Radish Crimson Giant. New in 1903. it is a scarlet turnip variety, 

 growing over two inches in diameter, without becoming pithy in the least; 

 crisp, mild and tender, and very early. Packet, 10c. 



New '* Triumph" Jladish. This extra early Radish is a distinct 

 novelty. The small, round, pure white roots are marked with bright scarlet, in 



flakes and in short lines running around the circumference. The bright con- 

 trasting colors are most attractive; skin thin; flesh crisp, tender and mild. Per 

 paclcet, 5c.; oz., 15c.

 but of quicker growth ; very smooth and regular in appearance, with pure 

 white skin, and exceedingly deli- 

 cateand brittle. Pkt.,5c.; oz.,15c. 



Defender Muskmelon 



(PERRY). Thismelon, of ourown 



development, is, in some respects, 



the best sort yet produced. There 



is no variety in which the flesh is 



of fine quality and flavor so near 



to the rind as in this, and none in 



which the r^'nd is so thin, hard and 



firm. We believe that in sweet- 

 |ness it is fully equal to the Rocky 



Ford or Netted Gem, and it has, in 

 addition, the high flavor peculiar 

 to such orange-colored sorts as 

 Osage, Surprise and Emerald Gem. 

 Packet, 5c. ; oz., 15c.; 2 oz., 25c. 

 ••PAUL ROSE" New Musk= 

 melon. In the "Paul Rose" we 

 are offering the best Muskmelon 

 introduced for many years. It is a successful cross of the Osage with the Netted 

 Gem, and combines the sweetness of the former with the fine netting of the 

 Qem. No othei melon equals it in smallness of seed cavity, nor approaches it in 

 firmness. Packet, 5c.; oz., 20c.; lb., $2.00, by mail.
