TWO OF THE MOST USEFUL NOVELTIES. 



New Gardon Ijetnin — (See cut.) — Certainly one of the greatest 

 novelties of recent introduction, hisrhly praised wherever it has 

 been tried. Resembles the vine peach in manner of growth, but 

 is distinct in that the unripe fruit is striped with very dark 

 green spots nearly black, while the vine peach is plain green, 

 and when ripe is not rusieted like the vine peach. Fruit is of 

 shape shown in illustration, and is a trifle smaller than the vine 

 peach. It has a liner flesh, most desirable acid flavor, thus dis- 

 pensing with the sliced lemons, which are so important in put- 

 ting up the vine paach. It is unexcelled for general canning 

 purposes. Cultivate similar to musk melons, in hills 3 feet apart 

 each way. The garden lemou is such an enormous yielder that 

 it will prove a very profitable crop for you to grow f or mai'ket 

 purposes, and above all, will give you unbounded satisfaction 

 for all f.i'nilv uses. True stock seed. Pkt. 10c, oz. 25c. 



The Mango Melon, or Vegetable PcKch— (See cut) — An- 

 other splendid novelty of late introduction, very striking in 

 color, most wonderful yielder. (See engraving from nature of 

 a single plant in above illustration.) The vines of each of the 

 above are somewhat smaller than the musk melon vine, though 

 requiring the same cultivation. The fruit is about the size of 

 an orange, orange shaped, and of a bright orange yellow color, 

 somewhat russeted. For sweet pickles, pies, or preserving they 

 are splendid. In the west and north-west where fruit is scarce, 

 they are rapidly becoming popular, as they are easily cultivated, 

 enormously productive and can be used in every way in which 

 you would use a peach, except that they are not quite as sweet, 

 although some prefer them for the table, simply sliced with a 

 little sugar. Be sure to try this splendid novelty and you will 

 certainly be pleased with the result. Pkt. 10c, oz. 25c. 



-The most astonishing Special Offer ever made For only 15c, I will send one liberal package 



each of the two wondrous novelties mentioned above. (Garden Lemon and Mango Melon, or Vegetable Peach.) 

 Don't fail to include them in your order, for they will give you unbounded satisfaction. 



HORSE RADISH. 



(See Cut.) 



This valuable vegetable is first gi'own 

 by planting small lengths of roots called 

 sets. Set out in May, small end down, 

 the top one to two inches below the sur- 

 face, in rich, well cultivated soil ; will 

 form large sized roots of superior qual- 

 ity in one season's growth. Before 

 planting, the top of the set should be cut 

 off slantingly, so as to prevent decay 

 from water resting on top. My stock is 

 fine, and I can furnish you very nice sets 

 at20c per doz., 90c per hundred, postpaid 

 by mail. 



KOHL RABI, 



or Tiirnip-Rooted Cabbage. 



(See Cut.) 



G erman. Kohl Rahi. French, Chcmrabe 



Spanish, Calde Nubo. 



i n intermediate vegetable between the cabbage and turnip. Is 



grown for its turnip-shaped bulb, 

 which is formed above ground by the 

 expansion of the stem. The bulb 

 should be used while young and ten- 

 der, as age detracts from its good 

 qualities. Set plants eight inches 

 apart in rows. For later use sow 

 seed in drill and thin to the proper 

 distance apart. When w-ell grown 

 and prope rly prepared for the table, 

 it is very desirable. 

 Early AVhite V^ienna — Flesh is 



white. Pkt. 4c, oz. 15c. 

 Early Purple Vienna — Identical 

 with the above except in color, 

 which is of a rich royal purple.

 way. Sow in rich 

 fine garden soil,

 able for soup and

 lent dish when
