VEGETABLE MARROWS. 



The Marrow Squashes are largely grown in 

 England, and should be more generally used in 

 this country, as the quality is exceedingly delicious, 

 far superior to the ordinary summer squash. They 

 grow well anywhere if a liberal supply of manure 

 is dug into the hills and plenty of moisture sup- 

 plied. When the fruits are nearly half-grown *the 

 flesh is very tender and marrowy, and may be pre- 

 pared for the table either cooked in same manner 

 as ordinary squash, or fried, in which manner it is 

 far superior to the Egg Plant. We offer the fol- 

 lowing varieties of Vegetable Marrows, all of 

 which are suited to our climate and conditions. 

 Long Cream. (See cut.) One of the most 

 prolific vine sorts. Fruits long, pale cream 

 color and rich flavor. Pkt., 15 cts.; oz., 35 cts. 

 English Marrow. A bush variety; fruits shorter 

 than Long Cream, but quality very good. Pkt. , 

 10 ctv ; oz., 25 cts. 

 Long Green. Long and rather slim, with dark 

 green skin; a vine variety; very productive and 

 deliciously flavored. Pkt., 15 cts.; oz., 35 cts. 



LONG SEASON SPINACH. 



This variety of Spinach is especially adapted for 

 the summer season, when other sorts quickly run 

 to seed. Sowings can be made in early spring and 

 followed monthly with further sowings, and the 

 crop will be continuous throughout the entire 

 summer. The leaves are a rich dark green color, 

 vei \ thick, crumpled and of splendid quality. The 

 name "Long Season" is well chosen, as this Spin- 

 ach will continue growing through spring, summer 

 and winter. Pkt., •"> cts.; oz., 15 cts.; \ lb., 25 

 cts.; lb., (50 Cts. 



CRIMSON GIANT 

 RADISH. 



This variety is suitable both for forcing or 

 early planting out of doors. A remarkable 

 feature of this Radish is that it will grow 

 double the size of other round red forcing 

 Radishes and still remain solid. The ordin- 

 ary forcing Radish, after growing to the size 

 of 2 or 3 inches in circumference, becomes 

 pitby, while the Crimson Giant will grow to 

 ti and 7 inches in circumference, and still re- 

 main solid and juicy, free from all signs of 

 becoming soft. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 

 \ 11.., 40 cts.; lb., $1.'.'.'). 



^ARLY DETROIT 

 TOMATO. 



This is the most desirable variety of early 

 Tomato introduced in recent years and the 

 best of the early purplish-pink sorts. The 

 vines are exceedingly productive, healthy in 

 growth, so that they withstand blight and 

 oilier disease. The Tomatoes are nearly 

 globe-shape, and are uniform both as to size 

 and shape, very firm and solid, rarely ever 

 cracking. The quality and flavor are excel- 

 lent, and will meet the most exacting require- 

 ments. It is the largest and best of the early 

 purplish-pink Tomatoes yet introduced. 

 Pkt., 10cts.;oz., 35 cts.; i lb., $1.00.
