SEEDS THAT ARE WORTH GROWING. 
A REAL LUXURY. 
His 
M 
Extra Early. Very Productive. Re¬ 
quires no Bushing. Exquisite Flavor. 
Dr. Thurber, Editor of American Agriculturist, says: 
“Messrs. B. K. Bliss & Sons deserve the congratulation of 
the whole gardening community for having introduced so 
excellent a variety of this popular vegetable.” 
From Rev. Henry Ward Beecber.— “ Your Peas 
are wonderful, none others so good. I do not mean to 
plant another year any others, early or late. They beat the 
Alpha in earlines3 and out of sight in flavor.” 
From Hon. Marshall P. Wilder, Pres. American 
Pomologtcal Society, Ex-Pres. U. S. Agricultural Society — 
“ My American Wonder is a iconder, equal in sweetness 
and richness to the Champion of England, which is all 
that could be desired.” 
So says in substance every one who has tested it. We 
have yet to hear the first complaint from any one who has 
planted the genuine variety obtained from us. 
CAUTION.— As there is another Pea in the market 
called “ American Wonder,” be sure and call for “ Bliss’ 
American Wonder,” and receive no other.

NEW EARLY TOBACCO—GENERAL, GRANT. 
The earliest Tobacco in cultivation, particularly adapted 
for growing in the Northern States. It has produced leaves 
44 inches in length, of proportionate breadth, and matured 
its crop perfectly, as far north as Duluth, Minnesota. The 
leaf has extremely small veins, is of the finest possible tex¬ 
ture, and very elastic. One of the best judges of Tobacco 
in New York City pronounces it an exceedingly promising 
variety, and an old Connecticut Valley grower says it is the 
choicest as well as the earliest sort he has seen. Directions 
for cultivating and curing sent witli each packet. Price, 
25 cents per packet; 75 cents per ounce.

straw is so strong and firm that it holds up well, without lodging, the tall,

acre, according to the condition and state of fertility of the land.
