Genuine Rocky Ford Muskmelon 



make it a splendid basket melon which will soon become a favo- 

 seed was grown from originator's stock, and is pure. Pkt., 10 cts.; 



Australian 

 Brown Onion. 



This onion is of recent in- 

 troduction, and its extraordi- 

 nary keeping qualities have 

 made it a favorite variety with 

 those who have planted it. The 

 bulbs grow to a good market- 

 able size and are very hard and 

 solid. They ripen earlier than 

 either Yellow Danvers or Red 

 Welhersfield, are beautiful 

 brown color and mild flavor. 

 A good thing in their favor is 

 the fact that the crop runs uni- 

 form in size and shape ; nearly 

 every plant produces a fine 

 onion. When better known, 

 this variety will be used ex- 

 tensively by onion growers, as its good keeping qualities are 

 bound to make a favorable impression. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 

 cts.; I lb., ,50 cts.; lb., $1.75, postpaid. 



DREER'S " EEECTRIC " 



EXTRA EAREY PEA. 



This is a variety of the green-seeded Alaska type, but a 

 great improvement, being much earlier than the Alaska and 

 iiearing larger pods. The vines grow from 2J to 3 feet high, 

 and are literally loaded down with pods, which are crowded 

 with the large peas, closely shouldered in pod. It is very 

 uniform in growth, and usually produces pods containing 

 eight peas. The quality is excellent, remaining tender until 

 fuTly matured. As an " Extra Early" for the market gar- 

 dener we can recommend this variety very highly ; it has all 

 the requisites of a first-class Pea, and the beautiful dark 

 green color of the pods adds greatly to their selling quality. 

 As a variety for the home garden it must also prove very 

 valuable. Being hardy, the seed can be planted as early in 

 spring as the ground can be worked. Pkt., 10 cts., postpaid; 

 ft.. 15 cts; qt.. 30cts,; -J peck, $1.00; peck, $1 50 ; bu., 

 $4 50. If by mail, add 8 ds. per pint, 15 cis. per quart.
