[October, 
Free Seeds for 1861. 
As in former years we shall provide a large assortment 
of valuable seeds to distribute without charge to every 
subscriber desiring them. The seeds will consist of va¬ 
rious kinds, for the Field, Garden, and Flower Plots. The 
list will he announed as soon as we can get our collection 
together. Part of them are now growing on our own 
ground ; others are being grown for us ; and we shall 
make a large importation from Europe o those best ob¬ 
tained there. These seeds will in many cases be worth 
lo the subscriber more than the cost of the w hole year’s 
subscription. Especially will this be the case in distant 
parts of the country remote from access to good and 
reliable seed stores
