It grows to average five pounds, and yields enormously, the ground covered with the golden fruit being a sight not soon forgotten when once seen. There is quite a call for the Sugar pumpkin in our city markets, where they bring from half to two-thirds as much as the best of squashes. Price, per pound, postpaid, 75 cents; per 1-4 pound, 23 cents; per ounce, 10 cents; per package, 5 cents. MICHIGAN MAMMOTH. This crops abundantly and grows as large round as a bar- rel, weighing, with! us, from twenty to forty-five pounds. We have raised as high as twelve tons to the acre.

Price, per pound, postpaid, 60 cents; per 1-4 pound, 20 cents; per ounce. 10 cents; per package, 5 cents. For a quick outdoor sort try the Earliest White. RADISHES.
