MAMMOTH LUSei©OS SL^G^R PEH. 



Nothing has ever anywheres near approached Mammoth Luscious in size or deli- 

 cacy of flavor, it being far superior to Melting Sugar or any other variety of Peas, 

 Khelled or sugar. Dr. F. M. Hexan^ier, editor of the American Agriculturist writes : "We 

 have grown nearly every variety of Sugar Peas listed in seedsmen's catalogues, but 

 have never seen anything to compare with the Mammoth Luscious." This is the gen- 

 eral verdict. This new Sugar Pea bears pods much larger than any other variety and 

 are from 6 to 7 inches long, and an inch and a half broad. They are entirely free from 

 membraneous lining and strings, and combine flavor and brittleness and succulence 

 far ahead of all other kinds. They continue long in bearing, and even when old they 

 boil down as tender and nice as when young. The vines grow 6 feet long and require 

 Bticlis. The pods are so long and broad that they should be sliced, boiled about ten min- 

 utes, or fifteen if old, and have a little batter or white sauce put over them, when they 

 will be ready to supply the table of the most fastidious epicure; and as they contain so 

 much sugar, starch and gluten, are very nutritious for family use. They should not be 

 shelled, but the peas and pod eaten together. As can readily be seen from the above de- 

 scription, a very few pods, gathered quickly from a small piece of ground is sulflcient 

 for any ordinary family. These pods can be sliced and boiled in fifteen minutes, so that 

 tlie whole operation from gathering to the table can be done in less than an hour. The 

 ordinary shelled varieties, as is well known, require a much longer time to gather and 

 shell, and a very much larger piece of ground to supply a family. If you have never 

 grown Sugar Peas, do not miss this opportunity. If you have sown them before, you 

 should certainly Include Mammoth Luscious in your order, as no lover of Sugar Peas 

 can miss this chance of obtaining the most delicious Sugar Pea ever ofl'ered. Crop is 

 very short, consequently, I can offer it in small quantities only. Pkt., 16c.; 2 pkts., 25c. 



HONBRED^WEIGHT PUMPKIN. 



When I tell my customers that this Is an extra selection of my Prize Potiron, and 

 that the seed is saved only from specimens weighing 100 pounds each, or over, it will 

 need no further recommendation. For some time past one of my best growers has been se 

 lecting this pumpkin, until now Hundred-Weight will surpass in size every other varietj 

 Specimens weighing 200 and 250 pounds are not unusual. In addition to its enormous size, 

 which is of itself sufficient recommendation; (for as every one know, for years to have the larg- 

 est pumpkin raised in the county has been the ambition of every grower), it is of the finest 

 quality, flesh fine grained and a bright yellow, color of skin a dark salmon. Hundreds of my 

 customers have Informed me that never before have such large pumpkins been produced in 

 their locality as were those grown from seed of Maule's Hundi'ed-Weight. In some cases the 

 monstrosity was considered so rare as to evoke the interest of farmers for many miles around 

 to come to witness the event. As is well known, there are very few more seeds in these big 

 pumpkins than in the smaller ones, consequently, seed of Hundred-Weight will always be 

 Scarce and high in price. I can still offer it in packets only. Packet, 15 cts.; 2 packets, 25 cts. 



Points to take 



Into consideration 



when ordering. 



RUBY PEHRL RHDISH. 



No vegetable is grown in more gardens than the Radish. A vegeta- 

 ble garden Is incomplete without them. The list to select from Is a long 

 and varied one. Of the extra early class we have in Maule's Earliest 

 White the first pure white to come to maturity and in Maule's Earliest 

 Scarlet the first red. The Ruby Pearl is scarlet and white, and is fit for 

 the table 17 to 20 days from the planting. It is invaluable for forcing as 

 well as open ground culture. The form is roundand very smooth; color 

 of skin, bright scarlet, tipped pure white, a striking contrast, making 

 it very attractive. Market gardeners will find It a profitable variety. 

 Packet, 10 cents ; ounce, 15 cents ; % pound, 30 cents ; pound, $1.00. 



NEW LEHFLESS RHDISM. 



A decided aqulsition to our list of early radishes, and a curiosity In 

 any garden that will be sure to attract favorable attention to all visi- 

 tors. This new variety has been named leafiess from the fact that its 

 shyness in developing foliage is more noticeable than in any other 

 variety. The seed lobes make very rapid growth directly from the 

 sprouting of the seed, and are practically the only green parts to be seen 

 until the bulb is fit for pulling ; by this time only one or two very short 

 leaves are produced, which are quite distinct, being rough and crump- 

 led. The shape Is shown in the illustration. Color of skin is very bright 

 scarlet, while the flesh is white, crisp and tender. Although I prepared 

 for a good supply of seed which, by the way, was grown for me in 

 France, where it originated, the nature of the variety Is such that the 

 seed crop cannot be anticipated, it being a very shy seeder. This year 

 1 can offer it in a small way only. Packet, 10 cents ; 3 packets, 25 cents.
