Lane’s Improved 
IMPERIAL 
SUGAR BEET. 
This superb variety is the 
result of a careful selection 
for several years past of the 
French Imperial Sugar Beet, 
by Mr. Henry Lane, an expe¬ 
rienced farmer of Cornwall, 
Vt. After a satisfactory trial, 
we can recommend it with 
the greatest confidence, as 
being hardier, more produc¬ 
tive, and containing a greater 
percentage of sugar than the 
ordinary variety, and much 
better adapted for cultiva¬ 
tion in this country, either for 
stock or the manufacture of 
sugar. IVe hear the most 
favorable reports from those 
who have tested it in various 
sections of the country, all of 
whom are satisfied of its 
superiority. It is the best 
beet raised for feeding cows 
oryoungstock. From thirty 
to forty tons raised to the 
acre, at a cost of from five to 
eight cents per bushel. The 
cheapness with which they 
can be raised, the largo 
amount of healthy, nutritious 
food raised to the acre, and 
its great value as food for 
cattle, sheep, and swine, 
make this the most profit¬ 
able root to raise, 
pounds is the amount usually required for one acre, 
ave purchased the entire stock of Mr. Lane. 
15 cents per ounce; 50 cents lour ounces; $1.50 ft 1b.

Bliss’s Improved Long Orange Carrot. 
This superior variety is the result of a careful selection, 
for successive years. o"f the best-formed, largest, and deep¬ 
est-colored roots of the Imported Long Orange Carrot, by 
which it lias attained a perfection hitherto unknown in tliip 
useful vegetable, being larger, better flavored, and of a 
deeper orange color, and more sure to produce a crop. But¬ 
ter-makers will find tliis variety very useful in giving to 
their butter a rich, deep yellow color. We unhesitatingly 
pronounce it the best variety ill the market, and one which 
will not fail to give satisfaction to the purchaser. One oz, 
15c.; four ounces, 50c.; one 11)., $1.50, by mail, post-paid.

A New Squash. 
I have a new Squash for the Public (see reading matter on 
page Gl, February No. of American Agriculturist). Here is 
what is said of it: 
lion. Marshall P. Wilder writes: “I have tested the Mar¬ 
blehead Squash. For solidity and richness, I have seen no 
squasli that surpasses it.” 
Dr. George B. Loring writes: “Ihave tried the squash. It 
is delicious. I have seen nothiug eqaul to it since the palmy 
days of the Marrow.” 
Paschal Morris, Esq., writes:. “I have had the squash 
thoroughly tested by two of the best housekeepers in these 
S arts, one in Philadelphia and the other in New Jersey. 
ne repo'rts that it is the nicest squasli she ever cooked; 
the other, that it made the nicest pie and pudding she ever 
tasted. Personally, I would say that 1 should regret if it 
was any better, ns there might bo danger of eating too 
much.” 
It is a very Me keeper and good cropper. I have named 
it the Marblehead Squash. In size it averages with the 
Hubbard. Packages, with seed sufficient for six hills, with 
full directions for cultivation, 25 cts. each; five for $1.00. 
Dealers supplied at the usual discount. My Seed Catalogue, 
with a very full description of this and other new vegeta¬ 
bles. Lee to all. 
JAMES J. H. GREGORY, Marblehead, Mass. 
I was the first to introduce to the public the Hub¬ 
bard Squash, American Turban Squash, Marblehead

squash, new varieties of corn, three fine melons, and other

ious.to get, the very best of vegetable seed. I grow a hun¬ 
dred and fifty kinds oil my four seed-farms, right under my
