cauiHiower, ElUolt's Early Snowball 



We do not hesitate in saying that we are positive you will 

 find our strain of Snowball Cauliflower equal to stock offered by 

 any of our competitors. This sort will be found dwarf and com- 

 pact in growth, the heads large, snow-white and of superior 

 quality, the outer leaves short and few, allowing of close planting ; 

 also one of the very earliest and most reliable sorts. Under favor- 

 able conditions nearly everj' plant will make a fine, solid head of 

 good size, of pure white or creamy color, and mild, most delight- 

 ful flavor when cut at the right stage and properlj' prepared. It 

 succeeds well over a wide range of country, and we feel justified 

 in saying that a better strain of early Cauliflower is not found any- 

 where. Pkt. 25 cts., ^oz. 75 cts., oz. $2.50. 



Parsley, Curly Evergreen 



We consider that this variety has no equal either for summer 

 or winter use. It is of robust habit, grows quickly ; its rich aro- 

 matic flavor fits it to the position of an e.xcellent garnisher. Pkt. 

 10 cts., oz. 25 cts. 



The "Delicious" Squash 



A Squash well named — a result of crossing the Faxon and 

 the Hubbard. The color is almost uniformly of a green shade, 

 with an occasional blue specimen. In size it closely resembles 

 the Hubbard, and for table use no Squash compares with it in its 

 remarkable combination of fineness of grain, dryness, sweetness 

 and- exceeding richness of flavor. It is a fall as well as a winter 

 Squash, — excellent at all times, but does not acquire its best 

 quality until winter. Pkt. 15 cts, 



Tomatoes, The Big Three 



ELLIOTT'S WONDE.R. 



A forcing variety of 

 great merit. The 



plants are healthy and very productive, the fruit growing in large 

 clusters. Shape round, color deep bright red, and the Tomatoes 

 grow very smooth. It is one of the best varieties for all purposes, 

 and will produce more weight of fruit to the plant than any other 

 variety. Pkt. 15 cts., Koz. 30 cts., oz. 50 cts. 



LORILLARD. 



Very early, heavy bearer of bright 

 red, smooth, finely flavored fruit, and 

 is well adapted for garden use. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 30c., %\h. $1. 



STIRLING CASTLE, a variety distinct from 



all others. Does not 



bear large fruits, but forces admirably, is of excellent flavor 

 and contains very few seeds. The fruits are borne in clusters, are 

 round and absolutely smooth, and of a reddish scarlet color. 

 Pkt. 25 cts. 



The Four Best Peas 



SURPRISE. 



A variety obtained by crossing First of 

 All and American Wonder, resulting in 



a wrinkled Pea, with all the good points of the parents. It is the 

 very earliest of all the wrinkled sorts. It attains a height of 24 

 inches and requires no bushing. It is a liberal producer, pods are 

 well filled, and the quality is unequaled. It has the hardiness of 

 First of All and is not subject to mildew. This sort cannot be 

 recommended too highly, as it has yielded well under all condi- 

 tions. Pt. 20 cts., qt. 40 cts. 



o-p 1^ o A •npif)!^ (AWinkled Pea). With Sensation the 



climax of perfection in a Pea seems to 



have been reached. It is 2 feet high, second early, and crowded 

 with long, dark green pods tightly packed with from eight to 

 eleven large, deep green peas of delicious flavor. The haulm is 

 of vigorous growth, the plant very robust and hardy, as it has 

 resisted the varying conditions of weather better than most other 

 sorts. Pkt. 20 cts. 



y~>|i A-rvijo As the name indicates, this variety is in 



' advance of all early Peas. Introduced by 



others under the name of "Prosperity." It adapts itself to all 

 soils. Of robust habit and bears abundantly the most delicious- 

 flavored peas of the vine family, pods containing from eight to 

 ten large peas. Being of the wrinkled variety, it is less subject to 

 mildew. Pt. 25 cts., qt. 50 cts. 



ELLIOTT^S EARLIE,ST MARKET. 



This variety is unequaled for general planting ; as to yield, size 

 of pod and regularity of ripening it can not be equaled. Height 2>^ 

 feet ; produces pods of good size, which are well filled with round, 

 smooth peas of a splendid flavor. It is a prodigious bearer, and 

 in this last feature, with its extreme earliness, lies its great merit for 

 garden use. Pt. 20 cts., qt. 30 cts., pk. $2. 



Table Lettuce 



ELLIOTT'S HOTHOUSE. 



This is the best 

 variety forgrow- 



ing under glass ; forms a large-sized head with a good solid heart, 



which is not liable to rot ; delicately crisp, tender and fine flavored ; 



combines all the qualities to make it the best Lettuce that can be 



grown. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 40 cts., %Vo. $1. 



E^LLIOTT'S LE^VIATHAN. 



^"The largest 

 Cabbage 



Lettuce in cultivation, and besides is possessed of many merits that 

 place it in the front rank of desirable varieties. ^H^ads solid and of 

 marked icy crispness, while its heat-resisting qualities are best 

 evidenced by its failure to run to seed in a temperature that ruins 

 all other sorts for culinary purposes. Pkt. 15 ets., oz. 40 cts.
