WOICEVEGETABLE SEEDS 



WINTER KING CELERY. 



(See colored plate opposite. ) 

 An attractive feature of this variety is that while the other 

 stalks are green, it naturally produces many golden hearts, 

 which are decidedly crisp, very tender and of excellent flavor. 

 In addition to these desirable qualities, it is one of the best of the 

 winter-keeping Celeries, and may be allowed to remain in the 

 trench for a long time, and will come out in first-class condition, 

 solid and free from rot. The plants make a strong growth and 

 are very easy to blanch, which is a decided advantage to the 

 amateur gardener, and also a valuable feature for the market 

 grower. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 50 cts. ; J lb., $1.50. 



EARLY BLACK BEAUTY 



EGG-PLANT. 



(See colored plate opposite.) 

 This beautiful Egg-PIant is a great improvement over the 

 well-known and largely-grown New York Improved Large 

 Purple. The plants are remarkably healthy in their growth, 

 and produce an abundance of large fruits fully ten days earlier 

 than the New York Improved. The skin is of a rich purplish- 

 black color, making the fruit very attractive in appearance. It 

 is also entirely spineless. The quality is all that could be de- 

 sired. Pkt., 10 cts.; J oz., 30 cts.; oz., 50 cts.; J lb., $1.25. 



YELLOW ICE-CREAM 

 WATERMELON. 



This unique Watermelon is aptly described in a 

 letter received from Mr. E. Stanley Brown, Horti- 

 culturist, East Moriches, N. Y., in which he writes: 

 "After repeated trials, covering four years, I have no 

 hesitancy in stating that Yellow Ice Gream is the ' par 

 excellence ' of all Watermelons. The vines are 

 strong, inclined to overbear, and whether fully grown 

 or undeveloped, there seems to be no difference in 

 their high quality of melons, being sweet and crisp. 

 The flesh is bright golden-yellow, skin beautiful 

 green and shape elongated. Our household preferred 

 it to any of several other varieties grown, and found 

 that by laying them on the barn floor, away from the 

 chilly blasts, they kept well into the winter. If I 

 could have only one variety of Watermelon it would 

 be Yellow Ice Cream." Pkt. , 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; 

 i lb., 50 cts.; lb., §1.50. 



SENATOR PEA. 



Peas fit to pick in about sixty-one days, pods about 

 4 inches long, curved and rich dark-green color, well 

 filled with medium size, green, wrinked peas, which 

 are very sweet and tender. These are the qualities 

 which recommend this second early Pea to every one 

 who has a garden. The vines grow about 2^ to 3 

 feet in height, and when given proper support will 

 yield an enormous crop. Pkt., 10 cts., by mail. 

 By express or freight, at purchaser's expense, pt., 20 

 cts.; qt., 35 cts. (If pint or quart is wanted by- 

 Parcel Post add postage as per page 35.) 4 qts., 

 $1.25; peck, $2.25. 



THE LEADER PEA. 



This variety was produced by carefully selecting 

 the rounder seeds found in " Gradus," or " Prosper- 

 ity," the originator desiring to secure a more hardy 

 variety. It is an English Pea, and seed we supply 

 was grown in England. Vines grow 3 feet high, 

 make a vigorous growth and produce the large pods 

 in great abundance fully as early as "Gradus," but 

 usually larger and more pods to each plant. It is 

 hardy and may be planted early, thus providing 

 a supply of luscious Peas at a very early season. 

 Pkt., 10 cts , by mail. By express or freight, at 

 purchaser's expense, pt., 25 cts.; qt., 40 cts. (If 

 pint or quart is wanted by Parcel Post add postage as 

 per page 35.) 4 qts., $1.50; peck, $2.50. 



POTLATCH PEA. 



(See colored plate opposite.) 



A large-podded variety of wrinkled Pea, which is very pro- 

 ductive and of excellent quality. The vines grow to a height 

 of about 20 inches; foliage is a healthy dark green color and 

 crop matures in about sixty-five days. The pods, which are 

 borne in pairs, are long, dark green, and well filled with large 

 Peas, which, when cooked, still retain their attractive dark green 

 color. " Potlatch" will surely please all who plant it. Pkt , 

 10 cts., by mail. By express or freight, at purchaser's expense, 

 pt. , 20 cts.; qt., 35 cts. (If pint or quart is wanted by Parcel 

 Post add postage as. per page 35.) 4 qts., $1.25; peck, 

 $2.25. 



DWARF STONE TOMATO. 



(See colored plate opposite.) 



A dwar. sturdy plant, like the Dwarf Champion in habit, but 

 of stronger growth. The fruits are large, bright red in color, 

 and resemble the original Stone in shape. Ten Tomatoes picked 

 from one vine at the same time weighed five pounds and three 

 ounces, and the plants were grown under field culture without 

 any fertilizer. The shape of this Tomato is perfect, with good 

 skin, very solid flesh and excellent flavor. Plants are very stocky 

 and do not spread much, but make vigorous growth, 

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