For some four or five years past there has been a very friendly personal correspondence between Tennyson and Whitman. It first commenced with a letter from the English laureate, full of courtesy to his American brother, and warmly inviting him to come to England and accept the hospitality of his roof. An English gentleman, a neighbor and friend of Tennyson's, traveling in the United States, had called on Whitman in Washington, and the latter took occasion to send Tennyson, by him, an autograph copy of "Leaves of Grass." The laureate's letter followed, as above. Other letters have since been sent from each. In fact, the two old fellows have become quite affectionate toward each other, not as poets, but as men and brethren, and have interchanged photographs as special mementoes. In a late letter, Tennyson cheers his American friend with good words, and mentions a case of cerebral disease within his own knowledge in England, similar to Whitman's, where the patient got over it, and has been restored to sound health. It is probable that the English poet, with all his admirers (it is indeed, singular, as one is Democracy and one is Aristocracy), has none who so thoroughly appreciates him, has as warm a personal attachment to him, and so discriminatingly, yet constantly, champions him, as Whitman. I met the latter, lately, all aglow from a perusal of "Queen Mary," which he pronounced one of the world's greatest dramas of emotion, character, and poetic beauty.

On the front cover of our catalogue we illustrate the six grand varieties described below. They are of such exquisite beauty that our representation can give but a faint idea of their rare beauties, and all should see them in order to more fully appreciate their charms. We have reduced prices, and this year offer strong plants at 20 cts. each, 6 for $1.00.
No. 1. NEW RAINBOW - This new rose from California, which no doubt will be extensively planted, was awarded a silver cup by the State floral society. The color is a lovely shade of deep coral pink, striped and mottled in the most unique manner with intense crimson, and elegantly colored with rich, golden amber at center and base of petals. It makes beautiful buds, and the flowers are extra large, very sweet and of great depth and substance. It is a most charming new variety. Each 20c, 6 for $1.00. No. 2. THE BRIDE - Every lover of fine roses should have a plant of this peerless variety, as it fills a place in Ever-blooming Roses hitherto wanting. "The Bride" is a pure white rose of large size and most perfect form. The buds are painted and the ends of the petals are slightly curved back, giving it a most chaste and elegant appearance. This variety has the most delicious tea fragrance, and is a strong-growing, free-blooming rose either for summer or winter flowering. Each 20c., 6 for $1.00. No. 3. METEOR--This splendid rose is one of the brightest colored of all, and must be considered among the very best for bedding and general planting, as well as for growing in pots and conservatory. The color is a rich velvety crimson, exceedingly bright and striking, and the flowers are large and regular, fully double and borne on nice, long stems. It is a quick and constant bloomer, and quite fragrant. Never fails to please. It is one of the richest colored roses in existence, and no collection would be complete without it. Each 20c., 6 for $1.00. No. 4. LA FRANCE--One of the most beautiful of all roses, and is unexcelled by any in its delightful fragrance, very large, very double, superbly formed. It is difficult to convey an idea of its beautiful coloring, but the prevailing color is light silvery pink, shaded with silvery peach. It blooms continuously throughout the season, often blooming so freely as to check the growth of the plant, in which case a portion of the buds should be removed; stands first among the roses of our climate. In addition to this, it is entirely hardy, with a slight protection of leaves, and most deliciously fragrant, thus combining in a marked degree all the qualities of a perfect rose. Each 20c., 6 for $1.00.
NEW CHAMPION EARLY SWEET CORN. Without doubt the earliest large corn ever introduced, being only a few days later than Cory, with ears nearly as large as the Mammoth. Ears were grown ready for table use in 61 days from time of planting, and they weighed 1 1/2 pounds each, and were 12 1/2 inches long by 8 1/2 inches around. To help you realize these figures, get the largest ear of field corn you can find and compare measurements. This was grown with special culture. An average size is about 9 inches long. It has a medium size white cob and large pearly white kernels, very sweet, tender and full of milk. No market gardener can afford to be without it, and every family garden should contain at least a few hills. Per pkt. 10c; 1/2 pt. 20c.; qt. 60c.
