[Mat, 
Lane's Improved 
IMPERIAL 
SUGAR BEET. 
This superb variety is the 
result of a careful selection 
for several years past of the 
French Imperial Sugar Beer. 
After a satisfactory trial, 
we can recommend it with 
the greatest confidence, as 
being hardier, mere produc¬ 
tive, and containing a greater 
percentage of sugar than the 
ordinary variety, and much 
better adapted for cultiva¬ 
tion in this country, either for 
stock or the manufacture of 
sugar. We hear the most 
favorable reports from those 
who have tested it in various 
sections of the country, all of 
whom are satislied of its 
superiority. It is the best 
beet raised for feeding cows 
or young stock. From thirty 
to forty tons raised to the 
acre, at a cost of from five to 
eigiit cents per bushel. The 
cheapness with which they 
can be raised, the large I 
amount of healthy, nutritious 
food raised to the acre, and 
its great value as food for 
cattle, sheep, and swine, 
make this the most profit¬ 
able root to raise. 
Four pounds is the amount 
usually required for one acre. 
Price, 15 cents per ounce; 50 cents lour ounces; $1.50 lb.

Bliss’s Improved Long Orange Carrot. 
This superior variety is the result of a careful selection, 
for successive years, of the best-formed, largest, and deep¬ 
est-colored roots of tlie Imported Long Orange Carrot, by 
which it lias attained a perfection hitherto unknown in this 
useful vegetable, being larger, better flavored, and of a 
deeper orange color, and more sure to produce a crop. But¬ 
ter-makers will And this variety very useful in giving to 
their butter a rich, deep yellow color. We unhesitatingly 
pronounce it the best variety in the market, and one winch 
will not fail to give satisfaction to the purchaser. One oz., 
15c.; four ounces, 50c.; one lb., $1.50, by mail, post-paid.
