Rochfokd's 



Makket 

 Cucumber. 



Silver Ball Lettuce. This is one of the best 

 all-the-year-round Lettuce we know of. It is an 

 excellent variety, as well for early spring and sum- 

 mer use as for winter forcing. The heads are sil- 

 very white, very firm and compact. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 

 20 cts., \ lb. 50 CIS., lb. II 50. 



Cardinal Globe Radish. This is the best 

 scarlet forcing variety, and is sown largely by mar- 

 ket gardeners. It is of globular shape and brilliant 

 cardinal red color, short top. Our stock of this 

 variety is particularly fine, being of the true globe 

 shape and very uniform in color. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 

 cts., i lb. 30 cts., 11). §1.00. 



Radish " Dreer's Earliest White 

 Globe Forcing." 



The earliest white Radish in existence, making a beautiful 

 oval-shaped Radish, with transparent ivory-white skin, very 

 small root, also small top ; flesh white, tender, and crisp. 

 After two years' thorough trial, we are convinced of the supe- 

 rior quali-ty of this sort, being one of the most attractive varie- 

 ties of an early forcing type. It is particularly adapted to forc- 

 ing in greenhouse or hot-bed, thus giving a supply through the 

 winter and early spring months; is the quickest maturing sort 

 for open ground during the spring, summer, and fall. Pkt. 10 

 cts., oz. 20 cts., \ lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.50. 



Best of All Tomato. 



TRIUnPH RADISH. 



striped, Red and White. 



This is a beautiful and odd radish, which when mixed in the 

 bunch with Scarlet Radishes makes a pleasing contrast. The 

 radishes are globe shape and strikingly handsome, having bright 

 scarlet stripes on a wdiite ground. It is a splendid forcing 

 variety, with short top, small leaves, and matures quickly. The 

 warmth of the hot-bed makes iis peculiar colorings quite prom- 

 inent. It can also be grown in the open ground, and is of 

 mild, pleasing flavor. It is very ornamental for table use. 

 Sold in packets only. Pkt. 15 cts., 2 pkis. 25 cts.
