SPKCIAL LIST or YEGETABLK SEEDS. 
TOMATO, PBESIDENT GARFIELD. 
A new variety, originating in Servia, and described as of very luxuriant growth and extraor- 
dinary fertility. The plants attain a large size and require plenty of room. The fruits are 
of enormous size (weighing from two to three pounds in full-grown specimens), ripen quite 
evenly, have but few seeds, are very solid, with beautiful tender flesh, the flavor of which is 
delicious. 
Per Packet, 25 cents. 
TURNIP. VERY EARLY PURPLE-TOP MUNICH. 
A new flat-shaped variety, with white flesh, skin white under ground and purple red 
above. Its special value consists in its earliness, which is remarkable, being two to three 
weeks earlier than any other variety, a quality which admits of much later fall sowing with 
certainty of crop than the common fall sorts, as well as useful for very early crops. 
Per Packet, 10 cents. | Per Ounce, 30 cents. 
BLUNT^S PROLIFIC CORN. 
FOR ENSILAGE. 
After another year’s trial of this corn for ensilage purposes, we can confldently state that it 
has given very great satisfaction wherever used, yielding immense crops of forage of the best 
quality. Bearing in its general appearance so close a resemblance to the Southern White 
Flat or Dent Corn, purchasers are liable to be mislead and purchase the latter, as it sells for 
a much less price ; consequently those who have had the misfortune to fall into this error are 
unable to appreciate its superiority over the common varieties ; once, however, the true is 
had, the difference is seen at once. If not planted too thickly, it attains in good soil a 
height of twelve to fifteen feet. The quantity of seed required per acre, to secure the best 
results, remains undetermined as yet, the quantities so far used ranging from half a bushel to 
one and a half, and in some cases two bushels, to the acre. Nearly all growers approve 
of rows three feet apart; but in the row some prefer sowing thickly, while others prefer the 
plants to stand six inches apart, thereby gaining more healthy leafage and stronger plants, 
that will stand against wind.

RUSSIAN WHITE OATS. 
The Russian White Oats are prolific without parallel, yielding with ordinary cultivation 
jone hundred bushels per acre. They are now being tested in nearly every State of the Union, 
and the reports thus far are unanimous in commending them as the heaviest yielding variety 
at present known. They are extremely hardy, enduring the coldest climate in our country 
without injur>', and are absolutely rust proof. They tiller wonderfully ; from twenty-five to 
forty stalks are produced from a single seed, the heads of grain measuring from sixteen to 
twenty-two inches in length. The straw is large, and strong enough to support these 
enormous heads. The grain is heavy and the chaff light, so that a bushel weighs 
considerably more than a bushel of ordinary oats. The variety, without doubt, is destined 
when more widely known, to become the standard sort. 
Per Bushel, $2.00.
