PETER HENDERSON & CO'S VEGETABLE SEED NOVELTIES. 



NEW MUSK MELON — ORANGE CREAM. 



New Musk Melon, 

 Burpee's Orange Cream. 



Entirely new and distinct. As the illustration shows, 

 the melons are globe-shaped and thickly netted. The 

 netting is so dense that scarcely a pin's head can be put 

 between the meshes. The melons weigh from 2 to 3 

 lbs. each and are very uniform both in size and shape. 

 The meat is very thick , of a beautiful deep salmon color 

 and of exquisite flavor. The musky aroma of this melon 

 is such that a single specimen will perfume a large room. 

 For the table this variety will prove particularly attrac- 

 tive on account of the strong contrast in color between 

 the skin and the flesh. 



25 eta. per pkt.; 5 pkts. for $1 00.

MUSK MELON — CALIFORNIA NECTAR. 



California Nectar Musk Melon. 



All who were fortunate enough to taste this new 

 variety at our place the past summer, unite in pronounc- 

 ing it one of the most delicious flavored of melons. It 

 is of very fair productiveness, medium early, and attains 

 a good size, often 12 lbs. and over. The flesh is very 

 thick, sweet and juicy, and of unsurpassed flavor. The 

 habit of the plant is strong and vigorous, and taken 

 altogether is one of the very best varieties in cultivation. 

 (See Cut.) 



15 cts. per pkt: 40 cts. per oz.; $1 25 per ± lb. 



LAXTON S MINIMUM PEA. 



Laxton's Minimum Pea. 



Our illustration will give a very fair idea of this very 

 distinct variety. It is a while wrinkled sort ; a prodigious 

 bearer, exceedingly early and very dwarf, and of splendid 

 quality. From its low growth it will undoubtedly prove 

 to be one of the best varieties for forcing either in the 

 hot-bed or green house. 



15 cts. per packet : 40 cts. per quart. 



MARVEL PEA. 



A variety of quite recent in- 

 troduction, attaining a height of 

 3 feet, and a very prolific bearer, 

 producing white wrinkled peas 

 in handsome curved pods. It is 

 a main crop variety and of un- 

 equaled flavor. 



15 cts. per packet; 30 cts. per quart; $200 per peck,
