ELLIOTT’S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1895. IX. 
WHITE MULTIPLIER 
ONIONS. 
They are of a pure white silvery color. Enormously produc- 
tive, frequently producing as many as 20 bulbs in a single cluster. 
They are mild and of a sweet flavor, very hardy and without doubt 
will prove a great acquisition to this class of onions. Its handsome 
appearance will make it one of the most attractive varieties that 
can be grown. It isalso useful for pickling; white onions being 
higher priced than any other color, the advantage of White Mul- 
tiplying Onions can be readily understood. 
Pint, 20 cents; quart, 30 cents ; peck, $2. 
Three Superior Garden Peas. 
EXTRA EARLY SUNOL. 
An extra early pea of recent introduction and beyond doubt 
the very best extra early sort yet introduced. In quality this new 
variety is unsurpassed by any of the early varieties ; exceedingly 
roductive, of vigorous, uniform growth; pods good size and well 
pile rl gecn ani, from five to eight peas. Height, two and one- 
half feet. 
Price per packet, 20 cts.; qt., 35 cts.; 4% pk., $1.25; pk., $2 25. 
NOTT’S EXCELSIOR. 
This new pea is certainly a variety of special merit. In season 
this pea matures after the American Wonder, and is larger and 
more vigorous. Earlier and more prolific than the Premium Gem, 
The pods are always well tilled with the sweetest, richest flavored 
grnkied peas in cultivation. This pea has no superiors among 
the early class for a home garden variety. 
— Price per packet, 15 cts.; 4% pt., 25 cts.; pt., 40 cts. 
HEROINE PEA. 
There have been so many new varieties of Peas offered by 
seedsmen in the last few years that planters have become some- 
what peepee of the merits of new aspirants for public favor, 
but the Heroine has been a conspicuous exception. In fact, no 
new Pea since the introduction of ‘‘American Wonder” has 
created such a sensation. Every one who sees it wants it—seeds- 
man, market gardener and amateur; in fact, we refused orders 
from dealers for hundreds of bushels last fall in order to have 
enough stock for our own retail trade this spring. It is far supe- 
rior to all other varieties of Peas as it combines quantity and 
quality in a degree possessed by no other variety. ‘The Heroine 
is a medium early, green wrinkled Pea, grows uniformly about 
two and one-half feet high and is literally covered with its long, 
heavy, pointed pods—in fact, so striking and distinct is this 
variety that it would be picked out at once in a field of one hun- 
dred other varieties. The quality of this Pea is simply perfection 
—that rich, buttery, marrow-like flavor for which the Peas grown 
in the gardens of Old England are celebrated. 
Price per 4% pint, 15 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents; 
peck, $2.75. 
TOMATO. NEW 
DWARF ARISTOCRAT. 
This variety in habit of growth and foliage resembles the 
Dwarf Champion ; the fruit is a rich, glossy red, much preferred 
by many to the purple or rose colored varieties. Solid, produc- 
tive, smooth and excellent flavor, The dwarf compact habit of 
this variety renders it of special value for forcing and small gar- 
dens. Price per packet, 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; 14 1b., $1.00. 
RASWON’S NEW 
“HOT-HOUSE” LETTUCE 
We take pleasure in offering the above, believing it to 
be the very best lettuce for growing under glass. Our 
stock is from the introducer, Mr. . W. Rawson, who 
is one of the largest market gardeners in the world, 
and who has made vegetable growing a scientific pro- 
fession. We quote Mr. Rawson’s description: “It is 
especially adapted for growing in greenhouses and hot- 
beds, being THE LARGEST LETTUCE GROWN, NEARLY 
DOUBLE THE SIZE OF THE FAMOUS BOSTON MARKET OR 
WHITE SEED TENNIS BALL. It is alsoa sure header and 
not liable to rot in the heart, making it the most desirable 
variety for market gardeners and family use,” The 
seed we offer was all grown under glass. 
Price per packet, 10 cents; oz., 50 cents. 
LETTUCE. GRAND 
RAPIDS FORCING. 
A distinct forcing variety. Leaves medium’ size, 
light yellowish green color, crimped and frilled 
thin but very upright growth. Crisp, tender and 
good quality. Forms a close mass of leaves, but cannot be called 
ahead lettuce. Owing toits upright growth may be planted very 
closely, and is very little inclined to rot. The Grand Ranids re- 
tains its freshness a long time after cutting and may also be 
allowed to stand a week or ten days after fit for cutting without 
injury. Price per packet, 5 cents ; 0z., 20 cents; 14 Ib. 40 cents. 
NEW CLIMBING 
JAPANESE CUCUMBER. 
This new Cucumber has proved to be a valuable Novelty. 
It is a strong and vigorous grower, the vines attaining nearly 
twice the length of common varieties. It is prized for its prolific 
and hardy qualities, a single vine bearing 50 to 75 well-formed 
fruits about ten to twelve inches in length, of a dark green color 
and a delicious flavor. It is very fleshy, solid and sweet, with 
exceptionally few seeds, never bitter, therefore well adapted for 
pickling as well as slicing. The vines are proof against mildew, 
never suffering from wet weather or insects. For exhibition no 
other Cucumber will attract so much attention, their shape being 
very uniform, straight and perfectly smooth. 
Packet, 10 cents; oz., 25 cents ; 14 1b., 75 cents.
