The undersigned keeps a supply of Early Amber 
and Early Orange cane seed, the product Of dith-refit 
latitudes; hence adapted to various climates. The 
Orange is especially recommended for RTlgar lu.lbilig 
and for districts aubject to Lot sun in July an I An- 
gust.. It has received the indorsement of the \ii*si8- 
sippi Valley Cane Growers’ Association at ib; late 
meeting. 
Prices of seed at St. Louis: Eurly Amber, by until, 3 
pounds, $1; by express or freight per pound, luc.; 
large lots, lOo. Usual discounts to the trade. 
Early Orange, by mail, i'/i pounds, $1; by ex. ;ccs or 
freight, per pound 20c.; large lots. 15c. 
Kansas Orange, lor northern culture, prices same as 
Early Orange. 
No orders lilted for less than $1. Remit by draft 
money order or registered letter. 
Oaution must l>e taken ui selecting Orange seed, as 
when cleaned, none but an expert can detect it from 
some other variety, and the desire to speculate may 
induce some to mislead by selling other seed as Or¬ 
ange. It was lor this reason that 1 had placed this 
seed in reliable hands last season for cultivation, in 
order to secure reliably pure seed for my trade.
