TWO OF THE MOST USEFUL NOVELTIES. 



NEW GARDEN LEMON —Certainly one of the greatest novelties of 

 recent introduction, highly 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 russeted like the vine peach. Fruit is of shape shown in 

 illustration, and is a trifle smaller than the vine peach. It has a 

 finer flesh, most desirable acid flavor, thus dispensing with the 

 sliced lemon, which are so important in putting up the vine 

 peach. It is unexcelled for general canning purposes. Cultivate 

 similar to musk melons, in hills three feet apart each way. The 

 garden lemon is such an enormous yielder that it will prove a 

 very profitable crop for you to grow for market purposes, and 

 above all, will give you unbounded satisfaction for all family 

 uses. True stock seed. Pbt. 10c, oz. 25c. 



HPECIALi OFFER.— The most astonishing Special Offer ever made. 



Novelties mentioned above. (Garden Lemon and Mango Melon, 



THE MANGO MELON, OR VEGETABLE PEACH — Another splendid 

 novelty of late introduction, very striking in color, most won- 

 derful yielder. (See engraving from nature of a single plant in 

 above illustration.) The vines of each of the above are some- 

 what smaller than the musk melon vine, though requiring the 

 same cultivation. The fruit is about the size of an orange, is 

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

 russeted. For sweet pickles, pies, or preserving they are splen- 

 did. In the west and northwest, where fruit is scarce, they are 

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

 mously 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 lit- 

 tle sugar. Be sure to try this splendid novelty and you will cer- 

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

 For only 15c I will send one libera! package each of the Two Wondrous 



or Vegetable Peach.) Don't fail to include them in your order. 



Horse Radish. 



This valuable vegetable is first grown 

 ly planting small lengths of roots called 

 sets. Set out in May, small end down, 

 jh« top one to two inches below the sur- 

 face, in rich, well cultivated soil; will 

 form large sized roots of superior qua 

 '.ty in one season's growth. Before 

 planting the lop 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 

 at 15c per dozen, 80c per hundred, post- 

 ;iaid. by mail. 



KOHiT^ABI, 



Or Turnip-Kootetl Cabbage. 



German, Knhl RcJii. French, Chourabe. 

 Spanish. Calde Nuho. 



The Kohl Rabi is a vegetable interme- 

 liate between the cabbage and turnip, hoese radish. 

 4nd combines the flavor of both. The edible part is a turnip 

 ■ihaped bulb formed by the swelling of the stem. When used for 

 <ihe table this should be cut when quite small, as it is then very 

 tender and -delicate, but if allowed to reach its full size it is apt 

 %o become tough and stringy. 



CULTURE.— Sow in light, rich soil 

 very early, in drills 16 inches apart, 

 and when well established thin to 6 

 inches apart in the row. One or two 

 plantings at intervals of ten days 

 will give a succession until hot 

 weather comes, when they fail to 

 grow well. Plant in July for fall use.
