Hew Strawberries 
During the past two or three years more 
advancement has been made in Strawberries 
by the introduction of greatly improved va¬ 
rieties. than previously for a long time. 
We have tested a large number of the 
newer offerings and are so well pleased with 
a few of them that we have propagated a 
supply of fine plants which we offer our 
strawberry-loving friends on very favorable 
terms. 
This is regarded as the greatest acquisition yet 
known among Strawberries. It possesses all the qual¬ 
ities that constitute a Perfect Berry. Plant and leaf 
monstrous, deep green, vigorous, hardy and prolific, 
fruit-stalk long and very strong. Berries immense, 
generally oblong narrowing to the apex, but irregu¬ 
lar, quite often flattened, clear bright red, smooth and 
glossy, firm, sweet, with a delicate aroma. 
Sharpless Seedling has now been fruited in many 
places for two years, and in all instances has sustain¬ 
ed to an unusual degree the high praise bestowed 
upon it by its introducers. The plants were only last 
season sold at eight and ten cents each. We now of¬ 
fer very fine ones at 40 cents per dozen, $2.00 per 100 
post paid by mail, or $1.00 per 100, $8.00 per 1000, by 
express. 
For spring planting we have now nothing- 
left but sharpless which will be supplied at 
the low rate quoted above. 
On and after September 1st we will sup¬ 
ply fine plants of the following new and 
standard sorts at the prices annexed:

Celery Plants. 
The demand for Celery increases annually 
in our markets and we find it necessary to 
increase our plant beds accordingly. We 
shall this season strive to have the largest 
and best stock of Celery Plants that we have 
ever offered at the low price of $2.50 per M. 
Varieties: Dwarf White Solid, Boston Mar 
ket, Giant Solid, and La Plume Chestnut.

Price-List of 
Vegetable Plants. 
We have for the past ten years probably 
handled a larger quantity of Vegetable 
Plants than any other parties in this section 
of the country, and shall continue to keep a 
supply on hand during their season. 
We have room here for but a few quota¬ 
tions, which will give an idea of our very 
low prices. Our hot-bed plants will all be 
transplanted and hardened in cold frames 
and will give satisfaction.

LiLTE 
Cabbage Plante. 
A Great Specialty of our business is grow¬ 
ing Cabbage Plants for market gardeners 
and planters, who find it cheaper to pur¬ 
chase healthy, stocky, well-grown plants of 
us than to grow them. We shall this season 
make a seed-bed at least four acres in extent 
which will produce about six million plants. 
We are not afraid to compete with the world 
in prices or quality of plants. To insure 
freedom from disease we shall use ground 
never before occupied by any of the cabbage 
tribe. They will be ready by June 1st, and 
kept on hand till August. They will be care 
fully packed in damp moss and boxed so as 
to carry safely for three days by express, at 
the following rates: 1000 $2.00, 2000 $3.50, 
5000 $8.00, 10 000 or over at $1.50 per M. 
Price at the beds will be $1.50 per M. re¬ 
gardless of quantity. 
Varieties. We can supply plants of all 
the varieties named under head of Cabbages 
in our seed-list, but shall grow Early Wih- 
nigstadt, Fottlers Drumhead, and Premium 
Flat Dutch in the greatest quantities. 
Bear in mind that we can fill orders for 
any quantity and will thank you to remem¬ 
ber us whether you want one dozen or One 
hundred Thousand. Dealers and large plan¬ 
ters will be furnished special rates on appli¬ 
cation. State how many and what kinds 
you want and we will quote prices. 
UggpTell your neighbors of this please.
