Kolb's Gem, or American Cliampioii. 



This melon comes from one of the most successful growers in the South ; he sought to 

 unite good quality and large size in a melon that would bear shipping great distances, and has 

 most successfully combined these three desirable qualities. 



It resembles the Cuban Queen in general appearance, but the colors are brighter, and it is 

 more distinctly ovoid in shape. The flesh is bright red, firm, coarse grained, but exceedingly sweet 

 and juicy. The rind is thin, but very hard and firm, forming a distinct shell which protects 

 the melon during shipment, and also gives it remarkable keeping qualities. 



Per packet, 5 cents; oz., 20 cents; 2oz.,35 cents; % lb., 60 cents; lb., $2.CK).

Round White Silverskin Onic 



Round ^WTliite Silverskin 

 for Pickling^. 



This Onion differs materially from the New Queen. It 

 is a trifle later, the bulbs are more globular, and slight- 

 ly larger. The principal point of difference between 

 the two is the character of the outside sections. In the 

 Round White Silverskin they are of an opaque white 

 color, and do not turn green upon exposure to the light, 

 as do the thin, tender, semi-transparent outer sections of 

 the New Queen. They are also thick, compact, hard 

 and firm, making it the very best of keepers, and at 

 the same time they are veiy crisp and brittle. We con- 

 sider this variety by far the best ever introduced for 

 pickling. A number of large dealers, to whom we sent 

 samples last season, have spoken of it in the highest 

 terms of praise. 



Per packet, 5 cents; oz., 30 cents; 2 oz., 55 cents; %.

^liss^ Amei4can ^Wonder. 



Although but a few years old, this variety has already established itself second to none as 

 a general favorite. It is the earliest of all the dwarf peas, and is, indeed, but little later than our 

 First and Best. Habit, very dwarf and vigorous; pods long and well filled ; peas exceedingly 

 sweet, tender and well flavored. 



Per packet, 10 cents ; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents; 4 quarts, $1.50; bushel, $8.00. 



If by mail or express^ prepaid^ /j" cents per pi7it^ 30 cents per quarts must be added/or charges.

The accompanying illustration was taken from a photograph of an ordinary plant on our 

 fields, and shows the distinctive character of the variety very clearly. In order to develop the 

 everbearing quality to the best advantage, the seed should be sown singly, or very sparsely in the 

 drill, and in very rich soil; it will then throw up several stalks, each bearing from six to ten pods; 

 remove these as they mature, keeping the ground well cultivated, and the plant will throw out 

 short, pod-bearing branches from the axils of the leaves, and will continue to develop these 

 hranches until it has produced an incredible number of pods. The peas are wrinkled, large, 

 and of delicious flavor. 



Per packet, 20 cents ; pint, 40 cents; quart, 65 cents ; 4 quarts, $2.25 ; % bushel, $4.00.
