TWO OF THE MOST USEFUL NOVELTIES. 



NEW GARDEN LEMON — Certainly one of the greatest novelties 

 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 

 liner 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. Pkt. 10c, oz. 25c. 



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, enorm- 

 ously productive, and can be used in every way in which you 

 would use a peach, except that tbey are not quite as sweet, al- 

 though some prefer them for the table simply sliced with a little 

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

 ly be pleased with the lesult. Pkt. 10c, oz. 25c.

 elties mentioned above. (Garden Lemon and Mango Melon, or Vegetable Peach, i Don't fail to include them in your order. 



HORSE RADISH. 



HORSE RADISH. 



This valuable vegetable is first grown 

 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 at 15c per doz., SOc per hundred, 

 postpaid, by mail. 



KOHL RABI, 



or Turnip-Rooted Cabbage. 



German, Kohl Rabi. French, Chourabe. 

 Spanish, Calde Nubo. 



The Kohl Rabi is a vegetable inter- 

 mediate between the cabbage and turnip, and combines the flavor 

 of both. The edible part is a turnip shaped bulb formed by the 

 swelling of the stem. When used for the 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 to become 

 tough and stringy. 



CULTURE-Sow in light,_rich soil> very early in driUs 16 



inches'apart, and when well estab- 

 lished, thin to 6 inches apart mthe 

 row. One or two plantings at in- 

 tervals of ten davs will give a suc- 

 cession until hot weather, when 

 thev fail to stow well. But plant- 

 ings mav be~ made the latter part 

 of Julv for fall use.
