A NEW UNNAMED CABBAGE FROM LONG ISLAND. 



Had we the naming of this new cabbage we should probably call it Johnson's Market Gardeners' 

 No. 1, as it is in every way a fit companion to our famous Market Gardeners' No. 2 Cabbage, which is 

 now r largely planted from Maine to California for both early summer and winter use. We shall, however, 

 leave its name to the suggestion of our customers who plant it this season. It is earlier than Market 

 Gardeners' No. 2, producing a very solid and uniform large head as shown in our photograph above. The 

 originator claims it to be the finest variety yet produced on Long Island, which is certainly saying a great 

 deal and surely a very strong claim. Supply is so limited, we cannot offer the seed for sale this season: 

 but as we desire to have it tested in different sections this year, we will include a liberal trial packet in 

 all orders of vegetable and flower seeds of $1.00 and over. 



NEW ASPARAGUS Starkey's Mammoth Prolific 



Originated and selected by one of Philadelphia's most successful market gardeners, who for a few 

 years past, has sent the largest and handsomest Asparagus to this market, realizing very high prices and 

 by far the most profitable variety in Philadelphia markets where it is becoming well known. Stalks are 

 very large, tender, succulent and distinct bright green in color. Stalks measure 1 to 2 inches in diameter 

 and have been known to w r eigh % lb. each. Mr. Starkey is a high cultivator and is usually one of the 

 first in the market. Seed: pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; X lb., 50c; lb., SI. 75. Roots. 1 year old, $1.50 per 100, 

 postpaid; by express, $1.25 per 100; $6.25 per 1000; 2 years old, per 100, SI. 40; 500 for $4.50; per 

 1000. S7.50. 



A NEW BEAN— THE FULL MEASURE 



In the Full Measure we have another stringless, round, green-podded Bush Bean, the result of a 

 cross by careful hybridization between the famous Yosemite Mammoth Wax and the old-fashioned 

 Refugee, or 1,000 to 1, and it inherits the good qualities of both of these famous Beans. The pods are 

 often 5 to_5K inches long, round, firm and tender, and remain filled for use many days after arriving at 

 their full size. The new "Full Measure" Bush Bean, will soon be one of our most popular varieties for 

 both market and home use. Price: pkt., 10c; pt., 30c; qt., 50c, by mail postpaid; by express or freight, 

 pt., 20c; qt., 35c; peck, 51.75; bush., S6.50.
