GENERAL LIST OF STANDARD VEGETABLES. — 
From this page up to page 90 will be found the most complete general list I would again call the attention of my friends to the fact that this vear I give 
Vof vegetable seeds offered by any seed house in this country. You will find | away no free books or free sample packets for trial. Every customer has the 
there listed not only all the good old standbys, but also many novelties and | privilege of selecting his own premium on the basis of 50 cents worth of seeds in 
specialties of comparatively recent introduction. Many seedsmen think after | packets for every dollar ordered. In this way you cam secure for trial, free 
| their novelty pages are completed, the catalogue is finished, and any old thing | of cost, a packet of as many things in this catalogue as you may desire, the 
»will do for the balance of the book. I have given as much care and attention | number of packets only being limited by the amount of the order. In past 
\to the following white pages as to the preceding ones in yellow, and my cus- | years I distributed hundreds of thousands of packets, many of which have 
tomers will find in this general list many varieties of seeds that should really | been of no use to the recipient, because they were varieties they did not need,

There are two distinct types of artichokes, known x , ee 
respectively as Jerusalem and Globe. The former f 
M is a tuberous rooted sunflower; the latter a mem- Ay 
} 
ber of the same botanic family, but grown exclusively for its flower buds. 
JERUSALEM.—Hardy perennial. Culture same as potatoes. Fit for pick- 
ling, ete., but grown largely for swine. Hogs root the tubers out of the soil. 
Lb., 85 cts.; 8 lbs, 75 ets., postpaid. By express or freight, pk., $1.00; bu., $3.00. 
NEW WHITH FRENCH.—This is an improved form of the well known 
Jerusalem artichoke, producing white tubers. It is entirely hardy and a 
heavy cropper. It is claimed that an acre of White French Artichokes will 
safely winter thirty or more hogs. The tubers are not injured by severe 
freezing, and the hogs will root them out whenever the soil is not frozen hard. 
Pound, 50 cts.; 8 pounds, $1.25, postpaid. Peck, $2.00; bushel, $6.00. 
GREEN GLOBE.—A table vegetable of very high merit. Perennial. Use 
flower buds just before full development. Start seed in border and set plants 
4x4 feet. Protect with winter mulch north of Delaware. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 80c. 
hr CULTURE.—1 ounce of seed in drills will produce 400 plants. Soak the seed. 
= | Select strong one-year plants for making a plantation. Set deeply in rows 5 feet 
— apart, 144 feet or more apart in row. This will require 6,000 plants per acre. 
: BARR’S PHILADELPHIA MAMMOTH. — It throws 
strong, well developed shoots the entire season, and always 
commands top notch prices in the discriminating Philadel- 
phia market. At three years old Barr’s Mammoth has 
yielded at the rate of $500 per acre. Packet,5 cents; ounce, 
10 cents; 44 pound, 20 cents; pound 60 cents. Roots, l-year- 
old, 100 by mail, postpaid, $1.00. By express, not prepaid, 
l-year-old, $4.00 per 1,000; 2-year-old, $6.00 per 1,000. 
COLUMBIAN MAMMOTH WHITE.—A comparatively 
Wi, NW new variety, with white shoots which stay white. Packet, 
iN \ i 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 44 pound, 20 cents; pound, 60 cents. 
Ia t LZ Roots, l-year-old, 100 by mail, $1.00, postpaid. By express, not f 
prepaid, l-year-old, $4.00 per 1,000; 2-year-old, $6.00 per 1,000. ? 
PALMETTO.—Farlier than Conover’s. Of Southern ori- BARR’S PHILADELPHIA MAMMOTH. 
gin, but suitable for North also. Large and productive. Packet, 5 cents.; ounce, 10 cents.; 
14 pound, 20 cents; pound, 60 cents. Roots, l-year-old, 100 by mail, $1.00, postpaid. By express 
not prepaid, l-year-old, $4:00 per 1,000; 2-year-old, $6.00 per 1,000. 
GIANT ARGENTEUIL.—The seed which I offer is a selection from imported French Argen- 
teuil stock. My strain is an improvement upon the original. In the South it is regarded as 
distinctly superior to Palmetto, and I recommend it with great confidence to Northern growers. 
One experienced grower says that Argenteuil is as much larger than Palmetto as Palmetto is 
larger than Conover. It has a place of its own in the New York and Boston markets, and sells 
for $1.00 to $2.00 more per dozen bunches than the best of the old sorts. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 
15 cents; 144 pound, 380 cents; pound, $1.00. 1-year-old roots, $1.00 per 100, postpaid. By express, not 
prepaid, l-year-old, 75 cents per 100; $5.00 per 1,000. 2-year-old, $1.00 per 100; $6.00 per 1,C09.
