ARLINGTON TENNISBALL LETTUCE. 



Moore's Prize Stock. Seed Grown by Mr. Moore. 



This Lettuce is the result of several years' careful selection by one of the best 

 growers for Boston market, who has made the perfecting of the Lettuce his specialty and 

 study. This strain has taken first premiums for two years at the exhibitions of the 

 Massachusetts Horticultural Society, over all competitors. It is one of the earliest 

 grown. The heads are of beautiful form, large, solid, and of remarkably crisp and 

 tender quality. It remains m tine condition for use during hot weather, long after other 

 varieties have run up to seed. No variety grown will give better satisfaction to the 

 private grower or market gardener ; and as most dealers now sell only California-grown 

 Lettuce Seed, so unsuited for this climate, it may be well to take account of the value of 

 & strain of pure seed which bears such high recommendations. 



This line Lettuce has given great satisfaction to hundreds of customers who had it 

 from us last season. Per liberal packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; i^ pound, $1.

 lent. Per packet, 5 cents ; ounce, 40 cents.

FARQUHARS' 

 j HONEY-DROP 



MELON. 11 



As regards fine flavor, we claim first 

 place for this Melon. Flavor, and not size 

 alone, is the desideratum in the Melon fam- 

 ily ; and in the Honey-Dkop we have fair 

 average size, extra fine melting flavor, 

 great earliness, and great productiveness. 



The fiesh is very thick and of a rich 

 yellow color. For the table it is by far 

 the sweetest and best Melon to grow. 

 Feyar^., 25 cts ; liberal packet, 10 cts.

Raised by a noted local Melon grower 

 and grown l)y him for his oAvn table to the 

 exclusion of all others. It is of medium 



FAKQUHAK3' HONEY-DEOP MELON. 



Size, finely netted, green fleshed, and so thickly meated that there is but little room for 

 the seed. It is very early and yields most abundantly. Per ounce, 30 cents : per packet 

 10 cents.
