OW Reet, Reine des ites. 
(Queen of Blacks.) 
A unique and beautiful variety, desirable both 
for its table qualities and ornamental foliage. 
The habit of this variety is very erect and its 
handsome foliage is a dark blood red,resembling 
in color a-dark variety of Dracena or Canna. 
The beet itself is full sized, dark crimson in 
color, and unexcelled in quality. (See cut.) 15 
cts. per pkt.; 7 pkts. for $1.00. 
ARLINGTON BEET. 
We can recommend this variety for both the 
amateur and the market gardener. It is some- 
what of the same style as Dewing’s Blood Turnip, 
but quite distinct, being rather flat and much 
earlier. As shown by the cut it is similar to 
the Eclipse in shape, but is darker and more 
desirable in color. The peculiar and distinctive 
feature of the Arlington Beet is the fact that it does 
not become bitter and stringy when it is a little old, 
as is the case with many other varieties. (See cut.) 10 
cts. per pkt.; 20 cts. per oz.; 50 ets. per 14 Ib.; $1.50 per lb.

3 8 We cannot speak too highly of the general good qualities of this 
Bean. In our trials we found it to be free from rust, larger in pod 
and more prolific than the old variety. It is also more handsome 
and robust and shows no string even when past its best. The or- with a very small 
dinary Golden Wax has been such a general favorite for many top, the foliage of 
years, that any improvement on it, as this is admitted to be, £$§ which is quite 
must be held as a boon to all. 30c. pt.; 50c. qt.; $2.25 peck; distinct. It ori- 
Lentz Beet. 
This is an extra 
early Turnip Beet 
$7.€0 bush. ginated with a 
market gardener 
near Philadelphia 
ARLINGTON afterwhom it was 
BEET, * 
named. It is 
about as early as Egyptian, | 
producing a crop in six 
weeks from time of planting, but is larger and of 
better quality. It keeps well and is productive.

SPECIMEN 
— IN 
GREEN STATE. 
A GRAND NEW 
MEDIUM EARLY SWEET CORN, 
Henderson's =. EVeroveel. 
This variety is a sport from Stowell’s Evergreen, “Gf 
which has long been the standard favorite in all 
parts of the country. It is a week or ten days 
earlier than that variety, and produces from three 
to four ears toa stalk. Theears areset low on the 
stalks, are very thick and regular in size, and are 
16-rowed, very deep and of delicious quality. This 
is a very distinct variety of corn in the dry state, the cob and kernels being a deep red color. 
One of our growers, who raised a portion of our stock of this novelty this past season, states 
that he is more favorably impressed with the Red Cob Evergreen than with any Sweet Corn 
he has grown in many years. Two of the points of merit mentioned above are confirmed in the =” 
strongest manner by this gentleman, 7.e., the extreme productiveness of this variety, and its 
distinctive characteristic of producing the ears low down on the stalks, which is always a 
desirable feature in a Sweet Corn. (See cut.) 15 cts. per pkt.; 40 cts. per pt.; 70 cts. per qt.
