BALTIMORE CABBAGE LETTUCE 



LEADS THEM [ALL. 



Large heads, beautiful heads. 



Solia head, stands heat well. 



Best of all for Fall Planting. 



This new Lettuce, which we introduced 

 a few years ago, and claimed to be one 

 of the best ever put on the market, and 

 which produced such a sensation among 



the large growers who tried it, still 

 holds a high place among Lettuce. As 

 soon as the growers discovered its merits 

 they came for more seed, and recom- 

 mended it to all their friends; these, in 

 turn, were delighted with their crops, as 

 the result more than justified all we 

 claimed for it. A grower at Gardenville, 

 Maryland, says: " I had three thousand 

 heads of your Baltimore Cabbage Let- 

 tuce, and they all headed but one; they 

 are slow to run to seed." The heads are 

 large and solid, color pretty light green, 

 and very slow to seed. In fact, it is just 

 what the truckers and gardeners want. 

 A large trucker in New Jersey writes: 

 " The Baltimore Cabbage Lettuce I had 

 of you was certainly very fine."

NEW YORK LETTUCE. -Very large, solid, Cab- 

 bage heads; slow to run to seed; crisp, tender and 

 of nice flavor. 



Pkt. 5c. Oz. 15c. 1-4 lb. 40c. Lb. $1.25. 



DEFIANCE.- Stands summer heat better than 

 any other variety; one of the finest large growing 

 varieties. It forms very large, solid heads, so firm 

 they have to be cut open to allow the flower heads 

 to come through.

MELONCANTELOUPE. 



German, Melone. 



(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, pinch off 



the points of shoots, which causes the vines not 

 only to become stronger, but makes them produce 

 lateral branches and prove mort productive and 

 mature earlier. It should not be grown near 

 squashes, cucumbers or pumpkins, as the flavor 

 will be affected in consequence. 



SOUTHERN 

 BEAUTY CANTELOUPE. 



The Musk Melon For The South. 



This is a new introduction of great merit and 

 value. It is of medium size, extraordinarily prolific, 

 very heavily netted, green fleshed and of delicious 

 flavor. 



The Grower says : " It is the finest Cauteloupe I 

 have ever planted, particularly suited to the South- 

 ern climate. It is remarkably free from rot of all 

 sorts, caused by damp or rainy weather, and will 

 hold up a long time after they have ripened, the 

 outer rind remaining firm and sound for at least 

 ten days after the melon first ripens." Again he 

 says : " I shipped these Cauteloupes last season 

 from this point to Chicago, Illinois, Cleveland and 

 Cincinnati, Ohio, by freight, where they arrived in 

 perfect condition, and brought fancy prices." This 

 was proof positive of its fine keeping and shipping 

 qualities.
