CHOICE SEEDS for CRITICAL 
MARKET GARDEN USE. 
Of the seeds ottered, 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 be the best. Nothing will so fully convince of their 
value as a critical trial of them by the side of any, 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-Beds, is lull of practical hints 
and labor-saving methods learned in many years’market
