RBD CI.USTER PEPPER. 



This is a new type of the Chili Eed, bearing a profusion of red clusters of peppers in an upright position. It forms a small compact 

 plant about a foot high, and when the peppers are matured presents a very ornamental appearance, and is worthy of a place in the 

 flower garden. Both peppers and leaves are small and thin, and so great is its productiveness, that a single plant has been known to 

 produce as many as 1,000 peppers, which are very pungent in flavor. Price, 15 cts. per pkt. ; 4 pkts. for 50 cts. 



The excelling features of this variety are its extreme solidity, heavy weight, fineness and dryness of grain, and sweetness of flavor. 

 It appears a trifle earlier than the "Essex Hybrid," the crop averaging smaller in size and more in number, making the productive- 

 ness in weight about the same. It also possesses an extremely hai-d, flinty shell, thus giving assurance of being an excellent keeper. 



The color of the shell is distinct from anything we have among the present varieties grown, being a blue shade with a peculiar 

 greenish tinge. This feature renders it especially valuable in markets where the demand is for a green winter squash ; the flesh, 

 however, is of a beautiful bright golden yellow, very hand- f-^w^^' 



some and a'tractlve in appearance, and exceedingly sweet 

 and tender in quality. Price, 10 cts. per pkt ; 40 cts. per oz. 



IMPROVED MAMMOTH 



Sandwich I^Iaqd^al^ifl 



[Oyster Plant.) 

 A newand improved type of this 

 excellent veg- 

 etable. It pro- 

 duces roots of 

 nearly double 

 the size and 

 weight of the 

 o 1 d variety, 

 and of equally 

 good quality. 

 Although of 

 recent intro- 

 duction, it has 

 been exten- 

 sively grown 

 for the mar- 

 kets of many 

 of the large 

 cities, and in 

 such instances 

 has entirely 

 supersededthe 

 old sort. {See 

 cut.) 

 Price, 15 cts.

{Novelty 1889.) 



The cut conveys a very good idea of this valuable new variety, which exceeds in size 

 any of the scalloped edged sorts, frequently attaining a diameter of 2 feet. The color is a 

 dark rich golden yellow, and for quality cannot be excelled. It grows in bush form as 

 shown in cut and is wonderfully productive. {See cut.) 



Price, 30 cts. per packet ; 4 packets for $1.00.

Burpee's Bread-Stone Tiiri. 



The illustration shows the shape of these Tur- 

 nips ; they are of medium size, very quick growing, 

 and the roots are very smooth and white with a 

 faint green top. The flesh is perfectly white, fine 

 grained and cooks in only fifteen minutes, remark- 

 ably tender, very sweet ; it is the finest Turnip for 

 winter and spring use we have ever seen. Thi 

 grower says : " Cooks very tender and fine grained 

 sweet enough and without the strong odor and 

 flavor so vei-y objectionable. My wife says it cooks 

 so very quickly that care is needed that it be not 

 spoiled by overcooking. It cooks done in about 

 the time required for a potato. It is good when 

 hai-vested in the fall, but its comparative merits do 

 not fully show up until spring, when other varie- 

 ties grow pithy, strong and uneatable." 



Price, 10 cts. per pkt. ; 25 cts. per oz. ; 75 cts.
