 young, only 2 to 4 inches long, are most delicious in flavor,

 Egg'Plant. The squashes are of oblong shape, green and 

 white striped. The little fruits are much better if cooked 

 when quite voung. Per pkt.. )0 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 34 lb., 25 

 Cts.; lb., 75 cts. 



BRAZIL SUGAR. This variety grows with the greatest 



rapidity, and for this reason is particularly valuable in local- 

 ities where the striped bug abounds, as they are able to do it 

 but little, if any, injury. It is immensealy productive, one of 

 the best varieties for summer and autumn use, and ia exceed- 

 ingly sweet and rich flavored. The skin is a beautiful golden 

 yellow, as is also the flesh, which is slightly tinged with 

 green, and for the table it may be used at almost any stage of 

 its growth. It is from 6 to 8 inches in length, ripens early and 

 is very hardy. Perpkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 34 lb., 25 cts.; lb.,

 grained and is the sweetest variety. The flesh is thick, rich 

 colored and solid, and its keeping qualities unsurpassed. It is 

 early, of exceedingly quick growth, and its productiveness in 

 some instances has been a source of the most pleasant sur- 

 prise to those not acquainted with its characteristics. Of an 

 average weight of 10 pounds. Per pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 34 

 lb„20cts.; lb.. 60 cts. 



FORD HOOK SQUASHT. The size is most conve- 

 nient for family use and the appearance extremely hand- 

 some, of a bright yellow outside and a straw yellow with- 

 in. It seems incapable of rotting, and placed in a cool, 

 dry room, keeps in perfect condition throughout the win- 

 ter and spring. It is a strong and rapid grower, so that the 

 striped bug has never injured it, as it grows away from 

 them, being earlier tn ripening than any other winter 

 squash. The meat is very thick and seed cavity small.

 very hard and so very thin and smooth as to occasion httle

 bright orange color; dry, and it has a moi=t rich and delicate 

 flavor, quite distinct from other varieties. The squashes range 

 in weight from 8 to 11 pounds. The vines are vigorous, very 

 productive and ripen the fruit evenly. In keeping qualities 

 it excels all, remaining perfectly sound until the last of April, 

 improving constantly in flavor and quality until the very last. 

 The seed in color and shape is quite distinct from any other 

 varietv. One of the best shippers, owing to the hardness and 

 flintness of the shell. Per pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; 34 lb., 20
