eighteen hundred and sixty-four, two hundred and thirteen 
dollars worth raised on three quarters of an acre of ground, 
besides what we ate and gave away. I will send it to any 
place in the United States for three dollars per dozen, or :it 
the same rate for any number of ears, any way I may be di- 
rected, or will send a package or any number of packa-zes, 
each containing enough to plant about sixty hills, lor twenty- 
five cents per package, by m:iil postage paid. 
All orders addressed to CALVIN RUSSELL, New Haven, 
Conn., with money enclosed, will be attended to promptly.

The quality of the KITTATINNY is thus expressed by the 
Editor of the N. Y. World on receipt of some fruit. "We 
confess to being skeptical when told a better blackberry 
than the Lawton had been found. * * But justice compels 
us to acknowledge that never before have we tasted such 
Blackberries as those sent us by Mr. Williams. In the first 
place, the berries are large, deep colored, and firm in flesh, 
even when fully ripe— good marketing qualities. Second, 
they are sweet, juicy, melting in the mouth, more like a new 
Pine Strawberry than like a Blackberry, andare of excellent 
flavor." The quality of my plants is so much superior to 
those usually sent out, even at lusher prices, as to elicit uni- 
versal commendation. For the above article in full and oth- 
er testimonials see my New Catalogue, now ready, for 2 
stamps. Order early as the stock is very limited.

All my large stock of No. 1 and No. 2, lona and Israella 
Vines is sold, except a small quantity I have reserved to use 
in filling retail orders. 
As has been the case every season, the demand for really 
good vines, has been beyond my ability to supply. That my 
vines sell so readily at full rates, argues well that the quality 
ot vines offered will hereafter have much to do with their 
sale. Buy good vines at a good price, rather than vines ad- 
vertised at reduced rates. Vou mav be sure that with the 
present great demand for vines, all of good quality will be 
sought after at good prices.— Send for Trice List.
