Columbian Squash. 



In this remarkable novelty we 

 find "the useful" as well as "the 

 ornamental" combined, the two 

 tare qualities seldom found in the 

 garden vegetable. The vine, which 

 runs but little, bears a number of 

 large finely spotted leaves and very- 

 large yellow flowers. The fruits 

 are round, flattened, pure white and 

 handsomely striped with green. 

 The flesh and seeds are very white. 

 The fruit is produced in large num- 

 bers, and one ripened and dried will 

 keep for a long time. The seed is 

 also appreciated, in certain coun- 

 tries, as a vegetable. Even the flow- 

 ers are dipped in the yellow of egg 

 and fried, making an extremely 

 delicate side-dish. Exaggerated as 

 Electros free with orders for one hundred pkts. or over. this description may seem, yet it is 



vouched for by the introducers of 

 this great and desirable novelty.

MELROSE MELON. 



The most handsome and decidedly the BEST of all new Cantaloupes. 



Melrose Melon, introduced in 1893, has fully sustained all claims that it is the best of all 

 musk-melons. It is a verv hardy, strong and vigorous grower, the vines remaining green longer 

 than any other variety. The melons are produced abundantly and very close to the hill — a feature, 

 of the greatest value. The color is rich, dark green ; the shape is oval, as shown in the illustration. 

 The melons average in weight about four pounds, and are finely and densely netted, showing but 

 slight tendency to rib ; the form is remarkably perfect and true ; all in all, the handsomest and 

 most showy of all melons. The flesh is very thick and solid ; clear, light green in color, shading 

 to a rich salmon at the seed cavity. In flavor, The Melrose cannot be equalled by any other 

 variety, and carries its superior quality and sweetness to the extreme edge of the skin. It is 

 about one week later in ripening than the small early Jenny Lind. This superb new variety will 

 produce more good, salable melons, "hold up" longer, stand more handling and rough usage 

 than any other known, thus makng it the best and most desirable either for home or market 

 purposes. 



Trade price, per pound, $1.25. 



ALL HEAD EA"RLLJ CABBAGE 



This new variety, recently introduced, has given excellent satisfaction. It is one of the 

 earliest large Cabbages, being one-third larger than Early Summer. The deep, flat heads, are 

 remarkably tender, solid and uniform, in color as well in size and shape. It is all that can be de- 

 sired for earliness. It is also valuable for a late or Winter Cabbage. Electros free.
