THICK-HEAD YELLOW LETTUCE. Makes uniformly large, thick 
heads, as solid as a cabbage. Leaves are slightly crumpled, of a 

beautiful greenish yellow color, and always of remarkable tenderness. 
This is accounted for from the fact that it heads more rapidly than any 
of the large Lettuces. Undoubtedly one of the finest varieties ever tested 
on my trial grounds. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; 144lb., 60 cts.; 1b., $2.00. 
WHITE VELVET 
OKRA. 
Produces pods larger 
than any other. They are 
never prickly to the 
touch, and always round 
and smooth, while in 
other varieties they are 
either ridged or square- 
edged. At the same time 
4,it is very productive and 
will out-yieldevery other 
sort. It is certainly 
worthy of a trial by all 
my customers. Packet, 
© cents; ounce, 10 cents; 
l4-pound, 25 cents.

NEW COLUSIBUS MUSKIIELON. 
First introduced in my 1892 seed book, and although more than ten 
| thousand of my customers have grown it to their entire satisfaction, it 
| can still be considered a novelty. 
The flesh is wonderfully sweet and 
melting, and of a spicy flavor ; skin is finely netted, and as a shipping 
Melon, Columbus is undoubtedly unsurpassed, one customer in Califor. 
nia reporting that it stood the heat better than any other variety, al- 
though at onetime the thermometer was 109 in the shade, and every 
other Melon was completely cooked and spoiled except Columbus. 
Packet, 10 cents ; ounce, 20 cents; 4 Ib., 50 cents; Ib., $1.50. 

TILTON’S WHITE STAR LETTUCE. 
This variety has been highly recommended by my friends, D. M. 
Ferry & Co., who consider it one of the very best varieties for forcing 
or early planting in the open ground. It forms a large loose head, has 
thick savoyed leaves, which keep it fit for use along time. Cannot help 
satisfying the most critical market trade. I offer seed direct from the in- 
traducers. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; 14 1b., 60 cts.; 1b., $2.00. 
what a good thing it will be for you 
Do You Appreciate if you have a few extra vegetables to 
sell next spring. See what a correspondent from Norfolk, Virginia, 
wrote The Country Gentleman last September: 
“In April or May we sent North fully $1,000,000 worth of strawber- 
ries. In May, June and July we sent up enough cabbages, cucumbers, 
tomatoes, potatoes and other farm products to swell the aggregate to 
fully $5,000,000—this being the largest amount of money everreceived by 
our truckers for their produce in such a shorttime. In other words, 
just exactly at the time the panic threatened to strike us hard, we be- 
gan getting back from New York and other great financial, commercial 
and consuming centres, a perfect flood of money, and this flow con- 
tinued until fully $5,000,000 stood between this section of country and a 
panic. The result is that the panic did not come at all; business with 
a few minor interruptions has moved along at even pace, and we have 
not only had plenty of money for our own use and necessities, but we 
| know that many thousands of dollars of ‘truck money’ from Norfolk 
has gone to sister cities in Virginia to help them tide over the tight 
time. One really valuable lesson our people have learned—to appre 
ate the value of their trucking interests. Our trucking operations ar 
confined to a limit of twenty miles around Norfolk, as the most of 
‘truck’ is of such perishable nature as to prevent long shi 
the produce must be gotten from producer to consumer i

NEW LONG CARDINAL RADISH. 
Fit for use in 25 days from sowing the seed. It is particularly noted 
for its crisp, tender flesh, and bright attractive color of skin. In shape 
very regular, smooth and conical; flesh of the finest quality. I am sure 
it will delight all my customers. Crop this year almost a total failure

there are hundreds of other sections of this great country where the
