Lettuce, Longstander Bronze Head. Johnson &" Stokes. 



A long-standing sort with compact head and golden bronze color. 



— Sunset. Henderson. 



It forms large, solid heads, of a rich golden yellow, a shade of color 

 hitherto unknown in this class of lettuce. It stands very long before 

 going to seed, and is also an excellent keeper after being cut. 



— Trianon Cos. Henderson. 



Long, narrow leaves, which form solid heads, almost like a Wake- 

 field cabbage, which bleach and quickly become snowy white. The 

 cos lettuces excel all others in quality, having a taste and crispness 

 unequalled. The leaves, when bleached, are stiff like celery stalks, 

 and can be eaten in the same manner.

 Melothria punctata, or African Oak-leaved Climber. He?i-

A rapid growing climbing annual from South Africa. The leaves 

 are palmate (or palm-shaped) and of a bright refreshing green, and 

 it grows so luxuriantly that it is difficult to penetrate it with the hand. 

 Flowers are succeeded by great numbers of blue-brown berries. 



Momordica involucrata, or New Red Balsam Apple. He7i- 

 derson. 



Climber from the mountains of Natal. The vines are strong, with 

 vivid green, deeply cut foliage. The flowers are borne in profusion 

 and are very large ; some are creamy white, dotted with black, and 

 others pure white with red pistils. The flowers are succeeded by 

 beautiful sulphur-yellow fruits two inches long, which change to rich 

 carmine scarlet ; when ripe they burst and show the seeds of blood- 

 red color. The fruits and flowers are borne on the vine at the same 

 time.
