THE BOUQUET CELERY. 



This is not a new variety, but one of those really good things that have been overlooked. It 

 belongs to the same class as the Golden Dwarf, being equally solid and fine quality, with the addi- 

 tion of having beautifully curled or fringed foliage, M'hich renders it the most novel and showy of 

 Celeries. It makes a most beautiful table ornament, having the appearance of a foliage bouquet ; 

 hence the name. Unsurpassed in flavor. {See cut.) Price, 20 cts. per pkt. ; 6 pkts. for SI. 00 ; per 

 oz., S1.50. 



Onion, New Mammoth Pompeii. 



This is a very fine Italian variety, rivaling the large Silver King or Giant White Garganus in 

 ■weight. It has been known to produce onions weighing 4 to 5 lbs. each. The skin is a delicate red, 

 the flesh is close grained and nearly white. It is of a very mild flavor, and in sections where onions 

 can be sown during autumn, this variety, if transplanted in April, will attain a larger size than any 

 variety we know of. Price, 10 cts. per pkt. ; 30 cts. per oz. ; per 3^ lb. Sl.OO ; S3. 00 per lb. 



iAZHIXE BUNCH ONION. 



In looking over our Onion trials last summer, our attention was attracted to a very handsome 

 white onion, which we have illustrated here. It is of vigorous habit, and produces large, showy 

 onions of fine quality. This is not a good-keeping variety, but for bunching tor sale or using in 



THE BOUQUET CELEBY. 



New Adriatic Barletta 

 Onion. 



This is a very early, small, pure 

 ■white variety. The onions have 

 a very delicate silver skin, and 

 the flesh is as flrm and as mild in 

 flavor as any sort known to us. 

 But its great merit over all others 

 is its extreme earliness. When 

 •we mention that in our trial grounds 

 last season it came ahead of the 

 new "Queen" by three to four 

 "weeks, this alone will stamp it 

 as a very desirable acquisition to 

 our list of onions. For pickling 

 purposes we consider this variety 

 to be unexcelled.

NEW "JONAIHi" PUMPKIN. 



(Novelty 1 889.) 



A small quantity of this variety 

 •was sent us two years ago for trial; 

 part of the sam- 

 ple was placed 

 in our trial 

 grounds, and 

 part with one ; 

 of our most ex-j 

 perienced and! 

 intelligent grow- 

 ers of vine seeds. 

 Our opinion and 

 thatof ourgrower ^_^_ 



was that it is one of the finest varieties 

 ever introduced. It is a good keeper, 

 of large size, very prolific and ■w^onder- 

 fully smooth and even fleshed, being 

 completely free from that coarse 

 stringiness which most varieties have. 

 Very sweet ; the finest of all varieties 

 for pies. The cut gives an excellent 

 idea of its character. (See cut.) 

 Price, per pkt., 15 cts. ; 8 pkts. for $1.00.

WHrrE BUNCH ONION. 



HEW BADISH, " BED BOCEET, 



New Radish, 



"Red Rocket." 



(NOVELTY 1889.) 



This is one of the most 

 showy Radishes ever 

 offered. It is olive 

 shaped and of a brilliant 

 scarlet color. It is very 

 early, small topped and 

 rarelj- exceeds that 

 happy medium of size 

 so desirable in a radish 

 of this character. Valu- 

 able for forcing. Out of 

 a dozen new strains of 

 Radishes which we tested 

 last summer, the "Red 

 Rocket " was decidedly 

 the best in appearance, 

 quality and earliness.
