Admiral Togo Musk Melon 



This type of melon on the Chicago and other large markets commands a price more than double 

 any obtained for the best green fleshed melons. The Admiral Togo possesses the characteristic net- 

 ting, shape, size and shipping quality of the Netted Gem or Rocky Ford with the very thick, orange 

 flesh and slendid quality of the Defender. We believe such a combination of good qualities in the 

 Admiral Togo makes it an ideal crate or basket melon. {See colored plate, page 11 and further des- 

 cription on page 36). Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; >4 Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50 



Alderman Pea 



In many respects the very best early main crop pea of the valuable Telephone type. Pods very large, 

 long, dark green, similiar to Duke of Albany and about the same in season; peas of largest size and un- 

 surpassed in quality. Market gardeners are demanding the large podded, dark colored sorts which 

 retain their fine appearance even after shipping a long distance. The Alderman answers these require- 

 ments and furthermore is the most productive variety of this class, {See colored plate. Page 4j). 

 Pkt 10c; Pt. 30c; Qt. 45c: 4 Qts. $1.50; Bu. $9.00 



Dwarf Champion Pea 



This green wrinkled pea is proving a very popular main crop sort. Pods fully four inches long, 

 broad, handsome and very well filled with large peas which are tender and unsurpassed in quality. 

 {See colored plate, page 47). Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qts. $1.00; Bu. $5.50
