Cabbage Plants. 
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 $8.50, 10 000 or over at $1.50 per M. 
figlPTell your neighbors of this please.

The Clark Apple. 
A Valuable new variety which originated 
from a chance seedling in this county. 
V e say it is new meaning that it is un¬ 
known to the world at large, although it 
has been grown and tested in this vicinity 
for a number of years and found to be un¬ 
excelled as a late fall and early winter eat¬ 
ing and cooking apple. The tree is an early, 
regular, and abundant bearer, of medium 
sized fruit, of a light green color. The flesh 
is white, tender and very juicy, of a rich, 
sparkling, aromatic, sub-acid flavor, which 
is relished by nearly every one. In fact we 
have never found so good and profitable an 
apple which is yet unknown to nurserymen. 
Specimens of the fruit were sent by us 
last fall to A. M. Purdy, Ellwanger & Barry, 
M. B. Bateham, and other noted Pomologists 
all of whom speak very highly of it. Being 
confidant that it is well worthy of general 
introduction we have decided to offer scions 
carefully packed in damp moss and sent to 
any address prepaid by mail at only 25 cents 
per dozen, or $1.50 per hundred. I would 
advise all my friends who are interested in 
choice fruits to send for at least a dozen and 
give them a trial. No young trees for sale.
