"W^ONDERFUL" I.ETTUCE. 



We were fortunate in being the introducers of this 

 valuable variety, and the fact that many of those who 

 purchased the seed of " Wonderful " the first time it 

 was offered have continued to include it in their order 

 each spring is an indication of its pleasing qualities. 

 The heads grow to an enormous size, and resemble 

 cabbage in their solidity, measuring from 12 to 15 

 inches across, and frequently weighing 2 and 3 pounds 

 each. The quality is superb, being crisp, rich and 

 tender. It withstands the heat well, making a fine 

 varieiy for all seasons. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; |- 

 Ib., 60 cts. 



HARRIS' 

 EARWEST WATERMELON. 



This is an excellent variety of Watermelon, and it 

 will rank as one of the best early sorts. The melons 

 are rather large for an early variety, slightly oval in 

 shape, skin mottled light and dark green. It grows 

 uniform in size and shape ; the flesh is solid, bright 

 red, very tender and sweet. Pkt., 10 ct-S.; oz., 15 

 cts.;l lb,, 40 cts ; lb., $1.25. 



SNOWBOUNU 

 WATERMEEON. 



Among our trials of melons 

 last summer we found this va- 

 riety to be of most delicious 

 flavor, notwithstanding an un- 

 favorable season. The vines 

 made a healthy growth and 

 bore profusely. Melons are 

 oblong in shape, quite large, 

 have gray skin and rind is 

 tough enough to stand ship- 

 ment. The flesh is light pi-nk, 

 very tender and of remarkably 

 sweet flavor. We consider it 

 a desirable melon for home 

 use. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 

 Jib., 30 cts.; lb., $1.00. 



OREER'S 

 DWARF 

 PERFECTION 

 PARSEEY. 



This is a fine and most valu- 

 able Parsley. The habit is 

 regular and compact, and the 

 exquisitely fine and prettily 

 curled leaves are set so closely 

 that the form of the plant is 

 almost semi-globular. The 

 color is a wonderful bright pea- 

 green, and flavor surpasses all 

 other Parsley. This variety 

 combines the quality of a fine 

 culin.iry herb with that of a 

 beautiful decorative plant, and 

 is equally valuable for garnish- 

 ing pmposes and borders. 

 Pkt., 10 cts ; oz , 35 cts.; J- 

 lb., $1 00. 



CHINESE GIANT PEPPER, 



This variety is undoubtedly the largest sweet Pepper ever of- 

 fered. The plant is of strong, vigorous growth, about 2 feet 

 high when fully grown, and a very prolific bearer. The Pep- 

 pers grow much larger than the Ruby King, and are of a bright 

 scarlet color when ripe. The flesh is quite thick, very mild and 

 remarkably sweet, without the least Ir.ice of fieriness. They 

 give much better and more satisfactory results from having a 

 long season of growth, therefore the plants should be set out as 

 early in spring as practicable. Pkt., 10 cts.; ^ oz., 30 cts.; oz., 

 50 cts.; -} lb.,, $1.25. 



NEAPOLITAN PEPPER. 



A variety of sweet Pejiper which has been controlled by 

 Italians, who marketed their Peppers fully a week ahead of 

 other growers. It grows about 3 inches long but not as thick 

 through as " Bull Nose; " the flesh, however, is very thick and 

 remarlcably sweet. Pkt., 10 cts; J oz., 30 cts.; oz., 50 cts.; 

 I lb., §1.25. 



SUGAR, OR NEW ENGLAND PIE 

 PUMPKIN. 



For making pies this variety cannot be excelled. The Pump- 

 kins are small, but very sweet, fine grained and of the best qual- 

 ity. The skin is deep orange and flesh rich yellow. Pkt , 10 

 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; J lb., 30 cts.; lb., $1.00.
