5 SINGLE 



New Garden Lemon. 



CERTAINLY one of the greatest novelties of recent introduc- 

 tion. Resembles the vine peach in manner of g' owth, but is 

 distinct in that the unripe fruit is striped with very dark 

 preen spots, nearly black, and when ripe is not russeted liKe the 

 vine peach. Fruit of shape shown in illustration, a trifli- smaller 

 than vine peach. Has a finer flesh and most desirable a' id flavor, 

 thus dispensing with sliced lemon, which is so important in put- 

 ting up the vine peach. Unexcelled for ereneral canningpurposes. 

 Cultivate similar to rnusk melons, in hills 3 feet apart each way. 

 It is such an enormous yielder that it will prove a very profitable 

 crop to grow for market purposes, and will give unbounded satis- 

 faction for all family uses. True stock seed, Pkt. 10c ; oz 25c. 



PLANT 



The Man^o Melon, or Vegetable Peach. 



ANOTHER splendid novelty of late introduction, very striking 

 in color, most wonderful yielder. (See engraving from nat 

 ure of a single pUnt in above illustration ) Vines of each 

 of the above are somewhat smaller than the musk melon vine 

 ih' ugh requiring same cultivation. Fi uit is about the size of an 

 orange, orange shaped, and a bright orange-yel ow color, some 

 what russeted. For sweet pickles, pies or preserving they are 

 splendid. In the west and north west, where lruit is sc >rce, they 

 are rapidly becoming popular, as they are easily cultivated, 

 enormously productive and can be used in every way as the 

 peach, except that they are rot quite as sweet You will cer- 

 tainly be pleased with it. Pkt. 10c : oz- 25c
