WATER MELON (GOLDEN SWEET) 



There are repeated calls for a yellow fleshed melon from customers. We offer this year 

 a variety that will -suit all. This is par excellence in quality, the vines are strong growers 

 and whether fully grown or undeveloped, there seems to be no difference in their quality, 

 being exceedingly sweet and crisp. The flesh is bright golden yellow and makes a fine con- 

 trast with the red sorts for table service. They average about 20 lbs. in weight, and are good 

 keepers. 



Seed given free with orders, see 2nd page of cover. 



PEAS (LITTLE MARVEL) 



One of the most satisfactory Peas for the home garden. It is dwarf, about 15 inches 

 high, it is early and is hardy, withstands bad weather better than most varieties. It remains 

 in good condition a week longer than most early sorts. It is very productive, with dark green 

 pods, well filled. Is lucious, sugary and of the finest flavor and quality.

NOTICE. Since going to press we find that our growers can only deliver a small per 

 cent of their contracts on Dwarf Beans. So we have to withdraw our quotations on seed 

 in bulk, by the l / 2 pk., pk., and bushel, as we may not be able to deliver the seed. Write for 

 prices if quantity is wanted and we can obtain stock.
