Early Hose Potato® 
For a description of this new and valuable variety, see 
our advertisement in the Agriculturist for January, page 32. 
The following editorial notice from the same paper con¬ 
firms all that lias been said in its favor. 
From the American Agriculturist of January. 
“ The Early Rose Potato.—This is a 
seedling of the Garnet Chili, but unlike its parent in color 
and quality. Mr. Heft'ron of Utica, its introducer, in¬ 
forms us that it is more productive than the Early Good¬ 
rich, and ten days earlier. It is a very fair and handsome 
potato, and of most excellent quality. We were present 
at the trial of some fifteen varieties by a committee of the 
Penn. Hort. Society, and considered this the best of all. 
Mr. II. has disposed of his stock to B. K. Bliss & Son.” 
In consequence of the limited supply, we can onlj r offer it 
in One Pound Packages, which will be sent by mall, post¬ 
paid, upon receipt of $1.00. Orders will be booked in their 
regular order as received, and potatoes forwarded as soon

P RANG’S AMERICAN CHROMOS are fac 
similes of Oil and Water Color Paintings by the best 
masters. They are artistic copies; and, in most cases, fully 
equal to the originals. An eminent critic says of our Chromos 
of Tait’s Group's:— 
“Mr. Louis Prang, of Boston, of whose efforts to dissemi¬ 
nate through the country faithful copies of our wild flowers, 
butterflies, moths and birds, in such pretty forms, and so 
cheaply, as to drive out of the market all inferior publica¬ 
tions, has just issued a chrome-lithograph in oils of one of 
Mr. A. F. Tail's clever little pictures. The chromo-lithograph 
is a perfect fac simile of the original painting, reproducing 
not onlv the brush-marks, hut the very lines of the canvas, 
in a way that surprises by its ingenuity. Mr. Prang tries 
with all his might to make his imitations absolutely decep¬ 
tive. not lor the purpose of deceiving, but in order to put 
faithful copies, ‘as good as the originals’ within the reach of 
small purses. He brings to the work knowledge, business 
energy, and enthusiasm, and, what is more, a generous spirit 
towards art and artists, which is very pleasant to meet with. 
He lias our cordial thanks for what lie lias already done, and 
our trust that lie will do his best to educate the class lie 
works for in the love of what is true as well as beautiful.”

Ask for them at the Art Stores. They will he sent, free of

are made arid contains articles and letters by several eminent 
Americans,—mailed free. Address L. Prang & Co., Fine Art

New Golden Hayed Japan Lily 
At Greatly Heduced Prices. 
We are happy to inform our friends that we have received 
a large consignment of this magnificent Lily, onlysixty days 
from Japan—in splendid condition, which we can offer at 
greatly reduced prices. This species is reputed to be the 
most beautiful or all known Lilies. Its wonderful propor¬ 
tions and peerless symmetry of bloom, surpass all accounts 
given by travelers—and plants exhibited since its introduc¬ 
tion into this country have more than realized the great 
anticipations of its wonderful features. The individual 
blossoms are from eight to ten inches in diameter, of deli¬ 
cious fragrance, ground color of pearly white, whicli is 
often suffused with a golden tint, and elegantly studded 
over with spots of rich chocolate crimson, with a golden ray 
or stripe running through the center of eacli petal. It is 
perfectly hardy, besides'being admirably adapted for pot 
culture.

Mew Tomatoes. 
Sims Eai-ly Cluster.—A new variety introduced the 
past season from England, which is thus described by the 
raiser. “Very early, of extremely robust habit, requiring 
little support, fruit averaging 5 to 6 inches in circumference, 
round, smooth, of fine flavor, and enormously productive- 
bearing its fruits in grape-like clusters, averaging from four to 
twenty in each cluster. It was raised by Mr. Sims, gardener 
to Mr. Weddenson, Dulerich Common, and is highly recom¬ 
mended by all who have tested its quality.” Per packet, 25 
cents; five packets for $1.00. 
Tile Orangcficlil Dwarf Prolific.— Another new 
English variety introduced the past season, is a sport from 
the old Large Red Tomato, selected and perpetuated by 
Mr. McLaehlan, Orangefield. near Belfast, Ireland, who thus 
describes it: “After four years’ careful trial it lias proved to 
he one of the finest tomatoes we possess. Plant very dwarf, 
hut strong in habit, never shows any signs of being stunted 
or diseased, very productive, and well adapted for culture 
under glass, as it will stand forcing without drawing. This 
variety grown in pots, makes really beautiful, decorative 
plants for the Conservatory.” The following is an extract 
of the report of Trial of Tomatoes grown at Chiswick, 1867. 
“The Orangefield is the earliest of the large, fruitful sorts; 
it is very dwarf and prolific, hearing the fruit within six 
inches of the ground. It is an excellent varietv, and one of 
the best in the collection.” 25 cts. per packet; five for $1.00. 
Cellar Hill Early.— A new American variety, in high 
favor among the Market Gardeners in the vicinity of New 
York; contains tlie qualities of curliness, size, solidity, pro¬ 
ductiveness, in a greater degree than any other variety.
