CAULIFLOWER. 



CAKRARA ROCK.

 narrow upright leaves, which allow of close planting. The 

 heads are almost snow-white, of the very finest quality and 

 sure heading compared with many other varieties, usually 

 succeeding even under unfavorable conditions. Either for the 

 private or marliet gardener we would be unable to select a 

 more valuable sort. Pkt., 50c. ; % oz., |2.00. 



PEAS. 



Varieties of Special Merit. 



Elliott's Earliest Maricet. The finest first early Pea in cultiva- 

 tion, height 2>^ feet, pods good size and well filled with 

 peas of excellent quality, rich and sugary. A heavy 

 cropper, maturing with remarkable unifoi-mity. Pt., 

 15c.; qt., 25c.; pk., SI. 25. 



Nott's Excelsior. The earliest wrinkled Pea. Height about 

 14 inches or about one-half taller than the American 

 Wonder, vigorous and very productive; of excellent 

 quality. Price, pt., 20c. ; qt., 30c. ; pk., $1.75. 



The Heroine. An excellent second early variety. Height 

 about 2;/^ feet, covered with long, heavy, pointed pods,

 l^ranching, about 2 feet high, requiring no bushing. 

 The pods are borne in abundance, usually in pairs, and

 tenderness and superb flavor long after they are young 

 and attain their dark greer color when served on the 

 table. Price, pt., 20c. ; qt., 30c. ; pk , S1.50. 



BEANS, ROGERS' LIMA WAX. 



A Decided Novelty. One of Merit and a Most 

 Desirable Acquisition as a Snap Bean. 



This new bean is named Lima Wax, as it has 

 bright, glossy foliage, and the blooms, which 

 are borne in great profusion, resemble the 

 Dwar Limas. The plant is branching and 

 vigorous, with an immense amount of foliage, 

 which serves as a protection to the pods, as 

 they sink beneath it, shielding them from light 

 showers and heavy dews, serving as a pro- 

 tection against their spotting and rusting as 

 compared with other sorts. Tliis bean requires 

 thin planting (two beans being sufficient for a 

 hill) on very rich soil and will run true and not 

 sport. 



The pods are the broadest of all wax bush 

 beans, color transparent, glossy lemon wax, 

 having tlie yellow waxy appearance very soon 

 after the pods are formed, and when piclced 

 retain their bright attractive appearance for a 

 long time without becoming tough. Not only 

 will this bean meet the approval of the market 

 gardener, but will also become a favorite 

 among the pi-ivate gardeners. Pkt., 10c. ; X 

 pt., 20c.; pt., 30c.; qt., 50c. 



LETTUCE. 



GOLDEN QUEEN. 



One of the most desirable forcing varieties, also second to 

 none as an early garden variety. Color golden j'ellow, ex- 

 tremely crisp and tender. At first glance this variety would 

 appear only medium size, but as it forms nearly all head with 

 few outer leaves, it will be found larger than many sorts 

 which appear double the size. Highly recommendable. 

 Price, pkt., 10c. ; oz., 25c. ; >^ lb., 75c. 



RADISH. 



RAPID FORCING. 



This variety closely resembles the Scarlet Turnip White 

 Tipped, but is much earlier, being ready for use 22 days from 

 sowing of seed. The best of all forcing Radishes, and also 

 excellent as a garden variety. In quality this sort is excelled 

 by none. Pkt., 5c. ; oz., 15c. ; % lb., 25e. ; lb., 80c. 



■i?^i§>^.:E^ ^ 



SPINACH VICTORIA. 



This variety has proved an exceedingly valuable sort for 

 spring sowing, being very long standing, usually showing 

 no signs of bolting when other varieties are a foot high. The 

 leaves are thick, fleshy, crimped and an attractive dark green 

 color, stems deep red. The finest spinach for either private of 

 market garden. Pkt., 5e. ; oz., 10c. ; Y^ lb., 15c. ; lb., 40c.
