Novelties and Specialties— Continued. 



Cosmopolitan Musk Melon. 



Cosmopolitan Musk Melon. A new Melon of beau- 

 tiful symmetry of form, combining as it does the firm 

 sweet flesh of the French Cantaloupe and the delicious 

 flavor of the American Musk Melon, it is truly cosmo- 

 politan in character. The flesh is green, thick, firm, very 

 sweet, melting and highly flavored and extends almost 

 to the rind. The fruit is of medium size, spherical, with 

 no ribs and densely covered with gray netting. Oz. 20 cts., 

 |lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.00. 



Tip-Top Musk Melon. Quite distinct in appearance, 

 this new Melon is of the finest quality. Flesh yellow, 

 sweet, juicy and firm, but not hard fleshed. Fruit ribbed 

 and beautifully netted, a very productive and excellent 

 variety. Oz. 10 cts., | lb. 30 cts., lb. 80 cts. 



New Dwarf French Bean, 

 King of the Wax. 



This new French variety well deserves the name 

 under which it is catalogued, for its qualities surpass 

 those of any other Wax Bean we are acquainted with. 

 It forms strong bushes, very compact in growth, and 

 its prolificness is simply marvelous. The pods are pro- 

 duced in enormous quantity ; they are remarkably 

 tender, and so fleshy that the seeds scarcely find suffi- 

 cient room for their development. 



The seed is pure white, rather large, flat, with very 

 thin skin, and is of excellent quality. Pkt. 10 cts., 

 pt. 40 cts. 



Siebert's Early Lima Bean. An improvement 

 on the Large Lima Bean, the pods being peculiarly 

 thin and flexible so that they are more easily opened 

 and shelled than other beans. When in condition for 

 use they are larger than any other variety and very 

 handsome in shape and color. It is the earliest of the 

 large Limas. Vines are hardy and very productive. 

 Pkt. 10 cts., qt. 50 cts., i pk. $1.75, peck $3.00, bu. 

 $10.00. 



Asparagus Lettuce. A new variety of French ori- 

 gin. This Lettuce presents a novel appearance in 

 growth, being of the Cos type and the midrib is pre- 

 pared and served up in the same way as Asparagus. 

 Pkt, 10 cts., 10 pkts. $1.00. 



Sweet Heart Water Melon. An entirely dis- 

 tinct and handsome new Water Melon. Vine vigo- 

 rous and productive, large, oval, very heavy, uni- 

 formly mottled light and dark green. Flesh bright 

 red, solid and very sweet, is sure to become a popular 

 variety. Oz. 20 cts., i lb. 50 cts., lb. $1.00. 



Carter's Cardinal Turnip. 



A new extra early white-fleshed Turnip. This variety 

 is distinct, having a deep cardinal skin, which not only 

 appears on the top, but also covers the whole root. The 

 root is of medium size, flat, with very short top, and of fine 

 table quality ; it is one of the best varieties for growing on 

 hot, dry soil, not running to seed like some early kinds. It 

 has a strong tap-root which doubtless protects it from 

 drought, and, having thick, spreading foliage, the root is 

 shaded. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., J lb 50 cts., lb. $1.75.

 duce a marketable head. Pkt. 20 cts., | oz. 75 cts., oz.

any other, and is the market gardener's favorite. This 

 variety must be kept growing constantly, as it will not

 ter after a failure of our crops through drought. The heads 

 are of medium size, averaging a weight of 8 pounds, are 

 very solid and deep and of a fine white color, very superior 

 in quality and a good keeper, being as solid and perfect 

 when taken up in spring as when put away in fall. We 

 import this seed from headquarters. Oz. 30 cts., \ lb. $1.00, 

 lb. $3.50.
