* These Impart a strong, spicy taste and odor, and are 
used In various culinary operations. Those marked with 
an ♦ are perennials, and when once obtained may be pre¬ 
served for years. Of such sow the seeds very carefully 
in seed beds about the middle of Spring and in the ensu¬ 
ing Autumn or Spring transplant them to convenient situ¬ 
ations. The others are annuals, or such as come to per¬ 
fection the first year and die. The seeds of these may be 
sown carefully in shallow drills, middle of Spring, and 
when the plants are up a few inches, then thin them to 
proper distances. To preserve for use, dry thoroughly, 
rub the foliage almost to powder, and put in Jars or bot- 
.• ties and cork tightly. 
A Wild Flower Garden. 
Any one who has planted and cultivated flowers in neatly laid out beds, or care¬ 
fully planned ribbon-borders, Is aware of the amount of labor and constant atten¬ 
tion necessary to produce the desired effect. To those who cannot give this care, 
the “ Wild Garden presents a substitute, which, for its unusual and varied effects, 
for cheapness, and the small amount of labor necessary for its construction, has no 
rival. “ Wild Garden Seeds are a mixture of over one hundred varieties of hardy 
flower seeds, and can be offered at a much less price than when sold in separate 
packets. No one who has not seen such a bed can form an idea of its possibilities, 
the different seasons of bloom insuring something new almost every day. 
They are particularly adapted for sowing alongside of fences and on untidy, 
bare spots of ground, which are so frequently found about almost every place in the 
country, which, if properly cared for and kept free from weeds, will produce more 
flowers during a season than are found in many gardens. As there are many bien¬ 
nial and perennial plants among them, they will last for years with but little care. 
Many of the most showy varieties can be transplanted to vacant spots in the flower 
border and add much to its attractiveness. 
They m^ be sown broadcast or in drills. If sown In drills, each packet will be 
sufflcient to sow a bed ten feet square. The drills should be one foot apart. If sown 
broadcast, eight feet square. 
Packet, 10 cents; three for 26 cents.

MY NEW DEPARTUHE. 
$1b 50 for $lBOOa 
For some time past the products, manufactures, and in fact, all the articles of 
commerce of our country, have been lowering in price, this being brought about 
by natural causes and the enterprise and Industry of the people. The cost of pro¬ 
ducing seed has also been very much lessened by experience and competition, and 
necessarily I have put my prices at very much lower figures than In former years, 
and have increased the quantity of Seed our packets contain, and thus have fully 
kept up with the times In the reduction of prices. However, to meet the demands of 
the masses who are searching where to purchase the cheapest. I have concluded 
to make a further reduction In the price of Seeds In Packets, and will supply all 
who have a Farm or Garden to plant at a great bargain, giving all a cash benefit 
Immediately by my greatly reduced prices. 
I have determined to sell you one dollar and fifty cents’ worth of Seed for one 
dollar, and offer further reductions on larger orders, for which please see my Club 
Rates. This, you perceive. Is a genuine reduction of one-third, a point worth con¬ 
sidering before ordering elsewhere. For further liberal Club Ratos on Seeds, refer to 
Flower and Vegetable departments.
