.... THE TREASURE LETTUCE .... 



After two years' tests at Floracroft Trial Grounds, we were so thoroughly convinced of the superior 

 qualities of this new lettuce that, in 1S94, we distributed several thousand sample packets, labelled 

 " New Lettuce No. 66," for trial among our customers. It has given pronounced satisfaction in all 

 sections of the countrj'. The name given it was suggested b}' an enthusiastic market gardener, who 

 says in his report : "I have, in the last twelve years, grown and tested hundreds of varieties of lettuce, 

 but this new one of j-ours. No. 66, is the greatest Treasure of them all." 



The Treasure Lettuce forms a fine, large, solid head, with leaves of a rich, creamy-yellow color, 

 which are very tender and buttery in flavor, surpassing nearly all other sorts in fine quality. It is a fine 

 early lettuce and also one of the best Summer varieties, being extremely slow to shoot to seed. It will 

 delight all planters who grow it. Pkt., loc. ; oz. , 30c.; % lb., Sfc. ; lb., I3.00. 



New Lettuce Free for Trial. 



We have put up several thousand trial packages 

 of an entirely new and superior lettuce, which we 

 desire to have tested by our customers and friends, 

 and shall be glad to put a package in all orders, 

 when requested. 



Ivy Gem Muskmelon 



The Largest Extra Early Melon 

 Now Offered for the First Time 



This grand new sort will prove a money-maker 

 to every grower of melons for market. It is the 

 earliest of the yellow-fleshed sorts, and fully as 

 large as the well-known Surprise Melon, which it 

 resembles in color and smoothness of skin, bein;; 

 almost cream-j-ellow outside ; but differs from that 

 variety in being very deeply ribbed, as shown in 

 photograph alongside, and decidedly earlier in rip- 

 ening. The flesh is a beautiful, deep salmon color, 

 very thick, and superior in qualit}-, having a deli- 

 cate spicy flavor and sweetness which have hereto- 

 fore only been found in the European sorts. 



The hardy vine is wonderfully productive of 

 its handsome fruit. No lover of fine melons should 

 fail to give the Ivy Geza a trial. Pkt., loc; oz., 

 20C.; % lb., 50C.; lb., I1.50.
