The Finest Melon Ever Introduced. 



SWEET AIR CANTALOUPE 



We know from what we have seen of this melon for the past 

 four seasons that we cannot speak too highly of this melon. 

 It is the sweetest, finest flavored, juiciest and best melon 

 ever offered. 



It is a little larger than the Rocky Ford, well netted, 

 THICK GREEN FLESH, small seed cavity. It has readily 

 sold every season for $1.00 more per crate than any other 

 melon, and has always cut sweet. When the other standard 

 sorts have been flat to the taste this has been perfect in 

 sweetness. Last year our trade offered us $5.00 per pound 

 for this seed. Restaurants demand it and will take no other 

 when they can get this one. 



It is prolific. The best to grow for profit; the best for 

 table; the best for restaurant; what more can we say. Com- 

 mission men fight for the chance to sell them, the buyer 

 fights for the chance to buy them, the public fights for the 

 chance to eat them. ALL SWEET should have been its 

 name, but it gets its name from the farm where it originated. 

 Price, 1 ounce, 15c; % pound., 40c; 1 pound, $1.25. 



Bolgiano's Extremely Early Prolific I. X. L. 

 Tomato 



In field test the I. X. L. proved to be the earliest of all 

 early tomatoes. The fruit was extremely abundant and large, 

 much superior to many of the much advertised sorts, in fact 

 much of the fruit was as large as the largest sorts of com- 

 mercial Tomatoes. It has an abundance of vine protecting 

 the fruit from scalding and the blossoms being knocked off 

 by heavy rains and winds. The I. X. L. is fast becoming the 

 leading Extremely Early Tomato. Its smoothness, uniform- 

 ity of size, brilliant red color, eveness of ripening, compact 

 growth and abundance of fruit will make it a money mak- 

 er for Gardener, 

 Packer and Home 

 Gardener. Why 

 experiment with 

 other sorts when this 



one is to be had. Price, Packet, 25 cents; 1 ounce, 50c; %. pound, $1.75; 1 pound, $6.00. 



Sweeney's Extra Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage 



This Cabbage has been grown by Mr. Harry B. Sweeney for a number of years. In size 

 and shape it is very similar to our SELECT EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD, possibly not 

 quite so large, but nearly so. It matures a week or ten days sooner than that variety, and 

 the whole crop is ready for the market within one week from the time of first cutting; in fact 

 it can be harvested all at the same time. Mr. Sweeney has made more money out of this 

 cabbage than any other. We got our stock from him, and believe that if our patrons take 

 this seed they will be more than satisfied. Price, packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 

 % pound, 80 cents; pound, $2.50. 



New Extremely Early Long Podded Alaska Peas 



Few introductions in the Pea line has created such a sensation as this new Pea. While 

 it is of the wrinkled variety, not quite so wrinkled as the Gradus. It is very hardy, and can 

 be planted at the same time as the Alaska. It will come at least five days earlier than 

 the Alaska and the pods will be nearly double the size of that well known variety. Abund- 

 ant in yield, and beautiful in color. This is bound to take the place of the old sort. Its 

 fine flavor alone should make it a leader. Price, % pint, 10 cents; 1 pint, 15 cents; 1 quart, 

 25 cents; gallon, 80 cents; peck, $1.50; bushel, $6.00. 



Bolgiano's New Wonder Lettuce 



It has solid round heads and will bear transportation better than almost any other variety. 

 For early spring planting in the open ground or under glass, it is unequalled. The plants 

 grow 6 to '/inches in diameter; the outer leaves are so closely folded the plant is practically 

 all head. It is hardy as well as very early, and a quick grower. Leaves are a light green, 

 and slightly crumpled, like Savoy Spinach; inner leaves a bright yellow. In flavor it is 

 particularly rich, buttery and tender. Bolgiano's Wonder has certainly been highly ap- 

 preciated wherever grown or tried, and is sure to become popular, both in home and mar- 

 ket gardens. Price, ounce, 20 cents; 2 ounces, 35 cents; % pound, 65 cents; pound, $2.50. 



Farr's White Bush Squash 



This type of White Bush Squash has long been recognized as the earliest squash on the 

 market. Mr. Charles N. Farr and his family have beed perfecting this squash for years. 

 We can not recommend it too highly. We feel that if you want earliness and beauty you 

 cannot go astray in buying this stock. The earliest squash that have come to this market 

 from local gardeners for the past fifteen years have been from this stock. Fine in appear- 

 ance, of light green color. Packet, 10 cents; % pound, 20 cents; 1 pound, 60 cents. 



White Stone Head Cabbage. Finest, earliest flat head cabbage yet introduced. Medium 

 size, growing from 5 to 7 lbs.; finest possible flavor, fine ribbed leaves and as hard as Stone. 

 This will surely be a leader on the eastern markets. Price, ounce, 25c; % lb.75c;T lb. $2. 50.
