PEAS, Ferry's First and Best.— In this variety 

 we think we have what zvill suit the most critical 

 market gardener. We have been experimenting for 

 years, with a view of obtaining the earliest variety and 

 0.12 that would ripen all its pods -within a very Je-oj 

 days, so that the gardener could clear off the ground 

 and plant another crop after having had the full advant- 

 age of the high price for the first peas coming into mar- 

 ket. This is the selection of the earliest ripening; for 

 a series of years and is recommended with the great- 

 est confidence as being unsurpassed for earliness and 

 evenness of ripening, desirable qualities for a market 

 variety. About forty-fire days from planting is the 

 average time for ripenmg the whole crop.

PEAS, Premium Gem.— A new and valuable va- 

 rie:y, growing about fiftean iaches high and as it is 

 ready for use in forty-five days from sowing is prob- 

 ably the earliest of the dwarf, green, wrinkled varieties. 

 The pods are ver>- long, of a da^k, ^lo-^y green color ; 



vines more robust than Little Gem ■ peas of very fine 

 quality. The most remarkable characten.t!c is its 

 wonderful prolificness ; as many as twelve pods often 

 appearing on a siugie stem

RADISH, Early Round Deep Scarlet —A valu- 

 able improvement on the ordinary Scarlet Turnip Rad- 

 ish, and will be found to be very useful for market 

 garden purposes. The color of the skin is very dark 

 red. so much deeper than the common scarlet as to 

 attract attention. The flesh is white, cns^ y, and it 

 has a very small top. Last season, in New York mar- 

 ket, it brought a third mo.c th..n the Scarlet Turnip. 

 It is equally well adapted for growing in frames, green- 

 house or open ground.

RADISH, Early Scarlet Turnip, White Tipped. 

 — A beautiful variety of the sanie size and shape as the 

 Scarlet Turnip, but of a deeper scarlet color with white 

 tip. It IS early, of excellent flavor, and as it is so de- 

 sirable for table use from its ornamental appearance it 

 has already become very popular as a market variety.

SQUASH, Essex Hybrid.— A new and excellent 

 variety, a cross between the Hubbard and American 

 Turban, having the color and shape of the Turbaa 

 with the dr>-nes3 and hard shell of the Hubbard. It 

 is one of the richest flavored, finest grained and sweet- 

 est of the squash family, as well as one of the best keep- 

 ers. The flesh is very thick, rich colored and solid with 

 only a small cavity for seeds. It is verj- productive and 

 as it is the earliest of the winter varieties can be planted 

 later in the season than other winter sorts.

TOMATO, Essex Early Hybrid.— This new To- 

 mato is early, solid, large, rich flavored and grows per- 

 fectly S7nooth. It is (.f a bright pink color and the 

 most desirable shape. It ripens very 

 evenly ind as the flesh is very hard 

 and solid it makes one of the very best 

 kinds for marketing and shipping. It 

 is wonderfully productive and a vigor- 

 ous grower, producing more fruit fit for 

 market tlan almost any other sort.

TOMATO, Hundred Day. — As 

 an early market variety this certainly 

 excels. It is of medium size, rather 

 flat, and of a distinct bright scarlet 

 color. From its size, shape and color, 

 've think it would be selected on the 



arkct in preference to larger and 

 - ■!'^ other sorts. We were particularly 

 pleased with it last season on our own 

 grounds.

TOMATO, Early Trophy.— Iden- 

 tical in form and size with the •well- 

 known Trophy. A selection of the 

 earliest fruits for several seas' ns has 

 given us a strain of this vry desirable 

 tomTto that has the added quality of 

 earliness.
