Heart O'Gold is a very distinct sort which has 

 been carefully and thoroughly tested. Fully 

 appreciating the worth of the many useful varieties 

 already in cultivation, we introduce this sort feel- 

 ing confident that it will prove of good and lasting 

 value and be a decided acquisition. The vines are 

 strong, vigorous and healthy, which enables it to 

 resist the ravages of borers successfully. It Is 

 also very prolific, owing to its strong gro\vth and 

 freedom in setting fruit. Our illustration gives 

 a good idea of its general appearance. The color 

 of the fruit is a rich reddish orange and the shape 

 is not only attractive, but economical in cutting, 

 there being little or no waste. The fiesh is very 

 deep, with small seed cavity, of excellent quality, 

 either for pies or as a vegetable. We advise all 

 patrons to give it a trial. (See cut.) 10c. pkt.,

THREE ^^ROCKET" RADISHES^ 



THE illustration gives an excellent idea of these splendid 

 new Ridiphes. A dish composed of these three 

 Rocket Radishes, prepared for the table, presents 

 a most attractive appearance, and we advise every lover 

 of this vegetable to grow some of each. In addition to their 

 bright appearance, it is necessary to state that they are ab- 

 solutely the earliest varieties grown; they mature at ex- 

 actly the same time, and grow so quickly that they never 

 lake on that strong, rank flavor which we associate with 

 the later varieties. 



RED ROCKET. This variety has a very small top, which 

 permits close planting — a great advantage when grown 

 under glass — the bulb is smooth, deep scarlet in color, 

 with a very small root. The flesh is crisp, and of good 

 flavor. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. J^ lb. 

 WHITE ROCKET. A trifle heavier than Bed Rocket. It 

 has an equally small top ; the bulb is pure white while the 

 color of the flesh Is distinct, being of a clear waxy white. 

 (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. ^ lb. 

 WHITE TIPPED ROCKIET. This is the ideal first early 

 Radish. For many years the old French Breakfast has 

 held a foremost place among all the varieties offered. We 

 have now to offer a sort that possesses all of its merits, 

 and, in addition, extreme earliness. The color is deep 

 rose, tipped white at the base. The flavor is deliciously 

 mild. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 15c. oz., 40c. ^ lb.
