RHUBARB. 



CHICORY. 



IMPROVED IMPERIAL.— The best for table use. Has small greens, but extra large roots, 

 thus producing a very heavy crop per acre. It will not only out-yield all others, but is a better keeper. 

 When matured, most excellent, and even better than Mangels or Swede Turnips for feeding stock, and 

 especially fine for feeding cows, as it imparts no unpleasant taste to the milk. It is well to remember 

 that in places where Turnips fail, Kohl Rabi or Turnip Rooted Cabbage, will produce good crops. Un- 

 questionably the most profitable variety ever offered. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; % lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 



LARGE WHITE.— Excellent for the table. Packet, 5 cents ; ounce, 20 cents ; Ji pound, 50 cents. 



BROCCOLI.— PURPLE CAPE.— Broccoli much resembles Cauliflower. Purple Cape I con- 

 sider the best variety, as it produces large heads of brown purplish color, which are always very 

 Close and compact, and of superior flavor. Packet, 10 cents ; ounce, 40cents; ii lb., $1.25. 



LINNAEUS RHUBARB.— An early, large, tender variety that is very popular among many 

 market gardeners. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents ; %. lb., 75 cents; lb., $2.50. 



A WORD TO FRIENDS ABROAD.-™ e ro ^n g td c e on 1 s a t^tiy r S e ^T d i 8 



number customers in every habitable part of the globe. I have given special attention to this part of 

 my business, consequently it is gratifying to receive letters like the following: 



R. M. Overend, Honokaa, Sandwich Islands: "Having tried your seeds for three seasons, I am 

 satisfied to try them again simply because I have better results or luck from what I buy from you than 

 I have from any other seedsman in the V. S. (and I have tried many) but honestly, I have found your 

 seeds the best, consequently 1 place my order with you for '92." 



Samuel Reynolds, Mansfield, Victoria, Australia: " Our annual show is just passed and the vege- 

 tables raised from your seeds gained first prizes for everything. The Editor of the ' Mansfield 

 Courier ' stated in the paper that he never saw such a collection of vegetables." 



These are only two selected from many received from foreign friends. I am glad to know 

 my efforts are appreciated, and 1 can assure my many hundreds of customers in India, China, 

 Australia, South America, Africa, Great Britain and on the Continent, that I shall always give 

 particular attention to any favors they may be so kind as to send me.

Imp. Ground Cherry. 



Packet, 10 cts. 



IMPROVED GROUND CHERRY.- 



Unequaled for canning, preserving and pies. 

 Dried in sugar as Raisins or Pigs, they 

 are unexcelled They are a hand- 

 some yellow color, and will keep 

 till mid-winter. They have a 

 strawberry flavor, produce fruit 

 in great abundance, from on»to 

 two inches in diameter. In 

 sections devoid of fruit, many 

 esteem them highly: a great 

 curiosity, and sell well in 

 market. 



A correspondent to the Chi- 

 cago Inter-Ocean writes as fol- 

 lows: "One thing which with 

 me is one of the most important 

 of all the fruits in my cookery, I 

 do not recollect ofever seeing 

 named in the Home, and that is 

 the Ground Cherry (not the wild one. ) They grow well on almost 

 any dry soil, are easier raised than the tomato, and are prolific 

 bearers, and oh ! such luscious fruit. For sauce they are ex- 

 cellent, and for pies I know of nothing that can equal them in 

 flavor or taste. They are just splendid dried in sugar, and they 

 will keep, if put in a cool, dry place in the shuck, nearly all 

 winter. I have never seen them named in any seed catalogue, 

 and from what I learn from friends in different parts of the 

 country they seem to be very little known. No one after raising 

 them once will ever make a garden again without devoting a 

 Small portion to the Ground Cherry. Pkt, 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts. 



UPRIGHT OR 

 TREE TOM.ATO.- 

 There have been many 

 varieties of so-called Tree 

 Tomatoes offered in recent 

 years.but I think this more 

 nearly fillsthebill than any 

 other Standing up like a 

 tree, without support of any 

 kind, as shown in illustra- 

 tion given herewith, it 

 bears abundantly, fruit be- 

 ing of medium size, smooth 

 in shape.bright red in color 

 and fine flavor ; a valuable 

 and curious acquisition : 

 very ornamental as well as 

 useful. Sure to excite 

 remark in any garden. 

 Packet, 15 cents ; 2 Packets, 

 25 cents. Upright or Tree Tomato. 



! 



Imp. "Ground Pea" or Peanut. Pkt, 10 cts. 



IMPROVED "GROUND PEA" OR PEANUT.-A 



variety that combines the following good qualities.viz: earliness, 

 size andproliftcness, yielding fewer imperfect pods, and makes 

 less "popps " than any other kind, yielding on medium land 

 one hundred bushels per acre ; the vines average three and a 

 half to four feet across, which makes valuable forage for stock ; 

 color of nut red, two to three in a pod, large and rich flavor. 

 An excellent paying crop in the South, as the demand has often 

 exceeded the supply, and growers of the "Peanut" have always 

 found ready sale at remunerative prices for their product It 

 does not require a rich soil. Pkt, 10 cts.; pt.,25cts.; qt,40cts. 



THE MELON 



PEACH.— This is con- 

 sidered by the introducer 

 the most valuable and 

 unique novelty offered 

 to the public in many 

 years. Those who have 

 tried them, consider 

 they are interesting 

 vegetables of value. 

 They grow on vines 

 same as melons, are a 

 beautiful golden yellow, 

 almost resembling 

 oranges in color, shape 

 and size. The flesh is 

 snow-white, and makes 

 excellent and handsome 

 preserves. They are 

 delicious fried as egg- 

 plants, and for mangoes 

 are considered superior 

 to peppers. They are 

 hardy, very productive, _ 



and keep a long time after being picked. Pkt, 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts. 



WITH EVERYORDER FOR EITHER GROUND CHERRY OR MELON 

 PEACH I WILL SEND A NUMBER OF RECIPES FOR COOKING 

 AND PRESERVING THESE NOVELTIES, WRITTEN BY A PRAC- 

 TICAL HOUSEWIFE.
