The u Early E£©§e ” Potato 
A DEC3DEO SUCCESS. 
THE EARLIEST AND THE BEST. 
In presenting this valuable potato to the notice of the 
Agricultural Public again this Fall, it gives us great pleas¬ 
ure to be able to say that in every respect it has proved a 
decided success, and that the many assurances as to its ex¬ 
cellent qualities made to our customers during the past 
Spring were more than merited. It is from 30 days 
to two weeks earlier than tlic “ Early Goori- 
ricli,” equally as productive, greatly its su¬ 
perior in table quality, anti produces fewer 
small tubers. The price last Spring was S3 per 
pound, or $180 per bushel.

and are so low as to bring them within the reach of all.

seed potatoes in the fall, as danger from frost prevents send¬

The Celebrated Waiter ©rape. 
After twenty-five years experience with the present tender 
and late varieties, we know the Walter, now first offered 
will restore confidence in grape raising in this country. It 
never rots. Its abundant sugar raisins it indoors or on the 
vine. It is a great grower and bearer—the parent vine now 
contains 141 clusters of bloom. It is very compact in cluster 
at tile East; this is an advantage in marketing. We have 
not known the foliage to mildew. It succeeds in dry and 
very wet soils. All grapes excel in the West. It is a'seed¬ 
ling of the Delaware, crossed with the Diana, and better 
than either. It ripens before Hartford Prolific, and is there¬ 
fore the earliest as well as the hardiest and best variety;

Offer for sale a fine stock of this valuable Potato, grown expressly for them from the original stock. 
The experience of the past season fully confirms all that we stated in favor of this variety when we first offered it for 
sale last spring. Well-ripened tubers have been exhibited, grown in eight weeks, in the open ground, yielding from forty 
to ninety fold. Special Prizes have been awarded by the Mass'. Horticultural and New Jersey State Agricultural Societies , 
which, with the many favorable reports received from our Customers in various parts of the country, authorize us in rec¬ 
ommending it as the earliest, most productive, and best flavored variety in cultivation. It is particularly recommended 
for cultimTin the Southern States, as new potatoes of this variety can be sent to the JN'ew York market as early as the more 
common varieties from Bermuda. 
We shall be prepared to execute orders from Sept. 1st to Dec. 1st, at the following prices: 
One Pound, Si. Three Pounds, $3, by mail, post-paid.

THE LIGHTNING APPLE PARER. 
The unparalleled success of the Lightning Apple Parer is entirely beyoiul precedent. 
It received in 1867: 
THE FIRST PREMIUM at the Paris Exposition. 
THE FIRST PREMIUM at the New England Fair. 
THE FIRST PREMIUM at the Fair of the American Institute, New York City. 
THE FIRST PREMIUM and SILVER MEDAL at the New Hampshire State Fair, and 
THE FIRST PREMIUM at every other State, County or Town Fair, wherever exhibited witiiout a single ex¬ 
ception. It also received the unqualified approval of dealers and consumers everywhere, and it is decidedly the simplest, 
quickest and best working Parer ever made. 
The American Agriculturist says of it; 11 We like the Lightning Parer for its simplicity and good work, two important 
requisites in every machine.” 
The New York Tribune says: “ This is a surprisingly new device. A horizontal motion gives all the results attained 
by a circular one, and the fruit is pared with fewer movements than was supposed possible.” 
Sold by tile Hardware and Agricultural Tool Trade throughout the United States and Canadas.
