NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES IN VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



Potato, King of Roses. 



This new seedling Potato has been tested on many different soils with the most satisfactory results. It is found to withstand 

 sudden changes of weather, excessive moisture and extreme drought better than any other of the Rose family. It produces 

 much heavier crops of fine, large, handsome tubers, of excellent quality, than any other sort, ripening with the Early Rose. It 

 is a strong, rapid grower, standing up well during cultivation, but when fully developed the vines cover the ground almost com- 

 pletely and so protect it from the hot sun. 



Per peck, 80 cts. ; bus., $2.50; bbl., $6.00. 



HEROINE PEA. 



This valuable, new, medium early Pea comes in between 

 Advancer and Champion of England, and bears a profusion of 

 large, long, slightly curved, pointed pods, containing from 9 to 10 

 large Peas of finest quality. It is an improvement on Stratagem 

 and Pride of the Market. 

 Per pkt., 10 cts. ; pt., 20 cts. ; qt., 40 cts. (qt., by mail, 55 cts.).

THE STA1VI.EY PEA. 



This delicious new Pea is the sweetest in existence. It is a 

 cross with American Wonder and Telephone, and inherits the 

 delicacy of these fine varieties. When seen growing with 

 other sorts it is conspicuous for its uncommonly large foliage, 

 its strong stocky vine and the abundance of its fine l.irge puds. 

 In rich soil it grows about eighteen inches high, bearing pods 

 four inches in length. It is a tremendous cropper and ripens 

 its pods very evenly, so that nearly the entire crcp may be taken 

 t one picking. Per pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; qt., 50 cts. 

 [qt., by mail, 65 cts.). 



CHOU DE BURGHI^EY. 



This new vegetable is a cross between a Cabbage and a 

 Brocoli, and is highly esteemed in English gardens by those 

 who have tried it. A writer in the Gardening World recently 

 says of it : — " I am sure if its good qualities were more widely 

 known, it would be greatly appreciated. One great point in 

 its favor is its extreme hardiness. It stood with me the winter 

 of 1890-91 when all other greenSj with the exception of some 

 Kales, were killed, and the flavor is far superior to that of 

 other Cabbages in the winter." The seed should not be sown 

 until the latter part of April or in May, and otherwise treated 

 as a Cabbage. Per pkt., 20 cts. 



Oobbic's Champion fecel<. 



This is a famous Scotch Leek, which has taken al) the First 

 Prizes wherever exhibited in recent years. Unlike most other 

 Leeks it can be grown to a large size without losing any of its 

 good qualities; the blanched part is always of the purest white, 

 very solid and never ribbed ; the form of the Leek is perfect. 

 Seed selected from picked plants. Per pkt., 20 cts. 



JAPANESE CLIMBING CUCUMBER. 



Owing to the very dry weather last summer the trials of this 

 novelty were not altogether satisfactory, but the results were 

 sufficient to show that it is a decided acquisition. Where the 

 plants had been well watered and liberally manured the 

 splendid bearing quality and fine flavor of the fruit, and the 

 climbing propensity of the plant, was fully developed. The 

 fruits are of medium size, well formed, and of a dark green 

 color ; flesh very thick, and of exquisite flavor. It can be 

 grown as an ordinary ridge Cucumber or as a climber. Per 

 pkt.. 10 cts. ; 3 pkts..'25 cts
