Print and Flower.

Among the fruit and flower novelties
which 1896 brings us, we notice that
the enterprising and reliable firm OF
James Vick's Sons, Rochester, N. Y ,
are already calling attention to three,
which seem to have won great favor
where known. They are the Double
Sweet Pea, the only one In the world
true to name, Bride OF Niagara" the
early Leader Tomato" the earliest OF
all the early toma o family aud sure to
become great fayorite, and the al
ready famous blackberry, the "Rath-
bun"
From the praise and compliments
given so abuudantly to the bride Of
Niagara" this sweet pea must be more
than charming and from the euconiums
lavished on both the new tomato and
this new black berry, it is pretty certain
that no garden desiring to have the
first and best OF everything, can be
without these three new comers.
BY the way, rel ders, are any OF you
so far behind the times as not to know
"Vick's Floral Guide ?" If any of you
have never seen 1T, send 10 cents to this
firm at Rochester, N. Y, and get a
copy. You can deduct this from the
first order for seeds and the pleasure
and information their Guide will give
you will certainly induce you to keep
up the acquaintance.
