FAXON SQUASH. 



No longer a novelty, but a standard variety worthy of 

 special notice; fast becoming very popular, both as a summer 

 and winter squash. It is the best squash for all purposes; the 

 best early, the best late, the best keeper 

 and the best in quanty; very produc- 

 tive. The squashes vary somewhat in 

 color, but are uniform in shape (see il- 

 lustration) and cannot be mistaken for 

 any other variety. The flesh is a deep 

 orange yellow, very small seed cavity 

 and few seeds. It is very dry and the 

 best squash ever cooked, the shell or un- 

 edible part being only about as thick as 

 a sheet of writing paper. It will keep 

 in go^d condition the year round, wheth- 

 er gathered ripe or green. A very de- 

 sirable squash for the home garden and 

 the most valable winter variety for 

 market. Our seed was grown from the 

 original stock seed and we offer the same 

 at 3c. per pkt. (50 seeds); % oz. (equal to 

 2 pkts.), 5c; oz., 8c; },

NUT SQUASH. 



Per pkt., 3c. One pkt. each, Sweet Nut and Faxon, 5c. 

 A new, distinct variety; finely flavored and very delicious — cut and fried like egg plant, 

 can scarcely be distinguished from that vegetable; also of great value as a winter squash; 

 will keep sound and sweet until late in the spring — equal to pumpkins for pies and custards 

 and the sweet potato for dryness, richness and flavor; very productive and absolutely bor- 

 er-proof. Price, same as Faxon. fl^p* For other varieties of Squash see page 21.

FLORA FREED TOMATO. 



A most valuable new variety — superior to any other Tomato yet introduced — excells inform, quality, earli- 

 ness and productiveness. The Flora Freed has been produced 

 by most careful selection and culture, always with the object 

 in view of obtaining a tomato that was perfection in itself. 



It is a round, cushion-shaped variety — see illustration (from 

 a photograph) ; large size and very uniform in shape — by far 

 the best in quality of any tomato we have ever seen, being 

 rich, sweet, with small seed cavities and very few seeds — the 

 heaviest of all tomatoes, for its size, in cultivation; color bril- 

 liant crimson; ripens perfectly to the stem and is very hand- 

 some in appearance; it is among the earliest to ripen, very, 

 productive, a good keeper and an excellent shipper. 



Geo. A. Ashmead, Richmond Co., N. Y., writes: "Your 

 new Toynato was not oyily extra large and fine, but was 

 very solid and had no soft pockets filled with seeds." 



Price: Pkt. (800 seeds), 10c; 1-8 oz. (equal to 2 pkts.), 15c; 

 % oz., 25c; % oz., 40c; oz., 75c.

= *7/ by mail add 8c. per pound. 



HONOR BRIGHT TOMATO. 



A distinct bright red variety possessing peculiarities of 

 its own, namely, solidity, long keeping qualities after 

 being picked and the changes of color the fruit undergoes 

 during development. First it is light green, then an attrac- 

 tive waxy white, then lemon changing to red when fully 

 ripe. It can be shipped in barrels like apples and if picked 

 in the earlier stages can be stored in a cool place and kept 

 for several weeks. An excellent table varietv, very pro- 

 ductive; skin smooth (see illustration) and seldom cracks. 

 Pkt. (1000 seeds), 8c; ^ oz., 20c; oz , 50c; £ lb., $1.75.
