GIANT YELLOW INTERMEDIATE MANGOLD. 
This will be found to be an improve¬ 
ment on the common intermediate, 
being considerably larger in size. It 
grows more than half above ground, 
and is of a russet-yellow color. Rather 
elongated and a vigorous grower, it 
has a thick neck, large leaves with 
green stems, and very smooth, fine 
skin. Flesh, white, firm, and sweet, 
much liked by cdttle. In short, an 
excellent root, easily lifted from the 
ground, producing enormous crops, 
and an excellent keeper. We find in 
^ them a little irregularity in shape, 
^||but the engraving gives the general 
V type. Price, per lb., postpaid, 58 
cts.; per £ lb., 18 cts.; per oz., 10 
cts.; per pkg., 5 cts. 
EDMANDS’ BLOOD TURNIP. 
This is a very good strain of 
late turnip beet, with flesh of an 
extra dark color , which makes it 
very popular with market gar¬ 
deners. We find it to be medium 
early. Our customers will find 
it an excellent variety for gen¬ 
eral crop where a d^rk-colored 
beet is wanted. By the by, what 
a notion we have that a dark- 
colored beet must be the sweet¬ 
est ! There is no beet sweeter 
than the yellow turnip, nor, do 
we think, handsomer when on 
the table. Price, per lb., post¬ 
paid, 68 cts.; per i lb., 23 cts.; 
per oz., 10 cts.; per pkg., 5 cts. 
WE AIM TO SELL BUT ONE QUALITY OF SEEDS, 
AND THAT THE BEST 
Wendell D. Wiltsie, W. 
Oswego, N. Y., writes: “Many 
years ago I used your seeds 
and was well satisfied, but, 
like the Prodigal, I wandered 
away, and now in penitence 
I return. You need not kill 
the fatted calf, however.” 
A. Anderson, Painesville, 
Ohio, writes: “Faust’s New 
Crimson Beet, I got of you 
last season, proves the earliest 
of all the five varieties I 
planted.” 
Fred Bosch, Beatrice, Neb., 
writes: “Your All-Seasons 
Cabbage is the king in Gage 
County; I have taken first 
premium with it for the last 
four years.” 
J. B. & S. R. McKay, Stell- 
arton, N. S., writes: “Your 
Cabbage and Cauliflower seed 
have given us the best satis¬ 
faction of any we have ever 
bought.” 
Geo. H. King, Charlotte¬ 
town, P. E. I., writes: “In 
connection with your seeds I 
have never lost a prize with 
your Mitchell’s Carrot or Hol¬ 
low Crown Parsnip.” 
This new strain of early turnip beet has a great reputation 
in the Philadelphia market, it being a great favorite with the 
most eminent market gardeners. We find that it is early, of a 
fine symmetrical form, and that it lias a remarkably small, 
short top. The flesh is very prettily ringed in color, and its 
quality is tender and sweet. This beet, as an early kind, will 
prove popular with market gardeners. “ The Lentz Hybrid 
Beets were of superior quality.”—Stephen Clemons, Hampton, 
Ya. Price, per lb., postpaid, 68 cts.; per i lb., 23 cts.; per 
oz., 10 cts. ; per pkg., 5 cts. 
We are much pleased as well as surprised with this new 
beet, pleased with its rich crimson color, and surprised to find 
that it was the earliest beet in our experimental plot, 
WHICH INCLUDED SUCH VARIETIES AS EGYPTIAN AND ECLIPSE ! 
It is of excellent quality, and its deep blood-red color makes it 
very attractive to the eye. It is doubtless the sweetest of all 
beets, and a first-class early for every one, but of especial 
value to market gardeners. This has been the experience of 
ourselves and neighbors. It is sometimes catalogued as the 
Mitchell’s beet. Price, per lb., postpaid, 68 cts.; per £ lb., 23 
cts.; per oz., 10 cts.; per pkg., 5 cts. 
OIAMOl^O WIKTBR CABBAGE. 
Said to be a cross between the Short Stem Drumhead and 
that remarkably hard-headed sort, the Danish Round Winter, 
making a large-sized, very hard-headed variety, not liable to 
crack open, growing on a short stump, and very reliable for 
heading. Price, per lb., postpaid, $3.00; per oz., 30 cts.; per 
pkg., 10 cts. 
PREMIUM FLAP DUTCH CABBAGE. 
This variety is so generally well known in every cabbage¬ 
growing district of the United States that an introduction 0 is 
not necessary. There are several different strains of this cab¬ 
bage. We have endeavored by years of careful selection of 
stock to make our own very choice; a large increase in sales, 
especially in the South, is the best proof That it is so. Very 
reliable for heading. Price, per lb., postpaid, $2.00; per i lb., 
58 cts. ; ner oz., 20 cts. ; per pkg., 5 cts. 
HENDERSON’S SUCCESSION CABBAGE. 
We find this to be a valuable variety. It has been thoroughly 
well-bred, and has uniformly short stumps ; about every one 
of them supporting well-shaped, firm, solid heads, as like each 
othei as twins. Mature about ten daj r s later than Earlv Summer. 
Price, per lb., postpaid, $3.00; per oz., 30 cts.; per pkg., 10 cts. 
Marblehead mammoth cabbage. 
This is, without doubt, the largest variety of the cabbage 
family in the world. We have had heads, when stripped of all 
waste leaves, that could not be got into a two-bushel basket, 
having a diameter two inches greater. Our patrons generally 
succeed in growing the Mammoth to the weight of thirty and 
forty pounds, and in some instances over ninety pounds. ' It is 
the best of all varieties to raise for winter feed for poultry Price 
per lb., postpaid, $2.00; per i lb.. 58 cts.; per oz., 25 cts.; 
per pkg., 10 cts. .
