place in the es¬ 
teem of our mar¬ 
ket gardeners, by 
whom it is pro¬ 
nounced an un¬ 
equalled variety 
for market purposes. It is a few days later than Cory, but of so much better quality that it is grown by many to 
the exclusion of all others. Its qualities are large size, earliness, pearly whiteness and delicious flavor. It is unsur¬ 
passed as a main crop variety for the home garden ; we especially recommend it to those who desire both quality

care has been taken to select and improve the type. We

BRECK’S JAPANESE MILLET. 
We are indebted to Japan for this valuable addition to our forage 
plants. It is superior in every way to Hungarian or the varieties cf 
millet commonly grown in the United States and has already super¬ 
seded them in many sections. The seed of this millet constitutes an 
excellent grain for hens, and when ground is a wholesome, nutritious, 
and economical food for cattle. The plants attain an average height 
of six feet, are short-jointed, and at every joint there is put forth an 
immense number of long, thick, fleshy leaves that increase its value as a 
cattle food. The heads average a foot in length and over six inches in diameter. Pk., 50 cts.; bush., $1.50. Subject 
to special offer No. 3 only.
