PEACH YELLOWS.—This disease is making considerable trouble in certain parts of the country. It attacks trees about the time they are coming to the age of most prolific bearing to such an extent that in certain portions of the peach-growing regions healthy old trees are unknown. The symptoms of the disease are: Yellowish-green color of leaves; small leaves tinged with red; the new shoots small, wiry, and clustered, especially when growing upon the trunk or larger branches; fruit ripens prematurely, is highly colored, and insipid or bitter to the taste. The sickly yellowish-green foliage may be due to injury or lack of nourishment, but when coupled with the other characters given the presence of the “yellows” can be considered as certain. The only sure way is to dig out and burn every tree as soon as it is seen to be affected. This plan has been followed in Michigan, where, between 1870 and 1880, the disease was very bad. Now hardly a case of “yellows” can be found in many of the peach regions. Constant attention and prompt action have proved successful, in this case, at least.

Straws show which way the wind blows. Watch them—and be convinced. When you see all sorts of washing powders patterned after _Pearline_; when you see it imitated in appearance, in name, in everything except merit; when you find three persons using _Pearline_ where two used it a year ago; when you hear it as a household word with the best housekeepers; when you find its former enemies now its staunchest friends;—then you may know the wind is taking you along toward _Pearline_.

Why not go with it? You are losing money by trying to head the other way; money, and labor, and time and patience.

Go with the rest—use _Pearline_—and you stop losing, and begin to gain. Millions realize that there is everything to gain and nothing to lose—with _Pearline_.

Blowing

Peddlers and some grocers will tell you, “this is as good as” or “the same as Pearline.” IT’S FALSE—but what a puff for Pearline.

The Innisfallen Greenhouses

=Have been favorably known for more than twenty years=, and always give satisfaction. In order to increase my business, I make the following

_SPECIAL OFFERS_

=which are marvels of cheapness=.

NEW EVER-BLOOMING DWARF CALLA,

“THE GEM”

This is a novelty of great merit. The only objection to the old variety is that it sometimes grows tall and scraggly, but the “=Little Gem=” is of strong and dwarf habit. The foliage which is of a lustrous dark green is in great abundance. The flowers are produced in the greatest profusion, being literally an ever-bloomer, it will bloom freely all summer in the open ground, in September it can be lifted and potted and will continue blooming all winter. The “Little Gem” Calla will continue to grow and bloom for years without ceasing, and the quantity of flowers which a large plant will produce is astonishing, the flowers are snowy white in color, and of good size, it seldom grows higher than fifteen inches. Price for plants that will bloom this season, =30 cents each=. =For $1.00 I will mail 5 plants to one address.=

=ONLY $1.00= will buy any one of the collections named below, delivered safely by mail, postpaid, to any address. The collections are all fine, strong plants of the best varieties and are marvels of cheapness. Every plant is plainly labeled, and there are no two varieties alike in the same collection.

=FOR $1.00 I will mail FREE 20 Prize-winning Chrysanthemums; 20 fine Single and Double Flowering Geraniums for $1.00; 20 Choice Ever-Blooming Carnations for $1.00; 20 Flowering Begonias for $1.00; 20 Assorted Flowering Plants for $1.00; 20 Fancy Leaved Coleus for $1.00.=

=For $5.00 you can select any six of the above Collections.=

To every one who sends an order from this advertisement and mentions this magazine, we will send =FREE= a valuable plant.

The Greatest Medical Discovery of the Age.

KENNEDY’S MEDICAL DISCOVERY

DONALD KENNEDY, OF ROXBURY, MASS.,

Has discovered in one of our common pasture weeds a remedy that cures every kind of Humor, from the worst Scrofula down to a common Pimple.

He has tried it in over eleven hundred cases, and never failed except in two cases (both thunder humor). He has now in his possession over two hundred certificates of its value, all within twenty miles of Boston.

A benefit is always experienced from the first bottle, and a perfect cure is warranted when the right quantity is taken.

When the lungs are affected it causes shooting pains, like needles passing through them; the same with the Liver or Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being stopped, and always disappears in a week after taking it.

If the stomach is foul or bilious it will cause squeamish feelings at first.

No change of diet ever necessary. Eat the best you can get, and enough of it Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bed-time. Read the Label. Send for Book.

The “Charmer” Pea

Pleases Everybody Because:—Very Productive; Highest Quality; Fine Flavor; Staying Qualities; Great Merit; Deep Green Color, Large Peas, Closely Packed; Nine in a Pod.

This new variety of large podded, handsome Table Pea, introduced by us, jumped at a bound into instantaneous favor all over the United States.

The plants stand from three and a half feet to four feed high, and bear large, long pods, mostly in pairs, which are packed remarkably close with flattened, greenish-white, wrinkled peas, and these, when cooked, are of the finest flavor and color. The weight of the Pea compared to the pod is much greater than usual, producing more shelled peas than any other variety.

In season it follows Little Gem and comes before Champion of England. Both for the market and family garden this Pea will be found of the highest merit.

Everybody is charmed with this variety, and whether for private use or marketing, a liberal quantity should be planted.

=Price, per packet 10 cents; per pint 30 cents; per quart 50 cents.=

Vick’s Pea, King of the Dwarfs.

This new seedling, introduced by us, in season follows closely McLean’s Little Gem, coming into market in the space intervening between the early and the late varieties. The vines are sturdy and remarkably vigorous, growing about two inches taller than the Little Gem, and bearing a profusion of pods and Peas in the pod, with all of the principal dwarf varieties, including the American Wonder, we find that the King of the Dwarfs outyields them all by 20 per cent., all planted at the same time, on the same soil, with equal cultivation.

It is a cross between American Wonder and McLean’s Little Gem, and is the most promising of forty different seedlings. In flavor it is unsurpassed.

=Price, per packet 15 cents; per pint 75 cents; per quart $1.25.=
