Marblehead Mammoth Cabbage ! 
This is the largest cabbage in the world, sometimes weigh¬ 
ing over sixty pounds each, and averaging as high as thirty 
pounds by the acre! It is not only large, nut cannot be sur¬ 
passed for reliability for heading, tenderness, and sweetness. 
As some cultivators have an impression that this cabbage 
cannot be fully matured outside of Marblehead, I invite 
their attention to the following extracts from among the 
many commendatory letters which I have received : 
“ YTour Marblehead Mammoth Cabbage cannot be excelled. 
There were heads weighing 50 lbs., and heads of Fottler’s 
Improved Brunswick (from your seed) weighing 40 lbs — 
John TI. Howlett, Charlestown, Ill.” 
64 1 raised from your seed Marblehead Mammoth Cabbages 
that weighed 50 lbs—A. H. Mace, Cliutonville, N. Y., Nov. 
14th, 1869.” 
‘•Your Marblehead Mammoth Cab'oages were very fine, 
they all headed well, and weighed 27 to 40, and 47 tbs.—W. 
Llewellyn, Red Wing, Minn., March 12, 1869.” 
“Your Marblehead Mammoth Cabbages are wonderful; 
they grew to the size of an umbrella.—Thomas Flanigan, 
Palermo, Kansas.” 
44 The Marblehead Mammoth Cabbages were a perfect suc¬ 
cess. They headed well, and were three times as large as 
any cabbage I ever raised before.—J. F. Butt, Kosciusco, 
Miss.” 
44 1 have raised your Marblehead Mammoth Cabbage for 
two years, and it has proved the tenderest and sweetest cab¬ 
bage I ever saw.—S. S. Groves, Stones Prairie, Ill.” 
John Van Wormer, Springs’ Mills, Mich., raised some 
weighing 30 lbs. John Humphreys, Titusville, N. Y., 33% 
lbs. M. I). Clark, Elyria, Ohio, 37 lbs. H. A. Terry, Crescent 
City, Iowa, 40 lbs., measuring 56 inches around the solid 
head. Thos. A. Lambert, Becancour, C. W., exhibited three 
cabbages, weighing respectively 40, 42%, and 44 lbs. John 
Wo Dean. St. Michael’s, Md., has grown them weighing 33 
!bs. S. M. Shuck, Preston, Minn., 33 lbs., when trimmed. E. 
H. Ellis, Etna Green, Ind., over 30lbs. A. E. Garrison, Des 
Moines, Iowa, 30 lbs. James S. Allen. Union Springs, N. Y., 
30 lbs., when stripped of loose leaves. Win. Lee, Jr., Denver, 
Colorado, has grown heads weighing 45 to 50 lbs., as a penal¬ 
ty for which the miners of the mountains call him the “ Big 
Cabbage Man.” Leonard Choat, Denver, Colorado, raised 
one which weighed 46 lbs when trimmed of waste leaves. 
Collins Eaton, Ogdensburgh, N. Y., 50 lbs. P. Sweeney, 
Loretto. Pa.,43Ibs. Sam’l B. Ornsbee, Rolling Prairie, Wis.,

lbs.,'stripped of loose leaves. Hundreds of others have 
written me that they have “taken all the prizes at the 
County Fairs.” “ Raised the largest cabbage ever seen in 
the country.’’ “Astonished all tlieir neighbors.” 44 That in 
sweetness, crispness, and tenderness they were unequaled,” 
etc., etc. As the original introducer of "the Mammoth Cab¬

TAKE NOTICE! The mixing of No. X Peruvian 
Guano with worthless Guano, or earth of the same ap¬ 
pearance, and selling the same for pure is being done ex¬ 
tensively by Uiiscruiralous Dealers. Those who 
manipulate are so expert in the business, that it is 
almost impossible to detect the fraud. Bags are 
properly branded and made to correspond with the 
original. Country merchants can make a larger 
profit by selling the mixed article. We guarantee 
that we sell to he Pure No. 1 Peruvian Guano. 
'Farmers and dealers supplied at the lowest market 
price. 
BONE! Every farmer, gardener and fruit-grower who 
has had experience, knows full well the value of Ground 
Bone as a manure; it is the cheapest and best fer¬ 
tilizer for the farmer. All soil ’must have phos¬ 
phate of lime to make It fertile; vegetation feeds upon 
it, Pure Ground Bone will supply it. Tne Bone we 
sell is collected from our New York markets daily and 
ground, and is, we believe, the best in the market. 
Farmers and dealers supplied at lowest market 
price. 
POUDEETTE! Common and Double Refined 
Poudrette. The best in the market.

! What they say about the 
Blanchard Churn. 
O. S. Bliss, Esq., Secretary of the Vermont Dairymen’s 
Association, in his valuable Essay on 44 The Management of 
a Good Butter Dairy,” read before the late Annual Meeting 
of the American Dairymen’s Association at Utica, says: 
“ We use the Blanchard Churn , and recommend it as su¬ 
perior to any other for churning , gathering , working , and 
salting butler , not excepting the venerable and superannu¬ 
ated up-and-down dash.” 
M. C. Weld, Esq., late Associate Editor of the 44 American 
Agriculturist,” says: “We have been using one of the Blanch¬ 
ard Churns a whole season. It does its regular duty, not 
only well , but to our supreme satisfaction. Of late the 
whole work has been done by a girl of fourteen .”
