My business Is to supply, what every farmer of experience 
!e most anxious to get, perfectly reliable Vegetable and 
Flower Seed. With this object in view, besides importing 
many varieties from reliable growers in France, England, 
and Germany. I grow a hundred and fifty kinds of vegetable 
seed on mv lour seed farms, right under my own eye. 
Around all of these I throw the protection of the three 
warrants of my Catalogue. Of new vegetables 1 make a 
specialty, having been the first to introduce the Hubbard 
and Marblehead Squashes, the Marblehead Cabbages, and a 
score of others. My Catalogue, containing numerous fine 
engravings, taken from photographs, sent free to all.

THE BEST TOMATO 
Early, Solid, Enormously Productive, and of 
excellent flavor. Is a cross between the Early Smooth Tied 
and Feejee. Fruit of perfect form, smooth, bright red color, 
very solid, having small seed-cells, and no hard core 
at the center, being of the same delicate texture and 
brilliant color throughout. Ripens with the earliest. Fruit 
often weighing 24 to 26 ounces. Stands the 
drouth better than any other variety. 
By the Potomac Fruit-Growers’ Society it was pronounced 
of superior excellence in size, form, color, solidity, evenness 
of ripening, and flavor. 
L. J. Tuttle, Assistant Treasurer, United States, says: 1 
find the “ Arlington ” lias in a remarkable degree all the re¬ 
quisites of a perfect Tomato. I know nothing that equals it. 
The President's Gardener says; The Arlington Tomato, 
tested under my supervision in the President’s gardens, wa3 
superior to any other kind. 
I). IF. Barrington, Washington, D. C., says: 1 tested it on 
my farm the past season side by side with the “ Trophy.” 
“ General Grant,” and “ Feejee,” and while my other plants 
were older and larger when set, the “ Arlington ” ripened 
fully ten days before any of the others, and lias the further 
peculiarity that the same vines bear an abundance of fruit: 
until the frost kills them, while all other kinds with me havo 
required an extra set of plants for late fruit. Its solidity and 
flavor alone are enough to mark its superiority over any¬ 
thing I have ever seen. 
Many letters, from persons who havo tested it the past 
season, speak in the strongest terms of its superiority over 
all others. *

Farmers and Gardeners, you all need this Cabbage for two 
reasons: 1st, because it is the earliest of all the Drumhead 
varieties; 2d, because every plant on an acre will make a 
large and solid head. Seed of my own growing sent post¬
