“Cabbages, and flaw to Grow Them.” 
This is the title of a very thorough treatise that I have 
written, giving all the minute details so invaluable to the 
beginner. It treats on selecting and preparing the soil, pre¬ 
paring and applying the manure, the best varieties to raise, 
(illustrated by line engravings), the hoeing, cultivating, 
and the protection of the plants from tlieir insect enemies, 
how to market, and how to keep over winter, and on other 
subjects.-Also, my treatise on ‘‘Onions, Wiiat Kinds 
to Raise, and How to Raise Them,” and “Squashes; 
How to Grow Them.” Either of these will be sent post¬ 
paid, to any address, for 30 cts. 1 intend that each of these 
Treatises shall be the most thorough of their kind published, 
and I believe the public will find them to be decidedly so. 
Catalogues of my Garden and Flower Seed sent gratis to

has been said in its favor. Testimonials from nearly every 
State endorse it as the best field corn. In many instances 
being planted in the same field, and having in all respects 
the same chance, it has ripened from two to three weeks 
earlier, and yielded double the amount of other varieties. 
It has taken highest premium in this (Suffolk) Co., lor four 
successive years. Every Farmer should send for a descrip¬ 
tive circular giving History and Testimonials from reliable 
Farmers throughout the country. Prices—One Quart, by
