BRKCK’S SEEDS PRODUCE PRIZE CROPS. 
BRECK’S DANVERS YELLOW GLOBE ONION. 
The name Danvers’ Yellow Globe is now applied to so 
many different strains of onions that purchasers of it are 
frequently disappointed in crop produced. 'l'his onion 
originated in the town of Danvers, Mass, and it is to 
Essex county, Mass, that we must yet turn for the most 
desirable and true type. Our strain has been brought to 
the highest state of excellence by continued selection and 
care in growing and we recommend it as being superior to 
all others. Pkt., 05 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; lb., $2.00. 
BRECK’S EXCELSIOR PEA. 
'Phis is the favorite extra early pea with the leading 
growers for Boston market and has been the first “native ” 
offered in Boston for a number of years. The peas are of 
medium size, slightly wrinkled and of fine flavor. The 
vines attain a height of from two and a half to three feet and 
produce abundantly. Pkt., 10 cts.; qt., 30 cts.; pk , $1.25. 
“ When filling my order for flower seeds, sent 
yesterday•, please add a quart of IIreek's New JAfe 
Peas. I grew a few last year and never had my 
sight and taste more gratified."

BRECK’S NEW LIFE PEA. 
BRECK’S CHANCE POTATO. 
This potato is a thoroughbred and 
bred for quality but we find by the 
report of the Maine State Agricul¬ 
tural college that it is also very pro¬ 
ductive. In the trials made at that 
station last season the Chance was 
grown side by side with three other 
leading kinds (the station has not 
given us the names of these sorts) 
and produced a much heavier crop 
than either of them ; from ico pieces 
planted there were harvested 134 
pounds of Chance, while the others produced 75, 93 and 
114 pounds respectively. 
The vines are of vigorous growth. The tubers are ready 
for table as soon as those of Pearl of Savoy (which was 
originated by us some ten years ago, and is to-day perhaps 
the most popular early kind grown). Under ordinary culti¬ 
vation the crop is abundant, and as a keeper they are unsur¬ 
passed, but the greatest merit of the variety is Quality, in 
this particular they are much superior to all other kinds. 
Quality is the leading feature, and if you are a potato grower you must know that quality, and in fact everything 
else desirable, in most potatoes of recent introduction, have had to take second place, if only earlir.ess could be 
obtained Pkt, 50 cts.; bushel. $1.50; barrel, #3.50. } 
Potatoes are subject to special offer No. 3, only. 
The Rural New Yorker says: — 
“The most productive pea, and all 
things considered the most valuable 
pea for home or for market of its 
season, that we have ever tried. 
That's saying a good deal, for we have 
tried nearly every pea , old and new, 
from year to year for twenty years.” 
The New England Farmer says : — Breck’s New Life is a strong, stocky grower. “ The 
pods are as large as the Stratagem and are produced abundantly. Both pods and vines 
retain their bright green color for a long time.” Pkt., 10 cts.; qt., 30 cts.; pk., $2. 00. 
“ Yours were the best seeds we ever bought 
from any firm, and you shall have our order 
next year as well as orders from many other 
parties in this neighborhood."
