GENUINE SEED.—The experience of the past two seasons fully confirms all that was claimed for this variety 
when first offered, and it now stands unrivaled in size, productiveness, and quality. 
Specimens were exhibited the past season by Mr. Conover, which were grown alongside the best “Oyster ilay ” varieties, 
and received the same care and treatment, which attained four times the size of that popular variety. 
Though but two years from the seed, many of the plants produced from twenty to thirty sprouts, averaging from two to 
four inches in circumference, and were ready for cutting one year in advance of the ordinary varieties. Our stock is all 
from the original Bed, and eve guarantee its genuineness. Secils In lialf-ounce packets, SO cents per packet, 810 per pound.

New Early Sweet Potato—Southern 
Queen. 
This variety, originally from South America, was intro¬ 
duced by us ill this vicinity in the Spring of 1869, and lias 
been extensively tested in various parts of the country for 
the past two years, with the most satisfactory results. It 
was grown the past summer by several cultivators of the 
“Nansemond,” who pronounced it ten days earlier, more 
productive, a better keeper and of better quality than that 
favorite variety, making it the Siceet Potato of the North, 
as well a3 a valuable addition to those cultivated at the 
South. Its keeping qualities are remarkable. If fully dried, 
and carefully handled to avoid bruising when harvesting, 
and placed in a warm, dry cellar, they need no more care 
than tlie common potato. 
Price of tlic tubers, 4ft. bv mail, post-paid, $1: by express, 
freight paid by purchaser, $2 per neck; $3 per half bushel; 
$5 per bushel. 
Slips of this variety will be for sale in May, by mail, pre¬ 
paid, $1 for fifty; $1.50 per hundred; $12 per thousand, by 
express. Address

colored rootsol tlie Imported Long Orange Carrot, bv which

nounce it the best variety in tlie market, and one which will 
not fail to give satisfaction to the purchaser. 1 oz., 15 cts.; 4
