NEW LETTUCE, 



"Sunset." 



(Novelty, 1890.) 

 A head Lettuce of splendid quality, 

 with characteristics that commend it 

 to all. It forms large, solid heads, of 

 a rich golden yellow, a shade of color 

 hitherto unknown in this class of Let- 

 tuce. It stands very long before going 

 to seed, and is also an excellent keeper 

 after being cut, a quality which will 

 make it a desirable sort for shipping 

 purposes as well as for private use. 

 (See cut.) Price, 25 cts. per pkt. ; $1.50 

 per oz. ; $5.00 per V± lb. 



F^ew LietetaGe, "Big B§s1i@pi." 



:i;lei:y leti 



(Novelty, 1890.) 



This variety is identical in color, shape and general appear- 

 ance with the famous Boston Market Lettuce, but is double the 

 size. It is about one week later in maturing, but its solidity 

 and greater size of head will make it a most valuable sort. A 



most valuable 

 variety either 

 for forcing 

 or open 



New Cos or Celery Lettuce, 



" Trianon." 



(Novelty, 1890.) 

 This is the favorite class of Let- 

 tuces in Europe, and this variety 

 is the very finest of its class ; al- 

 ready they are becoming more 

 popular here. The long, narrow 

 leaves, which form solid heads, 

 almost like aYVakefield Cabbage, 

 bleach and quickly become snowy 

 ■white. They excel all other Let- 

 tuces in quality, having a taste 

 and crispness unequaled. Tin' 

 leaves when bleached are stiff like 

 Celery stalks and can be eaten 

 in the same manner. (See cut.) 

 Price, 25 cts. per pkt. ; $1.50 per 

 oz. ; $5.00 per y 4 lb. 



NEW MUSK MELON, 



The " Delnionico." 



Last season, owing to the excessive rains 

 was a most unfavorable one for Melons of all kinds; but in every section where 

 it had a fair chance, the "Delmonico" gave great satisfaction. It is an oval 

 Melon of large size and deeply netted. The flesh is an orange pink color of 



the same fine quality as the " Emer- 

 ald Gem." Mr. C. P. Coy, Waterloo, 

 Neb., probably the largest Melon 

 grower in the world, writes us that 

 the " Delmonico" was the only Musk 

 Melon of uniform good quality with 

 him last season. (See cut.) Price, 

 15 cts. per pkt.; 50c. per oz.; $1.50 

 per i^ lb.; $5.00 per 11). 



We exclusively 

 control this Novelty 

 this season. Every 

 package of the genuine is 

 sealed with our Trade 

 Mark Label. Any seed 

 , offered not so sealed 

 is spurious.

MEW WATEpELOpI, 



"Ruby Gold." 



(Novelty, 1890.) 

 A hot Seedling from Henderson's Green 

 and Gold. 

 This splendid new Melon is ii 

 hybrid seedling of the famous 

 "Green and Gold" Watermelon 

 which was introduced by us in 

 1888. It excels in beauty and 

 quality all other varieties. The 

 distinct dark markings as shown 

 in the engraving are the red 

 flesh, and the light shade shows 

 the yellow. The markings vary, 

 in some specimens the yellow predominating, and 

 in others the red. The "Euby Gold" averages 40 

 to 50 lbs. in weight, and is considered by the best 

 authorities to be the juiciest and finest flavored 

 Watermelon ever raised in Georgia. (See cut.) 20 

 cts. per pkt. ; 3 pkts. for 50 cts. ; 7 for $1.00.
