16 PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—VEGETABLE SEED NOVELTIES. 
‘> NEW PEPPER, 4° 
— 
5 County Fair.” 8} 
Trom all sections of the country we 
have had good reports of this variety, 
which we introduced last season. Itis 
undoubtedly the best of all this class 
of Peppers, being thicker in flesh than 
any other sort and enormously pro- 
ductive. Peppers of this ‘ horn” 
shape, aS arule, are hot and biting, but 
the County Fair is particularly sweet 
and mild. We try to be moderate both 
in engravings and descriptions of 
novelties that we introduce, but we must say that in this case we have 
gone to the other extreme and have failed to portray by our engraving the hand- 
some appearance of this great acquisition. 
This variety has been grown onalarge scale for years by one ofthe most practical | 
and intelligent of New Jersey’s farmers, and although he has tried all others he New Pea ae | uno 9 
has found nothing to equal in quality and productiveness the ‘‘ County Fair.” 9 °

field culture, and we have no hesitation in saying that 
it is by far the best wrinkled Pea of its class to-day. 
It differs from the Heroine in that it has a more 
_ robust vine and has stout, STRAIGHT pods, usually 
borne in pairs. It is noticeable that the podsare very 
thick, broad-backed all the way up and filled from the 
stem to the tips with seven to nine sweet, delicious 
DARK green Peas of immense size. Its height is two 
feet, and its season from medium early to main crop. 
Altogether, we are satisfied it is a Pea that is destined

Long |sland White Bush Squash 
A few years ago, one of the most prominent Long 
Island market gardeners brought into our store speci- 
mens of a Squash which he had been growing for sey- 
eral years, and which he found would sell in the New 
= York markets at higher prices than any other sort. 
+ It was a selection of the old White Bush Seallop, and 
a vast improvement, having less prominent ridges and 
being much deeper, so that a single Squash would 
= actually contain nearly twice as much weight as the 
old sort. In addition to this, it is of finer quality 
and very prolific. We can strongly recommend this 
variety both for the market gardener and the amateur.
