This is a paying crop, and will do well in this State. The following varieties have been thoroughly tested in this climate. Our seed of most of these was grown on the crown panicles of select plants. Early in the spring burn a brush pile on the ground to be used for seed bed. Then thoroughly pulverize the soil, digging and mixing in ashes. Sow seed very shallow. When plants are six inches high transplant into rows four feet apart. Cultivate thoroughly.
MAMMOTH MUSCATELLE--See Novelty List; per 1/4 lb. $1.00; oz. 30c... 10.
HESTER--Makes a fine cigar stock. It has size, shape, texture and color, and ripens early. It has greater adaptability over a wider range of soils and latitude than any other of the yellow varieties, and may, on this score, be considered the surest; per 1/4 lb. 75c; oz. 25c... 10.
STERLING--The newest and brightest of the yellow type, and the earliest to ripen; per 1/4 lb. 75c; oz. 25c... 5.
BIG HAVANA--A Hybrid Havana or Cuban seed-leaf. A heavy cropper of fine texture, delightful flavor, and the earliest cigar variety to mature and ripen; per 1/4 lb. 65c; oz. 20c... 5.

TOMATO--Ger. Leibesapfel.
One ounce will produce about 1,500 plants.
Sow early in March in hot-beds or seed-boxes, and when plants have four leaves, transplant to four or five inches apart; give plenty of air and endeavor to secure a vigorous and healthy growth. When all danger of frost is past, transplant to open ground, four to six feet apart each way. Well manured, light sandy soil is best, but it must be remembered that a surplus of manure stimulates leaf growth to the detriment of fruit.
ATLANTIC PRIZE--The earliest of all. See description in Novelty List; per 1/4 lb. $2; oz. 60c... 10.

CARDINAL--A large, grand Tomato. The fruit is smooth, of a deep cardinal color, with flesh of the same rich hue, without a green core, very thick and solid, ripens evenly, has no green spots or ends, is a good keeper, and hence is a good shipper, matures at the same time as the Trophy, a vigorous grower and very productive; per 1/4 lb. 60c; oz. 20... 5.
