The novelties and specialties ofifered by us have all been thoroughly tried and tested, and 

 -* will be found superior to many of the standard sorts. The novelty business is greatly overdone, 

 many of the so-called novelties being only old varieties sent out under a new name and at fancy prices, 

 This state of affairs is deplored by all first-class seedsmen, and the practice of humbugging the public should 

 be stopped. Being fully aware of this state of affairs, we oaly offer new seeds of merit. 



N^w Triumph I^adish. 



This new and beautiful radish comes to us from 

 Holland, and when mixed in with a bunch of scarlet 

 radishes, makes a pleasing contrast. The globe- 

 shaped roots are strikingly handsome, having bright 

 scarlet stripes on a white ground. Matures very 

 <iuickly, and is a splendid forcing variety, with small 

 leaves and short top. The warmth of the hot bed 

 makes its peculiar colorings quite prominent. Of 

 mild flavor; very crisp and tender. A desirable 

 A^ariety either for forcing or growing in the open 

 ground. Per pkt., lOcts.; oz., 20 cts. ; Jib., 50 cts.

Hocl(\J Ford /Vlusl<melon. 



This new melon that last year came into such popular favor, is of the 

 Netted Gem type, oval in shape and most beautifully netted. They are 

 a decided improvement over the old Netted Gem, as they possess much 

 better shipping and keeping qualities. From Eocky Ford, Colorado, 

 carloads are shipped to all the large cities of the United States. This 

 and the excellent quality of the melon has given it a wide reputation. 

 The melons average 5 inches in length, and are of the most delicious 

 flavor. Flesh is smooth-grained, of a light green color. It is the most 

 popular and best variety for the private gardener, trucker or large 

 grower to grow. In season this choice melon can be found at all the 

 leading hotels and restaurants throughout the country. Per pkt. , 5 cts. ; 

 oz., 10 cts. ; ilb., 30 cts.; lb., $1.00, postpaid. By express or freight,
