Muskmelon 

 Early Knight 



495 Liberal producer of medium-sized 

 melons of a truly delicious flavor 

 and aroma. It is earlier than 

 Rocky Ford and more oval in 

 shape, with thicker netting. Its 

 attractive appearance makes it 

 distinctly suitable either for home 

 use or for exacting markets. The 

 vines make a healthy growth and 

 produce a number of fruits which 

 lie close to the centre of the hill as 

 shown in illustration. Skin deep 

 green turning to golden when 

 ripe, flesh bright green blending to 

 light pink near the centre. A 

 splendid melon for the more 

 northerly States. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 oz., 20 cts.; i lb., 50 cts.; lb., 

 $1.75. 



Muskmelon 



Hoodoo, or Hearts 



of Gold 



505 The vines make a strong and 

 vigorous growth, which makes 

 them remarkably disease-resistant 

 and subsequently prolific of de- 

 lightfully flavored fruits. The 

 Melons are of medium size, round, 

 and present a fine attractive ap- 

 pearance. The rind and flesh are 

 very firm, the skin is thickly 

 netted, and the flesh a rich, deep 

 orange color, fine grained with a 

 very small seed cavity and of re- 

 markable sweetness and spicy 

 flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; 

 lib., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 



Early Knight or Sweet Air Muskmelon (Just as it grows) 



Ideal Yellow Globe Onion 



572 An exceedingly handsome yellow Onion of medium size. 

 Its general characteristics stamp it as the best main-crop 

 variety of its type, and we are pleased to offer it, feeling sure 

 that it will fully satisfy all who desire to grow large Onions 

 from seed. The bulbs are true globe-shape, with skin of a 

 pleasing yellow color, flesh white and of a mild flavor and it is 

 an excellent keeper. It is not the ordinary Southport Yellow 

 Globe, but is superior, much more productive, and we espe- 

 cially recommend it for planting in the home garden. Seed 

 crop almost a total failure. Pkt., 10 cts.; J oz., 35 cts.; 

 oz., 60cts.; i lb., $2.00; lb., $7.00. 



Southport White Globe Onion 



584 A well known and popular standard sort, of med- 

 ium size and perfect shape. The bulbs are pure 

 white and of a very mild flavor, also are very good 

 keepers. The flesh is remarkably 

 firm and solid. It is an 

 enormous yielder, and very 

 attractive. Seed crop almost a 

 total failure. Pkt., 10 cts.; | 

 oz., 40 cts.; oz., 75 cts.; j lb., 

 $2.75; lb., $10.00. 



Dreer's Dwarf 

 Perfection Parsley 



600 Easily the most perfect strain 

 of this fine and most valuable 

 Parsley. The habit is regular 

 and compact, and the exquisite- 

 ly fine and prettily curled leaves 

 are set so closely that the form 

 of the plant is almost semi- 

 globular. The color is a won- 

 derful bright pea-green, and 

 flavor surpasses all other Pars- 

 ley. This variety combines tiie 

 quality of a fine culinary herb 

 with that of a beautiful deco- 

 rative plant, and is equally 

 valuable for garnishing pur- 

 poses and border. Pkt., 10 

 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; i lb., 60 cts.; 

 lb., $1.50. ■ 



NOTE 



Early Eight-Weeks Pea 



628 Our grower writes to us concerning this new Pea as follows: 

 "For the private gardener, who demands a first early dwarf 

 Pea of good quality, the Early Eight- Weeks is very desirable " 

 In our Pea Trials, it was ready for picking before any of the 

 other extra early varieties and the quality all that could be 

 asked for in a smooth extra early Pea. The vines were very 

 dwarf, growing only 12 to 15 inches in height and loaded with 

 the well fiUed pods, which were quite large in size for so early 

 a variety. The pods should be picked from vines whUe they 

 are in a young state of growth, at which time the peas are 

 exceedingly tender and of a most delicious flavor. Pkt., 10 cts , 

 postpaid. I lb., 25 cts.; lb., 45 cts.; 2 lbs., 80 cts.; 10 lbs. $3.5o! 



Laxtonian Pea 



649 The ideal variety for the smaU home garden where 



space is at a premium. Laxtonian grows' but 18 



inches high, but the vines are exceedingly vigorous 



and produces the largest pods of any extra early 



sort. Pods average 4 inches long and 



are uniformly well filled with 8 deep 



green, large peas, of delightful flavor. 



Ready for gathering within 70 days 



from the time seeds are sown, and 



since it is quite hardy it may be 



planted about the same time as 



the still hardier smooth-seeded 



varieties. Pkt., 10 cts., postpaid. 



§ lb., 25 cts;; lb., 45 cts.; 2 lbs., 85 



cts.; 10 lbs., $4.00. 



Potlatch Pea 



682 One of the best main crop vari- 

 eties. The vines grow to a 

 height of about 24 inches; 

 foliage is a healthy dark green 

 color, and the crop matures in 

 about 80 days. The pods, which 

 are borne in pairs, are long, 

 dark green and well filled with 

 large Peas. Because of its great 

 productiveness and fine quality 

 the "Potlatch" will surely please 

 all who plant it. Pkt., 10 cts., 

 postpaid, i lb., 25 cts.; lb., 45 

 cts; 2 lbs., 80 cts; 10 lbs., $3.75.
