oN ‘ - Has the aaah been so ‘enormous fies our. i Calalete as it has t Ri eve ¢ Beto re year. We thought our first edition of one hundred thousand wi : i
be enough to supply our customers, but after we commenced to : vertise our VINELESS “Gold Coin” Prolifie SWEET POTATOES, we began to receive daily thousands of ingn ies, which more firmly convinces us that it is going to have the largest sale of any novelty ever offered. ome one must see the great advantage they have over the old vine sorts. No vines to bother, that’s what will ple you. They are indeed a public benefactor—good in- every way. First in earliness, first in yield, first quality, first in cheapness of production, and their general introduction will be a living monument for onr enterprise and push in busi- | ness in giving to the world the greatest vegetable ever produced. Millions can be saved in growing sweet potatoe: without vines. We own the entire stock, and therefore urge early orders. Being compelled to issue a supplemen ary edition of one hundred thousand Catalogues on such short notice on account of tle lateness of the season, we had to reduce the size, and could not illustrate many of the vegetables, but as they are so well known to most of you, we hardly think this necessary, and have made the price as you will notice the lowest of any reliable seed house in Amer- __ ica. Prices being so low and having so many good things in our catalogue we expect an order from every person who ne receives it. Honor comes to those only who labor.
We have been striving to offer something to our custom Ay = that would be far in advance of anything ever produced.” ~ Fo i“ Yea “S This year our efforts have been fully rewarded, and we have i, more money-makers for the farmer and gardener listed in ‘our 4 1896 Catalogue than was ever offered by any seedsmen in the United States. Our Vineless Yellow Prolific Sweet Po- | . tatoes are the greatest production of the age and we offer them at a price that every one can give them a trial the = first year, whether rich or poor. 500 bushels per acre; think of it. Our “ Ben-Hur” Potato, “American Queen” Watermelon and “Acme” Cabbage are also things that must not be overlooked. We have made prices on our entire list to conform with the current prices of the times on all farm products, and the gnality of our seeds are unsurpassed. We have uo space to devote to running down other seed houses. And seedsmen who do such — things you can always depend on their being the under dog in the fight. It is not our disposition to build up our business by tearing down some one else’s. Besides our immense catalogue business we have the largest retail Market Gardeners’ trade of any Seed House in America, and it has been built up by employing only honest bus “ness methods, which is evidenced by the fact that customers who know us best are our warmest friends. The permed nent success of any business depends on the merits of the goods sold and the honorable treatment of the purchaser, And to our customers, both new and old, we can not put it stronger than to say that * Our snecess already achieved — can only be maintained by the methods that obtained it,” which we further promise, and solicit your lib- er al or ders for 1896. ta

(022 CASH PRIZES
[TVs of Farmers and Gardeners in this country are now puzzling their brain to know how to better their
condition, and we feel that we are in position to help them. You must not only have your ground in such shape as to bring out all its producing powers, but you must grow products that bring the most money, make the largest yields, and can be cultivated and harvested for the least expense; also something that not only brings quantity, but possesses a rich quality. Then you will begin to notice improvement. We do not mean to . say that what you have been doing is wrong, but times are changing. Old methods will not do. You must have a progressive spirit to successfully meet the demands of the times. We are always on the lookout for something that
will benefit the agricultural classes. This year our labors have been more fruitful than ever before. Our list of
novelties can not help interesting you.
We believe, in offering ih the public our Vineless GOLD COIN PROLIFIC Sweet Potato, that we are offering something that will be the greatest money maker and labor saver of any vegetable ever introduced, making no excep- tion. It stands without a blemish, perfect in all respects—perfect in growth, in vigor, in yield and quality—and is certainly the greatest Sweet Potato on earth. Absolutely no vines to bother. Why, just think of it! Grow- ing Sweet Potatoes without spending two-thirds of your time pulling the vines loose from the ridges, turning them out for the plow, cutting them off and clearing the ground so you can find what few Sweet Potatoes there are that haven’t gone into vines.
“Potatoes, not vines, are what pay.” Less than hali the labor and expense is required in cultivating and digging our *‘ Vineless Gold Coins” than any other Sweet Potato in existence. It will be a pleasure to grow Sweet Potatoes without bothering with vines. They are the greatest croppers known, which, together with their cheapness of
_ production, means tremendous profit to the Farmers and Gardeners of this country.
We expect them to be tried this year by thousands, and haye already booked hundreds of orders from early adver- tising.. We are positive every grower of Sweet Potatoes in America will try at least 50 or 100 plants. In this way the
‘cost of getting a start of them will amount to nothing. Any one can afford to buy 50 plants, which are delivered
free to your own station, at price quoted, together with our wonder book, “ Forty Years’ Experience in Growing Sweet Potatoes.” This book tells all about how to grow them to make the largest yields; how to keep them over winter; how to sprout them and how to make the most money out of them. It’s a book that should be owned by every one, and is well worth the price that is asked for the plants alone, but we give it free. We want you to be successful.
Nor is this all. We are going to give
$100.00 IN CASH PRIZES.
So that a still greater interest will be taken in growing them. Every person who buys 50 plants or more is entitled to contest for the prizes. The prizes will be awarded as follows: $50.00 to the person growing the greatest number of Bushels from a given number of Plants, ee ae “ Fé st ree aS i ~ “ 10.00 ‘ 4th “ ee » a
5,00 “ 5th “ ; : 4
This is something that should interest every one. Fifty plants may win the first prize, which would pay for your seeds for several years, besides you will have the best Sweet Potato on earth. All estimates of yields must reach us by November 1, 1896, at which date the prizes will be awarded. It will pay you to use great care in growing these Sweet Potatoes, so as to make the largest yield possible, for if you don’t win any of the prizes, the Sweet Potatoes will be very high another year and greatly sought after and plants will be in big demand in every neigh- borhood. f
We own the entire stock and have no agents for them, hence they can be : had only through us. gst full anger ah see piace 4 and 5.

New Davis KIDNEY WAX BEAN,
The Createst Addition to our List of Wax Beans in — Many Years, the Seed Being Pure White, with © es Absolutely no Eye Whatever. The Bean ws for Market Cardeners and Canners. Bound to be the Most Popular Wax Bean in Cultivation.
For Enormous Preductiveness and Desirable Market Qualities, it Leads All. You should have them this Year.
It is with special pride that we call our customers’ atten- tion to this remarkable new bean. The Davis Kidney Wax is undoubtedly the greatest bean ever offered, being absolutely rust proof; so productive that the vines are absolutely a mass of pods, and the field from a distance shows more yellow in color from the pods than it does green from the leaves. It holds its pods well up from the ground, standing considerable higher than the Golden Wax. The pods are always full of large plump beans, it being impossible to find a windy pod. Its place among the many wax varieties is practically a com- petitor of Wardwell’s Kidney Wax, as the Davis Kidney Wax grows larger, handsomer pods, of finer flayor, and more beans to the acre can be grown than of any other sort in the wax family, and when we say the Davis Kidney Wax will produce a third more bushels of pods to the acre, we are putting it mild. The pods are long, straight, oval, clear, waxy white color and handsome, often growing to a length of seven to eight inch and, when fit for use, are quite stringless and of fine flayor, an earlier than the Golden Wax. One of the main points of superiority over other sorts is its extreme hardiness and ship- ping qualities. Another good point of merit is the plants pro- duce a very small portion of waste or second quality pods,
The largest cropper, the handsomest pod, the best ship- er and market Bean in cultivation. Price, yo = pit kt., 15ce, 2 for 25c; pint, 45c3 qt., 85e. or

Sw bE T POTATO.
THE GREATEST PRODUCTION OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.
Millions of dollars are annually wasted and thrown away by growing the Vine Sweet Potatoes. Just think for a moment of the great Joss that has been going on for years and you will be utterly amazed. First, the vine varie- ties take one-third more ground to grow on, yield from a third to a half less, the vines take the strength from the sweet potatoes, and the VINELESS GOLD COIN can be dug in the same time that it takes to cut and pull the vines from the old vine sorts before it is possible to dig them. Our Vineless ‘‘Gold Coin Prolific’’ Sweet Potatoes are more easily dug than Irish Potatoes, as they grow al/ in a bunch, an ordinary plow or potato digger run once through the ridges will throw every potato out, or where you want to keep them for seed and do not want to bruise them, a com- mon manure or potato fork can be used and the whole hill lifted out together. They are bound to at once leap into popularity and their introduction will add tremendous wealth and profit to this country, a5 every grower of sweet potatoes, whether large or small, will be benefited alike.
Take, for instance, the jmmense acreage that is annually put out in sweet potatoes in the United States alone, and figure the difference in growing a sweet potato that only requires a space of from 2 to 3 feet in the rows and one that requires a space of from 4 to 5 feet. The difference in favor of our Vineless Gold Coin is so immense that it is hardly possible to figure it, yet the enormous profit derived from the increased yield on the same amount of ground, with Jess Jabor, is very small when compared with the tremendous profit that will be made by farmers and garden- ers everywhere who grow our Vineless «‘ Gold Coin Prolific’’ this year and have the plants to sell their neighbors next spring. The demand will simply be marvelous. You must make arrangements for it. This is the great- est opportunity you ever had of making money easy.
The above illustrations will give you an idea of their wonderful productiveness. They are the ideal of perfec- tion, and we predict for our Vineless ‘‘ Gold Coin Prolific’’ Sweet Potato the most unprecedented sale in 18% of any novelty offered in the present century, making no exception. lt is nota Jaxury, but a mecessity, and has more merit and fills the bill more completely than anything ever offered. The time has come when more economic farming must be put in practice—the conditions must be met. You can not afford to devote an acre of ground to growing Vine sweet potatoes when 4a/f an acre set with our Vimeless Gold Coins, will yield more potatoes. The difference is too great. Indeed, if business men did not take up mew ideas and put them in practice and cut the corners on all sides, with the close margins that they are now compelled to work on, half of them would be in bankruptcy within a year.
We have unlimited faith in our wonderful new Vineless Gold Coin Sweet Potatoes. They are the most beas- tiful sight ever seen growing in a field, standing up like beans. They will be the admiration of the universe, and we offer them in a way and at a price that they can be tried by one and all, rich or poor, great orsmall. They have so many good points that we could write for a year and not tell them all, but space will not permit this, and we must add that their merits can only be appreciated by a trial.

ORIGIN. Our Vineless Gold Coin was discovered a few years ago by a prominent sweet potato grower, who was so much taken with its merits that, unlike most people, instead of trying to introduce it to the public he tried te keep it all to himself. Three years ago the potato first’ came to our notice, and we were so favorably impressed with it, and haying had a great many calls for such a yariety, we at once turned our attention to it, and now own all of the true stock, and we certainly feel very much gratified to know that we are in position to offer to the American people the greatest novelty in the way of a vegetable ever produced. ; APPEARANCE. The Gold Coins are very similar to the Yellow Jerseys, grow the same shape and size, and : almost as yellow, being a beautiful rich color. The quality is fully equal, if not superior. Out of twenty-nine varie- -) ties tested at the Experiment Station the Gold Coins made the Jargest yield, were the easiest cultivated, the earliest to mature and the greatest drouth resister of the entire number. The fact that they can stand a drouth much better than any other Sweet Potato is on account of their not i) having to support a big, rank growth of vines, and the plants growing in a compact form also shade the hills and protect the potatoes, giving them more moisture. Having m0 vines to contend with they are easily cultivated, requir- ¥ ing less than half the labor it takes to cultivate the vine sorts. This potato being so early, it can be grown in extreme - northern latitudes, where heretofore it has been almost impossible to grow sweet potatoes on account of the shortness aS _ of the season. i c Two and one-half to three-foot rows are plenty wide for growing them, and on good soil 500 to 700 bushels per acre yt _ can easily be grown. One of our growers grew 415 bushels per measured acre with ordinary cultivation and set his ‘ plants in June, and the” potatoes matured perfectly. He also, to see just what the cost of harvesting our Gold Coins a would be compared with vine varieties, kept a strict account of the cost of each for two seasons and found that. when ‘* both kinds were placed in his cellars the Gold Coins had cost on an average of 4 cents per bushel, while the vine ; varieties averaged 10 cents per bushel. The gain is made from their having no vines to bother with and the fact ; that they grow all in a buuch (as shown in cut), making them exceedingly easy to harvest. The Gold Coins are extra Si ee good keepers. Ji taken direct to their winter storage from the field without being bruised, they can be as easily kept S as Irish potatoes. ¥ Another strong point in favor of the Gold Coins, and one that we wish to emphasize the most, is the hardi- . ness of the planis. Ii carefully set they rarely ever die, and as soon as the plants throw out their /ittle shoots cut- , tings can be made from them, and reset the same as the plants themselves, and if properly watered will take Mya _ root and makes potatoes just about as quick and as many as the original plants. This peculiarity of the plant _ enables one to propagate them very rapidly from only a few plants. % Now, we want to treat every farmer, gardener and private grower alike as far as it is possible for us todo. We want ? eur Vineless Gold Coias tried by every one, and in order that we can more successfully do this we have decided to es offer the plants only, and with every dollar’s worth or more of plants we will give free a book entitled ‘‘Forty Years’ : i- Experience in Growing and Caring for Sweet Potatoes.’’ The author of this book is one of the Jargest and most ifr . successful sweet potato growers in the world. His experience alone is worth a hundred times the price we ay ask for the plants, and remember it costs you nothing. We give this book free in order to assist our customers . in making the greatest success possible in growing our Gold Coin Prolifics. We want you to make money, 4 and you can not help making it if you follow the instructions and advice given in this wonderful book. It tells all . Bat, about Aow to grow them, how to keep them, how to bed them, and how to make the most money out of them. eta With this book and our Gold Coins, those who only grow for home use will be surprised what a small space of ground . Ce will provide them with more sweet potatoes than they can use, and those who grow for market will soon find their viMer ae ckets filled with gold and will thank us for all time to come for giving them the greatest money maker they ever / Bad They are indeed a public benefactor, and orders should be sentin early. We shall number them as re- oy ceived and fill them accordingly, hence. by having your order on file early you are more sure of getting them. We ie own the entire stock, and have no agents and they can be Aad only through us. We offer the plants only so that “pete | we can more fully supply thé demand, and to save our customers excessive express charges. Remember x we prepay all charges. They are delivered free to your own Station, at prices quoted, together with our book, ‘ «“‘Forty Years’ Experience with Sweet Potatoes,’’ which should beinevery home.

GENTLEMEN—I certainly feel honored, having been one of the first to try your Vineless ‘‘ Gold Coin” Prolific Sweet Potato. While the Yellow Jerseys have always been good enough for me, I must say that I will now have to give them _ abackseat. Your ‘Gold Coins” can not help being popular, and their having ao vines will make them the ‘* Samp- _ _ son’”’ of sweet potatoes. They are gilt-edged and need no further comment, and all you need to do is to get ready te
take care of your thousands of orders next spring. Yours truly, Wm. B. Burrorp, : YS State Printer and Lithographer. The Hunti Seed Co., Indianapolis, Ind. : InpIANAPOLIS, [xp., December 5, 1895.

I have talked with a pro- essional swedt potato grower who has grown them, and he frankly pronounces the Gold Coins the Banner Sweet Potato ' pow in existence. You may book my order for two thousand plants, as I want to be sure of getting them so as to be in

“BEN-HUR POTATO.
TRULY AN INDIANA PRODUCTION.
And one that bids Fair to Create as much of a Sensa- tion Among the Agricultural Classes as the Famous Book after which it takes its name did in the Literary World.
The Huntington Seed Co., Indianapolis, Ind. :
Strs—I have been before the public for fifleen years furnishing plants, and for the last five years plants and seed potatoes. It has always been my ambition to excel, and I pride myself that in this I have not failed. In introducing to the farmers and gardeners of this country, through you, my new potato ‘‘ Ben Hur,” I feel a conscions assurance that I am doing a thing for which I will receive the benedictions of thousands. I have no doubt but that within a few years the “‘ Ben Hur” will be the leading potato of commerce, as the Peach Blow was in years past. ‘‘ Ben Hur” is positively known to be a sport from the Beauty of Hebren, and ripening at the same time as the Hebron. Their shape is gener ally oblong, very shallow eyes, with russet skin. When cooked you have your ideal of perfection before you. The vines of ‘‘ Ben Hur” are remarkably free from disease, and among the last to be attacked by the bugs. They are very fine growers, the vines completely covering the ground, forming protection from the hot rays of thésun. I neverdiga hill of potatoes and make my calculations for an acre, as I cea it no test at all. I could have done that this season and had over 1,000 bushels to the acre, but with one rain from the time the “ Ben Hurs” were planted until they were matured, they made abont 200 bushels of fine potatoes to the acre. And I am sure they did not make one-third what they would had the season been favorable. In the same field where I grew my *‘ Ben Hur” I had Early Obio, Polaris, New Queen, Star of the West, Pride of Oregon, and Collossal. These under the same treatment as “* Ben Hur did not make over 25 bushels of marketable potatoes to the acre. While in another field, with all the conditions in their favor, I had four acres of Rural New Yorkers No. 2, which only made 80 bushels marketable tubers to the acre.
Respectfully, J. J. Munnovs, Valley Mills, Ind.
The Huntington Seed Co., City:
GENTLEMEN—The ‘‘ Ben-Hur” Irish Potatoes that I received from you were cooked and served on my tables, and as long as I have been in the hotel business I have never found a potato that I liked better. It has a peculiar flavor that is bound to make it a great favorite, and the appearance of the potato could not have been finer if you had made them to order. Very truly, J. S. Hatz, Proprietor Hotel English.
The Huntington Seed Co. : IRVINGTON, December 21, 1895.
GrNTLEMEN—The “ Ben-Hur” Potatoes you kindly gave me for testing were duly tested, and were found to be of fine flavor. Cooked easily, were sound and dry after boiling, and did not fall to pieces. I shall certainly want to test the * Ben-Hur” further next spring. Very truly yours, Syivgster Jonnsoy, Horticulturist.

The “BEN-HUR” Potate, originated by J. J. Milhous, Valley Mills, Ind., and introduced by us this year for ” the first time is destined to be one of the most famous of all Second Early Potatoes. It has tremendous growing powers, _ producing nearly all large tubers. The potatoes are rather oblong, skin light russet color, and finely netted. The quality being unsurpassed by any potato, always cooking dry and mealy, and having a peculiar flavor that makes it especially ‘palatable. Its vines are very rank growers, and as Mr. Milhous describes them, almost bug proof. The ‘‘ Ben Hur” _ is a remarkable drouth resister, exhibiting itself in this line wonderfully this season as shown in Mr. Milhous’ deserip- ' tion on opposite page, making nearly three times the yield any of the other potatoes did (which were all standard sorts), grown in the same field and with the same oultivation, yielding nearly 200 bushels per acre, with only one rain from time of planting to maturity, and where other varieties failed almost completely. We can honestly say to our customers that all who wish to grow large, handsome, finely-shaped, shallow eyed tubers they can look the entire list over and » will not find one that will fill the bill so completely as our “ Ben Hur.’ It is certainly the “acme” of perfection in _ the way of a potato. We have thoroughly tested it along with other varieties, and while many new potatoes have been introduced in the last few years that have had many points of merit, yet we candidly believe there are none that will take the place and hold it in the hearts of the American people that our “ Ben Hur” will, as soon as known, We most heartily recommend it for trial, and know that it will fill every requirement for a main crop.

Like our “GOLD COIN PROLIFIC” Sweet Potatoes, we own the entire stock, and they can be had only through us. We have had them on exhibition at our store for several weeks, where they have been seen and carefully wh te examined by hundreds of expert potato growers, who all unite in pronouncing them the finest and handsomest variety ‘ r yet produced. As we have less than 500 bushels of ** Ben Hurs” we do not expect to be able to supply all the de- _ mand for them this season, and would say to those who wish to have them in advance, and make the money to be made ' selling them to their neighbors another season, that their orders should come in early so we can reserve the amount " wantedforthem.

ACCURATELY ENGRAVED
FODDER CORN.
For years we have contended that there should be a corn that would produce an ear at every joint, before the ideal ensilage or fodder corn was realized. While we have not quite secomplished this, we are able to offer to the American people a fodder corn that stands head and shou'ders above anything ever offered before. It first come to our notice through a prominent seed and implement dealer, who does not issue a retail catalogue. It had so favorably impressed him*"that ke thought some one who was in position to put it before the people should have it. He therefore wrote us, describing its merits. We atonce asked him te send us a@ specimen stock, which he did, and to our surprise found it the nearets perfection in the way of a fodder corn yet brought to our notice.
It was unpacked in the presence of E.G. Hill, Richmond, Ind., whele- sale florist, Henry Rieman, Indianapolis, and J. 8. Stewart, Anderson, Ind., both large florists also. The three united in saying that they thought they had done wonders jn the last few years in the way of producing big chrysanthemums, but they were not in it when if came to growing Seven Ears of Corn on one stock.
It has since been examined by hundred of people, who have unanimously verified the fact that we have a corn far in advance of anything yet known for ensilage or fodder purposes. This corn has as many as fem ears on a stock, and never less than five, and will average seven ears all threugh. It is the most prolific ear producer in existence, and aside from its giving five to ten ears to the stock, which are about the size of the Pride of the North, itis early to mature, and surpasses everything for big follage. Grows 12 to 15 feet high, stocks very short jointed, and has a wonderfal growth of leaves. Has a very tender flesh, which is sweet, sugary and juicy. Will ma- ture in most any latitude, and produce double the amount per acre of green fodder and nourishment over common corn.
We bought the entire stock, but unfortunately it was small, and cost us a fabulous price, which handicaps us from offering it only in a emall way. However, a pound or two of seed planted this year will give an abundance of seed for another season, and ata very small expense. Ite merits are such that warrant every one in giving it atrial, for seed stocks of a novelty, pos- sessing the merits this does are bound to command high prices for several years tocome. There is nota farmer in America but what should have this corn. Yor can not afford to be without it.

THIS ILLUSTRATION WAS ACCURATELY ENGRAVED FROM A PHOTOGRAPH.
& G 55 THE GREATEST NOVELTY IN FLOWERS EVER KNOWN. THE ONLY DWARF SWEET PEA EVER PRODUCED.
HE foliage is very dark green; blossoms pure, waxy white, of unequaled substance, and fully as large as “Emily
Henderson.” The plant does not grow over five inches high, and never more than twelve to fifteen inches im ]
diameter. The stems are about four inches long, bearing two or three blossoms, all very near the end of the stem. It is a wonderfully free bloomer, and begins to flower as early as May and continues until November. The seed is white and of usual size.
There is no plant that can stand in suceessful competition with CUPID for the border.
Nothing could be more novel or more truly beautiful.
Sweet Peas have crept into the popular heart in a remarkable manner of late years. Society has taken them up, and growers everywhere are constantly introducing new and improved varieties, but the most wonderful thus"far is the Cupid.
It is one of the few flowers that needs no company; so beautiful is it that any other flower detracts from its grace and simplicity.
Fancy a solid area of deep green—just as green as Cypress—a carpet of plants only five inches high, spreading out from the roots so as to meet when the seed is planted two feet apart in rows; then fancy this carpet of deep, living green springing into blossom in one week, all a mass of white—clear waxy white—Sweet Peas on stems only four inches long and a hundred on a plant; all white—like a mass of snow. Indeed, so strongly contrasted with the deep green foliage that the purity of the whiteness of Cupid’s Flowers seem even whiter than the driven snow Mself!

GRAND RAPIDS EARLY MARKET
MUSKMELON
The Earliest Muskmelon in the Market, and a Big One at that!

IT 1S AT LEAST TWO WEEKS EARLIER THAN ANY MUSKMELON IN CULTIVATION.
THE VERY MELON
FOR EARLY HOME MARKET TRADE.
The Grand Rapids Early Market Musk- melon, as shown in cut, speaks for itself. It is an all-around, stylish and attractive melon and is decidedly the best — early market melon in cultivation. It isa market gardener’s melon, and a money-maker. It has been grown for several years, but the seed was successfully controlled by two gardeners, who would not part with it, for the simple reason that they were obtaining high prices for their melons and bringing them into market from two to three weeks earlier than any other variety. Flesh is pure yellow color to the rind, skin finely netted, is of vigorous growth, and crop ripens very uniform.
The Grand Rapids Early Market is of good flavor; but the main points in its favor are its extreme earli- ness, large size and attractive appearance. There is nothing we can so highly recommend for fancy grocer and hotel trade. Unlike many melons of this type, the Grand Rapids Early Market will stand shipping long distances with pind results. It is an all-around money-maker, and no gardener that is “up-to-date” should be without it.

SUFFERN’S WHITE BEAUTY SUNFLOWER, | Gictagerds
(HIS DESCRIPTION.)
For ag years I have been breeding towards a pure white Mammoth Sunflower. A very difficult, patient under-taking it has been. But now I can exclaim:
EUREK A! I have it at last! A Sunflower with Snow White Seeds. It’s a novelty indeed. A novelty in a 1,000. And is sure to meet with a Jarge and enduring sale.
After years of careful selection I am rewarded with a purely bred Mammoth Single-head Sunflower with pure snow white seeds, which, on account of the deficiency of strong coloring mat- ter in the outer covering of their kernels, are much superior to the darker sorts for stock and poultry food. It also produces a much milder, better flavored oil.
This strikingly distinet new sort is not only the most beautiful, the most vigorous, the most valuable for stock and poultry feed- img, and for oil production, but owing to the fact that all its powers are expanded in producing one mammoth head, it is sim- ply a marvel for productiveness. Out-yielding the old sorts almost twotoone. 3,000 pounds per acre being no unusual yield. is I feel much gratified in being able to offer it to the public, feel- img confident that it will take the lead in Sunflower production.

This wonderful new melon was orig a Watermelon Grower, who was also the
inated by Mr. Nash, the Famou
originator of the Hoosier King, introduced | V us seve ral y ago, and whi long since taken head rank in the water- melon family, and has doubtless been one of the best all-round melons ever introduced. Grows to an immense size, of excellent quality, and a remarkable shipper. The American Queen being an earlier melon, and possessing all the above points of excellency, will at once make it the leading melon of Amer The rind is thin but tough, making
it an excellent shipper. It is about the same shape of Hoosier King, as shown i it Color, light.green. Flesh bright red, very sweet and juicy, and never stringy, in fact, they simply melt im your mouth—so tender. The seed is grayish brown, and while the flesh is very tender and mealy it is always solid.
Commission men who have handled them tell us that they keep longer in good condit
) than any melon they handle.
This alone should recommend them. The vines are rank, vigorous growers and prolific bearers. Commencing to bear early and continue until killed by frost. The melons frequently weigh 75 to 80 pounds. While it is customary to put the price of a new novelty very high, we have made the price of American Queen so that every melon grower and private gardener can afford to put out a field of them this season. Their handsome appearance makes them sought after by those who have a fancy trade, at a premium over the old standard varieties. They will pay you and please you, .and at the price, we expect an order from every lover of a good melon.

CABBAGE
‘The Most Profitable for Mar- ket Gardeners, and the Best for Family Use.
Two years ago we introduced our Acme Cabbage, and while our claims made for it were very strong they were not half strong enough, as, since it has been more generally tried it has made new friends everywhere, and is undoubt- edly the grandest main crop late cabbage now in existence. It has,in the last two years, been tried by hundreds of market gardeners and private growers, who pro- nounce it absolutely the best and surest heading cabbage they ever had, and will grow it this season altogether. Having had avery large amount grown for us this season, we are in position to offer it to our trade at a very low price, and cer- tainly think our customers who have not yet tried it will do well to discard some of the old degenerated varieties they have been growingso long and sub- stitnte our Acme.
Several years ago Mr. G. W. Blue, one of our largest and most prosperous market gardeners, noticed this cabbage in Landreth’s market gardeners large, late flat Dutch. He selected and improved it each year until he reached the highest point of per- fection attained by any cabbage. It ripens about the same time as the late flat Dutch. The heads are rather long and rounded at the top, and of such size and shape as to make it very salable. It is extremely fine veined and very white, being more desirable for slaw than any other. This Cabbage heads up solid,and keeps well when buried. A particular point of merit is thatit seldom ever bursts, and when it does, always bursts across the stalk end, not injuringit in the least. Mr. Blue built up such a large trade with the Indianapolis grocers that it caused a jealously among his fellow gardeners. They would willingly have paid him $20.00 fora pound of seed. We knew the desire there was on the part of the gardeners for this cabbage, and succeeded in purchasing the entire stock. Mr. Blue has for several years controlled a certain trade on account of the superior quality of his cabbage, which has given him an extra source of revenue over other gardeners.

Climbing Cucumber...
te A GREAT NOVELTY.
This new Cucumber is a strong and vigorus grower, the vines at- taining nearly twice the length of common varieties. The young | plants are bushy, but as soon as they become well established they | begin to climb, and may be grown on fences, poles or trellises, thus saving much valuable space in small gardens or in market gardens where land is dear. It is estimated that with this eucum- ber the product of a given area can be increased three- | fold. The fruits are 10 to 12 inches in length, of a fine green color; the flesh is thick and firm, never bitter, and fine for pickling as well as slicing. It is very prolific, and the fruits being well raised above the ground, mever suffer from wet weather or imseets; vines are proof against mildew, and continue bearing till late in the fall.

T IS a well-established fact that it is quite difficult to combine in |}
any one fruit all the good qualities that go to make up completeness, such as earliness, size, quality, productiveness, and good form; at least it has been so with Tomatoes, for while we have had a few “‘extra earlies” these varieties were lacking in some other requisite quality. For many seasons past we have been looking Pe a Tomato | combining all of the above qualities, with the object | of establishing astock that | would prove a leader in | its class.

Mr. L. C. Wright, of Oswego County, N. Y., a well known and up-to-date market gardener and the propagator of this excellent Tomato, first called our attention to this variety two years ago, and we were led to watch its course under his intelligent supervision, until after repeated visits the past season to his garden, we became fully satisfied that he had accomplished his desire in working up the ““Leader” into the earliest, most productive, finest quality and best formed
Tomato in existence. in offering it to the trade.

can cheerfully endorse every
word of the following descrip-
tion of the introducers: ‘‘We first observed this new yellow- fleshed melon some years ago on our Columbus market, and while its outside rs Neda did not at- tract 40 much attention as some of the heavily netted sorte, at the same time, it would be noticed at first sight asa distinct melon by any one familiar with the various kinds. We are introducing it wholly on its merits, and claim, after years of trial and thorough test, that nothing equals it for uniform good quality. We make no exception, not even such gen- eral favorites as Osage, Miller’s Cream or Emerald Gem. Very good specimens are occasionally found among these well known kinds, | but the universal testimony of | every one using the Tip Top is that every fruit produced, whether big or little, early or late in the sea- son, is a good one—sweet, juicy finest flavor, firm but not hard fleshed, eatable to the very outside coating. A little history of this melon might be of interest. Sev- eral yearsagoa gentleman livingin Lancaster County, Pa., discovered a peculiar melon growing in a neighbor's field, where various kinds were planted for market, among them Surprise, Hacken- sack, Jenny Lind and others. Out of curiosity it was cut and tested for quality, with the result that all present were astonished at its ex- cellence. When the above men- tioned gentleman removed to Uhio he brought, along with other good things from that model county of Pennsylvania, the seed of this va- riety. For three or four years it has been grown exclusively. for one fancy vegetable stand in this city, and the prices obtained, even up to the past season, were always double that of other varieties of Muskmelons. When melons of or- dinary kinds were bringing 10 to 20 cents each, the Tip Top sold easily for 20 to 40 cents, and best specimens sold readily for 50 cents tothose who knew the melon.” —_ - Postpaid—Packet, 5c; ounce, 10c; 4 pound, 20c; pound, 60c.

CONTINUED. Early Ohio.
Now widely known and deserv- edly one of the most popular sorts that ‘‘ grow in the ground.’” We grow it more extensively than any other, finding it the most popular of all the older stand- ard kinds we offer. Peck, 40c; bushel, 90c; barrel, $2.00.
Ohio Junior.
Without doubt related to that good old sort, the Harly Ohio, as it is almost identical with that variety in the form and marking of the tubers, habit of growth, ete. It is an excellent keeper, very productive and of fine quality. It may be called an Early Ohio with new blood. Peck, 40c; bushel, 9c; barrel, $2.00,
The Freeman.
The great merits of this variety are its extreme earliness and long keeping qualities. It is also a first-class yielder, frequently producing 6 to 9 pounds from a single hill. The tubers are oval in shape, russet in color; flesh very white, both raw and when cooked; fine grained and of the very best flavor. From the time they are as large as hen’s eggs until new potatoes come in the next year, they burst open when boiled with their jackets on and appear snow-white and floury. Peck, 15c; bushel, $1.25; bbl., $3.00.

BROWN LEGHORN.
BROWN LEGHORNS. |
These are the most industrious and diligent foragers known, and are, moreover, the very best breed where
eggs are desired; in fact, their strongest point is their laying qualities, no other breed yet introdneed being
equal to them in this respect. Their f ing is deli- | cate, rich and distinet—no more plessing sight in fowls can be desired. Brown Leghorns have long been a favorite breed with us; we are exceedingly careful in their mating. A setting of 15 eggs, $1.25; two settings, | $2.40,
BARRED PLYMOUTH ROCKS. |
.
The greatest general purpose fowl in America. More kept by farmers than all other varieties combined. The only reason we can give for this is that they are a prac- tical bird all through; that is, they are good layers, good foragers, attain good marketable size, and are of good, honest color, good mothers, and last, but not | least, make good eating. No matter how old, they are always tender, They are fine loeking birds, of grayish white, barred with bluish black. Weconsider ourstoek | the best in the country. A setting of 15 eggs, $1.25; two settings, $2.40.
’
How to Treat Eggs for Hatching.
After receiving the eggs do not put them immediately under a hen, but allow them to remain quietly for 24 hours, so as to permit all the fertile germs to recover their natural position, as the constant jarring on the cars is apt to strain the fine fibres. By adhering elesely te this, we believe, from repeated experiments, you will /
get a much better hatch. NO EG@@S SENT C. 0. D.

BLACK MINORCAS.
Their plumage is pure black, large bright red comb and wattles, white ear lobes, legs ofa dark slate color, being yery handsome in appearance. They are the Jargest non-setting breed in existence, being fully one- third larger than the Leghorn, and equal to them as egg producers. Their eggs weigh from six to eight ounces more to the dozen than those of any other breed.
Any one wishing to secure a profitable fowl can do so by purchas- ing a setting of ezgs from our prize winning fowls of the Pierce and Northup strain. Setting of 15 eggs, $1.25; two settings »$2.40,
BLACK MINORCAS.
‘- LANGSHANS.
They are nearly as large as Bramas, yet the pullets lay exceedingly early; in fact, some claim they lay as early as Leghorns; nor is this all, for they lay steadily after they once begin. For crossing purposes they impress themselves very strongly, and make a good eross with any breed. In plumage, carriage and form they are simply magnificent. The plum- age is of a brilliant black, heightened by a greenish cast, which addsa
ish and brilliancy unsurpassed. They are good setters and excellent mothers. A setting of 15 eggs, $1.25; two settings, $2.40.
| SINGLE COMB WHITE LEGHORNS.
The White Leghorns resemble the Browns very closely except in eolor; in size they are about the same as the Brown, with nice yel- low legs, bright red comb and wattles and white ear lobes, and if pore attended to will furnish eggs winter and summer. They
egin laying when about 4 months old. No fowl shows greater beauty on a green lawn than the White Leghorn, owing to its graceful sym- metry and pure white plumage. We have the pure white strain, not + white as most are. A setting of 15 eggs, $1.25; two settings,

The Boss Fence Machine,
CHEAPEST AND BEST MACHINE ON EARTH.
UY THE BOSS and have a machine that is far ahead of all others. One person can put up from 50 to 75 rods per day. You can build this fence as shown in cut ata cost of 8to 15 cents per rod for wire and staples,
where one has post and picket timber on the farm. Almost any timber will split or rive 2 feet in length. It is entirely unnecessary to have the top of a lawful fence built as close as the bottom. Large animals will not go to the bottom to get through, or small animals will not go to the top to get over. Why not put up this fence and save three-fourths of your posts, half of your pickets and one-fourth of your wire, and have a much better fence? In this fence use 2-foot pickets; every 6 or 7 feet a 4-foot picket is woven in the fence same as 2-foot pickets; they are lashed on to the wires as shown in cut. The wind has no effeet on this fence, all the strain is on the wives at the top. When the wire becomes loose at the top it can be tightened. The desired ten- sion will hold your fence wp straight and nice. Those that have a full 4-foot picket fence know what an eye-sore they are in regard to appearance. They soon become loose and shackley. Thousands of rods of this fence are being built; it mcets the approval of all. In making a square turn you can take this machine off when you come to the corner, just set it on the other side and go ahead. With other machines you are compelled to cut the wire at each corner. This machine has a gauge to keep the pickets
level at the top. The tension deviee answers for two purposes: when you get to the tension board with the machine you ean take the
machine from the wires, take hold of the tension lever, twist it to the desired tension, staple it, and the fence is complete. The Boss is _ made of good material and will last a person a lifetime. Price, all complete, ready to build fence, only $5.00.

DWARF ESSEX RAPE,
A forage plant of great merit, easily grown in any part of the
’ United States on any land that will raise turnips or corn, and will furnish abundant supplies of succulent, rich, nutritions pasture at a season when it is most needed. Is of great value for sheep ‘and lambs and when turned in on it, to use a common expression, “they soon weigh like lead.’ It is also of value for pasturing
cattle. One acre of Rape is sufficient to pasture ten to fifteen
lambs on for two to two and one-half months. It is often sown |
_ broadcast; about 5 pounds to the acre, but will yield much better
_ if drilled about two pounds to the acre, in rows 22 inches apart, and cu®ivated until plants are too large. Seed may be sown in May, but we do not advise sowing until June or July. Can, how-. ever, be sown with grain in the spring, and it is said to not inter-
_ fere with the grain crop. The Dwarf Essex Rape is unequaled as a pasture for sheep in the autumn, and as a fattening food is with- out a rival in point of cheapness and effectiveness. It will also keep a long time in early winter if cut and put in heaps like shocks of hay. Postpaid—Large packet, 10c; pound, 30c; 4 pounds,
_ $1.00. By express, 5 pounds or more, lic per pound.
