The New Ordway Field Corn. 
Phis is a decided improvement, in the line of field corn and possesses great superiority over 
even the popalar “Longfellow” Corn. This new corn originated in West Newbury, Mass., 
with a farmer of long experience, and is claimed by him to be positively the best field corn in 
existence. He grows this variety extensively, this year’s crop yielding him 66 1-4 bushels to 
the acre, on an average of 10 acres. Two bushels of ears shell out 1 bushel and 4 quarts 
shelled corn. The corn is bright golden yellow, large kernel, small cob, and grows uniform, 
of perfect shape and isvery early. A very commendable novelty. Price, per qt. 25 cts., per 
1-2 peck 30 cts., per peck 75 cts., per bush. $2.25.

Nichols Medium Green Cucumber. 
A valuable new variety recently introduced and in 
our opinion destined to become a leading sort. It has 
done exceedingly well with us this season, and where 
exhibited at our Agricultural Fairs it attracted much 
attention. It is medium size, always straight and well 
formed, and abundanly productive; color is dark 
green, flesh is crisp, tender and of finest flavor. It is 
especially adapted for pickling and slicing purposes, 
and grows very quickly. In fact it is a most worthy 
sort, and merits all the praise bestowed upon it by the 
introducers, Messrs. Livingston’s Sons; we obtained 
our seed direct from their house, and have grown a 
sufficient quantity the past season to place it, fat the fol- 
lowing price: per pkt. 5 cts,, per oz. ij cts. per 1-4 lb. 
35 cts., per lb. $1.25. 
Peerless White Spine Cucumber. 
This variety is certainly one of the finest strains of the 
“White Spine” in cultivation, and is more largely grown in 
this section than any other sort. The fruits are of large size, 
straight and well formed, being full at both ends ; skin is deep 
green, when in slicing condition, and continues so until ma- 
turity, when it turns to a creamy white. It is immensely pro- 
ductive, and comes very early. Its flavor and quality is among 
the best, and it is adapted for slicing, for which purpose it is 
generally used better than any other variety known. The 
heaviest crop of cucumbers I have ever grown were of this variety, raised 
on my farm in Hingham, Mass., this season. To convey a better idea of 
its immense productiveness, I would state that a space four feet square 
contained fifty-two perfect, full-grown specimens. The following extract 
taken from a letter from one of my patrons, will serve to show how mar- 
ketmen regard it for their use.
