HEW wihteh mw popipkin 



This pumpkin, named and introduced by us live years 

 since, is the result of six years' careful selection and im- 

 provement by a veteran pumpkin grower, and is pronounced 

 by hundreds of our customers the very best pumpkin for 

 pies that they have ever known. It grows uniformly to a 

 diameter of ten to twelve inches, and is enormously pioduc- 

 tive. In color it is a beautiful golden yellow, very finely 

 and closely netted, like a netted muskmelen, as shown in 

 photograph above. As a winter keeper and cooking variety 

 it stinds unequalled. Pkt.,5c.: oz,, lOc; J^ lb, 25c.; lb.. 75c. 



TRUE TENNESSKE SWEET POTATO. One of the 

 very best pie pumpkins. They grow pear-shaped, to good 

 size, slightly ribbed; skin is a creamy white, flesh very 

 thick, creamy white, dry and fine grained, keeping well until 

 late in the spring. When cooked, resemble sweet potatoes, 

 but more delicious. The vines are hardy and enormously 

 productive. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; 14 lb., 20c.: lb., 60c. 



GOLDEN OBLONG. A very fine new and productive 

 variety, growing oblong to a length of si.^teen to eighteen 

 inches, and seven to eight inches in diameter. The outside 

 skin is dark green when young, changing to a deep golden 

 color as it ripens. Flesh rich yellow, very sweet, dry and 

 excellent for pies. Its keeping qualities are almost equal to 

 winter squashes. Pkt., 5e.; oz., lOc; ^4 "^ > 25c.; lb., 75c. 



Common Yellow Field. Very productive, and grown 

 for feeding stock. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lO'c; lb., 2.5c.; 10 lbs., S2.0J.

SCARLET, or CARDINAL GLOBE. For forcing in 

 greenhouse hot-beds, or cold-frames, and for sowing on 

 open borders early in the spring, there is no other red variety 

 that will pay better, as, on account of its very attractive color 

 and shape (as shown in the above photograph), it sells better 

 than most other varieties. It is one of the earliest; In flavor 

 it is mild, crisp, juicy and tender. It forms a small top and 

 will stand a great amount of heat without becoming pithv. 

 Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; U lb., 2.5c ; lb., 75c. 



ROSY GEM, or RAPID FORCING (White Tipped 

 Scarlet Ball). Since we first introduced this wonderful 

 new radish it has won golden ociinions in all sections of the 

 country. It is one of the very earliest in cultivation, being 

 a week earlier than Scarlet Turnip White Tipped, which it 

 somewhat resembles in form and color. Its shape is per- 

 fectly globular, with rich deep scarlet top, blending into pure 

 white at the bottom, exceedingly tender, crisp and delicious, 

 never becoming hollow or pithy. It is fit to pull in three 

 weeks from sowing. Pkt., .ic: oz., lOc; K lb., 30c.; lb., 90c. 



OLIVE-SHAPED GOLDEN YELLOW. This is the 

 earliest and best yellow radish, equally well adapted as an 

 early forcing or summer radish. It is of very rapid growth 

 and fine quality ; flesh white, tender, crisp and biittle; very 

 small top. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c ; J4 lb., 25c.; lb., 75c.

KELTON'S MODEL, WHITE BOX R.^IIISH. 



FELTON'S MODEL WHITE BOX. The Felton's 

 Model possesses all the excellent qualities of the popular 

 Philadelphia Wliite Box, but is superior in many other 

 respects, being much handsomer and earlier, with fewer and 

 shorter leaves; hence it can be sown more thickly in the row, 

 enabling the grower to raise at least one-third more radishes 

 in the same space, under glass, in boxes, or open ground. 

 Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; % lb., 20c.; lb., 60c.; 5 lbs.,S3.00, by express.
