PETER HENDERSON & CO.— VEGETABLE SEED NOVEliTIES. 



fawUlTE 



Netu GUhite Top Onion. 



Two years age we introduced the White Multiplier Onion, and it gave 

 ^rrcat satisfaction in many sections where a hardy, rapid-growing onion 

 vas desired. In the NEW WHITE TOP ONION we have a variety 

 that produces onions of much larger size and finer quality. Our 6tock 

 this season is extremely limited, so we can offer it only in small quanti- 

 ties. (See cut.) 60 cts. % pint, $1.00 per pint. 



RAPID FORCING RADISH. 



This grand variety resembles the White Tipped Scarlet 

 Turnip Radish, but is much earlier, coming to maturity in 

 22 days from the time of sowing and having very small tops, 

 and will prove to be the Radish for forcing purposes. Being 

 very handsome and of fine quality, it is equally desirable for 

 the garden. Price, 10 cts. per pkt., 20 cts. peroz., 60 cts. 

 per % lb., $2.00 per lb. 



new radish, 

 Brightest ^Scarlet. 



Radishes are probably more largely used in France than in 

 any other country, and the long varieties have always. been 

 more popular there than any others. "Brightest Scarlet" 

 is a new French variety that all should try. It is entirely 

 distinct, being a vivid scarlet color tipped with snow-white. 

 The 6kin is very thin, and the flesh crisp and brittle and of a 

 delightful pungent quality. • The cut shows its shape, but a 

 colored engraving is really necessary to give any idea of its 

 striking appearance. A dish of them will enhance the beauty 

 of any table. (See cut.) 15 cts. per pkt., 40 cts. per oz., $1.00 

 per Yt lb. 



THE JONES WATERMELON. 



We are indebted to Mr. Philip S. Jones, ot Georgia, for 

 this splendid melon. The color of the 6kin Is solid green, 

 and the flesh is a very bright red, particularly sweet, juicy 

 and melting. It grows to a large size, frequently attain- 

 ing the weight of eighty pounds. In shape it resembles 

 Kolb's Gem, and like that variety is one of the best ship- 

 ping sorts. A car-load of these melons which was sent to 

 Atlanta this past summer attracted a great deal of atten- 

 tion, bringing forth a long article from the Atlanta. Consti- 

 tution, stating they were the finest melons ever seen in 

 Atlanta ; and when it is considered that Georgia is called 

 the " home of the watermelon," the force of this statement 

 will be apparent to all. (See cut.) 15 cts. per pkt., 8 pkts. 

 for $1.00. 



Your seeds this year gave me, as they always have done, the utmost 



satisfaction. I took both 1st and 2d premiums on celery Rt our couDty 



fair this fall; the varieties wore " White Plume" and "Golden 8elf- 



blanching." W. A. Dobsos,
