AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
EXTRAORDINARY NOVELTY!! 
I was the first to introduce to the public the Hub¬ 
bard Squash, American Turban Squash, Marblehead 
Mammoth Cabbage, Mexican Sweet Corn, Phinney’s Water¬ 
melon, and many other 
Mew and Valuable Vegetables. 
This season I have a new and exceedingly valuable 
squash, new varieties of corn, three fine melons, and other 
choice new vegetables for my customers. 
My business is to supply, what every good farmer is anx¬ 
ious to get, the ver// best of vegetable seed. I grow a hun¬ 
dred and fifty kinds on my four seed-farms, right under my 
own eye, making new vegetables a specialty, besides im¬ 
porting their choicest varieties from European growers. A 
fine selection of flower seed, home-grown and imported, 
will also be found in my Catalogue, which will be sent free 
to all applicants. 
As stated in my Catalogue, all my seed is sold under three 
warrants—1st: That all money sent shall reach me. 2d: 
That all seed ordered shall reach the purchaser. Sd : That 
my seeds shall be fresh, and true to name.

THE PREMIUM SANFORD CORN. 
THE VERDICT RENDERED. / 
It stands unrivaled. Two years’ trial in nearly every State 
has proved, 1st, that it will yield more per acre with same 
culture than any other variety which matures as early. 2d, 
that in many instances it has ripened in 85 days from plant¬ 
ing. 3d, that it produces from one third to double the 
quantity of foliage, making it highly valuable for fodder or 
soiling. Prices are within reach "of all to give it a trial. 
It will pay to change the “old-worn out ” for the new.

Canada Victor Tomato, 
I introduce to the Great Public this season a new Tomato 
(see reading matter, of this paper), which is probably the 
earliest of all varieties. Every marketman will lind com¬ 
bined in it just what he wants—viz.: extreme earliness with 
large size, the round or oval shape, solidity, richness of 
color, with an entire freedom from that greenness ancl 
cracking around the stem (which is a bad fault with some 
sorts), and first-class cropping qualities. 
Single package of 25 seeds, 25 cts.; five packages, $1.00. 
Packages of seed selected from the few very earliest, 50 cts. 
each, dealers supplied at a liberal discount.
