COLE'S NOVELTIES.

SOUEET COJ^H. 



MR. KENDEL. the in- 

 troducer, says: 



"This new and distinct 

 variety of Sweet Corn com- 

 bines more merit than any 

 other early variety in culti- 

 vation. The ears grow to a 

 tremendous size, measuring 

 8 to 10 inches long, and hav- 

 ing ten to eighteen rows on 

 each cob, the majority hav- 

 ing twelve rows; kernels 

 pure white, sweet and ten- 

 der." 



Dealers and truckers re- 

 port ready sales and are en- 

 thusiastic over its large size 

 and px-oductiveness, as well 

 as its white cob and good 

 eating qualities. Where it 

 was offered with Minnesota 

 and Cory, none of the latter 

 could be sold until the for- 

 mer was gone. 



We do not place Kendel's Early Giant Sweet Corn on the market as a novelty— it is 

 more than that— it is an article of real merit, and hence it gives us pleasure to be able to 

 attach our name to something we believe will come into general use and will entirely 

 supplant Eariy Minnesota. Price per pkt. 7 cts., 3 pkts. 15 cts., pt. 3U cts., qt. 5U cts,. pk. 

 ¥1,00, bush. $3.50. 



PAUL ROSE MUSK MELON. 



Mr. Vaughan, the introducer of this new variety, says : 

 "In the "Paul Eose" we are offering the best Musk 

 Melon introduced for many years. It is a successful 

 cross of the Osage with the Netted Gem and combines 

 the sweetness of the former with the fine netting of^the 

 Gem. It also has a firmness of rind and "cheesy" 

 structure of flesh peculiarly its own and superior in 

 these respects to any melon in existence. It surpasses 

 all melons as a shipper and long keeper and no melon 

 equals it in smallness of seed cavity, nor approaches it 

 in firmness. 



Mr. Paul Eose, one of the most extensive and suc- 

 cessful growers in the United States, has produced this 

 as a result of six years' critical selection for a basket 

 melon of perfect quality for the shipping trade. They 

 are of uniform shape as shown in cut and average about VA lbs. each in weight, a size most eon- 

 venient to market in baskets. Claimed to be as sweet as the Osage, better shipper than Netted Gem 

 and never to break down in shipping. 



Price per pkt. 7 cts., oz. 20 cts., J4 lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.50. 



Wisconsin Qolden Salsify. 



This new variety of Salsify is entirely distinct from any other variety beyond question. 

 It is of strong, vigorous gi'owth; the leaves are dark green in color, finely crimped aud 

 curled, and the roots have a slightly yellowish tinge, which suggested the name "Gold- 

 en." When prepared for the table, they have an exceedingly delicious flavor, and are ex- 

 remely rich and^tender. Price per pkt. 7 cts., 3 pkts. 15 cts., oz. cts., H lb. 75 cts.
