I.KTTUCE 



We were fortunate in being the intro- 

 ducers 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 indica- 

 tion of its pleasing qualities. It has be- 

 come a popular variety, particularly in the 

 South, where it withstands extreme heat 

 and forms perfect heads, of enormous size, 

 which resemble cabbage in their solidity, 

 measuring from 12 to 15 inches across and 

 frequently weighing 2 to 3 pounds each. 

 The outer leaves tightly overlap, and are 

 rich, dark green in color, while the heart 

 blanches up beautifully, and the quality 

 is supurb, being crisp, rich and tender. 

 This is the Lettuce which is grown so 

 largely in California and shipped through- 

 out the whole country, and eagerly sought 

 by those who appreciate the best quality. 

 It will produce splendid heads either when 

 planted in the spring, or during the sum- 

 mer and may be depended upon for all 

 seasons. Pkt. , 10 cts.; oz. , 40 cts. ;| 

 lb., 11.25. 



FRENCH 

 IINRIVAI<I.E» I.ETTUCE 



A sure-heading variety, suitable for growing at any season. 

 Forms large, compact, buttery heads, and is slow to shoot to 

 seed. The general character is similar to "Big Boston," except 

 that the color is a lighter green and leaves are not tinged with 

 brown. The seed we supply was secured from the originator in 

 France, and is much better than the American strain of "Unri- 

 valled" Lettuce. Pkt, 10 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; ^ lb., $1.25.

NETTED ROCK MUSKIIELON 



A handsome and distinct varie'y, about the same size as Rocky 

 Ford, but more heavily netted. The seed cavily is SKall, and 

 the flesh, which is green, is thick and sweet, containing a higher 

 percentage of sugar than any other variety. An important 

 feature of this variety is its ability to withstand rust and blight, 

 so much so that it is almost proof against either. The size and 

 shape combine to make this variety well adapted for both home 

 use and shipping. Pkt., 10 cts. ; oz., 20 cts.; Jib., 60 cts. ; 

 lb., $L75.

As a Musknielon for the private garden, 

 this variety will please all who plant it. The 

 vines make a strong, vigorous growth, which 

 enables lliem to withsland disease and pro- 

 duce an abundant crop of the most delicious 

 Muskmelons one can imagine. The melons 

 rre not large, but of convenient size for table 

 Use, and present a fine appearance. The 

 rind and flesh at blossom end are very firm, 

 the skin is thickly netted, and flesh a rich, 

 deep orange color, fine grained and of re- 

 markable sweetness. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 

 cts.; i lb., 60 cts.; lb., |2.00. 



VEEEOW ICE CREAM 

 ^WATERMEEON 



Mr. E. Stanley Brown, horticulturist. 

 East Moriches, N. Y., writes: "After re- 

 peated trials I have no hesitancy in stating 

 that Yellow Ice Cream is the 'par excel- 

 lence' of Watermelons. Vines are inclined 

 to overbear, and whelhw fully grown or un- 

 developed, the melons are sweet and crisp. 

 The flesh is bright golden-yellow; skin green 

 and shape elongated. By laying them on 

 barn floor, away from chilly blasts, they kept 

 well into winter. The patch was found by 

 night prowlersand this variety was nearly all 

 taken, while others were left. If I could 

 have only one variety of Watermelon it 

 would be Yellow Ice Cream " Pkt., 10 

 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; J lb., 70 cts.; lb., 

 $2.25.
