NEW TRIUMPH MUSK MELON. 



This superb new melon, which we offer for the first time, is the latest production of the raiser of the Columbus Musk Melon,, 

 which was first introduced two years ago, and has given such universal satisfaction to all who have grown it. The new variety 

 is a cross between Columbus and Osage, combining all the good qualities of these two most excellent varieties, and is far 

 superior to any melon now in existence. The flesh is red, thick and luscious, and ripens clear to the rind. The melons are 

 of medium size and are beautifully netted, l'er pkt., 15 cts. ; 2 pkts., 25 cts. ; oz., 75 cts. 



CARTER S EXCELSIOR BEET. 



A new variety from England, seed of which was sent us 

 for trial last year, and proved to be the best early blood beet 

 in our trial grounds. The seed is now offered for the first 

 time. The color and substance of its flesh is perfect, being 

 fine-grained, with smooth skin and small tops, and matures 

 more rapidly than other sorts. Per pkt., 10 cts. ; oz., '5 cts. ; 

 J , lb., 40 cts. 



Crosby's Egyptian Beet. 



An improved strain of the Egyptian Beet in great repute in 

 the Boston market. It is much thicker than the original 

 strain, quite as early, of better color and quality, besides 

 being smoother. Per pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 10 cts. ; J lb., 30 cts. ; 

 lb.. $1.00. 



EVANS' NEW TRIUMPH CELERY. 



This new variety comes to us from Canada, and the origina- 

 tor claims it to be the Celery of the future and the finest variety 

 ever grown. For solidity, crispiness and fine nulty flavor it is 

 unequalled. It is very brittle, of good size, and creamy white 

 in color. Its most valuable recommendation, however, is its 

 remarkable long keeping qualities. It can be kepi in good 

 condition as late in the spring as April and May, and should 

 prove a profitable variety for late use for the market gar- 

 dener. Per pkt., 15 cts.; 2 pkts.. 25 cts.; per oz , 75 cts.
