‘The Aspinwall Potato Planter works with almost human ingenuity. It is as indispens¬ 
able to the large potato grower as the reaper is to the wheat farmer. IT IS A SUCCESS. 
We can gladly recommend it as a first-class implement. Potato growing in the future pro¬ 
mises to be conducted as wheat growing now is—on a large scale. Those who refuse to avail 
themselves of improved implements will fall behind .”— Rural New-Yorker, April 2, 1887.

The MOON Flower. 
The engraving shows this most beautiful of all 
climbing plants. It grows anywhere where there aro 
old trees, walls or strings to cling to —growing 
50 feet in one season, blooming continuously from 
June to November, its MOON-LIKE flowers being 
of the purest white, 15 inches in circumference. The 
Moon flower blooms only at night or on dull days ; it 
gives out a delicious odor, similar to the English 
Hawthorn. Although the Moon flower should not be 
set out until about the time tomatoes can be set out, 
or corn planted, yet it is of the simplest culture and 
can bo grown easily in flower-pots or boxes in an or¬ 
dinary sitting-room until the time of setting out. We 
sold nearly one hundred thousand plants of this beauti¬ 
ful flower last year, and had thousands of letters at¬ 
testing the pleasure it gave to the purchasers. Price, 
extra strong plants (with pamphlet of instructions 
for growing,) 30c. each; 4 for $1.00, '.) for $‘>.00, or 
12 for $2.5(1, free by Mail ; or $8.00 per 100 by Express, 
buyer to pay charges. All purchasers of the Moon 
flower, will bo sent in addition our Cutiilotmo of
