Mr. Frank H. Page of Melrose, Mass., 
calls our attention to the fact that we 
ha ve omitted to mention in the catalogue 
number, several novelties which ought 
not to have been omitted, lie first men¬ 
tions two Chinese vegetables described 
in J. M. Thorburn’s catalogue, viz., 
Pe-Tsai and Zit-Kwa, both recommended 
by Prof. Bailey of Cornell in Bulletin 67. 
Pe-Tsai, or Chinese cabbage, is an annual 
resembling Giant Cos lettuce aud the 
head is a long loose roll of soft leaves, 
the inner ones blanched and very crisp. 
An average head weighs about three 
pounds. When cooked, it is milder and 
sweeter than cabbage; when served raw, 
with sugar and vinegar, it is excellent. 
The Chinese preserving melon, Zit-Kwa, 
is known as Chinese watermelon. The 
rind resembles that of a hairy musk- 
melrn. The fruit is oblong, solid and 
fleshy—about a foot in length. For pre¬ 
serves or sweet pickles, it is thought to 
be worthy of general cultivation. Mr. 
Page planted last season the Extra 
Early Vermont sweet corn, introduced 
by Frank Ford & Son, of Ravenna, Ohio. 
It smutted the worst of any variety on 
his grounds. We daresay his experience 
is an exception, as others recommend it 
very highly. lie purposes to try Ford’s 
Early instead, this year.

A GREAT EDUCATOR. 
In old rail-fence times, the farmer had little 
use for science, simply the “wedge” to split, 
and the “worm” to support the rails. With 
no knowledge of EXPANSION and CON¬ 
TRACTION, he at first made a failure with 
wire. Inventors tried to help him with 
ratchets, end springs, etc., but it remained 
for farmer l*AOE to discover the scientific 
remedy. Continuous COIEEII SPRINGS 
are always at hand when wanted and give 
us the strongest, most efficient and most 
durable fence made. The farmer using it 
can talk science “like a book.”

NO OTHER 
In the catalogue number, reference 
was made to a plant which the J. T. 
Lovett Company, of Little Silver, N. J., 
call Fink Beauty. The botanical name 
is given as Kosteletzkya Virginica, 
which belongs to the Malva or Mallow 
family, being a close relative to the holly¬ 
hock, althsea, hibiscus, etc. This the 
colored picture of the flower shows. As 
to its history, we fear the Lovett Com¬ 
pany is certainly off the track, and badly 
so. The catalogue says: “Of all the 
beautiful flowers that have come to us 
from Japan, none surpasses this.” Again: 
“ It is with sentiments resembling pride 
that we are enabled to offer this charm¬ 
ing flower, and give it our unqualified 
recommendation as one of the best floral FENCE MACHINES, 
novelties that has ever appeared.” superior
