Golden Yellow Self Blacnching Celery 



We call special attention to this sort, not only because it is one of the very best varieties for 

 either home or market garden but because we believe the stock we offer to be the very best in exis- 

 tence. It has been very carefully grown by experienced cultivators and the greatest possible pains 

 have been taken to secure the best seed which skill and care can produce. We recommend this variety 

 and particularly our stock of it as certain to give the best results which climate, soil and cultivation 

 are capable of producing. See pages 46, 47. Pkt. 5c ; Oz. 50c ; 2 O2. 85c ; % Lb. $1.50 ; Lb. $5.00 



Defender M\jsk Melon 



This melon of our own development is in some respects the best sort yet produced. There is no- 

 variety in which the flesh is of fine quality and flavor so near to the rind as in this and none in which 

 the rind is so thin, hard and firm. We believe that in sweetness it is fully equal to the Rocky Ford or 

 Netted Gem, and it has in addition the high flavor peculiar to such orange colored sorts as Osage, 

 Surprise and Emerald Gem. See pages 40, 41. Pkt. Sc; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; % Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50 



Sweet HeaLrt Wetter Melon 



This melon was introduced by us in 1894, and it has become very popular as a shipping melon, 

 particularly in the south. Vine vigorous and productive, ripening its fruit early. Fruit large, oval., 

 very heavy, uniformly mottled light and very light green. Rind thin but firm. Flesh bright red, 

 firm, solid but very tender, melting and sweet. Fruit retains its good quality for a long time after 

 ripening. Our stock is the very best. See pages 40, 41. Pkt, 5c ; Oz. 10c ; 2 Oz. 15c ; % Lb. 20c ; Lb. 60c, 



Ferry's Iceberg Walter Melon 



Kolb's Gem won by its intrinsic merit a place as one of the most popular shipping sorts. In 

 Ferry's Iceberg we have a strain developed from that variety but which is a decided improvement 

 in many qualities. The rind is darker colored and stands shipment better. The flesh is richer in 

 color, extends nearer to the rind and is more solid. It is the king of shipping melons. See Pages 

 40, 41. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 20c; ^ Lb. 30c; Lb. $1.00 



Monte Cristo or Kleckley's Sw^eets Wetter Melon 



We especially recommend this sort for the home garden and near markets. Of the hundreds of 

 varieties we have tested none has been found superior to this sort in the crisp tenderness, juicy sweet- 

 ness and beautiful color of the flesh. We feel assured that any one who wishes a delicious melon for 

 home use will be well satisfied with this sort. See page 42. Pkt. Sc; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c; % Lb. 25c; Lb. 90c. 



Thomats La^xton Peats 



A new early, wrinkled variety of great merit. Vine about three feet high, much like that of 

 the Gradus but more hardy and much more productive. Pods large, long, with square ends, similar 

 to but larger, longer and handsomer than those of the Champion of England and as uniformly well 

 fiUed. The green peas are very large, fine colored and unsurpassed in quality. See page 47. Pkt. 15c. 



Nolte's Eatrliest TomaLto 



We confidently recommend this as a most desirable first early sort and one which has in a very 

 slight degree the faults common to first early varieties. While the fruit ripens as early as any sort yet 

 developed, still it is large, smooth and of fine color and quality, continuing so throughout the season. 

 The vine is fairly vigorous and very productive. See page ^6. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 40c; 2 Oz. 75c; % Lb. $1.25; Lb. $4.00 



The Delicious Squash. 



TKe Delicious Squash 



It is claimed by the introducers of this new sort that it is superior in quality to any winter squash 

 in cultivation and that hundreds who have tried it endorse this opinion. We have not yet tested " The 

 Delicious " on our experimental grounds, but the tests we have made of the ripe squashes have not 

 proven them to be uniformly of the high quality claimed. However, a sort so highly recommended 

 by such an authority as Jas. J. H. Gregory, is certainly worthy of a careful and extended trial.
