All the vines we offer are grown without bottom heat, from well ripened wood, and in good, 
deep soil, not injured by extra manuring. 
In classifying we make no extras. Our Ho. 1 plants are the largest and best of our stock, 
and tlieir average quality is not allowed to be diminished by selecting the largest for 
retailing as extras. 
It accords neither with our taste nor our principles to assort that oui 
vines luive never been approaclied iu quality by those of any otlier propa¬ 
gators. Tile vines must speak for themselves, and those who wish to pur. 
chase largely are sufficiently wise to accept the evidence of the vines ratliei 
thantlie assertion of thegrower. To account forthe abundant roots of our 
plants it is only necessary to say that ours is the ox>en border culture. 
“VVe have discarded the pot-culture because the roots are thereby inevita¬ 
bly cramped, and in value as far as possible from the model roots of our 
figure, wliile the costs of pots and the labor necessary to insure this forced 
cramping compels the grower to sell at prices so high as to forbid purchase 
for extensive planting. 
AVe have reduced our prices very low. because wm deem it more profitable 
to sell a thousand DKIjAAVARES at 10 cents each, or a thousand 
lOlVAS at 30 cents each, than one-third of that quantity at double those 
rates. 
Those who wish to plant many acres cannot afford to buy at the high 
rates at which some valuable varieties have been hitherto sold, and our 
large culture demands for its outlet extensive planting. Our plan is tints 
by low prices to insure large sales. 
Our present stock of DEHiA'WARE and IONA remaining from the 
culture of last year, is about 100,000 plants. 
For the excellence of these varieties it is not necessary for ns to vouch. 
Tlieir surpassing qualities are known to all. and the general opinion of 
the OEIjAWARE was well expressed at the late Convention of Fruit 
Growers, at Kocliester, where the Delaware ranked first and the Iona next 
by large majorities. 
Of IVES’ SEEDliIIVG, we have remaining only 20,000. The freedom 
ot tills variety from rot or mildew, and its very rapid, hardy growth, make 
it one of the most reliable varieties—one of the few which are absolutely 
safe. PARSONS & CO.

NO. 243 STATE-ST., NEW HAVEN, CONN. 
This Corn has large ears, fine and delicious flavor, and is 
three weeks earlier than any other Sweet Corn in the State, 
of equal size and quality. It needs no recommendation to 
those who have eaten it. Those wlio have not, are referred 
to Hon. .lames E. English and Hon. John Woodruff of this 
State. It has brought fifty cents per dozen ears in Hew 
Haven the last three years. The greatest trouble has been, I 
could not raise enough to supply the demand. This year I 
have thought it best to let the public have tlie seed, and all 
those that want can have it, by ordering or calling soon. 
It will require about forty ears to plant one acre. Those 
that raise early corn for New ATork and other cities, will get 
more than double for their crop, if they plant this corn, as 
all the markets cannot be supplied this year. I sold in 
eighteen hundred and sixty-four, two hundred and thirteen 
dollars worth raised on three quarters of an acre of ground, 
besides what we ate and gave away. I will send it to any 
place in the United States for three dollars per dozen, or at 
the same rate for any number of ears, any way I may be di¬ 
rected, or will send a package or any number oi packages, 
each containing enough to plant about sixty hills, for twenty- 
five cents per package, by mail postage paid. 
All orders addressed to CALVIH RUSSELL, Hew Haven, 
Conn., with money enclosed, will be attended to promptly.

The quality of the KITTATIHNY is thus expressed by the 
Editor of the N. Y. World on receipt of some fruit. “We 
confess to being skeptical when told a better blackberry 
than the Lawton bad been found. ’ * But justice compels 
ns to acknowledge that never before have we tasted such 
Blackberries as those sent us by Mr. Williams. In the first 
place, the berries are large, deep colored, and firm in flesh, 
even when fully ripe—good marketing qualities. Second, 
they are sweet, juicy, melting in the mouth, more like a new 
Pine Strawberry than like a Blackberry, and are of excellent 
flavor.” The quality of my plants is so much superior to 
those usually sent out, even at higher prices, as to elicit uni¬ 
versal commendation. For the above article in full and oth¬ 
er testimonials see my New Catalogue, now ready, for 2 
stamps. Order early as the stock is very limited.

All my large stock of Ho. 1 and Ho. 2, Iona and Israella 
Vines is sold, except a small quantity I have reserved to use 
in filling retail orders. 
As has been the case every season, the demand for really 
good vines, has been beyond my ability to supply. That my 
vines sell so readily at full rates, argues well that the quality 
of vines offered will hereafter have much to do with their 
sale. Buy good vines at a good price, rather than vines ad¬ 
vertised at reduced rates. You maybe sure that with the 
present great demand for vines, all of good quality will be 
sought after at good prices.—Send for Price List.
