CURRIE BROTHERS' HORTICULTURAL GUIDE. 



CIIKAM CITY TOMATO. 



ALL SOLID RADISH. 



The Most Perfect Summer Radish on the 



Market. Does Not Become Pithy. 



Flesli Firm and Solid. 



A Turnip shaped variety resembling 

 the old Gray Summer Turnip Radish in 

 color and shape, but much superior to it 

 in keeping qualities. Summer radishes 

 have always been difficult to get perfect- 

 l.y solid. During the hot summer months 

 they have a tendency to become more or 

 less pithy and hollow before attaining 

 their full size. In our All Solid we have 

 a perfect summer radish, growing to a 

 large size. It is always solid, never be- 

 coming pithy or hollow. Tlie flesh is 

 white, firm, crisp and tender to the end 

 of the season, and it is without doubt 

 the best of all summer radishes.

RED HOLLANDER CABBAGE. 



A Sure Header. Heads Large, Firm, 

 and Solid. Keeps Longer Than 

 Any Other. 



The finest red cabbage yet introduced. 

 It is exactly the same in habit of growth 

 as tlie White Hollander. The heads are 

 large and remarkably solid, with few 

 outside loose leaves; color deep red 

 throughout. It is a sure cropper, and 

 by far the best keeper for winter and 

 spring sales. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 40cts.; 

 %\h., $1.25; lib., $4.00. 



EXTKA SELECT I.AROE S.MOOTU PHAGUE. 



CELERIAC. 



(Turnip-Rooted Celery.) 



Extra Select Large Smooth Prague. 



The Market Gardener's Strain. 



The extra select stock of root Celery fur- 

 nished by us for the last few seasons has 

 proved to be more than we claimed for it, 

 indeed it is a stock of exceptional merit. 

 The plant grows quite uniform and is free 

 from wild plants which will not form bulbs. 

 The roots are of large size, perfectly round 

 in shape, very solid and entirely free from 

 side roots. Pkt., lO'cts.; oz., 25 cts.; H lb., 

 75 cts.; 1 lb., $2.50. 



CREAM CITY TOMATO. 



The First Large Tomato to Ripen. 



Remarkably Prolific. 



Flesh Thick and Solid. 



In this new Tomato we have a variety of exceptional 

 merit, coming into use as early as Early Ruby and other small 

 and unshapely extra early sorts. It is perfectlj' smooth and 

 symmetrical in shape and as large as Perfection. The plants 

 are strong and vigorous, bearing an abundance of large 

 smooth fruit of a beautiful purplish crimson color. The flesh 

 is remarkably thick, firm and solid, and of very fine quality, 

 with very few seeds. It is an excellent shipper. Does not crack 

 or rot, as is the case with many of the old sorts. 



The Cream City is the most profitable Tomato for the 

 market gardener and trucker, and is unsurpassed for canning 

 purposes. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 50 cts.; H lb., $1.75. 



CABBAGE. 



EARLY SPRING. 



The great value of this Extra Early Cab- 

 bage is that it is a true flat-headed sort. 

 Planted on the same day as Early Jersey 

 Wakefield, it was ready to cut with it and 

 produced heads twice the weight of Wake- 

 field. It is very solid and regular in shape, 

 has few outside leaves, and possesses a very 

 fine texture and flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 

 40 cts.; % lb., $1.25 ; lib., f 4.00. 



New Early Cabbage 



''ALPHA." 



In this new Cabbage we have a. variety 

 of exceptional merit. The introducer thus 

 describee it : " Its general character is that 

 of Flat Dutch, but it is earlier and specially 

 remarkable for its solidity and freedom 

 from superfluous or waste leaves. The 

 heads are from six to eight inches in diam- 

 eter, and are rarely more than six or seven 

 inches from the ground. Owing to the 

 habit of compact growth they may be 

 planted as close as ten inches apart in the 

 row, and the rows need not be more than 

 two feet apart. In comparison with Early 

 Jersey Wakefield sown and transplanted at 

 the same time, it produces heads fit for 

 marketing several days before that famous 

 early cabbage. In solidity it compares witli 

 the Danish Ball Head."
