specialties for Harket Gardeners 



This list contains, in more condensed form and at wholesale prices, the same seeds described in our 

 retail catalogue or Oarden and Farm Manual, a copy of which was mailed to you in January. We 

 illustrate here, by photographic reproduction, only our Leading Specialties for Harket Gardeners, 

 in order to thus more forcibly draw your attention to them. Among them you will, no doubt, find 

 many varieties you have never tried, and for which we would urge you to send us at least a trial order, 

 as we believe our special strains of many of the newer varieties will make them as profitable to you as 

 they have been to thousands of others among our market garden customers. 



SIX ST.4I,KS OF DONALD'S ELMIRA, WEIGHING 30 OUNCES, 



THE RUBY DULCET BEET 



When we ofifered last spring, for the first, 

 our New Meteor Beet, we did not think we 

 would this year be able to offer another new 

 one so much its superior as the Ruby Dulcet, 

 which, although introduced in England but a 

 few years ago, has already become the most 

 popular first early beet on the Covent Garden 

 Market of London. No beet we have ever 

 tested on our trial grounds has proven earlier, 

 while its shape is most desirable, being uniform- 

 ly a perfect globe, as shown in photograph along- 

 side. The skin and flesh are a deep, rich red, 

 fine grained, sweet and tender in all stages of 

 growth. Oz., loc; %. lb., 30c.; lb., fi.oo. 



Crosby's Improved Egyptian Beet 



DIRECT FROM JOSIAH CROSBY'S SELECTED STOCK SEED 



No market grower who values earliness and 

 quality should fail to grow this valuable beet. 

 Crosby's Egyptian Beet, as originated and 

 selected by Mr. Crosby, is a very shy seeder, 

 and the genuine seed cannot be obtained at a 

 lower price than here ofifered. Oz. , loc. ; %\h., 

 25c.; lb., 75c.; 5 lbs. and over, 70c. per lb. 



Donald's Elmira Asparagus 



This new asparagus, first introduced by us 

 a few years ago, has attracted much attention, 

 and is now being grown by some of the largest 

 growers. It was originated and improved by 

 Mr. A. Donald, a prominent market gardener, 

 of Elmira, N. Y. , who has been unable to 

 supply half the demand in New York markets. 

 The delicate green color is notably dififerent 

 from either the famous Barr's Philadelphia 

 Mammoth or Palmetto, while the stalks are 

 more tender and succulent. Its mammoth size 

 can be realized from the fact that in whole 

 crops bunches of twelve stalks will average 

 three to four pounds in weight. It requires 

 much less labor in cutting and bunching, thus 

 lessening the expense of marketing. The seed we 

 offer was saved by Mr. Donald from his choicest 

 beds, and our i and 2-year-old roots are grown 

 by us from the same high-class seed procured 

 from him. Prices of seed: Oz., loc. ; ]4- lb., 

 25c.; lb., 85c.; strong roots, i year old, 75c. 

 per 100 (by mail, postpaid, |i.oo per 100) ; 

 15.00 per 1000 ; 2 years old, $1 .00 per 100 ; $6.00 

 per 1000. 500 roots furnished at looo rates.
