LONG ISLAND BUSH SQUASH. 



A selection of the old T^"hite Bush Scollop and a vast improvement, having less ridges, 

 and being much deeper, so that a single squash would actually contain nearly twice as 

 much weight as the old sort. Per packet, 5 cents ; ounce, 10 cents. 



THE STRICKLER SUMMER SQUASH. 



An early, long, warted variety of Summer Crookneck, growing to 5 or 6 pounds in 

 "weight. Per packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents. 



THE WARREN SQUASH. 



Originated in a field of Essex Hybrid. Squashes. Has a darker and richer color than 

 the Essex, and is a very hard-shelled, good-keeping Squash. The flesh is thick and quality 

 excellent. The warty appearance o§f the shell — deep orange color — and uniformly 

 marketable size of this variety will insure its popularity. It is, indeed, a valuable im- 

 provement. Per pound, 75 cents ; ounce, 10 cents ; packet, 5 cents. 



MAYS FAVORITE NEW TOMATO. 



We have obtained 

 froniMr. W.B.May 

 the original stock 

 seed of this invalu- 

 able, extra-early To- 

 mato. It is the 

 earliest, roundest, 

 smoothest and best 

 for first crop, and 

 our opinion of it is 

 sustained by reports 

 from many promi- 

 nent growers who 

 Lave tested it very 

 carefully alongside 

 of other prominent 

 sorts, all of which 

 Lave been discarded 

 for May's Favorite. 

 It is admirably 

 adapted for first 

 crops w here both 

 quantity and quality 

 are desired very 

 early in the season. 

 This variety can be 

 had true only of us, 

 as will be seen from the following letter : 



" Hartford, Conn., Oct. 26. Messrs. R. & J. Farquhar & Co. :— Herewith I send you all my origi- 

 nal stock seed of May's Favorite Tomato. This is without question the best all round early tomato in 

 existence." 



Our stock of seed was raised from this seed from the ori<rinator. We solicit early 

 orders from our regular customers. Per liberal packet, 10 cts. ; per ounce, 40 cts.
