New Swiss Chard, or Spinach Beet 

 "Giant LucuUus" 



The Swiss Chard is growing more popular as a vegetable each season. This 

 new variety is a great acquisition. The stalks are as thick and broad as rhubarb. 

 The plants grow to a height of from 2 to 2,'4 feet, and the stalks are from 10 to 

 12 inches long below the leaf. These stalks are delicious when cooked and 

 should be served in the same manner as stewed celery and asparagus. The 

 leaf portion of the "Giant LucuUus " is heavily crumpled or savoyed and is 

 very crisp and tender. The leafy portion of the foliage is cooked and served in 

 the same manner as spinach. The leaves and stalks, being served as separate 

 vegetables, afford two distinct dishes from the same plant at one time. Price, 

 pkt. 10 cts-, oz. 15 cts., X'b. 40 cts., lb. I1.25, by mail postpaid. 



Extra Dark Red Wethersfield Onion

 size. In this new type we have a much higher and richer color than the old 

 sort, and it is strongly recommended. Price, pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., X'b.

Hurst's Superior Dwarf Garnishing Parsley 



This is the acme of Parsley perfection. It is entirely free from single leaves, 

 very dwarf and a strong vigorous grower, and a row of it in the garden is 

 worth going a distance to see. For garnishing it is unequaled, the leaves 

 being beautifully curled and of a very dark green color. The flavor of the 

 leaves is rich and aromatic, making them delicious for flavoring. Price, pkt.

 seeing it, either green or ripe, would at first glance say was a tomato. It is of upright growth, very prolific, staying 



in bearing right through the season, from early July until frost. If 

 you are raising Peppers for profit, you should certainly include the 

 new "Tomato Pepper" in your order, as it will be found very 

 profitable. It is particularly relished by our friends from Italy, and 

 can be eaten out of the hand like an apple, being of a mild and deli-
