 Musk Melon. 



The Best Melon 

 For the Market Gardener. 



Exceedingly Prolific. Strong Vigorous Grower. 

 Unsurpassed in Flavor. 



In this we have a Melon combining more good qualitiet 

 than any other now on the market. It is a wonderfnllj 

 luxuriant grower, exceedingly productive and especiallj 

 fine flavored. It Is very attractive in appearance, medium 

 in size and ripens medium early. The flesh is a deep salmon 

 color, thick, firm and solid, and possesses a rich aromatic 

 flavor. The fruit is very uniform in size, and every melon is 

 a good one, sweet and luscious to the rind. In addition to 

 Its many other good qualities it is an excellent shipper. It 

 is remarkably perfect in form, slightly oval shaped, and 

 handsomely netted, .is a market gardeners' melon we 

 believe it has no equal.

NEW LARGE PODDED FIRST EARLY PEA, 



77 



The Earliest Wrinkled Pea. Equal in qualify to the best of the late wrinkled sorts. Pods and Peas as large as Telephone. 

 Unsurpassed in quality. Coming into use early in June, as soon as the small round early sorts. 



This Is certainly the finest Wrinkled Pea yet introduced, coming in with the First Earlies. with pods double the size. 



This fine new Pea was raised by crossing "Gradus" with a very early seedling of the "Earliest of AH" type. In earliness it is within a day or two 

 of "Challenge Extra Early." The pods are a rich dark green, straight and square ended, and contain on the average 7 to 8 very large marrow peas of the 

 richest flavor. We consider It superior to, and likely to supersede that fine early pea "G-Tadus." being hardier in constitution, darker in color and a better yjeidei. 



It is a reliable market gardeners' as well as private gardeners' Pea, and will undoubtedly take the same place among earlies as does "Telephone" among 

 late sorts. Pkt., 20 cts.; pint, 40 cts.; quart, 75 cts. 



Crimson Globe Beet. 



This we consider the best of all the first early 

 turnip-rooted beets. It is perfectly round and 

 smooth, averaging about three inches in diameter, 

 with a small tap root. The color of the flesh is 

 a rich deep purple throughout, with no trace of 

 white or streakiness, and is unsurpassed in flavor. 

 The leaves are small and beautifully colored, add- 

 ing very much to the attractivness of the garden. 



Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; V*. lb., 25 cts.; 1 lb., 

 75 cts.

New White Radish "ICICLE." 



An early long pure white Kadish, coming Into 

 use fully as early as Long Scarlet Short Top. It is 

 quite superior to any of the old long white varieties, 

 possessing as It does all the excellent characteristics 

 of the earliest forcing sorts, making it a most desir- 

 able sort for early greenhouse and hot-bed use. 

 Grown in the open ground, it comes in very early, re- 

 taining its crispness and mild flavor later in the 

 season than any other early radish. The roots are 

 slender and tapering, growing from four to six inches 

 in length, and are equal if not superior to the long 

 scarlet varieties. Sown with White Vienna, it is ready 

 for use much earlier, is quite as crisp and tender, and 

 does not rot as readily in heavy wet soils. 



Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; %lb., iO cts.; 1 lb., $1.25.
