purest quality. My Annual Catalogue is now ready, and

ceive it without writing lor it. It abounds in line enerav- 
ings, many ol which were taken from photographs of the 
vegetables themselves. It has not. only all novelties, but 
all the standard vegetables of the farm and garden (over 
one hundred of which are of my own growing), and a care¬ 
fully selected list of Flower Seeds. 
All my seed is sold under three warrants,—1st: That 
all money sent shall reach me. 2d: That allseed ordered 
shall reach the purchaser. 3d: That my seed shall he fresh 
and true to name. I invite all to send for Catalogues,” both 
for themselves and their friends.

The Mammoth Deist Corn, 
In corn that yields largely, there are three points to he 
observed, viz.: large ears; depth of grain; and well filled 
at both ends. Tlie Mammoth Dent is far superior to all 
other corn in these respects. It has from twenty to forty 
rows to each ear, and will weigli sixty pounds to tlie bushel. 
It is the largest early field-coin produced in America, and 
will ripen in from ninety to one hundred days. 
In circumference of ear and depth of (/ram, it far sur¬ 
passes any corn we ever sato.—H. Y. Bee .Ioukn'ai.. 
Price, by mail: two pounds for one dollar, or six packages, 
two pounds each, five dollars. Bv express, one peck for 
$2.00; half bushel, $3.00; one bushel, $5.00. 
No order filled for less than one dollar.

J. T. HiiXYEfi, Waupun, Wis., writes: 
" I never raised so fine a piece of corn. 
Planted 104 rods of ground. I hired a 
man for $6 to husk and put tlie same in 
crib, keeping an exact account of the No. 
of Bushels. lie figures up 181 Buslsels 
(ears), not one ear hut that was sound. 
Tlie finest grade of Corn I ever saw, and 
so considered by all who have seen it. 
Tlie man who husked and tlie man who 
cut it up, botli say they never saw so 
much Corn grown on so small a piece of 
ground. Planted the 23d of May —not 
one soft ear in the field.” 
We are credibly informed that certain 
parties who purchased small quantities 
of tliis Seed last spring, and are now of¬ 
fering at low prices, have largely over¬ 
sold their stock. Beware of cheap and 
impure Seed. Get tlie genuine.

This superior variety, highly prized in the Boston Markets, 
lias uniformly taken the first premium at the Exhibitions of 
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society at Boston. On the 
second day of June, last year, Mr. Moore exhibited a bunch 
of twelve stalks, which weighed 3 lbs. 5 oz. At the same 
time there was on exhibition, from New York, a hunch of 
Conover’s Colossal, containing eighteen stalks, weighing 3 
lbs. 8 oz., only three ounces more than the twelve stalks of 
Moore’s Premium, to which the first prize was unanimously 
awarded.

A seed-head of mine, shown at the Mass. Hort. Society, at¬ 
tracted great attention, on account of its large size. A field 
of this variety makes the host bee pasture known. A few

malaria. Extensively cultivated iu Russia. Have selected

last Ward’s Nectar was in point of sweetness and flavor, the 
best of several varieties tested.” Cassaba grows to weigh 
12 or 15 lbs., is very thick-fleshed, sweet, and delicious. Ar¬ 
lington grows to a still larger size, and is of superior quali¬ 
ty. Each of these are green-fleshed. Sill’s Hybrid has 
Salmon-colored flesh, and is characterized by a delicious, 
spicy sweetness. Each variety, per package. 15 cts ; Ward’s 
Ncclar, 59 cts. per oz. Seed Catalogues sent free to nil.
