Novelties and Speci a Iti es in VEGETABLE SEEDS 
Red Pickling Cabbage, 
"Niggerhead." 
This is the darkest of the dark red Cabbages, black through to 
the very heart. This new' variety is endowed with all the good 
qualities desired in a red Cabbage. The head is solid and heavy 
and is stone-hard, and of good appearance until late in the season, 
when all others are out of the market, an item worth the notice of 
farmers and market-gardeners. "Niggerhead" pickled is of a 
bewitching beauty, and an ornament, as well as a relish, on any 
table. Pkt. 15 cts. 
Cauliflower, 
Elliott's Early Snowball. 
Our stock of this excellent variety is grown for us by one of 
the best Danish growers, and our strain has in the past season 
given excellent results among our many customers. 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 competi- 
tors. This sort will be found dwarf and compact 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 favorable conditions nearly 
everj- plant will make a fine, solid head of good size, of pure white or creamy color, and mild, most delightful flavor when cut at the 
right stage and properly 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 anywhere. Pl;t. 25 rts., ^oz. 75 cts., oz. I2.50. 
The Two Best Lettuces. 
ELLIOTT'S HOTHOUSE. This is the best variety for growing 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., ^Ib. $1. 
ELLIOTT'S LEVIATHAN largest Cabbage Lettuce in cultivation, and besides is possessed of many merits that place it in 
== the front rank of desirable varieties. Heads solid and of marked icy crispness, while its heat-resist- 
ing qualities are best evidenced by its failure to run to seed in a temperature that ruins all other sorts for culinary purposes. 
Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 40 cts. 
Tomato, Stirling Castle. 
A recent introduction, and proving to be one of the best varieties for forcing ever offered. Fruit of medium size, round, smooth and 
very solid ; of a glossy bright scarlet color. Excellent flavor and an abundant cropper. Pkt. 25 cts. 
Prolific Giant- Podded Sugar Pea. 
This is of especial interest to all lovers of Edible-Podded Peas. Excels all others in size, productiveness and quality. To even 
those who know how delicious and wholesome are Sugar Peas cooked pods and all, a dish of these giant pods, sweet, sugary and melting, 
will be a delightful surprise. The vines average about 36 inches in height, remain a long time in bearing, and when grown without brush 
or trellis are strong and rank. The pods are gigantic in size, broad, sweet and tender, extremely fleshy and equal to the best snap beans 
for cooking pods and all. This variety is a decided improvement over Melting Sugar Pea, being equally as early, much more productive 
and greatly superior in quality. We recommend all our customers to give it a trial. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 25 cts., postpaid.
