An Entirely New Strain of Mammoth Onions from 



the Island of Sardinia. 



Red. — Oval-round shape and produces onions from seed 

 . the first season, weighing from 2 to 5 pounds apiece. The skin 

 is a very dark red, in fact, almost blood-red in color ; the flesh 

 white or light rose colored ; in flavor they are very mild and 

 sweet. The best results are obtained by sowing seed in loamy, 

 heavy soil, and if properly cultivated will produce onions 

 larger than any other known variety. Its keeping qualities are 

 unsurpassed. Per pkt., locts. ; oz., 25 cts. ; % lb., 90 cts.; lb.. 



White. — This variety has the same qualities as the Red, 

 growing equally as large. The skin is silver white, but occa- 

 sionally is of a delicate light rose color ; flesh sweet, juicy and 

 milky white. Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; lb., 90 cts.; lb.,

ajintet? Pineapple CQuskmelon. 



This muskmelon in appearance is entirely distinct from any other 

 ever grown in this country. The outside skin instead of being netted is 

 deeply corrugated, as will be seen in the engraving. They have the 

 thickest flesh of any melon, with but a small seed cavity. Indeed, they 

 might be said to be almost solid, and an average melon will weigh nearly 

 twice as much as any other melon of the same size. When ripe, the 

 outside skin is of a rich yellow, intermingled with light green, the yellow 

 predominating on the lower half. The flesh is a light green color, 

 unusually spicy, melting and delicious. The rind, though firm, is thin, 

 and the melon can be eaten clean up to the outer skin. The delightful 

 fragrance of this new melon is beyond description, being of a rich, 

 aromatic pineapple flavor, far exceeding any other muskmelon ever 

 introduced. But the most remarkable and valuable feature 

 of this new melon is its wonderful keeping- qualities. They 

 Winter Pineapple Muskmelon. do not ripen on the \dnes like other muskmelons, but have to be picked 

 before hard frost and laid away in a cool, dry cellar, where they will keep sound and sweet for months. 

 When wanted for use they must be brought into a warm room, when they will ripen up in a few days. 

 They are hardy and very prolific. We do not recommend this melon for planting in the Eastern or 

 Middle States; it grows to perfection in the Southern and Western States. Per pkt., 10 cts. ; 3 pkts., 25 cts. 



Giant Pascal Celet^y. 



This fine new variety is, without doubt, the most remarkable novelty in celery obtained since the 

 introduction of the Golden Self-Blanching, from which it is a sport, carefully established by skilful 

 selection. It partakes of the rich, nutty flavor peculiar to the Golden Self-Blanching, and is abso- 

 lutely free from any bitter taste. In appearance it surpasses all other varieties, growing one-fourth taller 

 than its parent ; the stalks are remarkably large, thick, solid and entirely stringless. It is the largest 

 celery grown as regards width and thickness of stalks. It is a very vigorous grower ; the outer stalks 

 are green, but the heart is a rich, bright yellow. It blanches quite easily, requiring but 5 or 6 days' 

 earthing up. It is the best keeper of all celeries, and is \vithout question The Celery for January and 

 February use. It does not rust or rot and is a most excellent shipper, and the cells are so very free from 

 the presence of water that it always retains its crisp, brittle appearance. We have the genuine seed 

 direct from the introducer. Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; % lb., $1.00; lb., fo.50.
