" WOI^DERFUI. " 



LETTUCE. 



We are fortunate in being the introducers of 

 this valuable variety, being the first to offer the 

 seed five 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 indi- 

 cation of its pleasing qualities. The large, 

 white heads resemble cabbage in their solidity, 

 and frequently weigh 2 and 3 pounds each. The 

 quality is superb, being crisp, rich and tender. 

 It withstands the heat well, making a fine va- 

 riety for all seasons. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts,; 

 i lb., 75 cts. 



SENSATION EETTUCE. 



This variety is rapidly gaining in favor among 

 the private and market gardeners, who find it a 

 valuable sort for growing either in cold frame 

 or in the open ground. It is remarkable for its 

 character of forming close, hard heads, even in 

 an early stage of growth. Color, yellowi-^h- 

 green, quality very fine, crisp and tender. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 1 lb., 70 Cts. 



KINSMAN QUEEN MUSKMELON. 



Those fond of the orange-fle.shed melons will be delighted 

 with this variety. In addition to its large size, it matures the 

 fruits early, and withstands considerable heat, thus producing 

 an abundant crop. The melons are heavily ribbed, skin pale 

 green, flesh 2 inches thick and flavor delicious. Pkt , ]0 cts.; 

 oz., 15 cts.; J lb., .30 cts.; lb., 80 cts. 



JERSEY BEEI.E MUSKMEEON. 



A green-fleshed melon of the Jenny Lind type, but double the 

 size of the latter. The melons are flat, with heavy ribs and 

 coarse netting, and the flavor very good. Matures a litttle later 

 than Jenny Lind. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; | lb., 30 cts.; 

 lb., 80 cts.

Osage Gem Muskmelon. 



Dreer's "Wonderful" Lettuce. 



OSACJE GEM MUSKMEEON. 



The exterior of this melon somewhat resembles the Netted 

 Gem, but interior is more like the Miller's Cream and Paul 

 Rose, the flesh being a rich salmon color, very thick, solid and 

 of fine flavor. The melons are not large, but grow to that 

 medium size so desirable. They are slightly ribbed and finely 

 netted, thus making a very handsome appearance. The Osage 

 is a good melon for the home garden as well as for marlcet pur- 

 poses. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts,; ^ lb., 60 cts.; lb., $1.50. 



NEWPORT MUSKMEEON. 



A small melon, but of superior quality. In size, shape and 

 appearance it is of the original Jenny Lind type. It matures 

 very early, and produces an abijndant crop. The skin is coarsely 

 netted, and during the early stage of its 

 growth is dark green, but takes on a 

 golden-yellow color as the melons mature. 

 The flesh is light green, very juicy, and 

 of a peculiar spicy flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 oz., 20 cts.; 1 lb., 40 cts.; lb., §1.00. 



COEE'S EAREY 



l^ATERMEEON. 



In our trials of Ws-termelons la■^t year 

 Cole's Early was the earliest to mature 

 among all the leading varieties, and the 

 flavor fully equal to the later varieties. 

 The heart is very large, and flesh of fine 

 texture. The melons do not grow to a 

 large size, and we would not recommend it 

 for shipping, but for home use, particularly 

 in Northern States, we believe it will give 

 satisfaction to all who plant it. Pkt., 10 

 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; I lb., 25 cts.; lb , 70 cts.
