DENVER MARKET LETTUCE. 
It is an early variety of Head Lettuce, either for forcing or open 
ground. It forms large, solid heads, of a good light-green color, and is 
very slow to run to seed. The leaves are beautifully curled and crimped 
(like the Savoy Cabbages) and are very tender, crisp and of excellent 
flavor. The crimped leaves distinguish it from any other kind of Lettuce. 
C. C. Morse & Co., seed growers, California, say: “It is the best novelty 
ever sent to us, and tried in our trial grounds, together with ninety- 
six other varieties of Lettuce, we found it to be the best.’’ Packet, 10 
cents; ounce, 20 cents; 14 pound, 60 cents; Ib., $2.00. 
THE NEW FRENCH 
TOMATO, CHEMIN. 
This New French Tomato was origi- 
nated by Mr. Chemin, the Paris market 
gardener, who originated the now famous 
Golden Self-Blanching Celery. It is sel- 
dom that foreign varieties of tomatoes 
are of any value in America; but excep- 
tion proves the rule, and in the Chemin 
we have the exception, for it certainly is 
an acquisition. As can beseen from the 
illustration, the fruit is very distinct, in 
fact it very much resembles an apple. 
This, together with their unusual round- 
\ ness and bright scarlet color, make them 
} very noticeable, whether in the market 
basket or on the vines. Vines are very 
healthy and of vigorous growth; and 
while it matures its fruit very early, at 
the same time it is remarkably produc- 
tive, tomatoes being produced in bunches 
of ten and fifteen fruits. Mr. James H. 
Cook, of Canada, reports he picked ripe 
tomatoes 113 days from planting, and that 
an average Chemin measuring 914 inches 
in circumference, weighed 634 ounces, 
while a Dwarf Champion, exactly the 
same size weighed 6 ounces, and an Opti- 
mus 584 ounces. From this it will be 
seen they are unusually solid, and taking 
them all in all, Chemin is sure to make 
many friends among lovers of this deli- 
cious vegetable. Pkt., 10 cents; oz., 25 
cents; 14Ib., 60 cts. ; Ib., $2.25.

MAULE’S EXTRA EARLY CUCUMBER. 
This new Cucumber is a cross between Russian and Green Prolific. = 
Fully as early as the former, while it combines all the fine pickling a 
qualities of the latter. Always grows uniformly and wonderfully pro- 6 
ductive; seldom, if ever, produces a cucumber too large for pickling. 6, 
A celebrated grower of Cucumbers writes: ‘It makes a standard com- 
mercial pickle, and in its younger state it is a perfect gem for bottling. 
Its extreme earliness, in addition to its many other good qualities, will 
make it of great value to market gardeners for bottling or commerce.”

THE FAXON SQUASH. £. L. Coy, has this to say: “I find The 
Faxon to be the most productive of any variety of winter Squash I have

ever, but I would earnestly advise you to catalogue it. Your customers 
will all thank you for it. Although the color varies, the peculiar shape

of flavor.” Pkt.,15cts.;2pkts., 25 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; 141b., $1.25. 
THE GARDEN LETION.

Peach in manner of growth 
and shape of fruit, but is dis- 
tinct in that the unripe fruit 
is striped with very dark 
green, nearly black. 
Fruit is somewhat smaller, 
has thinner flesh and is de- 
cidedly more acid, thus dis- 
pensing with the sliced lem- 
ons, which are so important ¢ 
in putting up the Melon 
Peach. Cultivate like Musk- 5 
melon in hills three feet< 
apart each way. Full direc- 4 
. tions for cooking in various ° 
manners accompany each
