LETTUCES 
Elliott’s Hot-House

sized head with a good solid heart, which is not liable to rot; 
delicately crisp, tender and fine flavored; combines all the quali- 
ties to make it the best Lettuce that can be grown. Pkt. to cts.,

Elliott’s Leviathan 
The largest Cabbage Lettuce in cultivation, and besides is pos- 
sessed of many merits that place it in the front rank of desirable 
varieties. Heads 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 pur- 
poses, Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 40 cts.

Elliott’s Emerald Evergreen 
Distinct, handsome bright green, finely cut and very curled 
moss-like leaves. Plant of dwarf habit, productive and unsur-

PEAS 
Elliott’s Earliest Miarket 
The best extra-early Pea in cultivation. Very uniform and 
robust in growth, and produces an abundant quantity of good- 
sized pods well filled with round, smooth peas of excellent 
flavor. The extreme earliness and uniformity in ripening render 
this the most valuable variety for market gardeners, and no vari- 
ety excels Elliott’s Earliest Market for the private garden. 2%

TOMATO 
Stirling Castle

few seeds. The fruits are borne in clusters, are round and abso- 
lutely smooth, and of a reddish scariet color. Pkt. Io cts., oz.

TOM ATO—JUNE PINK 
The June Pink Tomato in habit of growth is similar to the 
Earliana. The plant is neat and compact, branching freely, with 
fruit hanging in clusters of six to ten fruits both in the crown 
and at the forks of the branches. Under exactly the same con- 
ditions as given Sparks’s Earliana, the June Pink yielded as 
much fruit and the vines after the crop had been harvested 
were greener and brighter, and showed no tendency to blight. 
The fruit is of medium size, uniform, smooth, and attractively 
shaped, without cracks or any green core. The fruit will aver- 
age 234 to 3 inches in diameter, and from 2 to 2% inches in 
depth. The skin is reasonably tough so that it is excellent for 
shipping purposes. 
In color, it is a bright pleasing pink, and in markets where a 
pink tomato is desired will bring 25 per cent. more in price than 
any red variety. It has the further quality, making it especially 
desirable for private use, of continuing to bear and ripen fruit 
up until frost. 
In offering the June Pink Tomato, we do so with every con- 
fidence that it will at once take the unique position in pink 
varieties which the Earliana now holds in the red sorts.
