 This Beet is remarkable for its smooth skin and fine shape. 

 We have been growing it in our trial grounds for several years, 

 and could not help noting its many desirable qualities. It is a 

 second early variety, does not grow large and coarse, the ma- 

 tured Beets being medium in size and rather oblong in shape. 

 The flesh and skin are both very dark and quality fine, being 

 sweet and tender. The tops are small and dark in color. Wc 

 are confident that this Beet will please all who plant it. Pkt.,

HONEY DEW MELON 



(See illustration on opposite page) 

 This new Melon is unlike the ordinary muskmelon or canta- 

 loupe both in appearance and flavor, the outer skin being smooth, 

 hard and nearly white. The melons are large, round to oval 

 in shape, extremely thick meated and have a very small seed 

 cavity; flesh is light green, very solid and of a rich honey- 

 like flavor, luscious and juicy, much more so than any variety of 

 muskmelon. It is an excellent keeping melon and fruits may 

 be laid away for use Jate in the fall when they will be greatly 

 appreciated, not only for their delightful flavor, but because 

 the other varieties of melons are gone. On account of the 

 hard shell it is an excellent shipper, carrying safely for long 

 distances without being bruised or damaged in any manner. 

 It is suitable for growing in all places of equal latitude to 

 Philadelphia and the West, including California, but we do 

 not recommend it for planting in the New England States, or 

 locations where the growing season is short. Pkt., 15 cts.; 

 oz., 45 cts.; £ lb., $1.25; lb., $4.50.

 and the crop matures in about 65 days. The pods, which are 

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

 Peas. Because of its great productiveness and fine quality, the

CHINESE GIANT PEPPER 



(See illustration on opposite page) 



Where a mild Pepper suitable for filling is desired, this variety 

 will answer the purpose better than any other, and the extremely 

 large size of fruits will surprise all who grow it this year for the 

 first time. The plant makes a strong growth of both stalk and 

 leaves, and when fully grown is about two feet high, bearing a 

 number of the large Peppers near the bottom. It is very much 

 larger in size than " Ruby King" which variety has been a 

 great favorite for a number of years past. The Peppers are of 

 a bright scarlet color when fuily matured and the flesh is quite 

 thick and mild in flavor. It is an excellent variety, particularly 

 where the growing season is long, and 'he plants should be set 

 out as early in the spring as possible. Pkt., 10 cts.; £ oz. , 45 

 cts.; oz., 80 cts.; J lb., $2.50.

 feeling sure that it will fully satisfy all who desire to grow large 

 Onions from seed. The bulbs are true globe-shape, with skin 

 of a pleasing yellow color, flesh white and of a mild flavor,

 Southport Yellow Globe, but is far superior in every way, much 

 more productive, and we especially recommend it for planting 

 in the home garden. Pkt., 15 cts.; oz., 75 cts.; \ lb., $2.00. 



PIMIENTO PEPPER 



The sweetest Pepper grown, as it does not contain the 

 slightest trace of fieriness. The plants are productive and 

 Peppers medium size and of a shape which is desirable for filling, 

 and when prepared in this manner they are delicious. It may also 

 be used in preparing salads and for flavoring, in which case it 

 will add a fresh and delightful flavor. The flesh is quite thick and 

 the Pepper may be scalded for peeling the skin off. When fully 

 ripe the Peppers are a brilliant red color and very attractive.
