FOR 



THEIR 



NAM 



The Four Remarkable New Varieties described below may be had fi-ee by all purchasers from this catalogue who 

 order to the amount of $2.00 and over, with the privilege of competing for ISIOO CASH PRIZES (S'25 for each variety) for 

 the best and most appropriate names given them. 



NEW BEET NO. 25 



Originated by a successful Philadelphia Jlarl^et Gardener, who has kept it entirely in his own hands until the past 

 season, when we secured his entire stocli of seed at a fabulous price. It is the handsomest in form and best In quaUty of any 

 Deep Blood Turnip Beet ever seen in Philadelphia markets. Altliough moderately early, it is not the earliest, but has many 

 important advantages over all known varieties, which will rapidly popularize it as the very best for summer, autumn and 

 winter use for both market and private planters. 



NEW WINTER CABBAGE NO. 31 



Since our introduction a few years since of our famous MATCHLESS T>ATE FLAT DUTCH and the new popular 

 DIAMOND AVINTEKandLOUDEKBACK'S ALL YEAR ROUND cabbages, we have tested many new and highly 

 recommended Main Crop or Winter Cabba'res, and not until' the past year have we found one that would at all compete 

 with these splendid varieties. In the NEW "WINTER CABBAGE ISO. 31, however, we beliive they have a successful 

 rival. This cabbage, the seed of which has never been offered for sale by any seedsman, is being sold now (.lanuary, 1892) in 

 our Philadelphia markets at S6.0n per 100, while ordinary varieties are bringing S2.00 to S3.00 per 100. It is of perfect shape, 

 head very deep, and so hard and solid that there is absolutely no waste at all in preparing it. It is also the surest heading 

 variety we ever saw. 



NEW CELERY NO. 42 



This celery was first sent us by one of our Market Garden customers in England, who claimed it- to be the best white 

 celery grown on the British Isles and the longest keeper of any known there. 



In our tests the past two seasons we found it fully equal, in all respects, to our best American. varieties, which is saying 

 a great deal for it, as the strains now grown and ottered by us on pages 8 and 37 of this catalogue are hard to beat. It" will 

 surely prove a valuable addition to our list of tine celeries when fully introduced in America. 



NEW ONION NO. 56 



Had we the naming of this magnificent new onion we would probably call it the WHITE PRIZE TAKER, but having 

 left the naming of these new sorts entirely with our customers, we believe even a better name than this will be given it. 

 In magnificent shape and enormous size it resi^mbles our celebrated PRIZE TAKER, OR SPANISH KING, the .sc d of 

 which we are now growing here In America, differing only in its pure white skin. Nothing equal to it, in the onion line, 

 has ever been seen in America.
