DENVER MARKET LETTUCE. 



This valuable Lettuce originated with a market gardener near Den- 

 ver, Colorado, and is undoubtedly the best novelty recently intro- 

 duced. It is au early variety cf head Lettuce, either for forcing or 

 growing in the garden ; forms large, solid heads of choice light green 

 color; leaves beautifully marked, very crisp, tender, and of superb 

 flavor; heads more oblong than " Hanson." Per pkt., lo cts.; 02., 

 40 cts.; j^ lb., J1.25 ; lb., S4. 



WHITE PEARL CUCUMBER. 



This is undoubtedly the handsomest variety of Cucumber now 

 known. The habit of growth is entirely distinct, the Cucumbers 

 being produced very close to the hill, maturing there early ; the vines 

 continue to run and bear freely throughout the season ; when ripe, the 

 color is a beautiful pearly white. They are solid, tender and crisp in 

 taste, of splendid quality for slicing; their solid, crisp flesh leaves 

 nothing to be desired. The vines are ivtviensely p-roductive. Our 

 supply of seed is direct from the introducer. Per pkt., 15 cts.; J4 m , 

 30 cts.; oz., 50 cts. 



BLACK NUBIAN PEPPER. 



This striking noveltj- is entirely unlike any other variety; it comes 

 from central Mexico, where it is much prized as a sharp, pungent Pep- 

 per of very attractive appearance ; handsome bushy plants ; the nume- 

 rous peppers are borne upright on stiff stems ; the peppers are never 

 green, but from the first time they are formed until full size are of an 

 intense shining, purphsh black ; when fully ripe, rich maroon. Per 

 pkt., IS cts.; z pkts., 25 cts. 



BANQUET MUSK MELON. 



Our trials of this grand Musk Melon agree perfectly with the 

 description of the introducers, who say it is the result of years of 

 careful selection and improvement at the hands of the most experi- 

 enced grower of Melons in the world, who considers it his greatest 

 production, and likely to supersede all other red-fleshed Melons. The 

 Banquet is a medium-sized Cantaloupe, flat at both ends, and more 

 beautifully netted than any other variety ; the flesh is uniformly deep, 

 of dark rich salmon color, -%^ and in flavor and quality has 



no equal with us. The Ban- m^^ quet is most prolific in fine edi- 



ble Melons. We strongly l^\ recommend it (see cut). Per 



pkt., 15 cts.; 2 pkts. for 25 ^^\ cts.; 5 pkts. for 50 cts.

EARLY CABBAGE. 

 BURPEE'S ALL-HEAD. 



Jointly with the owjiers, ive offer this distinct 72ew Cabbage. 

 Its points of value are show?i in the carefully pi-epared illus- 

 tration and description belou\ 



We recomtnetid it as follows: 



Firsf : EARLINESS.— THE ALL-HEAD EARLY is ihe earliest 

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

 various sixains 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 of 

 the greatest importance. 



Third: UNIFORMITY— The ALL-HEAD EARLY is unques- 

 tionably the nearest approach to a thoroughbred Cabbage of any 

 yet introduced, both as regards size, form and uniformity of^develop- 

 ment. In our trial grounds and in the field, where several acres were 

 being grown for seed, there was not two per cent, of the heads that 

 were not ot the same uniform growth ; large heads, perfect shape and 

 remarkably free from superfluous leaves. 



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



,jiJ!f«"**''|Taan!tv and m this re- 



spect Bur- 

 pee's A 1 1 - 

 Head Early 

 surpasses alf 

 others. Ten- 

 derness is the 

 result of rapid j 

 growth and as 

 the All-Head 

 Early comes in 

 quicker than 

 an^- of the other 

 fiat Cabbages 

 it is conse- 

 quently more 

 tender; veins 

 and midribs of 

 the leaves are 

 finer than any 

 other. 

 Fifth: ADAPTATION.— ^Vhile 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 lo, will make heads sure i 

 10 Winter well. 



The epitome of our claims for the All-Head Early Cabbaoe is 

 E\RLINESS. LARGE SIZE. UNIFORMITY, GREAT PRO- 

 DUCTIVENESS, GOOD QUALITY and its ADAPTATION to 

 the necessity f r an AII-the-Year-Round Cabbage. 



Price, per pkt., 15 cts.; per 02., 50 cts.; 2 ozs. for 85 cts.; per J^ lb., 

 1.50; per lb., ^5.00. 



LONG CARDINAL RADISH. 



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

 years. Its extraordinarj"- earliness is remarkable, the roots being fit 

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

 of firf t quality, and bright, attractive appearance ; shape very regular, 

 smooth and conical; intermediate between the long and 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., lo cts.; cz., 15 cts.; l{ lb., 35 cts.; per 

 lb., #1.25, by mail, postpaid.
