at. HEN considering the construction of this work as a guide for our cus-
(WY tomers, and the public at large, we first thought to bring together the
Hl general varieties, with a few valuable additions, and arrange in a similar
JIE manner to our old catalogue, would. be sufficient. But desiring still
¢ further to enlighten the minds of those who have many questions to
ask, we have attempted to answer—in a satisfactory manner—all such questions
as naturally arise in relation to the varieties we herein offer and recommend.
For authority—together with our own experience and observations—we have
taken in the main, Charles Downing, F, R. Elliott, J. A. Warder, and P. Barry.
Omissions that are found to occur in the various columns are such as we have
been unable thus far to gather any certain knowledge of.

DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE
The plan of our work will be readily understood by reading the following
explanations. By looking at the head of each column, the reader will find titles
corresponding with the following; then taking a variety like Early Harvest or
Benoni, and tracing it out on the same line, may be found a complete description
of that variety:
1. Origin of Varieties.—County or State abbreviated.
2. Szze.—S for small; m, medium; ], large; v 1, very large.
3. Flesh, Color of —W for white; y, yellow; g, green.
4. Color of Outside.—Y for yellow; g, green; s, striped; r, red; w, white.
5. Quality.—G for good; v g, very good; b, best.
6. Habit of Growth—M for moderate; v, vigorous; v v, very vigorous.
7. Hardiness.—Hi for hardy; v h, very hardy.
8.' Bearing Age—V e for very early; e, early; m e, medium early; 1, late.
9. Productiveness.—M for moderate; p, productive; v p, very productive.
In columns representing color of outside, the preceding letter throughout
this Catalogue represents the predominating color. As light and soil has much to
do with the outside coloring, and through these agencies many variations are
made, we will only attempt to indicate the general color.
When a dash is placed in precedence for a letter, thus, —y, it denotes light, as
light yellow; and thus, y—, denotes dark, as dark yellow; or thus, —r, light red;
and thus, r—, dark red, etc. In other columns the same mark denotes a little
below or above, as the case may be.

Rule.—Multiply the distance in feet between the rows by the distance the plants
are apart in the rows, and the product will be the number of square feet for each —
plant or hill, which, divided into the number of feet in an acre (43,560(, will give
the number of plants or trees required to the acre. *
NOTICEH,—Our salesmen are positively restricted from taking orders for yarie-
ties outside of this Catalogue, fram selling in quantities greater than indicated at :
the head of columns in price list at reduced prices, or at prices differing in any way
