]\^e\V Forcii]g I^ettiice, 



"GOLDEN QUEEN." 



A very desirable small, early Yariety, of a most pleasing golden 

 vellow color, that shade which is always most desirable in a Let- 

 tuce. It is one of the most deceptive varieties we have ever seen, 



as at first glance it seems to be a 

 veritable miniature Lettuce; but 

 it foi-ms all solid heads with little 

 or no waste, so that there is really 

 more to it than in many Lettuces 

 double the size. The "Golden 

 Queen " Lettuce is \evy crisp, ten- 

 der and juicy, and of particularly 

 delicate flavor, even when grown 

 in the open ground, resembling in 

 its tender quality the Boston Mar- 

 ket Lettuce when that variety is 

 forced with artificial heat under 

 glass. 



15 cts. per pkt., 35 cts. per oz.,

Jieixx liettuee, 



"BIG BOSTON." 



This variety is identical in color, 

 shape and general appearance with 

 the famous Boston Market Lettuce, 

 but is double the size. It is about 

 one week later in maturing, but its 

 solidity and greater size of head will 

 make it a most valuable sort. A most 

 desirable variety either for forcing or 

 open ground planting. The " Big Bos- 

 ton is sure to be wanted by market 

 gardeners and truckers, because it 

 always produces large, solid, salable 

 heads, and it will commend itself to 

 amateui's because it heads up well at 

 all seasons of the year and is of crisp, 

 tender quality. (See cut.) 



Price, 15 cts. per pkt., 35 cts. per oz., 

 $1.00 per 34 lb., $3.50 per lb. 



fleua Celemac, 



" PARIS MARKET." 



A most distinct and valuable variety, 



with tops of half the usual size, which 



enables it to be planted twice as close 



together as ordinary Celeriac. The 



roots are of good size, round and 



smooth as an apple. It is at least ten days earlier than any other 



variety, which will commend it particularly to market gardeners. 



(/See cut.) 20 cts. per pkt., 6 pkts for $1.00.

I'EPPEB, "C0T7KTY PAIR." 



fieux Sixxeet Pepper, 



"COUNTY FAIR." 



This variety has been grown on a large scale for years by one of the 

 most practical and intelligent of New Jersey's farmers, and although he 

 has tried all others he has found nothing to equal in quality and pro- 

 ductiveness the "County Fair." It is of strikingly handsome appear- 

 ance that at once arrests the eye, whether in the market or on the 

 exhibition stand of an agricultural fair. The peppers are of medium 

 size, but are vei-y solid and "meaty," and of sweet, sprightly flavor, 

 entirely free from any biting or burning taste. (See cut.) 



15 cts. per pkt., 8 pkts. for Sl.OO. 



pQppev, "Cat^dinal." 



A very distinct variety, growing from 5 to 6 inches in length, being about an inch broad at 

 the top and tapering to a point. This Pepper is slightly scimetar-shaped, and is a gIot*sy 

 bright red color. Verj^ sweet and thick fleshed. 



Price, 15 cts. per pkt., $1.00 per oz.
