NEW EARLY HACKENSACK MUSK MELON. 



New Early Hackensack Musk Melon. 



Near Hackensack, N. J., within a short distance of New 

 York, the growing of Musk Melons is carried on to a large 

 extent. It was in this section that the now famous Hackensack 

 Musk Melon, which we were the first to distribute generally, 

 throughout the country, was originated. Five years ago a large 

 melon grower at Hackensack called our attention to a selection 

 or improvement which had been made, by which was obtained 

 a melon almost equal in size to the Hackensack, and at least ten 

 days earlier. Four years' thorough trial of this variety have 

 proven it to be the best as well as the earliest of all the netted 

 melons. In shape and color the New Early Hackensack is 

 similar to the Hackensack, the only difference being its greater 

 earliness. The melons weigh from four to ten pounds each, 

 and are of delicious flavor. {See cut.) 10 cts. pkt. ; 25 cts. oz.; 

 50 cts. i lb.; $1.50 lb. 



lapid forcing Radish. 



(Novelty, 1890.) 



Our illustration gives a good idea of this fine variety. It 

 resembles the Scarlet Turnip, White Tipped variety, but is 

 much earlier, coming to maturity in 22 days from the time of 

 sowing, and having very small tops will prove to be the 

 Radish for forcing purposes. Being very handsome and of 

 fine quality, it is equally desirable for the garden. (See cut.) 

 Price, 1 5 cts. per pkt. ; 40 cts, per cz.

Early luby f oiato. 



This is likely to prove one of the 

 most distinct and valuable varieties ever 

 introduced, as it is the first really early 

 variety of large size. It is similar in size 

 and color to Livingston's Perfection, but 

 is at least two weeks earlier. Its style of 

 growth is (as shown in cut) very open, the 

 fruit being produced close to the main 

 stem; this pecularity of growth enables the 

 sun to reach and ripen the fruit, hence its 

 great earliness. (See cut.) 



Price, 20c. per pkt.; 6 pkts. for $1.00.
