EARLY MODEL BEET. \, 
This is indeed a model vaiiety, and will be highly appreciated 
both for forcing and growing outside. Itis a fine selection of 
blood-red Beet,extremely smooth and of symmetrical growth,fine 
rich color and desirable shape. It makes a rapid growth and 
matures very early. The shape is nearly round and color of 
flesh a rich blood-red. In quality it is.most excellent, being 
sweet, tender and free from coarseness. The tops are quite 
small, making it a fine variety for forcing in hot bed, It retains 
all the good qualities either when grown under glass or outside 
in the open garden. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts. 4 Ib., 40 cts; 
Ib., $1.25. 
The Davis Perfect Cucumber. 
A new variety, which will soon take the place of the best 
strains of White Spine and other desirable Cucumbers. For sev- 
eral years this variety, has been controlled by the originator, who 
is one of the leading market gardeners in the West and after 
whom the variety is named. Mr. Davis states that he experi- 
mented several years in trying to get an improved strain of Cu- 
cumber for forcing under glass and outside culture, and has finally 
fixed a “Perfect” type, combining quality, shape, color and pro- 
ductiveness. The Cucumbers grow long and slim, sometimes 
Measure 12 inches in length; the color is arich, dark, glossy 
green, which they hold until nearly ripe, when they turn white 
without a sign of a yellow streak. It is very tender, brittle and 
of exceptionally fine flavor. The seeds are very soft when the 
Cucumber is ready for table use. This is an important feature, 
It will hold its color and brittleness long after cu ting, and be- 
ing a strong grower is able to resist the Cucumber disease. 
It is as early as the earliest strain of White Spine Cucumber, 
and will outyield any other variety yet introduced. The seed 
we furnish was grown especially for us by the introducer, and 
can be relied upon as being true. Pkt., 10 cts.; 0z., 25 cts;

form, and is enormously productive. The Squashes mature fully 
ten days earlier than the old sort, and are of good, marketable 
size. They show less ridge, or scallop, being better filled out,

and the plants were grown under field culture without any fer- 
tilizer. The shape of this Tomato is perfect, with good skin, 
very solid flesh and of excellent flavor. The plants are very 
stocky and do not spread much,
