ST. JOSEPH STRAWBERRY. 
One of a New Race of Ever- 
bearing Strawberries. 
The plants we offer are the 
true variety, h a ving been p ropa - 
gated by ourselves from stock 
plants imported from the origi¬ 
nator in France . 
This is not only the earliest 
sort offered, but is possessed 
of the peculiar characteristic 
of flowering and fruiting freely 
throughout the summer and 
autumn. The fruit is of medi¬ 
um size, glossy red color, very 
firm, juicy, fragrant and of a 
delicious sweet flavor, like the 
small Alpine strawberries. 
The plants are hardy ami vig¬ 
orous. For winter strawber¬ 
ries under glass this variety is 
unexcelled. Price: each, 15 
cts.; doz.,$i.oo; 100, $6.00. 
u You should advertise your Break’s Boston 
Market Ensilage Corn, which I believe to be the 
best silo corn ever raised. I shall exhibit some 
at the fair if the weather is favorable, which I 
raised from your seed. I shall be only too glad 
to recommend it to any one.” 
Yours verv truly,

SUTTON’S BEST-OF-ALL TOMATO. 
We especially recommend this variety for growing under glass. It sets freely and bears abundantly. 
It is of medium size, good form, deep scarlet color, very solid, meaty and freer from seeds than any other 
variety known to us. Pkt., 15 cts., 2 for 25 cts. 
SPECIAL, CROPS FOR FORAGE AND GREEN 
MANURING. 
Until recently the farmers and gardeners of New England have confined 
themselves to a very few varieties for these purposes. Experiments, however, 
have shown that a number of the Lcguminoscz , hitherto grown exclusively in the 
southern states, are adapted to our needs, and as these are not only richer food, 
but larger croppers, we have pleasure in calling special attention to a few of them. 
BEANS, Breck’s Soya. The most suitable variety for cultivation in New Eng¬ 
land, valuable either as a fodder crop, for the silo or for turning under. The 
dry beans when ground make an excellent meal for feeding to milch cows. 
When roasted and ground they form an excellent substitute for coffee. 
Quart, 20 cts.; peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.50. 
— Medium Green Soya. Especially suitable for New England. Quart, 25 cts.; 
peck, $1.25; bushel, #4.00. 
—Velvet Bean ( Dolichos Multiflorus). Used by the farmers of Florida and 
other southern states as a forage plant and also as a fertilizer plant for turn¬ 
ing under. Stock readily eat the vines and leaves, and the beans when ground, with or without the 
pod, are used instead of oats or corn, and sometimes mixed with them. It is planted in rows 4 feet 
apart and 1 foot in the row, 2 or 3 beans in a place, as soon as danger from frost is passed. We do not 
believe the beans will ripen in ordinary seasons in Massachusetts, but the crop for forage or turn¬ 
ing under will prove valuable. Per qt., 25 cts.; bush., $3.50. 
BEGGAR WEED ( Desmodium Molle). Recommended as a forage plant for thin, sandy lands. Sow 
about first of June in drills three feet apart, about five pounds per acre. Per lb., 40 cts.; 5 lbs., $1. 75 - 
COW PEAS ( Vigua Catjany). Very valuable fodder and green crops to plow under. Plant one bushel 
to the acre. See pages 41 and 42 for list of best sorts and prices. 
RAPE, Dwarf Essex. Valuable for sheep pasture or for plowing under. If sown in May it will be ready 
for pasture in July. It may be sown as late as the end of July, and under reasonable conditions will 
produce a large amount of pasture or fodder. Broadcast, 10 pounds to the acre. Per lb., 15 # cts.; 
100 lbs., #10.00. 
BROMUS INERMIS ( Awnless Broom grass). A valuable forage plant for light, dry soils. Suitable 
alike for feeding in the green state, for pasture or for hay. Sow 40 lbs. per acre. Per lb., 25 cts.; 
100 lbs., $20.00.
