Of Strawberries 1 have a surplus stock of the Slmrpless 
variety, which is 
grand in every re- 
spect. one that has 
proved with me the 
best of all of either

well as any lately in- 
troduced; its berries 
are monstrous in size 
and most of good 
shape, though some 
are com pressed or 
coxcomb shaped, flesh 
solid, sweet, rich and 
.juicy and of luscious 
, flavor. Plants hardy 
very large and vigorous. It bears well under 
any ordinary treatment, while under high 
cultivation its productiveness becomes im- 
mense. Price 40 cents per dozen; three doz- 
en for #1.(10, by mail, or 50 eents per 10(1, or 
$4.00 per 1000, (500 accounted at 1000 rate), by Express, at expense of purchaser. 
-LANG’S HAND WEEDER- 
i 
I consider this the best weeder ever put 
on the market. It is largely used and 
highly praised by market gardeners; and 
rniou growers cannot afford tube without 
fit. Invaluable also to ladies in working 
~ among the flowers. It 
gives perfect use of the hand and is made of the finest knife < 
steel. Price, free by mail, 30 cents.
