PRIZE AWARD ON VEGETABLE VOTE FOR 
FEBRUARY. 
The result of the vote of the ‘Vegetables" is given 
below, and we feel safe in saying that in some 
respects the ‘'vote" will be a surprise to every person 
who took part in the contest. 
An analyst of the vote shows that a large majority 
of our patrons prefer Early Jersey Wakefield for 
early, Fotler’s Brunswick for medium and Premium 
Flat Dutch for late, and quite a number of them 
declare that our "Puget Sound” strain of seed 
produces the best of each of the above named vari¬ 
eties. 
In Tomatoes, “Livingston’sPerfection 1 isdeclared, 
by a handsome majority, the ‘ Best Early Market” 
and the “Best for Home Use”. This verdict is in 
accord with our own opinion, as expressed in these 
pages in times past. 
‘ Henders n’s Snowball” stands away ahead of all 
competitors, as the “Best Early” cauliflower. For 
“Best Late” the contest is a hot one between “Le 
Normand's Short Stem” and "Lackawanna” the 
victory remaining with “Le Normand's.” 
‘ Clcvel tnd’s First and Best” after a sharp bout 
with “Bliss’s American Wonder” is found to be the 
Best Early Market Pea. The contest between these 
two was so close, that the last ballot was required 
to settle the question. 
The old fashioned “Champion of England" dis¬ 
tances all rivals, as the “Be.-t Table Sort” of peas, 
and ‘ American Wonder” occupies second place. 
The verdict in regard to Peppers, is that “Red 
Cayenne” is without doubt the “Best Hot” and 
“Golden Dawn” the “Best Sweet.” The vote on 
these two varieties was singularly alike, being only 
a difference of three votes. 
In Potatoes “Beauty of Hebron” leads them all, 
both as “Best Early Market” and “Best for Table. ’ 
Early Ohio lakes second place as “Best Early Mark, 
et” Early Rose and Snoivfiake divide the honors of 
second place, under the head of “Best for Table.’’ 
No one of the contestants has in his list all of the 
vegetables named above as winners. The varieties 
are remarkable and it is noticeable that quite a 
number out of the lists received do not contain a 
single one of the thirteen varieties of vegetables in¬ 
dicated above. 
The best list comes from M. H. Beckwith, Elmira, 
N. Y., and contains but one error which is a substitu¬ 
tion of Henderson's First of All for Cleveland’s 
First and Best as Best Early Market Pea. 
The next best list coming from Mrs. Delia Croop, 
Fowlerville, Mich., contained two errors. The prize is 
awarded to M. H. Beckwith, Elmira. N. Y., and ve 
take pleasure in honoring his order for Five Dollars 
worth of seeds such as he may select from our cat¬ 
alogue. 
Below we give names of the first and second high¬ 
est contestants in each class w ith number of votes 
each received, and also the whole number of minor
