New Bush Squash, " Silver Custard. ,, 



Five years ago we introduced the Golden Custard Bush Squash, which has now become 

 a standard sort. Since then we have been working to secure a fitting companion to it, 

 white in color and with all its good qualities. This has been obtained in this variety, 

 which grows to an immense size, often producing single squashes 18 inches in diameter, 

 of a delicate white color, and of finest quality. Very productive 

 and handsome, and specially desirable for small gardens from its 

 bush habit. {See cut.) 15c. pkt. ; 2 pkts. for 25c. ; 10 pkts. for $1.00. 



New Water Melon, 



"COLE'S EARLY." 



A watermelon which will invariably mature in any of the States 

 where the season is as long as that of New York. It is the finest 

 every-day melon for the amateur that we have ever seen ; a sure 

 cropper, and extremely delicate in texture of flesh, which is of a 

 dark red color ; the rind is thin, and the quality of the flesh is sus- 

 tained clear to the rind. It is, however, exceedingly brittle, hence 

 not desirable for shipping purposes, but, possessing all the other 

 most desirable features, we can highly recommend it for home use. 

 The melons are of medium size, nearly round in shape ; green, 

 striped with lighter shades. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 30c. oz.,80c. l£ lb., 

 $2.50 lb. 



New Potato, "Early Norther." 



We do not claim that this is the most wonderful potato ever 

 known, but when we state that it is several days earlier than the 

 EARLY ROSE, and equally prolific, it will be at once seen that 

 the EARLY NORTHER is a most desirable sort. It is a strong, 

 vigorous grower, and the potatoes are bunched well together in 

 the hills. In shape it resembles the Early Hose, but is a little 

 longer ; the eyes are few and shallow. Its table qualities can- 

 not be excelled, cooking dry and floury, whether baked or j 

 boiled. This variety has been very thoroughly tested ii 

 various sections of the country, and, like its prototype, th< 

 Early Rose, seems to do well everywhere. We can recom 

 mend it with confidence, and offer it at a very reasonabh 

 price, considering the great scarcity of seed potatoes this 

 season. [See cut.) $1.00 pk., $3.00 bush., $6.00 bbl.
