STECKLER'S PUMPKIN MIXTURE, 



One Sovying, Pumpkins for Season. 



We annually grow all the standard varieties of Pumpkins, to 

 test our stocks. But as we plant these pumpkins side by side, in 

 order that we may better compare their various merits, this seed 

 is not free from mixture, and can only be sold as Mixed Pumpkin 

 Seed. Offered especially to those who wish to grow a grand collec- 

 tion of Pumpkins for the Fall Fairs. You can also select the choicest 

 sorts for pies, and feed the rest to your stock. You will be pleased 

 we know with this plan; as in one packet for ten cents you obtain 

 seed of every variety in the list, and many fine sorts. Large pkt, 10c. ; 

 oz., 15c.; 14 lb., 35c.; lb., $1.00. 



LARGE SALAMANDER LETTUCE. 



A desirable variety for Summer or Fall use, forming very large, 

 compact and beautiful heads. Color light green; stands both heat and 

 drought remarkably well, very highly recommended; it is undoubtedly 

 the best Summer variety, the heads will frequently weigh from 2 to 

 3 lbs. each. Per oz., 15c.; y^ lb., 30c.; lb., $1.00. 



Orleans Pride Cabbage. 



Orleans Pride Cabbage, earliest variety 

 head cabbage. It is a selected cross be- 

 tween the Jersey Wakefield and the 

 Early Flat Dutch, afterwards improved 

 by selection of stock until it produces 

 uniformly a fine head. This cabbage is 

 the earliest flat heading cabbage that is 

 now known in any market, maturing at 

 about the same season as the Charleston 

 Wakefield. It should be planted closely 

 in rows, as there is but little outside 

 growth, and, when so planted, will pro- 

 duce fine crops of solid heads of very 

 fine quality. Wherever it has been u'sed, 

 we have had most excellent reports from 

 it. We recommend same highly for 

 market and family use. 



Price, 50 cents an ounce; $1.50 per i^ | 

 pound. 



Faultless Cabbage. 



This strain of cabbage is one which we 

 have been at work on for several years 

 until we have now, in our judgment, one 

 of the best stocks of second early cab- 

 bage, a little earlier than Stein's Early 

 Flat Dutch; remarkably uniform in its 

 h?bit of growth; producing deep flat 

 heads which are very hard. The stock 

 heads up practically all at one time. The 

 leaves are light green in color, broad 

 with medium growth of plant outside of 

 heads. The field from which the seed 

 was taken produced fully 99 per cent of 

 large heads, very uniform in size and 

 very attractive in appearance. 



Price, 50 cents an ounce; $1.50 per Vi 

 pound.
