GIANT PASCAL OFLFRY. 
The latest and best variety of Celery. The stafks are 
very large, thick, solid, crisp, and of a rich nuity flavor 
free from any trace of bitterness; it blanches very easily 
and quickly, and retains its freshness a long time after 
being marketed. 
Pkt., 15 cts.; oz., 60 ets.; 2 Ib., $2.00; Ib., $6.00. 
NE PLUS ULTRA OR LITTLE GEM. 
Sweet Corn, 
An old but excellent variety that is grown around Phil- 
adelphia by those who know a good thing. It is very 
sweet and luscious, and especially adapated to family use. 
Tt bears 3 to 4 ears (averaging 5 inches in length) on a 
stalk, and for drying or canning purposes it is incom- 
parably the best, its small size being in large measure 
atoned for by its productiveness and its exquisite flavor. 
Pkt., 10 ets.; qt., 30 cts., peck, $1.50. 
Barteldes’ Denver Market Lettuce. 
This new Lettuce is highly recommended by the intro- 
ducer, who describes it as follows: It is an early variety 
of Head Lettuce, either for forcing or open ground. It 
forms large solid heads of a good light green color, and is 
very slow to go to seed. The leaves are beautifully curled 
and crimped (like the Sayoy Cabbage), and very crisp and 
tender and of excellent flavor. The crimped leaves distin- 
guish it from any other kind of Lettuce now grown. The 
shape of the head resembles somewhat the “Hanson” but 
is more oblong. 
Per pkt., 15 cts.; 2 pkts., 25 cts. 
LARGE YELLOW MARKET 
LETTUCE. 
This new Lettuce is of a greenish yellow color and makes 
very large flat heads of a solidity equal to that-of a 
Cabbage. They measure 7 inches in diameter by about 24 
inches in circumference and, unlike most other Lettuces, 
are entirely free from unserviceable outside leaves. For 
tenderness it is unsurpassed by any existing variety and 
in durability it is probably superior to all. It hearts more 
rapidly than any of the late Lettuces, and has the advan- 
tage of being unaffected by bad weather, even incessant 
rains exercising no unfayorable influence npon it. 
Per pkt., 20 ets.

CALENDAR. 

This very fine Melon is the result of many 
years’ careful selection by one of the most 
experienced Melon growers in the country, 
who regards it as his finest production, and 
the best of all red-fleshed varieties. The 
fruit is of medium size, very flat at both 
ends, and most beautifully netted, as shown 
in the accompanying cut, which is an 
actual reproduction of a photograph. The 
flesh is thick and solid, of a rich dark sal- 
mon color, and of unsurpassed flayor. Per 
packet, 25 cts; 5 packets, $1.00. 
EXTRA EARLY EXPRESS 
CABBAGE. 
This is the earliest of all Cabbages. 
It is similar in shape to the early Etampes, 
but smaller in size than that variety, 
with solid compact heads of a yellowish 
green color. It can be planted yery 
close in the rows and is yery desirable as 
\a first early variety. 
Per pkt., 10 ets.; 0z., 30 ets.; 3 lb., $1.00 = 
Tb., $3.00. 
GOLD COIN SWEET CORN. 
This has been pronounced the sweetest and best flavored 
corn in existence. It has been compared in all points 
| with Stowell’s Evergreen, but is ten days earlier than that 
old variety. The cob is snowy white, compactly covered 
with large deep grains. It is evergreen to a remarkable 
degree, and if the weather is at all favorable, the bulk of 
the crop can be gathered at any time during a period of 
four weeks, and be found in fit condition for table use. It 
almost always yields two and sometimes three mammoth 
ears to the stalk. 
> Per pkt., 10 ets.; qt., 40 cts.; peck, $2.00. 

SILVER BALL LETTUCE. 
This is one of the best all the year round Leituces we 
know of. It is anexcellent variety, as well for early spring 
and summer use as winter forcing. The heads are silvery 
white, very firm and compact, with beautifully curled 
leaves. It is of fine quality, very tender and crisp, and 
does not soon run to seed. ‘ 
Per pkt., 10 cts. ; oz., 20 ets. ; 2]b., 60 ets.; Ib., $2.00.
