Stone Mason Cabbage. 
Tills is the standard cabbage in the Boston Market, being 
an improvement on the Mason in size of the head. It may be 
grown either as a Fall or Winter Cabbage, being later than 
the Mason. It heads very hard, is very tender and sweet, and 
is unsurpassed for liability for heading. From II. W. Murray, 
Esq., West River, Maryland, “They are the most delicate and 
delightful Cabbage I ever tasted. My gardener Lnow nearly 
70 years of age,] says, he never saw such. I intend to plant 
largely next Spring.” 
From S. Mandeville, Freedom Plains, N. Y., “ I have not 
had Cabbage head as well, and give as good satisfaction for 
20 years.” From L. B. Legs, Dover, N. H., “ It is the best 
Cabbage I ever saw, either tor the table or market. It is sure 
to head, and hard, too." From Mr. Jos. Hathaway, of Marble¬ 
head, “ It is an extraordinarily good kind. I carry no cab¬ 
bage to market, that gives such satisfaction. I have not had 
a head fail on half an acre.” From David Buxton, Jr., So. 
Danvers, Mass., “It is the hardest heading and best Cabbage 
that I ever cultivated. I find that under good cabbage cul¬ 
ture every plant on an acre will set a good bead. I can guar¬ 
anty this.” From Mr. Allen Rowe, Swampscott, Mass., “I 
raise the Stone Mason Cabbage by the acre, and would raise 
no other, were the seed given me. Give them a fair chance, 
and they all head as hard as bricks. They are an excellent 
Cabbage to keep through the Winter, for they are as hard in 
the Spring, as when they were put in the cellar, and peal like 
an orange.” I warrant my seed fresh and pure, growing it 
myself Irom selected heads, and wholly from the center shoot. 
One ounce of seed, with full instruction for cultivation, 33 
cts.; four ounces $1.00; one pound, $4.00, all post-paid; or $3

introduce to the public the purest variety in the United 
States. John M. Ives, Esq., who was the original introducer 
of the Marrow Squash, certifies as follows of the seed from 
which these Squashes were grown: “ I hereby certify, that the 
Marrow Squashes raised by Mr. Franklin Alley, and pur¬ 
chased by Mr. James J. H. Gregory, of Marblehead, Mass., 
for seed purposes, are the purest I know of in this country, 
being the purest I have seen for many years past.” 
I am ready to supply the public with seed, post-paid, in 
packages containing about 50 seed, for 25 cents; two pack¬ 
ages, 40 cents; one pound, $1, to purchasers paying their own

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY. 
“ The Atlantic is already recognized, at home and abroad 
as the exponent of our highest literature; and its indepen¬ 
dence of thought and speech have gained for it confidence 
and esteem.”—[N. Y. Evening Post. 
“ It is witli feelings of well-grounded pride in the position 
which American periodical literature lias gained, that any 
American must notice the present and prospective manage¬ 
ment of our ablest monthly magazine. In its own field The 
Atlantic has been confessedly unrivaled since the issue of the 
first number, in November, 1857. Following up the triumphs 
of the present year, Messrs. Ticknor & Fields announce for 
the seventh volume, which will commence with January 
1861, a list of solid attractions that cannot fail to greatly in¬ 
crease the large circulation already established. They have 
such a constellation of contributors as never before made 
brilliant the progress of an American serial. And so ion°- as 
it is edited and published with the liberal judgment now'ciis- 
played, The Atlantic must remain a most significant index of 
American thought.” — [N. Y. World. 
“ Its success, thus far, has been ample, and as creditable io 
the country as it is, no doubt, satisfactory to the. publishers • 
and it is wholly due to the intrinsic merit and variety of its 
matter, and the vigor and independence with which its lite¬ 
rary tone has been sustained.”—[Boston Journal. 
“ The Atlantic is tho only truly American magazine of gen¬ 
eral literature, art, and politics; in the two former items far 
above the common standard, and in the latter the embodi 
meat of the spirit of'76, and its voice the glorious Declaration 
of Independence.”—[Commercial Times, Oswego, N. Y. 
“ It lias gained the highest repute ever held by an Ameri¬ 
can magazine, and has nad a marked effect for good upon 
American literature. With such a list of writers'as it now 
announces, its future promises an increased brilliancy and 
power.”—[Boston Gazette. 
“ We like The Atlantic, and avail ourselves of every onnor 
tunity to say so."—[Newport (R. I.) Mercury. 
“ It furnishes abundant food for thought and rational en¬ 
joyment and the publishers are doing a real service to the 
country. —[Democrat, Bedtord, Pa. 
“ We should be puzzled to find among our own magazines 
anything of its kind to excel The Atlantic.”—[London Erm 
Critic. 
“ Its articles are universally contributed by writers of ac¬ 
knowledged merit and reputation, and the marked success 
which has attended its publication is the best evidence of its 
sterling value.”—[Pittsburgh Pa. Chronicle. 
“ The Atlantic is eminently calculated for the perusal of a 
high and intellectual class of readers.”—[Philadelphia In¬ 
quirer.
