PETER HENDERSON & CO'S VEGETABLE SEED NOVELTIES. 



Hickox Improved Sugar Corn. 



Not a novelty this year, but a variety of such excellence, that we have deemed it worthy of a special reference. 

 The ears are twelve rowed, straight and handsome ; kernels of good size and very sweet. (See Cut.) 



20 cts. per qt.; $1 50 per peck. 



Squantum Sugar Corn. 



A variety of Sugar Corn in great favor with the well-known Squantum Club, of Silver Spring, R. I., and used 

 almost exclusively by them in their famous clambakes. It is about as early as the Moore's Concord, the ears being the 

 same size. Its quality is of the best. Very sweet and wonderfully productive, producing 4 to 5 ears on a stalk. 

 Early orders are advisable ; last year we sold out of this by March. 



30 eta. per qt.; $2 00 per peck. 



Early Marblehead Sugar Corn. 



This variety is as early, if not a little earlier, than any of the existing sorts of Sugar Corn. In general appearance 

 it closely resembles the well-known Early Narragansett. The stalk is dwarf and it sets its ears very low down, 

 whicli are of fair market size, and of very sweet, rich flavor. 



20 cts. per qt.; $1 50 per peck.

White Seeded Ice Cream Water Melon. 



(true.) 



For quality there is no Water Melon grown can equal this. It is not new _by any means, but it possesses such 

 delicious flavor, and so many other essential good qualities, 

 that we bring it to the front. The fruit is of medium size, nearly 

 round, skin pale green, thin rind, flesh scarlet, solid, tender and 

 delicious.

Cuban Queen Water Melon. 



Our engraving will best illustrate what this widely advertised 

 and extensively grown melon is like. The markings of light and 

 dark green are regular and distinct. The quality is equal to the 

 best of any of the sorts, while its solidity is so marked that it will 

 weigh at least one-third more than melons of the same size of 

 other varieties, specimens often attaining a weight of 80 lbs. and 

 upward. (See cut.)
