A ustralian Bro<wn Onion. J^ «^ 



Is of medium size, wonderfully 

 liard and solid. They are extremely early 

 in ripening-, and never make any stiff-necks 

 or scallions. Every seed seems to pro- 

 duce a good-sized Onion, and the bulb 

 begins to form very quickly -when the 

 plant is not over three inches high. 

 Planted with the Red Wethersfield, it 

 proved to be nearly four weeks earlier and 

 ripened off more uniformly. From its firm- 

 ness and hardness it will keep longer in 

 good condition than any other Onion 

 known. The color of the skin is a clear 

 amber-brown. 



Fkt., 5c.; oz., 30c.; 2 oz., 30c.; 

 141b., 50c.; lb., gl.70, postpaid.

Pfizetdker Onion 



An excellent keeper, of finest flavor, 

 bandsomeshapeand enormous size; many 

 single Onions having been raised to weigh 

 five pounds and over from seed the first 

 year. It is of the same type as tliose im- 

 mense imported Onions which can be seen 

 in fruit stores and always command a 

 very high price. The Prizetal^er grows 

 always to a perfect globe shape, with a 

 bright straw-colored skin; the necks are 

 verv small, and the Onions always ripen up 

 hard. Pkt., 5c : V2 "Z., 12c.; oz., 30c.; 

 %lb., 45c.; lb., *1.40. 



Absolutely the earliest Cucumber kno^vn. 



A startling surprise for market gardeners; nothing like it ever seen in a 

 Cucumber, Think of it ! Cucumbers five inches long, grown in the open 

 ground from the seed in fifty-five days! In our trial ground tests the past 

 season, the seed was planted May 24th, the same time as forty-eight 

 other varieties. On July 18th it was the only Cucumber with fruit 

 set, and on this date had Cucumbers five inches long. It is also a 

 splendid free-bearing variety, and for earl.y-forcing purposes or for 

 slicing it is the most valuable addition ever made. Try it. Pkt., 10c.

 ter Cucumber

 cumber we have the 

 ne plus ultra of pro-

 and very slightly 

 prickly. Flesh 

 white, of finest fla- 

 vor and never bit- 

 ter. Pkt. 10c; 3

NeTV Muskmelon, S ^ r^ 



In the "Patil Rose " we are offering the best Muskmelon 

 introduced for many years. It is a successful cross of the Osage with 

 the Netted Gem, and combines the sweetness of the former with the 

 fine netting of the Gem. No other Melon equals it in smallness of seed 

 cavit.y, nor approaches it in firmness.
