New All Seasons Radish.

Free To Our Customers!

But Money Cannot Buy It!
Other Seedsmen Can't Supply It!

Something entirely new--just obtained from China. The best novelty for 1890. It is of handsome shape, stump rooted, and ivory white in color. Equally good for spring, summer, fall or winter use. Exceedingly tender, crisp and delicious. Very desirable for either the market or home garden. We will give a packet of this elegant new Radish to each of our customers who asks for it when sending in their order. Order early, and don't fail to include this sterling novelty.

Instead of selling it to our customers at 15 cts. to 25 cts. per packet, as is usually done, we have decided to make our customers a present this year, which we are sure they will appreciate. It will be sent to customers of this year only, and only one packet to each, regardless of the size of their order. We think we have enough seed to go the rounds, so that all can try it, but be sure to order early. Is it not worth at least a small order to obtain such a valuable novelty, free?

Mammoth Muscatelle Tobacco.

A handsome new variety, originated in the private gardens of the Shah of Persia. One of the earliest varieties in existence, of remarkably strong and vigorous growth, attaining the height of 5 to 7 feet. The stalks are strong and heavy, thickly set with leaves, many of them measuring 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 feet in length, with proportionate width; in fact, some of them are almost large enough to cover the body of a fair-sized man. The leaves are unusually small-ribbed, very elastic, of finest possible texture, and when properly cured, of a light brown color; of the most delicious and mild flavor imaginable. Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; 1/4 lb., $1.
