FAUST'S NOVBI.TIBS AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1894. 



5 



Celestial Pepper. 



This pepper originally came from China, 

 and the plant is one of the most beautiful and 

 attractive in cultivation. The plant begins to 

 set its peppers early in the season, and con- 

 tinues until frost, branching freely and bear- 

 ing profusely. The peppers up to the time 

 they are fully grown, are of a delicate creamy, 

 yellow color, and when fully grown, change 

 to an intense vivid scarlet, making a plant, 

 when loaded with fruit, part of one color and 

 part of the other, an object of the most strik- 

 ing beauty and oddity. The peppers are 2 

 to 3 inches long, of clear, sharp flavor and 

 superior for any of the uses to which a pep- 

 per can be put. They are all carried upright, 

 and the brilliant contrast in color makes a 

 beautiful sight. Per pkt, 10 cts. ; oz,, 25 

 cts. ; X lb., 75 cts.; lb., I2.50. 



Perkin's Mammoth Long Podded Okra. 



The pods are an intense green color, 

 about 8 inches long, and do not get hard, as 

 with other sorts. Its productiveness is Simply 

 wonderful, the pods shooting out from the 

 bottom of the stalk within 3 inches of the 

 ground, and the whole plant is covered with 

 them to the height of a man's head. Mr. 

 Perkins always obtains $3.00 to I4.00 per bas- 

 ket for his Okras in Philadelphia markets ; 

 also, much sought after by canners, being the 

 best of all green sorts for winter use. Pkt. , 

 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; %. lb., 25 cts.; lb., 90 cts., 

 postpaid. 



White Multiplier Onion Sets. 



This new variety is enormously productive, fre- 

 quently producing as many as 20 bulbs in a cluster 

 from a single bulb planted. The color is pure, sil- 

 very white. The quality is unexcelled and the size 

 just right for bunching green ; while if ripened for 

 use as pickling onions, it can be grown very profit- 

 ably. When ripened, their keeping qualities are 

 remarkable, having been known to keep perfectly 

 sound for one year. It is aptly said of them ' ' that 

 the grass and weeds cannot grow fast enough to 

 cover them." The largest of the sets, if allowed to 

 grow through the summer, make an onion of fair 

 size, which divides when ripening in the fall, multi- 

 plying liberally for another season. Another fea- 

 ture is extreme earliness, being 3 weeks ahead of 

 any other onion sets. Per pint, 25 cts. ; quart, 45 

 cts., postpaid. 



Faust's Prize Head Late 

 Flat Dutch Cabbage. 



This fine cabbage has been pro- 

 nounced by all who have seen it to be 

 the finest strain of Late Flat Dutch 

 Cabbage in the world. It is a low- 

 growing variety ; the large bluish -green 

 heads are round, very solid, broad and 

 flat on top, of the very finest quality. 

 It is a superb variety for fall use and is 

 the best for late keeping. It is the 

 result of years of the most careful selec- 

 tion, and is sought after in preference 

 to other late sorts by I'arge growers of 

 cabbages. It never fails to make a per- 

 fect, solid head and is most uniform in 

 size and color. Our seed has been 

 grown from large and carefully selected 

 heads, and we confidently recommend 

 it as being the finest strain ever intro- 

 duced. Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; 

 X lb., |i. 00; lb., I3.50. 



Climbing Cucumber. 



This new cucumber has created unparalleled 

 sensation in the trade on the Continent, and has 

 proved to be a valuable novelty. It climbs vigor- 

 ously to a height of 6 or 7 feet on poles, and is 

 prized for its prolific and hardy qualities, a single 

 vine bearing 50 to 75 well-formed fruits, about 10 

 inches in length, of a dark -green color and of 

 delicious flavor. The fruits are netted when ripe. 

 The fruit is very fleshy, solid and sweet, with 

 exceptionally few seeds. As a variety for slicing, 

 they will prove very useful, while for exhibition no 

 other cucumber will attract so much attention. 

 Their shape is very uniform, straight and perfectly 

 smooth. Although very hardy, it forces well and 

 comes into bearing very early. Per pkt., 10 cts.; 

 3 pkts. , 25 cts.
