Maule's Excelsior Egg Plant 



It is of large size and extremely, good shape, being particu- 

 larly adapted to slicing, and for flavor it cannot be surpassed. 

 The hot sun does not blight the blossom. It resists drought 

 and bad weather to a wonderful degree, partly on account of 

 its strong, upright growth. The fruit often measures 18 to 24 

 inches in circumference (6 to 8 inches in diameter) and is 

 borne well above the ground, thus escaping liability to rot. 

 A great favorite with all gardeners for home or market use. 

 Packet, 10 cents; half-ounce, 30 cents; ounce, 50 cents; 

 quarter-pound, $1.50; pound, $5.00, postpaid.

TENDERHEART LETTUCE. 



Tenderheart Lettuce 



New Cabbage Head Variety 



A new early head lettuce of unusually fine quality. Grows about 10 

 inches across with every plant uniform in size and shape, and all head 

 but for a few outer leaves of pale green color slightly tinged with reddish 

 brown. The heads are large and round, tightly formed, tender, sweet 

 and crisp with waxy cream colored heart leaves of extra fine quality 

 and succulence. This fine new lettuce is not only very early and hardy, 

 withstanding the early summer heat splendidly, but has the additional 

 advantage of not running to seed for at least two weeks after the heads are 

 fully matured. Tenderheart will be found an unusually profitable sort. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; quarter-pound, 50 cents; 

 pound, $1.75, postpaid. 



FANMURE ALL-HEART WATERMELON. 



Z87 



Panmure All-Heart Watermelon 



Here we have an entirely distinct variety that is sure to excite the admiration of all lovers of fine watermelons. It is 

 not only of superb flavor, but is all its name iriiplies. Solid as a cannon ball, and while.it has a thin rind, the skin is 

 firm, consequently making it a good shipper. Seeds are about the same size as apple seeds; but, not withstanding this fact, 

 the average weight of the melon is 30 to 40 pounds. The shape, size etc., is well shown in illustration. Not a single 

 one of our customers who grow watermelons should fail to make a trial of Panmure All-Heart this season, as it is sure to 

 please the naost exacting. We cannot recommend Panmure All-Heart too highly for home or market use 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 30 cents; quarter pound, 85 cents; pound, $3.00, postpaid.
