AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
[February, 
The Earliest Tomato Known, 
THE COXO TIER OR. 
TEN DAYS EARLIER THAN ANY OTHER TOMATO. 
Prof. Thurber, the well known editor of the American 
Agriculturist, thus describes it: 
I had over a dozen varieties, including this, among which 
were several novelties, as well as those accepted as standard 
varieties. I think it a moderate statement to say the Con¬ 
ti u :ror was ten days earlier than any other in the Garden. I 
would also add that in color, shape, and quality', this variety 
was highly satisfactory.” 
Price, Ho cts. per packet; 6 packets, $1.00. 
THE GOLDEN TROPHY. 
A sport of the well-known Trophy-^and its counterpart in 
shape, size, and general appearance, of a rich golden yellow 
color ; a valuable acquisition. 
25 cts. per packet; 6 packets, $1.00. 
GREEN GAGE TOMATO (Carter’s.) 
A new English variety of medium size, of very beautiful 
appearance, resembling a bright yellow plum in shape and 
color, with a distinct, piquant, and highly agreeable flavor, 
combining the Apple and Tcmato beautifully blended. As 
a table variety, either raw or cooked, it can be highly recom¬ 
mended. It is also equally desirable for preserving. 
25 cts. per packet.; 6 packets, $1.00. One packet each of the 
three varieties, 60 cents. 
Pringle’s Hybridized Potato Seed. 
The extraordinary success which has attended Mr. Prin¬ 
gle m his at,tempts to improve this valuable esculent—which 
lias resulted in the n roil notion of the Snowflake and 
Alpha, and last, though not least, the Rsihy— has en- 
couragpd him to still greater efforts in his favorite pursuit 
of hybridization, and we have now the pleasure of offering 
a very choice strain of seed saved by him, which is the 
product of numerous hybridizations, variously operated, 
with every care during the past season, between the above 
named and many of the best new and old varieties in cul¬ 
tivation, both English and American,and includes every 
strain, which Mr. Pringle will himself sow the coming spring. 
Packets of 25 seeds, 50 cents; 5 packets, $2. 
PREMIUMS. 
TWO NEW POTATOES. 
MM. (Pringle.) 
A new red kidney shaped potato of excellent promise, 
from the Early Rose hybridized with the White Peacliblow. 
The shape is oblong, slightly flattened, resembling that of 
the Early Rose. In its coloring the red of the latter variety 
is deepened by the carmine which shows in the blotches of 
the White Peacliblow. The eyes, which are but slightly 
sunken, are carmine like those of this variety. Tin* flesh 
white, fine-grained, firm, and of excellent flavor. Tubers of 
medium size ; and are clustered close about, the loot of the 
stalks. The time of maturity is the same as that of the 
Early Hose, and it is equally productive. 
To those who prefer a red-skin potato we can confidently 
recommend this excellent variety. 
Per lb ., SI.00 ; 3 lbs. to one address , $2.50, by mail , prepaid. 
By express or freight , charges paid by the purchaser , X

ALPHA. (Prinajc.) 
Tlic Earliest Variety Known. 
A very early variety for farm and garden culture, also for 
forcing under glass; fit for the table ten or fifteen days be¬ 
fore the. Early Rose. Of medium size, clear white, with the 
slightest tinge of red about the eyes ; flesh very white, fine¬ 
grained, dry, and of excellent flavor ; quality, of the highest 
excellence. A first-class certificate was awarded by the 
Royal Horticultural Society, of London, in 18T4. A silver 
medal was also awarded by the Massachusetts Horticultural 
Society. We can recommend this with the greatest confi¬ 
dence as the very best early variety in cultivation.
