Rhode Island White Cap Seed Corn. 
Acknowledged to be one of the best varieties. Fourteen 
bushels by measure of ears yield ten bushels by weight of 
shelled corn. This corn, raised by me in Rhode Island, is 
better adapted for seed corn soutli of this State, than corn 
raised on the spot, as it will ripen earlier. 
Also for sale a full-blooded Ayrshire Bull Calf, one year 
old this month, with pedigree, and from the best of stock.

VMDERVEER’S SEEDLING. 
Inintroducing'to the public my new seedling potato I would 
say.it was grown from seed raised by me in 18G2 from import¬ 
ed California potatoes. Having cultivated it from that time, 
it has each year proved more and more its superior quality 
and merits, possessing all the points desirable in that high¬ 
ly esteemed esculent. I claim for it that- as to productive¬ 
ness, size and uniformity, earliness, whiteness, fine flavor, 
and drvness in cooking, no rot while growing or keeping, 
freedom from blight, it excels all others. As a winter and 
spring variety is has no equal, retaining its solidity, fresh¬ 
ness, and flavor, having had prime old on my table one day 
and ripe new ones the next. Prices for 18C9 as follows: per 
barrel, $12, bushel $5. half bushel $2.75, peck $1.50, 4 lbs., 
postage paid. $1. Sample can be seen and circular obtained 
of the undersigned or at this office. Address orders to
