W EW FRAGRANT PERPETUAL JAPANESE 
Honeysuckle.—This charming, new, climbing Honey¬ 
suckle was brought from Japan some years since by my 
friend Dr. Hall, a distinguished amateur, who, of ten in com¬ 
pany with his guest Mr. Robert Fortune, delighted in collect¬ 
ing the rare and curious plants of that country. This plant 
is in the way of L. brachypoda and L. flexuosa, but is superi¬ 
or to all other Honeysuckles on account of its abundant and 
constant bloom, which continues without intermission from 
early summer until severe cold weather. Add to this its 
delicious fragrance, its rapid growth, and entire hardiness, 
and my correspondents will see that here is a plant of great 
value, worthy of the most extensive cultivation. Excellent 
for forcing. 50 cts. each, $5 per doz., $ 10 per 100.—I would 
add that Thuyopsis dolobrata, T. dolobrata variegata, and 
Retivorposa aurea, three Conifers prized above all others by 
the Japanese, were sent me by Dr. Hall from Japan in 1861, 
by the II. S. Steamer Niagara,and that,having stood six very 
severe winters without any protection whatever, I am able 
to announce that these beautiful evergreens are entirely 
hardy in this country. I have a line stock for spring deliv¬ 
ery, (now first offered,) with a number of entirely new Japan¬ 
ese and other shrubs, herbaceous plants, etc. Fruit and 
ornamental trees, shrubs, evergreens, hedge plants, roses, 
etc., in great variety. Priced Descriptive Catalogues to any 
address. Wholesale Lists to the trade. Agents wanted.

Twenty-three Varieties of Tomatoes l 
I can supply Farmers and Gardeners who wish to get their 
Tomato seed directly from the grower, with eighteen varie¬ 
ties which I have grown (each perfectly isolated,) on my 
three seed farms the past season. I do not market my early 
Tomatoes, but begin to save seed from the very first that 
ripen, a practice which (as experienced gardeners know,) 
tends to improve each variety.

post-paid, on receipt of price. Nearly all of these varieties

The Mew Cabbage! 
Fottler’s Improved Brunswick Cabbage is a 
great acquisition, it being earlier and larger sized than any 
other hard heading drumhead variety yet ottered to the 
public. The Boston Market Gardeners have adopted it, 
buying up all the seed they could find last season, at $3.00 
per ounce. It is about ten days earlier than my Stone Ma¬ 
son, and the head attains a diameter of from 12 to 18 inches. 
It is remarkably short stemmed, very reliable for heading, 
and thrives finely under ordinary cabbage cultivation. 
Give them a fair chance and hardly a plant to an acre will 
fail to mature a fine head. I have grown it for two years 
and fully tested it. 
My seed is from the stock of Mr. Fottler, the original 
grower, and is warranted pure. Price, sent post-paid to any 
address, 25 cents per package, or five packages for $1.00. 
For sale by the package only this season ; next year I shall 
have it for sale by the pound, as I have laid in a fine lot of 
heads, and shall grow it largely. Send for Seed Catalogue. 
I grow over 100 varieties of garden seeds and import many 
sorts from France and England.

and of the highest standard for purity. 2 cl. —I will warrant 
all money sent to my address to reach me, and 3d—I will 
warrant all seed ordered to reach my customers. I send out 
these warrants to give the public confidence in this new 
development of the seed trade through the mails. 
I am aware that in taking these responsibilities I shall 
incur some losses, for sometimes packages burst from care¬ 
less handling of P. O. Clerks and other causes, sometimes 
they are lost, sometimes stolen, or eaten into by mice, but if 
the public will stand by me by giving me a fair share of their 
patronage, I will stand by them and take these risks on my¬ 
self. Catalogue of over 200 varieties of vegetable seeds (over 
100 of which are of my own growing) sent gratis to any 
address. JAMES J. H. GREGORY, Marblehead, Mass. 
A Sixty Found Cabbage!! 
As the original introducer of the Marblehead Mammoth 
Cabbage , I offer the public seed grown by myself from the 
choicest specimens of the purest stock. 
This Cabbage has been grown in nearly every State in the 
Union, weighing lrom 25 to 60 lbs. For the past few years it 
has been the standard wonder at almost every Agricultural 
fair in the United States and Canadas. The public may rely 
upon my continued care to keep the seed pure from all ad¬ 
mixtures and fully up to its previous high standard. Each 
package has a fine engraving of this remarkable Cabbage— 
with very full directions for culture on it. Sent post-paid 
to any address for 25 cts. per package, five packages for $1; 
or 100 packages for $17.00.
