Rhode Island Crease Back. 
We have recived, under various 
names, a great many samples of im¬ 
pure stocks of this variety, the ma¬ 
jority coming from Connecticut and 
Indiana; the growers all uniting in 
pronouncing it the most desirable sort 
for private gardens. After endeavor¬ 
ing, for years, to secure a true and 
pure stock of this valuable kind, we 
are first able to offer it this season. 
The vines are of good size, and vigor¬ 
ous climbers; they commence to bear 
very early, and continue to bear longer 
than any variety we know. 
With us single plantings, under 
favorable conditions, have furnished 
pickings of both snap and green 
shelled beans for a period of from 30 
to 40 days. They are of good quality 
as snaps and dry beans, and equal to 
London Horticultural as green shelled 
beans. 
Rhode Island Crease Back, Per packet, 25 cents; 5 packets Kentucky Wonder. 
Two Green and Five Ripe Pods. for $1.00. 
Kentucky 'Wonder. 
Has been grown for some time in the South with the most satisfactory results; succeeds equally 
well in the North. For shell beans we would not recommend it, but as a snap it is a u wonder.'* 
It is enormously productive, and if the young pods are picked off, it will produce an abundance 
of crisp tender pods throughout the hottest season. The pods are long, often ten to twelve inches 
in length, and of the best quality. Per packet, 25 cents; or 5 packets for $1.00. 
•CABBAGE. 
— 
Early Jersey Wakefield. 
This well known and deservedly popular Cabbage is without doubt the most profitable early 
variety , being a sure header, producing compact solid heads of the finest quality ; and maturing 
in season to command the highest prices. Our strain, for earliness, careful selection, and purity, 
is not surpassed by any in existence, and is not to be confounded with the many spurious 
stocks offered. Per packet, 5 cents ; oz., 35 cents ; 2 oz., 60 cents ; % lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50. 
Very Karly Etampes. 
The most critical and trying tests of another year have only enhanced our good opinion of 
this variety. It ranks with the first in regard to earliness, being but little if any lr than the 
Early Jersey Wakefield. It forms small, compact heads of superior quality. Our stock is very 
choice. Per packet, 5 cents; oz., 20 cents; 2 oz., 35 cents; lb., 60 cents; lb., $2.00. 
Guerande, or Ox Heart. 
All stock raisers appreciate the value of Carrots, but comparatively few have used them 
extensively, the difficulty and expense of harvesting them being a great objection. 
We offer this carrot to supply the great demand for a carrot of productive habit, large size, 
and one that is, by reason of its shape easily dug. The flesh is fine grained and of a rich orange 
color. It has little or no core. 1 his variety is destined to come into very general use. 
Per packet, 5 cents; oz., 20 cents; 2 oz., 35 cents; % lb., 60 cents; lb., $2 00. *
