EUREKA CABBAGE. 



A/so knoivn as " First Early." 

 A flat-headed Cabbage, fully as early in maturing as the well- 

 known Early Jersey Wakefield. It is a cross of a fine strain 

 of Early Jersey Wakefield on the well-known Succession 

 Cabbage, and is now thoroughly fixed as to type. It matures 

 its large, flat heads fully as early as the Wakefield, and the 

 quality is excellent. The heads are very solid and leaves ten- 

 der, being entirely free from coarseness. The plants may be 

 set as close in the field as the Wakefield, and can be depended 

 upon to head up well. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; J lb., $1.00 



DREER'S MONARCH CELERY. 



This splendid variety was introduced by us several years ago, 

 and is now considered one of the most desirable sorts. It lias 

 taken a number of prizes at exhibitions of vegetables, and its 

 handsome appearance and exquisite flavor quickly appeal to 

 all who grow it. The stalks are large and have a magnificent 

 bright golden-yellow heart; very solid, brittle and of most 

 delicious flavor, and when properly grown is entirely free from 

 stringyness. It is a very desirable Celery, both for home use 

 and for market, as it is a remarkably good keeper, and presents 

 a handsome appearance when ready for the table. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 oz., 35 cts.; I lb., $1.00. 



BREER'S 

 "^WONDERFUE" EETTUCE. 



We were fortunate in being the introducers of this valuable 

 variety, having first offered the seed eight years ago. 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 variety for all seasons. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; J lb. 50 

 Cts. 



BEACK BEAUTY EGG-PI.ANT. 



This beautiful Egg-Plant 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 desired, 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; fib., §1.25. 



DEFENDER MUSKMEEON. 



A salmon-fleshed variety, medium size and of exquisite 

 flavor. The fruits are oval in shape, slightly ribbed and are 

 covered with a slight netting. The flesh is firm, fine grained, 

 rich, deep yellow, darker than the Osage and better flavor. The 

 flesh extends to the rind and retains its quality to the outer 

 sliell, which, while thin, is hard and firm, so that the edible 

 portion maybe removed with a spoon, leaving a rind no thicker 

 than an orange. The vine is vigorous and productive, and the 

 fruits, because of their hard, firm rind, are remarkably good 

 keepers. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; J lb., 35 cts.; lb., 

 $1.00. 



MONTE CRISTO, or KEECKEEY 

 SWEETS WATERMELON. 



Where sweetness combined with large size is desired this 

 variety will surely please, as it not only produces melons above 

 the medium size, but has that crisp, sugary flavor so much 

 desired in a Watermelon. The vines are of vigorous growth, 

 and produce a large crop of melons, which are of good size, 

 oval shape, skin dark green and .somewhat mottled. The rind 

 is thin, thus making it undesirable as a variety to ship long 

 distances, but sufficiently tough to stand carrying to nearby 

 markets. The heart is large and solid and flavor all that 

 could be desired. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; i lb., 35 cts.; lb., 

 $1.00.
