This is one of the best All-Head Lettuce. It forms' 

 a very large, solid head, almost as large as an early 

 cabbage, of good flavor, sweet and crisp, the inner

 are of enormous size, very handsome, the leaves a 

 beautiful light green color. A very profitable sort 

 for the market gardener, and excellent for the home 

 garden. Good for early or late sowing. Price per

THE STRAWBERRY MUSK MELON 



This promising new melon was originated by Mr. A. Beck, a large market grower of Illinois, who des- 

 cribes it as follows: Its first appearance caused a great furore in our markets. People were loud in its 

 praises, claiming it surpassed all others in excellence, with a flavor like that of a strawberry, hence its 

 name. A desirable market size, 6 to 8 lbs. Its outside appearance compares favorably with the green nut- 

 meg of old, turning to a yellowish hue when ripe. Its smooth deep flesh is of an attractive red color. 

 Price per pkt. 5 cts., oz, 15 cts., % lb. 50 cts. 



AUSTRALIAN BROWN ONION 



This new variety is of medium size, wonderfully 

 hard and solid, and most attractive for market, both 

 as to form and appearance. The illustration was en- 

 graved from a photograph. They are extremely early 

 in ripening, and never make any stiff-necks or scal- 

 lions. Every seed seems to produce a good-sized 

 onion, and the bulb begins to form very quickly— 

 when the plant is not over three inches high. Plant- 

 ed with the Red Wethersfield, it proved to be nearly 

 four weeks earlier and ripened off more uniformly. 

 It has the reputation of keeping indefinitely, and we 

 think from its firmness and hardness that it will keep 

 in good condition longer than any other Onion known. 

 The color of the skin is a clear amber-brown. So 

 widely contrasted from any other Onion is this color 

 that it will be noticed on the market, and when 

 once bought, pm-chasers will be likely to return and 

 call again for "those beautiful brown onions." Price 

 per pkt. 5 cts., oz, 15 cts,, % lb. 35 cts., lb. $1.25.
