NEW BUCK MOUNTAIN 



The E,arliest Table Corn in Cultivation 



This valuable new table corn was originated at Stamford, Conn., where it has been monopolized by 

 a few large sweet corn growers, who have made large profits in growing it for New York, Boston, and 

 other principal Eastern markets. In general appearance it resembles the celebrated Burlington Hybrid, 

 first introduced by us several years ago, the grain being smooth and of a creamy white color; the ears, 

 however, are not quite so large, but it is ready for the table a week earlier, making it decidedly the 

 earliest table corn in cultivation. It is also extremely hardy, and can be planted with safety two or 

 three weeks before any of the early sugar corns, and if pulled when young is very tender, sweet and 

 juicy. The stalks grow five feet in height, and when on good ground give two to four good ears. Pkt., 

 10c. ; pint, 25c. ; qt., 45c., by mail, postage paid ; by express or freight, qt., 35c.; peck, $1.25 ; bush., $4.50. 



EGG^'i^ANT Early Black Beauty 



This is a new variety of great merit, originated 

 by Mr. W. E. Ashcroft, one of the largest egg plant 

 growers of South Jersey. It is fully two weeks 

 earlier than New York Improved Purple, and fully 

 as large in size. It is remarkably handsome and 

 prolific, and took the lead as a seller in our mar- 

 kets last summer. Pkt., 15c.; oz., 75c.; 2 ozs., 

 $1.25; Jib., $2.00. 



NEW BABL.V BLACK BEAUTY EGG PLANT. 



The Houser Cabbage 



This new cabbage originated near Hairisburg 

 with the successful market gardener whose name 

 it bears. It is very late and one of the hardest 

 heading cabbages we ever saw, its solidity not 

 even being excelled by the famous Danish Ball 

 Head. Mr. J. M. Lupton, the noted cabbage seed 

 grower of Long Island, writes of it as follows: 

 "The Houser Cabbage is entirely distinct from 

 anything I have ever grown or anything now on 

 the market. It is fully two weeks later than other 

 sorts, a very hard header, and is all right. It is a 

 first-class keeper, retaining its color to a marked 

 degree, and will carry through the winter for early 

 spring market without rotting, as many other varie- 

 ties do. ' ' Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 35c. ; i lb., $1.00 ; lb., $3.75.
