YOSEMITE MAMMOTH WAX BUSH BEAN. 
This is a most distinct NOVELiTY, and combines exquisite 
quality and productiveness with enormous size. The pods are 
FULL, of FI.ESHY FULF and POSITIVELY STKING- 
U2SS, cooking tender and delicious. The mammoth pods 
average 10 to 14 inches in length, are of rich, golden color, 
making a most handsome appearance either on the plant or 
on the table. The Yosemite combines size, productiveness 
and quality in one variety, and is the perfection of wax beans. 
The plant is remarkably vigorous, covering the ground with 
its heavy foliage in such a manner as to shade the earth and 
to keef) It moist, and if the pods are kept closely picked new 
ones will continue to be produced, and a marvellously large 
crop will be obtained. The YOSEMITE outstrips all known 
varieties in size, jdeld and good qualities. A most desirable 
bean for family gardens. Per pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 40 cts.; quart, 
75 cts., postpaid, by mail. 
FORDHOOK SQUASH. 
The size is most convenient for family use, and the appear- 
ance extremely handsome, of a bright yellow outside, and a 
straw-yellow within. The flesh is as "dry as Pike's Peak, and 
much sweeter "—making it the best in quality of all winter 
squashes. It seems incapable of rotting, and placed in a cool, 
dry room, keeps in perfect condition throughout the winter 
and spring, until late in June, when summer squashes are 
ready. It is a strong and rapid grower, so that the striped bug 
has never injured it as "it grows away from them"— being 
earlier in ripening than any other winter squash. The meat is 
very thick, and seed cavity small. It is an "all the year round" 
squash. • Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz..l5cts.; 34 lb., 40 cts.; lb.,fl.50. 
THE STONE TOMATO. 
This is one of the finest tomatoes for main crop ever intro- 
duced ; very large size and of bright scarlet color, very smooth, 
ripening evenly to the stem without a crack. As indicated by 
its name it is exceedingly solid and firm fleshed. As a shipper 
it has no equal, and the quality is the very best. It is not 
subject to rot, has no hard core and is an excellent keeper. 
For market purposes it is very attractive. The vines and 
foliage grow rank and robust and are heavily loaded with 
fine, uniform specimens. It is the coming tomato for market 
gardeners and canners and private gai deners. Per pkt. , 10 cts. ; 
oz., 30 cts.; ^ lb., 85 cts.; lb., $3.00, postpaid. 
WHITE 
CHINESE RADISH. 
It was recently noticed in California that the Chinese gar- 
deners had an entirely distinct and very superior white 
summer radish, and so carefully guarded was the stock that 
it was necessary to send to China to obtain the genuine seed. 
The roots are of beautiful shape, being elongated about 2 
inches across the top, and gradually tapering, but ending 
abruptly like a stump-rooted carrot. The thin skin and solid 
flesh are both snow-white crisp, brittle and of the very best quality. 
It is a quick-growing radish ; can be pulled at any stage, and 
even when large, is firm and solid. It makes really good 
radishes in mid-summer that are not pithy, but crisp and 
refreshing to the taste. It is best adapted for winter radishes, 
for which purpose seed should be sown in August. Per pkt., 
10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 1^ lb., 35 cts.; lb., 81.10. 
MAMMOTH PRIZE-TAKER ONION. 
They are of a clean bright straw color, the flesh being pure white, very sweet and tender. Of perfect globe shape and are 
always uniform. In all large cities in the fall of the year these onions can be found on sale at the fruit stands and command 
the highest prices. Either for market, family use or exhibition purposes, it has no equal, and as a keeper it is unsurpassed. 
It will yield 950 bushels and over per acre. Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; % lb., 80 cts.; lb., ?2.75.
