H. G. FAUST & CO., PHILADELPHIA, PA. 



Faust's Genuine 

 Bloomsdale S p inach. 



This variety we have raised at Bristol, 

 Pa., for many years, and not only supply 

 our own extensive market gardeners* 

 trade, but furnish other seed firms with 

 the seed, as they can rely implicitly on 

 our strain. It is largely used and Is 

 highly popular among the market gar- 

 deners of Philadelphia, and is unsur- 

 passed by any spinach grown elsewhere. 

 The leaves are large, thick, heavy and 

 finely curled, and will stand shipping 

 and handling better than any other vari- 

 ety. Its quahty is unequalled and its 

 productiveness is something wonderful. 

 Every pound of seed which we offer for 

 sale of this variety has been grown at 

 Bristol for us, and has received the most 

 careful attention to have it pure and 

 entirely free from any pricklvBort. Per 

 pkt., 5cts.;oz., lOcts.; ^Ib., 20 cts.:lb., 

 50cts., postpaid. Bv express (»r freight, 

 lb., 40 cts.: peck, $1.50; bush., $6.00. 



ImproDed. 

 Ne Plus Ultra Stoeet Corn. 



This new Sweet Corn has given more satisfaction than any 

 other variety ever introduced. The ears are of good size and 

 frequently bear 5 to the stalk, and few stalks produce less than 

 3 good ears, from 6 to 8 inches in length. The cob is very small, 

 thus giving great depth to the kernels, which are of pearly 

 whiteness. Its greatest merit lies in its delicious quality, and 

 it is without question, the most tender and sweetest of all 

 Sweet Corns. This special stock, after years of careful selec- 

 tion, we have improved in the depth of kernel, as well as in the 

 purity and trueness of type.

 freight, quart, 20 cts., peck §1.00, bushel S3.00.
