NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES IN VEG- 

 ETABLE SEEDS, 1909. 



CHICORY, FARQDHAR'S RUBY LEAF. Not only is this one of the most delicious 

 and delicate salads, but the bright ruby-red, translucent leaves give to the salad 

 when prepared a novel and fascinating appearance. Pkt., .25; oz., .75. 



CHICORY, FARQDHAR'S CARMINE STRIPED. This new Chicory, like the pre- 

 ceding, is of delicious quality. The leaves when blanched are creamy white striped 

 with bright carmine, and in eflect are charming, whether served alone or in com- 

 bination with other salads. Pkt., .25; oz., .75. 



LETTUCE, EXPRESS COS. Early-heading Romaine. A crisp and tender tall- 

 growing Lettuce. It is very compact, entirely self-folding, and withstands heat 

 and drought admirably. It is also valuable for forcing. Pkt., .10; oz., .50. 



MUSK MELON, Fapquhar's Honey Drop. Extra Selected. This is a re- 

 selected strain of our famous melon. The vines are exceedingly strong, bearing an 

 abundance of fruit during the entire season. The flesh is very thick, of a rich 

 orange color, ripening clear to the rind. It is of large size, and of very sweet, de- 

 licious flavor. Pkt., .25; oz., $1.00. 



TOMATO. FARQDHAR'S BOUNTIFUL. A new forcing Tomato of superior 

 flavor, perfect in shape, of good size, and setting freely. The fruits are bright red 

 in coloi-, very solid, and grow in clusters of 10 to 12. This variety was awarded a 

 First Class Certificate by the Mass. Hort. Society, when exhibited last spring as 

 " Farquhar's New Tomato," and was pronounced by the judges to be the finest 

 dish of indoor Tomatoes they had seen. Pkt., .50. 



KAN UDO SALAD. {Aralia cordata.) The tender young shoots of this ornamental 

 plant are used extensively in Japan, both as a salad and as a boiled vegetable. The 

 roots require the same treatment as Asparagus and as Sea Kale in the forcing lied. 

 The tender growth is the part used for the salad. Strong forcing roots. 

 Doz., .$2.00 ; per 100, $15.00. Delivery January to March only.
