Pringle’s New Hybridized 
Excelsior-Hulless Oats. 
Mr. C. G. Pringle, the well known successful hybridizer, 
to whose efforts we are Indebted for the celebrated Cham¬ 
plain and Defiance Wheat#, has been successful in impart¬ 
ing important improvements to another cereal. We have 
purchased the entire stock of this promising novelty, and 
now offer for the first time Pringle’s Hybridized Ex¬ 
celsior-Hulless Oats. 
With a view to impart to the hulless species the size of 
plant, vigorous habit, and productiveness of one or other of 
the favorite hulled sorts, Mr. Pringle, amongst other ex¬ 
periments, hybridized the well-known Excelsior Oats with 
the Chinese Hu less, and the experiment proved highly 
successful, the result being the variety now offered. 
For further particulars see our Illustrated List of novel¬ 
ties mailed free to all applicants. 
Price: Packets containing one ounce, 25 cents; 5 packets 
for $1.00.

NEW EARLY TOBACCO, 
GENERAL GRANT. 
The earliest Tobacco in cultivation, particularly adapted 
for growing in the Northern States. Last summer it pro¬ 
duced leaves 44 inches in length, of proportionate breadth, 
and matured its crop perfectly, as far north as Duluth, 
Minnesota. The leaf has extremely small veins, is of the 
llnest possible texture, and very elastic. One of the best 
judges of tobacco in New York city pronounces it an ex¬ 
ceedingly promising variety, and an old Connecticut Valley 
grower says it is the choicest as well as the earliest sort he 
lias seen. Directions for cultivation and curing sent with 
each packet. Price 25 cents per packet: 5 packets, $1.00
