ENKHUIZEN, LONG STANDING. This is the only 

 genuine long standing spinach imported into this country, 

 and was introduced by us seven years ago. We have often 

 seen it stand so long that the leaves actually turned yellow 

 before shooting to seed, hence its great value for spring sow- 

 ing. The leaves are round, large, unusually thick, deeply 

 curled and of a fine dark-green color. Our stock is grown in 

 Holland especially for us. This variety is superior to the 

 ordinary Long Standing offered in many catalogues Pkt 

 5c.; oz., lOc; 34 lb., 15c.; lb., 40c.; 5 lbs., $1.50.

 very superior variety is Pennsylvania

 it to possess every important quality 

 that makes this valuable sort so popu- 

 lar. The leaves arff large, thick, finely 

 curled, heavy, are produced in great 

 numbers, and stand handling and 

 transportation better than any other 

 sort. By far the best and most pro- 

 ductive spinach in cultivation. Pkt.,

LONG GREEN CKOOKNECK SQUASH. 



LONG GREEN SUMMER CROOKNECK. It seems 

 strange that this valuable squash should be so little known 

 outside of Pliiladelpliia market gardeners, who grow it 

 largely with great profit, as it is preferred to all other sum- 

 mer squashes in our markets. We have had the above 

 engraving made of one of these squashes, which shows the 

 shape. They have a dark green skin, .striped with lighter 

 shades of green and yellow, are very productive and of the 

 finest quality. As a squash for frying, they are unequalled, 

 being superior in flavor to egg-plant. They are also delicious 

 when made into fritters. Customers who have never grown 

 this excellent squash will be fully repaid by giving it a trial. 

 Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; 34 lb., 40e.; lb., $1.25. 



EARLY PROLIFIC ORANGE MARROW^. This new 

 variety ripens full two weeks ahead of the Boston Marrow 

 and excels it in productiveness and keeping qualities. It is 

 of very handsome color, medium in size, sweet flavor, with 

 thick, high-colored orange flesh, fine grained and dry when 

 cooked, making it a most desirable variety as a fall squash. 

 Growing very quickly, it does well when planted as a second 

 crop, following early peas, potatoes, etc. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.: 

 34 lb., 25c.; lb., 75c.

 golden yellow color, remarkably good in quality and very 

 productive. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; !41b., 30c.; lb., Sl.OO.

 duction of great merit ; of a very pretty bright red color outr 

 side, slightly streaked with dark yellow and green ; the 

 fle<h inside is of bright yellow color, very sweet, dry, and of 

 delicious flavor. The shell is the hardest of any squash we 

 have ever seen. They grow to a diameter of five to six 

 inches, and are enormously productive, each vine bearing 

 fifteen to twenty perfect squashes. Pkt., 6e.; oz., lOc; 34 lb.,
