Radish. 
Wii This white form 
AAU of our old favorite 
ANG z = Chartier is, of 
35 — course, a Summer 
WZ Radish, succeeding 
best when treated 
pir 2 Ch as such. It matures 
in about forty days from time of sowing and remains fit for use for about fourteen 
days after. The flesh is crisp, tender, pure white, and the bulb is free from any 
roughness. The flavor is mild and it is invaluable for slicing. The tops are short 
and it matures a little earlier than the old Chartier, and is in every respect 
most desirable. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 60c. 14 Ib., $2.00 lb. 
Menderson’s Rose Turnip Radish. 
This is one of the best and most beautiful Radishes we have ever seen. 
It is similar to the round early varieties in shape and size, and has every 
feature of good selection, such asasmall, compact top and a miniature 
root. It is very early, requiring only twenty-three days to mature it, 
and remains in good condition for ten days, even in a trying season. Its 
tenderness and delicate flavor, added to its charming rosy pink color, 
render it very attractive when bunched, and incomparable for the table.

Yellow Oval-shaped Radish. 
The introduction of this variety marks an improvement in a type of 
Radish which has been greatly undervalued, every one of the yellow 
varieties cultivated being excellent. This variety has very small leaves 
and few of them, and these taper down 
gradually to the neck, which is quite 
small. It matures in thirty days from 
time of sowing, and it preserves its crisp-

For both 
Summer and Winter use. 
The most deliciously 
flavored Squash grown. 
Dry, Sweet and Rich. 
Wonderfully Prolific. 
The exterior of this beautiful Squash is orange yellow, splashed and striped 
with dark green. The fleshis rich and dry; the quality is particularly fine. 
For private use we can recommend it as surpassing in richness of flavor any of 
the large, old-fashioned sorts. The Delicata is the earliest of any vine Squash 
thatwe have ever tested, and is so prolific that last season, fromtwelve hills of two 
plants each, 352 perfect Squashes were gathered. Although of small size, this 
variety is wonderfully solid and heavy, the seed cavities being very small. It is 
also extremely early, maturing about the same time as the Summer Squashes, 
and for early use will doubtless supplant this class on account of its superior 
dryness and flavor, while its extreme solidity renders it fully as good a keeper 
as any of the winter varieties. (See cut.) Price, 10c. per pkt., 30c. per

the common sorts, the average length being eighteen inches to two feet, 
and they often weigh five andsix pounds each. The cream-colored exterior 
is very attractive. Although so much larger than the old variety, it is 
equally early and very productive; flesh dry and of a most agreeable
