f ‘The Ruby King pepper attains a larger size than 
Spanish Monstrous or any other sort, and is most ex- 
cellent in every way, Whether considered from the 
domestic standpoint or from the position of the com- 
mercial gardener. It is a good home pepper and an 
a variety of other ways. For cultural directions see 
peppers, elsewhere in this catalogue. 
I recommend the planting of Ruby King Pepper 
first and foremost as the best of all. Packet, 10 cents;

NEW LEAFLESS RADISH. 
A decided acquisition to the garden, both asa table relish 
of the plant is thrown into the root, far surpassing any other 
variety of radish in this respect. The seed leaves with one or 
two others are all that are produced. The color of the radish 
is avery bright scarlet. The shape is shown in the illustra 
tion. The flesh is white, crisp and tender. My stock is grown

I will pay $50 to the customer who sends me, by 
and as a curiosity. It is almost literally what its name 
implies, a radish without leaves, for nearly the whole strength 
to order in France. The radish is a shy seeder, and I can offer 
it in packets only. Packet, 10 cents; 3 packets, 25 cents. 

HUNDRED-WEIGHT PUMPKIN. 
This extra large and valuable strain is a selection from my Prize 
Potiron, the seeds being saved only from specimens weighing over 100 
pounds. Hundred-weight pumpkins will now surpass every other va- 
riety in size, specimens weighing 200 to 250 pounds, being neither rare 
nor unusual. In additon to mammoth proportions this strain is 
of high table quality, the flesh being fine grained and sweet, and of a 
bright yellow color. ‘he outside skin is of a dark salmon, and the 
pumpkin is therefore very attractive in appearance as well as in size = = —= < =

always commands attention and causes comment. It is a valuable 
thing on the farm or in the garden. It produces but few seeds as com- 
pared to its size, and on this account I can offer the seed only in small 
quantities. Packet, 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents.

NEW GOLDEN HUBBARD SQUASH. 
NEW GOLDEN HUBBARD SQUASH. 
This {is a new, distinct and most valuable squash, a sport = 
from one of the very best American varieties, the Hubbard. It Ss 
has the shape and all the virtues of its parent, but is a little 2 
earlier and more productive. This 1s extremely high praise; 
but I think it is fully deserved. The color of the skin of the 
new sort is very pleasing, being a deep yellow or orange red. 
The flesh is richer in color than the Hubbard and of equal 
quality. It is fine grained and particularly sweet. It cooks 
dry, and is perfect as a table squash, and is asplendid Winter
