SZ NEw GHOICE VEGETABLE SEEDS T/T] 
HONEY DEW MELON 
This new Melon is unlike the ordinary muskmelon 
or cantaloupe both in appearnce 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, 
lucious and juicy, much more so than any variety of 
muskmelon. It is an excellent keeping melon and 
fruits may be laid away for use late in the fall when 
they will be greatly appreciated, not only for their de- 
lightful flavor, but because the other varieties of melons 
are gone, On account of the hard shell it is an excel- 
lent shipper, carrying safely for long distances without 
being bruised or damaged in any manner. It is suit- 
able for growing in all places of equal latitude to Phila- 
delphia 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., 
10 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; 4 1b., $1.00; lb., $3.50. 
YELLOW ICE CREAM 
WATERMELON 
This unique Watermelon is aptly described in a let- 
ter received from Mr. E. Stanley Brown, Horticulturist, 
East Moriches, N. Y., in which he writes: ‘‘After re- 
peated trials I have no hesitancy in stating that Yellow 
Ice Cream is the ‘par excellence’ of Watermelons. 
The vines are strong, inclined to overbear, and whether 
fully grown or undeveloped, there seems to be no dif- 
ference in quality, being sweet and crisp. The flesh is 
bright golden-yellow, skin beautiful green and shape 
elongated. We found that by laying them on the barn 
floor, away from chilly blasts, they kept well into the 
winter, and the Jast one eaten was as good as ever. 
The patch was found by night prowlers and this variety 
was nearly all taken, while others were left, showing 
that even in the dark the best could be selected. If I 
could have only one variety of Watermelon it would 
be Yellow Ice Cream.”’ Pkt., 10 cts,; 0z., 25 cts.; $ 
lb., 70 cts.; lb., $2.25. 
FIVE FINE VEGETABLES 
See colored plate opposite 
EASY-BLANCHING CELERY 
A variety of Celery with remarkable easy-blanching charac- 
teristics, so much so that even those who have never been suc- 
cessful in growing good Celery may plant it with the assurance 
that the crop will equal in quality and appearance any Celery 
grown by the professional growers, and it will be found useful both 
for early use and for keeping during the winter months, character- 
istics which are extremely valuable in a Celery to be grown in 
the home garden. The plants make a quick, healthy growth 
and the stalks are thick, very tender and brittle, with a rich 
flavor which will quickly appeal to all who eat it, and the ease with 
which it may be blanched, together with its long season for use, ~ 
will strongly recommend it both to the amateur gardener as well 
as the commercial Celery grower. Pkt., 20 cts.; 3 0z., $1.25; 
oz., $2.00; 41b., $6.00. For Plants see page 118. 
DREER’S 
ALL-HEART LETTUCE 
Introduced by us several years ago, this variety of head-let- 
tuce -has continually grown in the favor of both private and 
market gardeners and is the most reliable hard-heading lettuce 
ever introduced, far superior to all other varieties of cabbage- 
lettuce. It is adapted to both spring and summer use, as it 
withstands intense heat and forms magnificent heads with leaves 
closely set, extremely solid heart, even before it is half grown, 
thus furnishing the table with Lettuce throughout a long season, 
which is a very valuable feature. The color is a beautiful yel- 
lowish-green and the flavor is excellent, being rich and buttery. 
This is the best Lettuce for the private garden, as it is easily 
grown and makes a nice head. Pkt., 10 cts.; 4 0z., 25 cts.; 
oz., 40 cts.; } Ib., $1.25. For Plants see page 119,

ductive and of excellent quality. The vines grow to a height 
ot about 20 inches, and foliage is a healthy dark green color. 
The pods, which are borne in pairs, are long, dark green, and 
well filled with large Peas. Because of its great productive- 
ness and fine quality, the ‘‘ Potlatch”’ will surely please all who

est 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. The flesh is quite 
thick and the Peppers may be scalded for peeling the skin off.

attractive. Pkt., 10 cts.; 4 oz., 40 cts.; oz., 75 cts.; $ Ib.,

NEW PERFECTION RADISH 
This type of Radish, having red skin with a white tip, has 
long been a great favorite, and with this variety the white por- 
tion extends much farther up than is the case with ordinary 
Scarlet Turnip White Tip Radish. The general contour is tur- 
nip-shape, and size medium, very uniform, with flesh crisp, ten- 
der and sparkling. The rapidity of its growth recommends 
“‘New Perfection’? for growing in the greenhouse, but it is 
equally as valuable for sowing in the vegetable garden. Pkt., 
10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; } Ib., 75 cts.; Ib., $2.50.
