BUCKBEE'S SUNSET— This grand novelty awarded Prize Medal. 

 The Director of the Maine Experimental College at Orno, writes : 

 •' I consider BUCKBEE' S SUNSET themost promising new variety." 

 Extended experience has shown this variety of our own intro- 

 auction to be one of the very best sorts, not only for market gar- 

 deners but for the home garden. This variety was introduced 

 as an improvement in turnip-shaped beets for table use, and we 

 have by careful selection improved each succeeding crop, until 

 we feel certain that it is by far the best red turnip beet in culti- 

 vation. Tops small, upright-growing, so that the rows may be 

 close together; leaf-stems and veins dark red; blade green; 

 roots globular or ovoid, peculiarly smooth ; color of skin dark, 

 blood red; flesh bright red, zoned with a lighter shade, very 

 crisp, tender and sweet, and remaining so for a long time. The 

 stock which we offer will produce a crop more uniform in shape, 

 color and quality than any other. I control the entire stock of 

 this varietv. Pkt. 5c, oz. 8c, }4 lb. ?5c, X 40c, lb. 75c. 



THE BISMARCK— An excellent novelty from Germany. Combines 

 more good qualities than any other variety (Buckbee's Sunset 

 excepted.) Rich, red flesh, exceedingly tender, remaikably 

 early. In shape it is almost round. The leaves are small and 

 compact, and set very close to the center of the bulb. The tap 

 root also is small, starting clear from the bulb without taper; 

 indeed, it combines to a greater degree than any variety we 

 know the maximum of edible bulb with the minimum of root and 

 foliage. The color is crimson, the prevailing shade being very 

 dark. The constancy of color in every bulb largely enhances its 

 value. It is extremely early. But it is when prepared for the 

 table that its fine qualities become most apparent, the fine, rich 

 color making it conspicious. The flesh of delicate texture, is 

 rich, sugary and entirely free from fibre. We are confident that 

 it will secure a permanent place in every garden where tried. 

 J control the entire supply of seed of this variety. Pkt. 4c, oz. 

 7c, 14 lb. 20c, K lb. 35c, lb. 60c. 



GREATEST LATE CABBAGE OF THE CENTURY. 



For years large quantities of Dan- 

 ish Cabbage have been imported to 

 our leading American markets, the 

 heads being of such solidity that the 

 demand has been far in excess of the 

 supply, always at a price far above 

 the ruling market rate. To get at 

 the source of this supply I dispatched 

 my European traveler direct to Den- 

 mark, and after careful inspection of 

 the cabbage growing localities came 

 to Amack, the home of the Great 

 Dane. I will use Mr. Torgeson's 

 (originator) description, which, to 

 say the least, is too modest to ex- 

 press the sterling qualities of this 

 great winter cabbage: "For more 

 than twenty years I have worked in 

 perfecting this variety. Heads are 

 almost round as a ball, of good size, 

 perfectly solid, very fine grained, of 

 the best quality. It is ahead of any 

 variety grown on this side for ship- 

 ping and all general uses, and I can- 

 not too highly recommend it to gar- 

 deners in your land (America.)" I 

 control the entire stock of this var- 

 iety, and offer it at the following very 

 low prices: Pkt. 10c, oz. 30c, 14 Ih. 

 90c, X lb. «1.60. lb. $3.00.
