50 WM. ELLIOTT & SONS’ GENERAL CATALOGUE FOR 1892. 
“THE BANQUET.” 
(MUSK MELON.) 
This magnificent Melon is the result of 
years of careful selection and improvement 
by one of the most noted growers of Melons 
inthe world. The raiser regards it as his 
greatest production and likely to supersede 
all red-fleshed varieties. The ‘‘ Banquet” is 
medium in size, flat at both ends and most 
beautifully netted. The quality is unequaled; 
the flesh is uniformly deep and of that gran- 
ulate substance that always characterizes 
a good Melon. Color, rich dark salmon. To 
all who desire an excellent Melon and one 
capable of producing more edible Melons to 
a given area, we say the ‘‘ Banquet” is the 
one. Per pkt., 15 cts.; 0z., 40 cts. 
IGNOTUM TOMATO. 
The Ignotum (uzknown.) The size attained 
by this remarkable Tomato is prodigious, 
fruits of which were grown last summer 
weighing 114 pounds each, and from many 
sources we hear praises of its fine quality, 
size and productiveness. Of the many new 
kinds introduced of late years, few have pos- 
sessed any distinct characteristics, each new 
variety so closely resembling its predecessor 
as to be almost identical with it. The 
Ignotum, however, is entirely distinct, and 
can be immediately recognized by its foliage, 
which is entire and not cut as in other vari- 
eties. Itisa remarkably handsome Tomato, 
enormously productive, and very solid, of 
unsurpassed flavor, and unequaled for slicing. 
Per pkt., 
10 cts.; oz,, 50 cts. (See cut.) 
NEW WHITE RUSSIAN SUMMER LET- 
TUCE. 
This is a genuine new sort, of invaluable merit, that 
has been planted by ourselves and by many of our most 
intelligent market gardeners with remarkable results. 
It is pre-eminently one of the best sorts to withstand the 
extreme heat of our long, hot summer months, as it 
forms beautiful, large, solid heads, without showing the 
slightest disposition whatever to run to seed. It is 
equally well adapted for early spring sowing. Of very 
rapid growth, with few outer leaves; in color it is a very 
light green, almost white, and forms a very large, solid 
head, of the finest quality. Per pkt., 15 cts.; oz., 40 cts. 
NEW LETTUCE, “BIG BOSTON.” 
This variety is identical in color, shape and general 
appearance with the famous Boston Market Lettuce, but 
is double the size. It is about one week later in maturing, 
but its solidity and greater size of head will make it a. 
more valuable sort. It forms firm solid hearts and there 
is little waste, as the plant is literally all heart, and re- 
mains a long time in perfection. A most desirable vari- 
ety either for forcing or open ground planting. Per pkt., 
15 cts.; oz., 40 cts.
