New, Hare, or Choice Seeds. 
I send out to tJie Public my Annual List 
of New, Bare, and Choice Vegetables. 
Having b :en the original Introducer of the 
Hubbard Squash, Marblehead Mammoth 
Bruinhcad Cabbage, Marblehead Mam¬ 
moth Sweet Corn, and many other new 
Vegetables, I am ever ready to introduce 
to the Public every new vegetable product 
that comes to my notice, that I think 
worthy of their attention, 
Fottler’s Improved Brunswick Cabbage. — (The 
earliest of all liard-lieading Drumheads , grolos heads 12 to 
18 inches in diameter , in 90 days; a new cabbage very pop¬ 
ular with marketmen) 
Marblehead Mammoth Cabbage.-( The largest cabbage 
in the world, has been grown to weigh from 25 'to <50 lbs. in 
almost every State in the Union. See my Circular. 'Seed, 
pure; 1 was the original introducer.) 
Stone Mason Cabbage. — {Large, hard-heading, short 
slump. About every plant on an acre trill set a fine head; 
it is a harder and sweeter cabbage than Flat Dutch. In 
half-ounce packages) 
Cannon Ball Cabbage.— {This matures with the Wjn- 
nigstadt, with heads about as round and hard as a cannon 
ball.)

heading.) 
Carter’s New, Dwarf, Mammoth Cauliflower.—

forcing or for general use.)

length , coiled , and very like a snake with his head raised.) 
Norblton Giant Cucumber. —(“ The finest, longest, and 
most prolific cucumber cultivated"—a great English Seed

dollars a pound for the seed ! 1 send ten iced ip each pack¬ 
age.) Lawton’s Prolific Long-podded Pea. — (The 
longest podded of all peas, “ some.'pods having from ten to

riety.) Perennial Lettuce.— (Distinct from edi other va¬ 
rieties ; leaves used as salad, or served as spinach.) Cedar

ductiveness.solidity and flavor." My seed came directly from 
the originator. Package of either of the above varieties sent 
to any address with full directions for cultivation, and war¬ 
ranted to reach the purchaser, at 25 cents each.)

WEW HARDY FORGET-ME-NOT “ EMPRESS 
i-1 ELIZABETH.'”-*-I have the pleasure of offering for the 
first time in this country this new and magnificent hybrid, 
produced at Sehoenborn, in Prussia, by crossing M. Azorica 
with the old German Forget-me not. Of the richest azure 
blue conceivable, it has no rival ill color in any other plant. 
Its chief merit, however, is in its constant bloom, which 
continues from early May until frost. It is invaluable for 
forcing, and, grown in frames like violets, it blooms all win¬ 
ter. This is one of the most desirable plants ever offered.

SQUASHES AND ONIONS. 
I have written two very thorough works, one on the culti¬ 
vation of each of these vegetables, in which the directions 
given for every step of the process for selecting soil, prepar¬ 
ing, manuring, planting, protecting from insects, weeding, 
gathering, ripening, storing and marketing the crop, are so 
very minute, that the new beginner can be equally success¬ 
ful with experienced growers. Eacli work is fully illustrat¬ 
ed. Sent to any address, and warranted to reach the pur¬ 
chaser, at 30 cents each. If on reading them any person 
thinks he has not got his money's worth, / tcill refund it 
gratis. Catalogues ot' choice vegetable seed, over one hun¬ 
dred varieties of which I myself grew, sent free to all—the
