THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



THE GREATEST INNOVATION OF THE AGE IN THE VEGETABLE KINGDOM. 



New Giant Tomato, Ponderosa. 



THIS mammoth and prolific variety of the Tomato has eclipsed everything of the sort yet introduced, both as to size and 

 quality ; it is really a wonder in its way and is equally desirable for the kitchen or market garden. It has been thor- 

 oughly tested in different localities and its claims to a high degree of merit fully established. The fruit is of a deep, 

 rich crimson, very meaty, firm and juicy, and of a delicious flavor, making it highly desirable for all culinary purposes ; sliced 

 and placed upon a dish, their appearance will arouse the appetite of an epicure. The variety is equally valuable for growing 

 for profit; it ripens early, and the immense yield and the quality of the fruit commend it both to the grower and buyer, and 

 insures for it a ready market. In this respect it promises to displace the hitherto leading varieties. The skin being firm and 

 elastic, it is recommended as being a good keeper and shipper. In fine, we know of no vegetable novelty of recent introduc- 

 tion that compares with it. We have a particularly fine stock of fresh seed of the variety put up in liberal packets, which we 

 offer at prices as follows : 15 cts. per pkt. ; 2 pkts. for 25 cts. ; 5 pkts. for 50 cts. 



EARLY CABBAGE. 

 BURPEE'S ALL-HEAD. 



"We recommend it as follows : 



First: EARLINESS.— THE ALL-HEAD EARLY is the earliest 

 of all large Cabbages — being at least a week earlier than any of the 

 various strains of Early Summer Cabbage. 



Second : SIZE. — It is fully one-third larger than the Early Sum- 

 mer, and therefore much more profitable to the market gardener, who 

 has in this variety a Cabbage larger and earlier — considerations ot 

 the greatest importance. 



Third: UNIFORMITY.— The ALL-HEAD EARLY is unquestion- 

 ably the nearest approach to a thoroughbred Cabbage of any yet in- 

 troduced, both as regards size, form and uniformity of development. 



Fourth: QUALITY. — The main feature of a good Cabbage is 



•sM^iMSPaa*^™^ tenderness, 



SSUk^ and in this re- 



spec t Bur- 

 pee's All- 

 Head Early 

 surpasses all 

 others. Ten- 

 derness is the 

 result of rapid 

 growth, and as 

 the All-Head 

 Early comes in 

 quicker than 

 anyoftheother 

 flat Cabbages, 

 it is conse- 

 quently more 

 tender ; veins 

 and midribs of 

 the leaves are 

 finer than any 



AIL-HEAD EARLY CABBAGE. Other. 



Fifth: ADAPTATION.— While Burpee's All-Head Early is all 

 that can be desired for earliness, it is equally valuable for a late or 

 Winter Cabbage. To Winter well the heads must be deep or thick 

 through, a prominent feature of this variety. Seed of the All-Head 

 sown in July, plants set out about August 10, will make heads sure 

 to Winter well. 



Price per pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts.: per oz., 40 cts.; per % lb., 

 $1.25 ; per lb., $4. 



NEW GIANT PASCAL CELERY. 



NEW GIANT PASCAL CELERY. 



The Best "Winter Celery. 



Every one that grows Celery should plant at least some of this 

 valuable new variety. It shows remarkable improvement and is un- 

 doubtedly the best Celery yet sent out for Winter use. It is the largest 

 of all, and of superb quality ; the immense stalks are beautiful waxy 

 golden in color, and are thick, solid, entirely stringless, of rich nutty 

 flavor and entirely free from any bitter taste. It can be used when 

 quite small, and does not become watery ; it requires but a few days 

 of slight earthing up for blanching beautifully. It is the best keeper 

 of all Celeries, and we think without question it will supersede ail 

 other late varieties. Pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts.; \'< oz., 20 cts.; oz., 

 35 cts.; # lb., $1 ; lb., $3.50. 



LONG CARDINAL RADISH. 



This we regard as the best novelty in Radishes introduced for many 

 years. Its extraordinary earliness is remarkable, the roots being fit 

 for use in twenty-five days after sowing the seed. Crisp, tender flesh 

 of first quality, and bright, attractive appearance ; shape very regular, 

 smooth and conical ; intermediate between the long aud half-long 

 sorts; will certainly become very popular in private gardens, and 

 valuable to the market gardener whose success depends on having the 

 earliest vegetables. Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; ^ lb., 35 cts.; per 

 lb., £1.25, by mail, postpaid.
