GROWER & IMPORTER OF 
CHOICE VEGETABLE SEEDS, 
Msarblehead, Mass. 
As the original introducer of the Hubbard Squash, Mar¬ 
blehead Mammoth Cabbage, and many other choice veget¬ 
ables, I invite tlie attention of the public to my Seed Cata¬ 
logue for 1S68, which will be sent free to all applicants. 
Those who sent to me for seed last year will receive it by 
writing for it. I make new and rare vegetables a specially. 
I have cultivated on my three seed farms this season over 
fifty acres of seeds and seed stock. These farms are over a 
mile from each other, and the fields of two of them are much 
scattered, thus giving me ability to grow many varieties of 
seed of the same kind, while eacli variety is so perfectly 
isolated as to ensure purity. On these three farms I have 
raised over 100 varieties of vegetable seeds the past season, 
including nine varieties of Cabbage Seed, eighteen of Toma¬ 
to, five of Onion, six of Beet, four of Carrot, seven of Cu¬ 
cumber, fifteen of Corn, five of table Peas, nine of bush 
Beans, six of pole Beans, seven of Squash, four of Mangel 
Wurzel, &c„ &c. 
I can import or buy, as chance offers, much of this seed at 
about one half of what it costs me to raise it, but I do so 
that I may know what I send out and lie alile to warrant it 
for purity and freshness. The great risk witli all seed that a 
dealer imports or buys of others is, that the dealer knows 
only what is told him of the careful selection of seed stock— 
and the freshness and purity of the seed, while the person 
who offers it. though oftentimes reliable, may be careless, 
igno.antor dishonest, and if so, you who plant it have to 
suffer, as tlie dealer can only reaffirm wliat is told him ; but 
if tlie seed dealer grows his own seed, then he is able to 
affirm wliat lie himself knows, as to its purity and freshness. 
He selected the stock, planted it, gathered the seed, and pre¬ 
pared it for market, and thus, you who plant it have this in¬ 
valuable guarantee from his own knowledge of it. It is that 
I may be able to give this guarantee that I grow so many 
varieties at double wliat it would cost me to purchase many 
of them, while at the same time tlie public will not find my 
in-ices for standard seeds higher than those of other dealers 
of repute. There are many varieties which I have to import, 
and others that I have to purchase from growers; with these 
I use my best judgment and experience for the security of 
my patrons. 
If the public wish to encourage this enterprise (which I 
doubt not.) and procure their seed directly from the grower 
I invite a continuation and fair increase of the patronage 
that they have heretofore so liberally bestowed.

CABBAGE SEED, 
IMPROVED BRUNSWICK. 
Tlie Earliest, Shortest Stemmed, and very 
best Drumhead yet offered. The Boston Market 
Gardeners all use it in preference to any other, and to show 
how highly it is esteemed in this market, we will state that 
it sold readily at $5.00 per ounce the past season, and all 
were well satisfied that it is tlie best variety for either early 
or late planting; every plant produces a good head, when 
fully grown, weighing from 20 to30 lbs., and requiring only 
ordinary cultivation: the quality is excellent. Mr. John 
Stone, of Marblehead, Mass.', the originator of the well-known 
Stone Mason Drumhead, allows us to state that he considers 
it far superior to any Drumhead he has ever seen ; he has 
raised good sized heads the past season in 85 days from plant¬ 
ing the seed. We warrant our stock the purest in the coun- 
trv. For sale in 25 or 50 cent packages. 
we have also to offer a small quantity of th e. Early Boston 
Market Tomato Seed , the best variety for market or family 
use, price 10 cents per package. By enclosing the amount 
of your order, we will forward the seed free by mail; send 
early, as our stock is limited. Send for Circulars, and Cata¬
