EiMiuiii AiBratiim. 
New Golden Striped Lily from Japari. 
Thus described by Dr. Bindley, in the London Gardeners’ 
Chronicle. “ If ever a flower merited the name of glorious, 
it is Uiis, which stands far above all othei' Lilies, whether we 
regard its size, its sweetness, or its exquisite arrangement of 
color. F'rom this delicious flower there arises the perfume 
of Orange blossoms sufficient to till a large room, but so del¬ 
icate as to respect the weakest nerves.” It is quite hardy 
and deserves a place in every collection. Flowering Bulbs 
mailed to any address upon recemt of $5.00.

Early !§elbec Potatoes I 
This choice new variety, originating in Maine, the great 
potato State, has given great satisfaction this season. It is 
not only early, but yields abundant crop.s, and is of first- 
rate quality. I can supply them in September and October, 
(there is risk from frost in spring) at $2.00 per bushel, or $rr 
per barrel. 
Mr. Thomas Huggon, of Y'ouugstown, O., writes: “The' 
ground Is completely filled with them. I have Early Good¬ 
rich and Harrison, Gleason and Cuzco, -with some sixteen or 
seventeen otlier kinds, but I think your’s (the Sehee’s) will 
beat them all in yield.”—-And let the public note in addi¬ 
tion to the above, that their quality is excellent.

I wtirraut my Potato Onion Sets (or Seed) to be pure, con¬ 
taining no sliallotts or any other variety of Onion. Potato 
Onions mature earlier than any other sort. I will sell at the 
rate of $4 per bushel; or, $10 per barrel, express charges 
paid as far as Boston. 
Potato Onions should be ordered in the fall, as they re¬ 
quire to be set out so early in the spring, as they can not 
then be sent for without danger of freezing.
