Celery, "Giant Pascal." 



This variety' is a selection from tlie New Golden Self-blanching 

 Celery which has become so popular in the last few years ; it par- 

 takes of the best qualities of that variety, but is much larger and a 

 better keeper. It is of a tine, nutty flavor, being entirely free from 

 any bitter taste. It grows about two feet high ; the stalks are very 

 broad, thick and crisp, and entirely stringless; the width and thick- 

 ness of the stalks are distinctive featui'es of this variety. It bleaches 

 with but slight " earthing up," and verj' quickly, usually in five or six 

 days. Likely to prove a most valuable variety for both second early 

 and midwinter use. (See cut.) 10 cts. per pkt., 50 cts. per oz., SI. 25 

 per X lb-. S4-50 per lb. 



Jlem Tomato, "Table Queen." 



This is the great premium variety which we offered in 1890, not a 

 single packet of which was sold, but every one of the fifty thousand 

 (50,000) packets sent out went as a premium on orders for other seeds. 

 Our idea in making this unique distribution was to introduce this 

 superb variety into general use at once, and that this object was 

 attained, the enormous number of packets disposed of plainly tells. 

 We doubt if anj' novelty that we have ever introduced has given more 

 general satisfaction, or has caused us to receive so many flattering 

 letters from all sections of the country. The "Table Queen " Tomato 

 is the largest and heaviest smooth Tomato ever offered, being as large 

 as the Mikado, but perfectly smooth and round. For slicing it is the 

 Tomato "PAR. Ex;cEt,t,EPiCE," as it is wonderfully solid and 

 contains comparatively few seeds. The color of the "Table Queen" 

 is a rich shade of crimson, and of a most agreeable acid flavor. It is 

 undoubtedly the most satisfactory Tomato for private gardens that 

 has been sent out in many j'ears. Price, 15 cts. per pkt., 75 cts. per 

 oz., $2.50 per I4 lb., S8.00 per lb. 



NEW CELEny, "GIAKT PASCAL." 



fieui liettuee, "Sunset." 



A head Lettuce of splendid quality, with 

 characteristics that commend it to all. It 

 forms large, solid heads of a rich golden yel- 

 low, a shade ot color hitherto unknown in 

 this class of Lettuce. It stands very long 

 before going to seed, and is also an excellent 

 keeper after being cut, a quality which will 

 make it a desirable sort for shipping pur- 

 poses as well as for private use. We gave 

 the Sunset Lettuce a very thorough trial last 

 season and we found it to be one of the best 

 heat-resisting lettuces that we had ever seen. 

 In fact, the Big Boston and Sunset were in 

 giMMl condition on our trial grounds when all 

 other varieties were passed. Price, 15 cts. per 

 pkt., 50 cts. per oz., SI. 50 per }i lb., $4.00 lb.

XEW COS OR. CEIUERY I.ETTUCE, 



"THIANOfi." 



This is the favorite class of Lettuces in Europe, and this variety 

 is the very finest of its class; already they are becoming more popular 

 here. The long, narrow leaves, M-hich form solid heads, almost like a 

 Wakefield Cabbage, bleach and quickly become snowy M-hite. They 

 excel all other Lettuces in quality, having a taste and crispness 

 unequaled. The leaves when bleached are stiff like Celery stalks and can 

 be eaten in the same manner. {See cut.) Price, 15 cts. per pkt., GO cts. 

 per oz., S2.00 per 14 lb.
