OUR BEST TESTIMONIAL _ .
Is the rapid increase of our business, not only in Florida, but every other Southern State. -
UR ORDERS increased during the months of January, February and March, 1893, over four hundred
per cent. Such an increase was unexpected,and we were not prepared forit. Our force worked
day and night, but it was impossible to keep up with the orders, as they poured in thousands upon thousands. It naturally caused a delay in filling orders, which was no less vexatious to us than to our customers. We
have increased our facilities so that we can now handle all orders promptly.
A NEW FEATURE
Is the issue of a Fall Catalogue for Florida alone. We now have so many thousands ‘
of customers in other Southern States that a tull Catalogue is necessary in December. We have decided to issue an abridged Catalogue for the Fall planting in Florida, and issue an Annual Catalogue for our customers in all States. The Annual will be sent
to all Florida customers in December,

HASTINCS’ EXCELSIOR REFUCEE.
The best green podded Bean for the trucker or for home use. his bean is the same as the Improved Round Pod Refugee, except that it is two weeks earlier. During the past three years it has almost entirely taken the place of the Round Pod Refugee. A strong grower and very prolific bearer. Excellent quality. The pods are well rounded out, and stand shipment much better than the Valentine. Packet 10 cents; }4 pint 15 cents; pint 25 cents; quart 4o cents; peck $1.25; bushel $4.75.
Extra Early Red Valentine—Same as the Improved Red Valentine, except ten days earlier. Pods thick and fleshy, and of fine quality.

New Union White VaJentine—Perhaps no greater improvement in dwarf beans has ever been accom- plished than in this variety. It originated in Jeffer- son county, N. Y., with one of our largest bean grow-
ers, and, as its name implies, is a complete union of all good qualities necessary to make a dwarf green-
od bean pertect. Itis much earlier and of adwarfer habit than the old White Valentine, the pods being rounder, smoother, plumper and more meaty, and en- tirely stringless. Among many others it possesses the peculiar and valuable quality of remaining ina tender cooking condition longer than any other green-podded variety. This, together with its Ex- TREME pant ness SEE fit to pick in forty days from time of germination—makes it an exceedingly valuable sort tor spring or fall planting. The beans, when ripe, are pure white, thus enabling the grower to sell them as shelled beans at a profitable figure in case he cannot sell them in the green state. Packet

HASTINGS’ SURE CROP CABBAGE.
Hastings’ Long Island Wakefield (SELECT STRAIN) — Introduced the same season as Sure Crop, and is taking the lead of all pointed and oval cabbages, just as Sure Crop leads all flat varieties. This is a cross between the Selected Early Jersey Wakefield and Early Dwarf Flat Dutch, giving increased size with the same earliness. Of all the Wakefields ever offered, this is the most valuable, either for shipment orhomeuse. If you are growing pointed cabbages you cannot afford to grow any variety other than this, No pointed cabbage has ever met with such favor be- fore. So popular has it become that the principal seedsmen of the North have put on the market the
past two years inferior strains under the name o(¥
“Charleston Wakefield,” “Large Early Wakefield,” etc., hoping to détract from the growing popularity of our Long Island Wakefield. We invite comparison.
Not one word of complaint have we had from it & while hundreds have expressed their satisfaction §
Ready for use in fifty days from transplanting. Larg packet 10 cents; 144 ounce 20 cents; ounce 30 cents; 14 pound $1.00; pound $3.50.

cabbage, and is without a rival. The experience ot all truckers and market gardeners who have tested it goes to corroborate our statement that it is the best and most profitable variety ever offered in the South. It is the earliest and surest large, flat, round cabbage on record, and its quality is excellent, being tender,

crisp and solid. Where it is rightly cared for, scarce- ly a seed will fail to form ahead. Inan experiment it produced heads ready for market in forty days from the time of transplanting. Heads average eight to nine pounds in weight. Large packet 10 cents; % ounce 20 cents; ounce 30 cents; 14 pound $1.00; pound $3.50.
Hastings’ Centennial Flat Duteh—This large strain of the Flat Dutch is the only cabbage that has resisted the repeated and heavy frosts in the northern part of Florida the past season. It is a comparatively late variety. During all the cold weather of the season of 1890-91, it grew vigorously, scarcely a leaf wilting. This is the variety to plant on any lands subject to severe frosts. Grows from twelve to twenty pounds, according to soil and culture, and is a good reliable header. Wecontrol the stock of this variety, and it
can be obtained of us only. Packet 10 cents; 4% ounce 15 cents; ounce 25 cents; 14 pound 85cents; pound $3.00.

a
GENUINE SUREHEAD CABBAGE,
Genuine Surehead—This popular Cabbage is rightly named Surehead, and never fails to make a remarka- bly fine, solid, large head, with few outer leaves, as shown in our illustration. It originated some years since with a practical market gardener, by crossing the Flat Dutch and Drumhead varieties, and has al- ways brought the highest price in market. It 1s a strong, vigorous grower, ripening late for a main crop, and very uniform in size and color. Our supply is grown from the original seed; none better to be had at any price. Packet 5 cents; ounce 25 cents; 14
pound 75 cents; pound $2.50.
Henderson’s Suecession—A large, flat cabbage, in- troduced in 1888. About ten days later than Early Summer, but is nearly double the size. A good strain and a reliable header, but not as compact in growth of head as Sure Crop, Our seed is grown trom origi- nal stock Packet 5 cents; 14 ounce 15 cents; ounce
25 cents; 4 pound 75 cents; pound $2.50.
EMERALD KING.
Hastings’ Emerald King—During the fall of 1891 we distributed several hundred packets of this variety without having tested it ourselves. We were sur- prised at the exceedingly favorable reports received from it. Having but a small amount of seed we offered it in packets only under the name of No. 300. We again have but a limited quantity of seed to offer, but we would advise every cabbage grower in the South to try this superb variety this year. It has been thoroughly tested, and we can recommend it fully. It is an early, flat cabbage that can be grown either for early or late crop. It is of good size, heads aver- aging from seven to eight pounds; grows very uni- formly; is a sure header, and does not burn or blister in the dryest and hottest weather. It is a splendid variety to withstand droughts. It is’of a dark, glossy green color, and is pre-eminently a shipping cabbage for the Southern trucker, holding its color and fresh appearance long after other standard varieties wilt. Packet 10 cents; 4 ounce 20 cents; ounce 35 cents;
V4 pound $1.00; pound $3.50.
Jarly Deep-head—The heads of this cabbage grow to a large size, and, as its name signifies, are deeper through than ordinary stocks of second early cab- bages. It heads up firm, and we find it a valuable variety for the Southern shipper. Packet 5 cents;
ounce 25 cents; 14 pound 75 cents; pound $2.50.
All-Head Early—Introduced in 1891. It is very early, of good size and quality, and a sure header. Itis well named “All-Head.” as it is almost free from loose leaves. It is a week earlier than Henderson’s Early Summer, and a better shipper. Packet 5 cents;
ounce 25 cents; 14 pound 75 cents; pound $2.50.

WHITE, SPSS
CUCUMBER
The Hastings White Spine—The finest early strain of White Spine ever grown. We have in this new strain of White Spine a cucumber that eclipses all others for shipping purposes. The steady increase in the sale of the Emerald Green White Spine shows how readily the planter takes hold of any real improve- ment. The Hzsting White Spine is by far the best of all White Spine strains, as can easily be seen when grown side by side. The fruit is of large size and is immensely productive. This produces no small or imperfect cucumbers, The skin is hard and of a deep green color, which it holds until fully matured. Is crisp and tender, and retains its fresh, plump appear- ance long after being gathered. Itisnearly one week earlier than any other White Spine variety. It is equally valuable for home use. Large trial packet io cents; ounce 15 cents; 144 pound 30 cents; pound $1,00;. ten pounds, not prepaid, $8.00,
CELERY.
CuL_truRE—The seed bed may bein any moist place, Cover the seed lightly in the bed in May, June, Au- gust and September. Transplant when six inches high. Dig a trench a foot deep and put in four or five inches of well-rotted manure; cover that with good soil or a light, sandy loam, well mixed with muck or leaf mold; transplant the plants from the seed bed into rows three feet apart—plants six inches apartin the rows. At the end of five or six weeks begin drawing the soil up to the leaves, packing it firmly. Keep it well banked up if you want tender, well-bleached celery. Water freely with soap-suds, liquid manure or water, being careful not to pour in on the plants.
There are but two varieties that have proved a success for general planting in the South: Mexican Solid and Savannah Market. In certain lo- calities Boston Market, Crawtord’s Half Dwart and Golden Self-Blanch- ing have done well, but we do not ad- vise a general planting except of Mexican Solid and Savannah Mar- ket.
Mexiean Solid—Stocks rounded, crisp and solid; growth large. A most reliable strain. No celery can compare with its ability to withstand heat. When ready for market the plants are plump and do not wilt as soon as most sorts. Its flavor is tully equal to that of celery grown inthe Kalamazoo (Mich.) celery dis- trict, having the rich nutty flavor so desirable in celery. Packet 10 cents; ounce 30 cents; 144 pound $1.00; pound $3.00.
Savannah Market—Introduced by usin 1889. While not as highly flavored as the Mexican Solid, it is bet- ter adapted for growth on poor and light soils, being a much stronger grower. Packet 10 cents; ounce 30 cents; 14 pound $1.00; pound $3.00.
The Pure Stock of Mexican Solid and Savannah Market Celery can be obtained of us only.

the row and rows a foot apart. It requires a rich, moist soil, clean cultivation and plenty of water. This will give quick growth, on which its appearance, flavor and tenderness depend.
Lettuce for northern shipment should be sown dur- ing November and December.
Hastings’ Drumhead White Cabbage—A_ favorite with our customers. Large, solid heads weighing two or three pounds. Leaves outside are dark green, inside almost white. Crisp and tender and always entirely free from bitterness. Has but little tendency to runto seed. The best variety to grow for shipping

VERY IMPORTANT TO ONION GROWERS:
and there is no crop that depends more on the quality and genuineness of the seed.
The Bermuda Onion is one of the most important of Southern vegetable crops, An ever-increasing de-
mand for the true Bermuda seed has led to wholesale fraud in the sale of it by certain reputable (?) New York
and Philadelphia seedsmen, who offer it somewhat as follows:
“Bermuda Onion Seed. We again have pleas-
ure in offering new crop seed of the true Bermuda Onion, the seed of which is often difficult to obtain,” then
offering it at $2.25 and $2.50 per pound. The genuine cannot be sold at that price. The seed offered is either Italian or California grown, and can be bought in the wholesale seed markets at go cents per pound.
It is a well known fact to those in the seed business that it is next to impossible to retain the vitality of onion seed over one year.

ONION SETS.
The cheapest and best way to raise onions is from good seed. There are many, however, who prefer the sets.

If planted in September they form large fully-matured bulbs by We only have 100 bushels this year, but will supply them as long as they last at 20 cents per pint; 35 cents per quart, postpaid; peck $1.50; bushel $5.50, not prepaid.

grown much more economically than from seed. Their keeping qualities are remarkable, having kept perfectly sound for a year, but their most important quality is extreme earliness, being ready for market from three to four weeks ahead of other onion sets. Our grower says: ‘‘They cannot be beaten for earli- ness; they are matured before the weeds and grass can cover them ”
The largest of the sets allowed to grow through summer make an onion of fair size, which divides when ripening in the fall, multiplying liberally for another season. Our illustration is made accurately from nature. Stock very limited. Pint 25 cents; quart 45 cents; 14 bushel $2.00, not prepaid.
PEAS.
PRICES INCLUDE POSTAGE PREPAID BY PINTS AND QUARTS.
Our stock of peas has been carefully grown and will be found to be just as represented.
CuLTURE—For early peas a moderately rich and dry loam is the best; for the later sorts a heavier soilis preferable. heavy growth of vines, hence the ground for the early crop ought to have been manured the previous autumn. If this has not been done, then apply well- rotted manure at the time of sowing. Sow in drills about two or three inches deep. Let there be two rows, ten inches apart, three to four feet between the rows. If for home use sow the peas (in Florida) from four to six inches deep. It will take them longer to. mature, but you will get double the usual crop in this way.

John L.—This is the earliest pea ever offered. It matures earlier than any extra earlier variety,such as First of All, Morning Star, Daniel O’Rourke, etc. Can be planted any month except July and August. Is very hardy and the best for the trucker, being the most prolific of any early variety. This has become very popularin the South; last season our sales of John L. were more than our sales of all other varieties com- bined. One of our Orange Co., Fla., customers wrote us that from 14 bushel of John L. planted by him he got 1814 bushels of green peas at the first picking. We have a large supply now, and can offer it at a reduced price. Packet 10 cents; 4 pint 15 cents; pint 25 cents; quart 4ocents; peck $1.25; bushel $4.50; two bushels $8.00.
Hastings’ Home Delight—The original strain ot this heavy bearer was introduced by us in 1889. Since that time it has been improved by selection until it is now the best and earliest bearer of all the heavy croppers. For home use and near by market it is invaluable. A strong grower, withstanding the effects of frost better than any other. The heaviest bearer we know of, and yet of such dwarf growth as to not require bush or staking, if planted in double rows eightinches apart.

REDFIELD BEAUTY TOMATO.
REDFIELD Beaurtry.—F or five years this splendid variety has been grown by thousands of our custom- €rs in all the Southern States. In every way it has proven superior to any tomato ever offered in the South. Its vigorous growth, heavy and long-bearing qualities, its hardiness, its perfect-shaped fruit and freedom from rotunder the most trying circumstances of growth has made ita favorite wherever planted. Whileitisso well known, we again give the abridged description of last year’s CataJogue: “Of glossy, crimson color, with a slight tinge of purple. Skin thick and tough. Grows in clusters of tour or five fruits, Retains its large size till all are picked. Its shape is almost perfect, and it cannot be excelled for toughness of skin and solidity. For shipping and early market it can be picked green, and it will ripen up nicely, presenting a handsome ap- pearance. The best in every respect for shipping or for home use.’? Price, large packet, 10 cents; one-halt ounce, 15 cents; ounce, 25 cents; one-fourth pound, 85 cents; pound, $3.00.
