GRAND RAPIDS.— This variety originated at Grand 

 Rapids, Mich., where it is largely grown for shipment to 

 distant points, and is considered by many the best loose- 

 headed lettuce for forcing under glass. Leaves medium 

 size, of light, yellowish green color, much crimped and 

 frilled, thin, but of very upright grOAvth ; crisp, tender 

 and of good quality. Owing to its upright habit it may 

 be planted very closely. It is of extremely rapid growth ; 

 very little liable to rot; will stand without spoiling a 

 week to ten days after it is fit to cut, and retains its 

 freshness a long time after cutting.

Helon Canteloupe. 



German, Meloae. 



(One ounce of seed to 50 hills.) 

 Sow about the last of spring or first of summer, in hills 

 of light, rich, sandy soil, four feet apart, allowing but 

 three plants to grow in each hill; after they have grown 

 about a foot long, piach off the points of shoots, v/hich 

 causes the vines not only to become stronger, but makes 

 them produce lateral branches, and prove more produc- 

 tive and mature earlier. It should not be grown near 

 Squashes, Cucumbers or Pumpkins, as the flavor will be 

 affected in consequence. 



EARLY NUTMEG.-Is one of the best old varieties, 

 very early, green fleshed, finely netted, flavor rich and 

 sugary. 



Pkt., 5 cts. Oz., 10 cts. X lb., 20 cts. lb., 60 cts. 



BALTIMORE NUTMEG.— Well known and extens- 

 ively used for years by many of the largest growers all 

 over the country. It has attained greater popularity than 

 any Canteloupe ever introduced. Large, thick, green, 

 sweet flesh ; fine flavor and an excellent shipper. 



Pkt., 5 cts. Oz., 10 cts. X lb.. 25 cts. lb., 75 cts.

ANNE ARUNDEL.— This handsome Melon has been 

 grown by a number of leading shippers in Anne Arundel 

 Co., Md.,for several years, and is growing in favor be- 

 cause of its many good qualities. It is very large, nearly 

 round, deeply netted and of good flavor. A wagon load of 

 them at once attracts the buyer's attention, and when 

 piled up on a market stall they are irresistible. No large 

 grower's stock is complete without this superb melon.

 flesh and excellent; very showy market variety; ten 

 days earlier than the Old Hackensack. 



Pkt., 5 cts. Oz., 10 cts. X lb., 20 cts. lb., «0 cts. 



IMPROVED JENNY LIND.-A small early variety of 

 surpassing good quality highly recommended for family 

 garden. We consider this the most delicious Canteloupe 

 we have ever eaten, and while the fruit is small, it is an 

 abundant bearer. A Market Gardener having this sort 

 for sale would in a short time have no difficulty in dis- 

 posing of all he could raise.
