< -FIVE UNEQUALED NEW LETTUCES.- 



* DENVER MARKET. 



\, It is an early variety of Head Lettuce, either for forcing or open 

 j ground. It forms large, solid heads, of a good light-green color, and is 



a, very slow to run to seed. The leaves are beautifully curled and crimped 

 „ (like the Savoy Cabbages) and are very tender, crisp and of excellent 



* flavor. The crimp leaves distinguish it from any other kind of Lettuce. 

 £ Packet, 10 cents ; ounce, 20 cents ; % pound, 60 cents ; pound, S2.00. 



St BIG BOSTON. 



ig This is a variety of the Boston Market, which has been perfected by a 

 a celebrated gardener in the neighborhood of Boston, to such an extent that 

 S it is fully double the size of the old variety. It is, however, a little later in 

 ifi maturing; but its unusual size and wonderful solidity are strong recom- 

 B< mendations. All truckers and market gardeners desiring large, salable 

 .J" heads, that are crisp and tender, will find this a most profitable sort. 



* Packet, 10 cents ; ounce, 20 cents ; % pound, 60 cents ; pound, S2.00. 



t TILTON'S WHITE STAR. 



* This variety has been highly recommended as one of the very best va- 

 X rieties for forcing or early planting in the open ground. It forms a large, 



* loose head, has thick savoyed leaves, which keep it fit for use a very long 

 5 time. Cannot help satisfying the most critical market gardener's trade. 



Packet, 10 cents ; ounce, 20 cents ; \i pound, 60 cents ; pound, S2.00. 



NEW ICEBERG. 



This new variety is especially recommended on account of its superior 

 flavor and its handsome large heads. I quote as follows from the intro- 

 ducer : "The large, curly leaves which cover the outside of the solid heads 

 are of a bright light green, with a very slight reddish tinge at the edges ; 



- 



* they have small indents, which are constantly filled with dewdrops. They g 



are thus kept fresh and show a remarkably crystalline appearance, which 

 well warrants the name of Iceberg. The unusual solidity of the heads is 

 insured by the large white main ribs of the leaves each of which, curving 

 strongly into the centre, acts like a truss, making it Impossible for the 

 leaves to open outward and expose the centre, which is constantly thor- 

 oughly blanched. It matters not whether in the earl}' spring or the hottest 

 days of Summer, it never fails and the quality is undoubtedly perfect. 

 Packet, 10 cents ; ounce, 20 cents ; 14 pound, 60 cents ; pound, 52.00. 



THICK=HEAD YELLOW. 



Makes uniformly large, thick heads, as solid as a cabbage. Leaves are 

 slightly crumpled, of a beautiful greenish yellow color, and always of re- 

 markable tenderness. This is accounted for from the fact that It heads more 

 rapidly than anv large Lettuce. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 20c; 14 lb., 60c.; lb., S2.00.

NEW VICTORIA SPINACH. 



THE FAXON SQUASH. 



E. L. Coy has this to say : "I find the Faxon 

 to be the most productive of any variety of win- 

 ter Squash I have ever tested, it is also the best 

 keeper, as well as the very best table variety I 

 have ever seen. I have no personal interest in 

 this squash, whatever, but I would earnestlv ad- 

 vise you to catalogue it. Your customers will all 

 thank you for it. Although the color varies, the 

 peculiar shape is very uniform, so much so that 

 it cannot be mistaken for any other variety. Its 

 fixed and strong characteristics are : Earliness, 

 long keeping, uniformity of shape, variety- of 

 colors and sweetness and richness of flavor. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; J£ lb., 60 cents. 



BERMUDA ONIONS. 



Every one has heard of the Bermuda On- 

 ions. Although I never listed these onions until 

 last year, I have annually sold quite a lot of 

 each variety to my regular customers who wished 

 me to procure it for them. In many sections of the South, especial lv in Louisiana, the Ber- 

 muda Onion has taken the place of the Creole, that Louisiana variety for so manv vears 

 largely cultivated along the Mississippi below New Orleans. I have a limited quantity of true 

 seed of both varieties of t his celebrated Onion, which I offer as follows • 



Bermuda Island White — Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; % lb., 60 cents- lb =2 00 

 Bermuda Island Red.— Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; % lb., 60 cents; lb., S2.00. 



ELEPHANT'S TRUNK 



PEPPER. 



This variety really needs 

 no description; its name and 

 I Illustration herewith fully 

 ji describe It. Grows fully as 

 i large as Ruby King, and 

 ■ while not so thick through, 

 a it is about double the 

 1 length. The fruit is very 

 fleshy and of a bright scarlet 

 color; and as stated above, 

 are very long, frequently 

 measuring 10 to 12 inches in 

 length and 3 to 4 inches 

 broad; flavor mild and 

 pleasant. The plants are 

 wonderfully prolific, produc- 

 ing an abundance of large, 

 solid peppers, resembling in 

 shape an elephant's trunk, 

 hence its name. Packet, 

 15 cents; 2 packets, 25 cents. 



11 



25 cents each; 5 for Si.OO. 



NEW VICTORIA SPINACH. 



This new variety is distinguished for its ex- 

 ceedingly dark black-green color, and also for 

 its very long-standing qualities, being from two 

 to three weeks later than the ordinary "Long- 

 standing." The leaves arethick and spread out 

 flat upon the ground. It is excellent for spring 

 sowing, but not sufficiently hardy to stand the 

 winter in the locality of Philadelphia. In our 

 trials of spinach at Briar Crest last spring, it 

 outyielded every other variety, and at the 

 same time stood longer before" going to seed 

 than the ordinary Long Standing, which was 

 heretofore considered the best variety in this 

 respect. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 10 cents; 

 \4 lb., 20 cents; lb., 50 cents.
