White 
Chartier 
Radish. 
This white form 
of our old favorite 
Chartier is, of course 
a summer Radish, 
succeeding best when 
treated as such. It 
matures in about forty 
days from time of sowing and remains fit for use for about fourteen days after. 
The flesh is crisp, tender, pure white, and the bulb is free from any roughness. 
The flavor is mild and it is invaluable for slicing. The tops are short and it 
matures a little earlier than the old Chartier. A fine sort for market use. 
(See cut.) Price, 5c. pkt.: 15c. oz.; 45ce. Y% lb.; $1.50 1b. 
HMenderson’s Rose Turnip Radish. 
This is one of the best and most beautiful Radishes we have ever seen. It is 
similar to the round early varieties in shape aud size, and has every feature of 
good selection, such as a small, compact top and a miniature root. It is very 
early. requiring only twenty three days to mature it, and remains in good 
condition for ten days, even in a trying season. Its tenderness and delicate 
flavor. added to its charming rosy pink color, render it very attractive when 
) bunched, and incomparable for the table. (See cut) Price, dc. pkt.; 15c. oz.;

Yellow Oval-shaped Radish. 
‘| he introduction of this variety marks an improvement in a type of Radish 
which has been greatly undervalued. every one of the yellow varieties cultivated 
being excellent. This variety has very small leaves and few of them, and these 
taper down gradually to the neck, which is quite small. It matures in thirty 
days from time of sowing, and it preserves its crispness quile late; in fact, it is 
| quite uncommon -to see one that is pithy. The color is bright golden yellow, 
| | and the bulb is free from small roots. The flesh is pure white, solid and mild 
in flavor. 5e. pkt.; 15¢. oz.: 40c. Y% 1b.; $1.00 Ib.

“Cream-colored” 
Crookneck 
SQUASH. 
A new, beautiful and 
distinct varicty of the old 
favorite Summer Crook- 
neck, It has a compact 
busby habit, producing 
Squashes twice the size 
of the common sorts, the 
average length being 
eighteen inches to two 
feet. and they often weigh 
five and six pounds each. 
The cream-colored ex- 
terior is very attractive. 
Although so much larger 
than the old varicty, it is 
equally early and very 
productive; flesh dry and 
of amostagreeable flavor, 
especially so when picked 
at the right time (as all 
Squashes of this class 
should be), before the 
shell has formed or can 
be broken by the thumb & 
nail. Price,1¢c. pkt.;40c. +

A few years ago one of the most prominent Long Island market gardeners 
brought into our store specimens of a squash which he had been growing for 
several years, and which he found would s }l in the New York markets at higher 
prices than any other sort. It was a selection of the old White Bush Scallop, 
| and a vast improvement, having less prominent ridges, and being much deeper, 
so that a single Squash would actually contain nearly twice as much weight as 
the old sort. In addition to this, it is of finer quality and very prolific. We can 
|| strongly recommend this variety both for the market gardener and the amateur.
