BALTIMORE MUSK MELON. 



BALTIMORE MU3K MELON— SECTIONAL VIEW. 



A very productive and excellent shipping Musk Melon, and a variety that is always to be found in its season in the 

 "best hotels and restaurants in New York. Philadelphia and Baltimore. The illustrations will give a good idea of its form 

 and the relative thickness of its flesh, to which is only to be added that it is a green fleshed sort of the most delicious flavor. 



10 cts. per pkt. ; 20 ets. per oz. ; 60 cts. per % lb. ; $\00 per lb. 



H #w SpaMsta Sweet Wm^pmw* 



" Pimiento Dulce." 



Mr. Edward Belknap, of Powhatan Co., Va., kindly supplied us with seeds of this Spanish Sweet Pepper, and as it has 

 done so well with us we feel warranted in offering it for sale. Mr. Belknap informs us that this Pepper, which conies from 

 Valencia, is universally used in Spain, quite as much if not more *han the Tomato, both for canning and cooking purposes. 

 Am ng the better classes it forms a part of every stewed dish, and the poorest use it daily in the season, cut in pieces and 

 fried. There are two varieties of Spanish Sweet Pepper grown in Spain, both equally esteemed. In the variety we offer (from 

 Valencia), the fruit, when ripe, is from t'mr to five inches long, coral red, and pointed at the end. The foliage and habit of 

 the plants of this Pepper are quite differ' nt from the sorts we have so long been growing in this couutry, but the same 

 cultural treatment will be found sufficient. 



Price, 25 cts. per pkt. ; 5 pkts. for $1.00. 





Mammoth Ironclad Water Melon. 



Ironcladi Wattf Hf #l@nu 



A variety of undoubted excellence, of large size and weight, crops of it averaging nearly 50 lbs. each. The flesh is deep 

 Ted and of a delicious rich flavor, holding its fine quality very close to the skin. In outside appearance it is somewhat like 

 the Gypsy, but there the resemblance ends. For shipping and keeping qualities the Ironclad is unsurpassed. The vines are 

 strong growing, and altogether it is a most valuable acquisition. 



10 cts. per pkt. ; 25 cts. per oz. ; 75 cts. per V lb. ; $2.50 per lb. 



I shall plant Henderson's First of All Peas entirely this year for first crop.
