Mammoth Kueeifln Sunflower. Extra Early Milan Turnip. 
Brazilian Sugar Squash.— I am much pleased to notice that tins variety, which 
in 1882 was for the first time introduced by myself, has since become quite popu- 
lar. It is hardy and thrifty growing, bearing Squashes in great numbers, ol from 
8 to 10 inches long, by 6 inches through. Their quality is ver .Y superior, delicate 
and sweet, equal to a 
sweet potatoe; is a good 
keeper. Besides this is 
the only kind that, if 
used before ripe, is pal- 
atable. being for that 
purpose superior to all 
others and supplies a 
long felt want for some- 
thing good for summer 
and fall use also.

Tomato — Among the

and handsome, solid 
and to a large size, is 
of rich flavor, beauti- 
ful pink color, very 
productive and highly 
profitable for the mar- 
ket.
