Boston Market Vegetables. 
BEST AND CHEAPEST. 
Y T e wish to call attention to our 
facilities for furnishing the choicest 
of garden seeds, being in the midst 
of the most successful market-gar¬ 
deners in the country, who are 
famous not only in Boston, but in 
New York and Philadelphia,where 
the supply of the finest forced 
vegetables are sent, such as White 
Spine Cucumber, Lettuces, and 
Radishes, etc. Some of our mar¬ 
ket-gardeners have spent -from 15 
to 20 years in perfecting particular 
kinds of vegetables, and only in¬ 
tend to grow seeds for their own 
use, but sometimes have a small 
surplus. We make it a point to 
secure that surplus without regard 
to cost, and can offer a few kinds 
by the packet only. We have had 
the pleasure of introducing the 
Gen. Grant Tomato, Moore’s Early Concord Corn, and the 
Lungrew Squash, which have proved decided acquisitions. 
We offer the following specialties: 
Per Pkt . 
Cauliflower, Boston Market.25c.

By JOSEPH J. WHITE. 
ILLUSTRATED. PRICE, POST-PAID, $1.25. 
The author of this work lias aimed to embody, in a plain 
and concise manner, all the useful and practical facts which 
study and experience have yielded to the inquiring cran¬ 
berry grower of the present time. The business has in¬ 
creased enormously within the last ten years, and knowledge 
and experience have kept pace with that increase. 
The endeavor has been to make this work as comprehen¬ 
sive as possible; and it is believed that it will prove an ef¬ 
ficient guide to all who may have cause to consult its pages.
