NEW HONEY MUSKMELON. 
New Honey Muskmelon. 
I call it Honey from the fact that 56 of my customers suggested this name, in competition for 
a $100 prize, and it was very gratifying to me to know that so many felt compelled on account 
of its sweet, delicious flavor to call this new melon Honey. The Honey muskmelon is of 
medium size, weighing 3 to 4 pounds on an average. It is distinctly and evenly ribbed and 
moderately netted. Globe shape and somewhat flattened at the stem and blossom end. Its 
exterior color is a peculiar Shade of green, quite unlike any other muskmelon. The flesh 1s 
green, inclining to yellow. The spicy flavor is as distinct and characteristic as it is sweet and 
pleasing. The flesh is both deep and firm, the edible portion almost touching the rind, and 
remarkably juicy. At Panmure last season my field of these melons was a sight to behold, 
and everyone who tasted them remarked that Honey was certainly the proper name for so 
delicious a melon. Packet; 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents; 14 pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.50.

FORDHOOK FAMOUS 
CUCUMBER. 
This new extra long White Spine cucum- 
ber produces perfectly smooth, very dark 
green, handsome straight fruit, measuring 
12 to 17 inches long. They are always solid, 
flesh being a greenish white, firm, crisp and 
of most delicious flavor. Itis a great crop- 
per and fruit is full of flesh with but few 
seeds. At Panmure, where I had more than 
two acres of Kordhook Famous, it excited 
the admiration of all visitors, fruit being 
of such beautiful green, and so long and 
symmetrical. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 
15 ets.; 14 pound, 40 cts., pound, $1.25.

i] MAULE’S ALWAYS HEADS CAULIFLOWER. 
i ' Maule’s Always Heads Cauliflower. 
} 
The name well illustrates the strongest characteristic of this 
cauliflower, that in season and out of season it can always be de 
pended upon to make a head. I secured it from one of the most 
expert cauliflower growers in Denmark, who for many years has 
considered “Always Heads” absolutely head and shoulders above 
» every other cauliflower, as he has raised 99 heads 8 to 10 in. across 
from every 100 plants year after year. He resides in a district where 
hundreds of acres of Snowball and Extra Early Erfurt are annually 
grown, and has always been able to secure top market prices for 
his entire product, besides being equally as early in the market. I 
am not prepared to say it is better than Maule’s Prize Earliest, but 
consider it equally as good. Pkt., 20c.; 14 oz.. $1.00; oz., $3.00. 
Golden Bantam Sweet Corn. 
This is a new very early corn from Massachusetts. My old friend, } 
Mr. E. L. Coy, says it impressed him as the sweetest and most ten- 
der corn he had ‘ever tasted. It is deep yellowin color and very 
early, entirely different from the old Early Orange and much ear- 
lier. Can be planted thickly, and with me every stalk had from 2 
to 3 perfect ears. The introducer says that un account of the firm 
substance of the cured grains it can be planted earlier than any t 
other true sweet corn. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts.; qt., 50 cts. GOLDEN BANTAM CORN.
