the handsomest kales ever developed. 
Its graceful leaves are unmarked by frost, and present a bright, 
cheerful appearance until covered by the snow. Fine contrasts can | 
be obtained by planting the green and purple kales in close proximity | 
to each other. 
Emerald Isle Kale is quite hardy, and will be found of great practical 
value for both food and ornamental pur poses.

Silver Anniversary Lettuce. 
Forms dense heads of yellowish green leaves that make it very 
conspicuous in the garden. The leaves aré crisp, tender and juicy, and 
of genuine lettuce flavor, qualities that will reeommend it either for 
salads or garnishing. While one of the earliest of the early, it endures 
the heat of summer as well, if not better, than any other variety. It 
certainly is a valuable sort, and is bound to win the favor of all who 
plant and cultivate it. 
Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 25 cts.; 14 pound, 75 cts.; pound, $2.50.

EXCELSIOR EGG PLANT. 
Excelsior Egg Plant. 
After studying and watching this unusually fine egg plant 
for several years, I at last procured a stock of the seed. It is 
of large size and extremely good shape, being particularly 
adapted to slicing, as there is no waste of material. In flavor 
it cannot be surpassed. The hot sun does not blight the 
blossom, as is the case with some other sorts. It resists 
drought aud bad weather to a wonderful degree, partly on 
account of its strong, upright growth. It bears its eggs or

fruit well above the ground, thus escap- 
ing liability to rot. The fruit often mea- 
sures 18 to 24 inches in circumference (6 
to 8 inches in diameter). No market or 
private gardener should fail to try Excel- 
sior Egg Plant this year.

Carrot. 
This new carrot is an intensified Danvers, 
suited to both table and stock. Itis a half long, 
stump-rooted carrot, somewhat deeper in color 
than Danvers and a heavier cropper. The root 
is smooth, uniform and handsome, entirely free 
from core, with sweet and tender flesh. It never 
becomes stringy nor shows rings. Highly 
| something choice in quality. With ordinary 
good treatment Golden Rod will yield close to 
40 tons to the acre. Thousands of testimonials 
in favor of Golden Rod have already reached 
me, and I am sure that it is worthy of univer- 
Wj; recommended both for table use and stock 
SG feeding, and especially desirable for market
