POTTER’S 
EXCELSIOR CORN. 
The satifaction given by our 
former introductions gives us con¬ 
fidence in calling attention to the 
above novelty. Since we intro¬ 
duced the now famous Concord 
Corn, we have watched with in¬ 
terest for any improvement that 
promised to eclipse that popular 
favorite. We believe the variety 
now offered superior in many re¬ 
spects, combining as it does earli¬ 
ness with unexcelled sweetness, 
richness of flavor, and durability 
of tenderness. We are confident 
this will prove the greatest acquisi¬ 
tion yet ottered. Packages contain¬ 
ing sufficient for fifty hills, 25 cents. 
For full description of the above 
and other novelties see Amateur 
Cultivator’s Guide to the Flow¬ 
er and Kitchen Garden, enlarged, 
improved and embellished by a 
magnificent colored plate, and hundreds of engravings, de¬ 
scriptive of more than three thousand varieties of choice 
Flower and Vegetable Seeds, Gladiolus, Lillies. &c., &c., also 
full directions for culture. Sent free on receipt of two 3
