CHOICE SEEDS for CRITICAL 
MARKET GARDEN USE. 
Of the seeds offered, I have myself grown nearly 130 varie¬ 
ties—constituting those in largest demand, and those most 
difficult to procure of high excellence—upon four separate 
tracts, giving kindred sorts such distance that admixture 
was impossible, and throughout the season devoting to them 
constant care and painstaking, that they might in every 
respect he the best. Nothing will so fullv convince of their 
value as a critical trial of them bv the side of anv, and such 
a test I cordially invite. My flower Seeds, I think, are 
worthy of equal commendation. 
My Garden Manual, besides containing the most complete 
treatise ever published on Hot-Iicds. is full of practical hints 
and labor-saving methods learned in many years’market 
gardening. Sent for two stamps.
