PETER HENDERSON & CO.— SEEDS OF SPECIAL MERIT. 



WOOD'S EARLY FRAME RADISH. 



Very often a variety of special value will be catalogued for years before its merits become generally known. The variety here- 

 offered, "Wood's Early Frame Radish, is a marked instance of tkis seeming neglect. Comparatively few growers are aware of the- 

 fact that it is over ten days earlier than the Long Scarlet Kadish, which it very much resembles, although not quite so long. Am 

 excellent variety for forcing. 5 cts. per pkt. ; 10 cts. per oz. ; 30 cts. per % lb. ; $1.00 per lb. 



TOMATO-THE CARDINAL. 



We offered this variety for sale in packets last season, and believe it 

 is sufficiently distinct and meritorious to offer it by weight. We append 

 herewith the description originally furnished by the introducers : 



"In color it is most remarkable, coloring right up to the calyx, and every 

 specimen of virtually one color, and that the most brilliant cardinal red, 

 very glossy, looking when ripe almost as if varnished. The flesh appears of 

 the same brilliant color, being scarcely any lighter. They make the hand- 

 somest sliced tomatoes imaginable, and have absolutely no green core, while 

 the thickness of the pulp is most remarkable. Its type is perfect, being 

 uniformly smooth, free from any ridges or corrugations. It is as early as 

 any good Tomato, and is much larger in size than the average. It is exceed- 

 ingly solid and of wonderful firmness. Eipe fruits picked in midsummer 

 have kept in fine condition from ten days to two weeks, and it is thought 

 that for shipping long distances it will prove a great acquisition to market 

 hardeners, particularly in the South ; and from its handsome appearance, it 

 must certainly command the highest price. It is of vigorous growth and yet 

 comparatively compact in habit, with strong stalks. It bears abundantly 

 throughout the season, and, weight of fruit considered, is the most produc- 

 tive variety known." 



10 cts. per pkt. ; 40 cts. per oz. ; $1.25 per \ lb. ; $4.00 per lb. , 



THE CARDINAL TOMATO. 



TOMATO-LIVINGSTON'S FAVORITE. 



This is the latest seedling sent out by Mr. Livingston, who 

 has already given us such standard and valuable sorts as Acme, 

 Paragon, and Perfection. It is one of the largest and most per- 

 fect shaped varieties in cultivation. Ripens evenly and early, 

 and holds its size to the end of the season. It is very prolific, 

 has few seeds, solid flesh, and bears shipping long distances. 



10 cts. per pkt; 40 cts. per oz.; $1.25 per % lb.; $4.00 per lb. 



(HALF SECTION), LIVINGSTON'S FAVOEITE TOMATO. 



SNOW-WHITE 

 OLIVE SHAPED TTJENIP. 



TOMATO-MAYFLOWER. 



This is perhaps the earliest large tomato grown. The shape is perfectly globular, slightly flattened and' 

 perfectly smooth. Of a glossy red color, and ripens perfectly and evenly close up to the stem. It is a 

 large yielder. aud its shipping qualities are excellent. 



10 cts. per pkt.; 30 cts. per oz. ; $1.00 per U lb.; $3.50 per lb. 



NEW TURNIP-SNOW-WHITE OLIVE SHAPED. 



A new white variety of the form shown in our illustration, and which possesses the distinction of being 

 exceedingly early, and of remarkably fine quality. Unsurpassed for table use. 



5 cts. per pkt.; 20 cts. per oz. ; 60 cts. per Ji lb.; $2.00 per lb. 



I send you a box of White Plume Celery exhibited at our State Fair. It is certainly a grand acquisition.
