NEW GIANT PASCAL, CELERY The longest ribbed 



In cultivation. This brand new celery, which I now take pleasure in 

 oll'ering to my customers for the first time, promises to be as gTeat an 

 addition to our list of varieties of this delicious vegetable as the Golden 

 Self Blanching. It comes from the same source, and is thus described 

 by the introducer. " A wonderful keeper, to sell and ship after Golden 

 .Si ll Blanching is sold out. Being an offspring of the latter, most carefully 

 selected, it partakes of its nutty flavor and has no bitter taste at all. The 

 height is about two feet. The stalks are very large, thick, solid and not 

 stringy. In fact It Is the largest celery ever known as to 

 width of stalks. The outer look of it, when not vet blanched is green ; 

 the heart is golden yellow 

 and very full. It blanches 

 very easily (say live or six 

 days earthing up) and is the 

 celery for January and 

 February use, most excellent 

 for shipping purposes, as it 

 keeps crisp very long without 

 flagging." No' lover of line 

 celery should neglect includ- 

 ing a packet or two of New- 

 Pascal in their order. It Is 

 certain to more tban 

 please every market or 

 borne gardener who 

 sows It. Packet, 15 cents ; 

 2 packets, 2"> cents. 



N K W M A It It E T 

 GARDENER'S BEET. 



— This new variety was 

 discovered ten vears ago in a 

 field of Pineapple Beets. Ever 

 since, by constant selection, and 

 keeping in mind at all times its 

 ideal shape, color and size, it has 

 been perfected, until now the origi- 

 nators consider it the best general 

 purpose beet in cultivation. 

 As will be noticed from illustration 

 herewith given, it is very symmetrical, 

 with small taproot and "but few fibrous 

 roots. Unusually small tops. At the age of 



Egyptian It is larger, while it continues to grow until late in the Fall, 

 attaining a large size and making a good selling and eatujg beet for 

 Winter. By the first of October they measure eight inches in diameter, 

 and average six pounds each in" weight. One sowing only is 

 necessary to produce early beets for market and main crop 

 for Winter use, which is not the case witb any other variety. 

 Color outside is deep blood-red ; inside layers of blood-red and light red 

 alternately. When cooked they are a beautiful dark red throughout, line 

 grained and unsurpassed in quality. Summing it all up, we find in it 

 the Best Beet for Early Market, the Best Beet for Winter Use, and owing 

 to the small tops, permitting them to be grown close together, and the 

 peculiar shape of the bulb, it is the most profitable beet for the 

 market as well as the family garden of any we know of. Packet, 

 10 cents ; ounce, 25 cents ; % pound, 60 cents. 



•JAPANESE PUMPKIN This new 



Pumpkin, originally from Japan, is said to 

 surpass every other variety in flavor. Flesh 

 being unusually fine grained, and when cooked 

 almost as dry and mealy as a sweet potato. It is 

 especially desirable for making pies, custards, 

 etc. Tney grow to a medium size, are very 

 productive, ripen verv early, and are excellent 

 keepers. Pkt, 10c.; oz'., 25c.;* l /± lb., 75c; lb., $2.00. 



MAULE'S EARLIEST 

 SCARLET RADISH. — If you 



are at all anxious to have the 

 earliest radishes in your neighbor- 

 hood, sow Maule's Earliest. Color 

 a rich scarlet, and in favorable 

 weather it will mature 25 days from 

 sowing. Packet, 10 c; ounce, 20 c; 

 "% pound, 40 c; pound, SI. 25. 



MATJLE'S WINTER RADISH This Radish will, as soon as its 



merits become known, supplant China Rose Winter and all other varieties 

 of Winter radishes. Although it is an American grown radish it came 

 originally from China. In shape it is somewhat similar to the California 

 Mammoth White and also to Chinese Mammoth but is much superior to 

 both in every way. The roots being more symmetrical in shape, and of 

 more crisp, solid and superior flavor, It keeps through the whole Winter 

 in excellent condition. My supply of seed being limited, 1 would advise 

 early orders. Packet, 10c; ounce," 20c; }4 pound, 40c; pound, Si. 25.
