FAUST'S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES FOR 1894. 



this vanety has been grown at Bristol for us 

 and entirely free from any prickly sort. Per pkt 

 Bushel, $6.00. 



Faust's Genuine 

 Bloomsdale Spinach. 



This variety we have raised at 

 Bristol, Pa., for many years, and 

 not only supply our own exten- 

 sive 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 gardeners of Phila- 

 delphia, and is unsurpassed by 

 any spinach grown elsewhere. 

 The leaves are large, thick, 

 heavy and finely curled, and will 

 stand shipping and handling 

 better than any ether variety. 

 Its quality is unequalled and 

 its productiveness is something 

 wonderful. Every poiind of 

 seed which we offer for sale of 

 and has received the most careful attention to have it pure 

 5 cts.; oz., locts.; X lb., 20c.; lb., 50 cts., postpaid. 



iDWfll^F CHflJVlPlOrl TOJVTflTO. 



This fine new tomato is entirely distinct and its 

 habit of growth is most peculiar, for not only is it 

 dwarf and compact, but the stems being thick, stiff" 

 and short-jointed, it is actually self-supporting 

 when laden with fruit ; no other variety possesses 

 this valuable characteristic. The foliage is very 

 dark green, thick and corrugated ; and differing in . 

 form from that of any other sort. Unsurpassed in 

 productiveness, and its close, upright growth 

 enables it to be planted nearer together than any 

 other sort, therefore yielding more to the acre. The 

 fruit in form and color closely resembles the well- 

 known Acme, and is always smooth and symmetri- 

 cal in form. Of medium size, very attractive in 

 appearance ; the skin is tough and the flesh solid 

 and of the finest quality. Per pkt. , 5 cts. ; oz. , 25 cts. ; 

 X lb. 70 cts.; lb., $2.25. 



iDenveir ]V[af ket Iiettuee. 



This is an early variety of Head Lettuce, 

 either for forcing or open ground, and forms 

 large solid heads of a good light green color, 

 being very slow to go to seed. The leaves are 

 beautifully marked and blistered (like the 

 Savoy Cabbages) and very crisp and tender 

 and of excellent flavor. By these blistered 

 leaves it distinguishes itself from any other 

 kind of lettuce now grown. The shape of 

 the head resembles somewhat the ' ' Hanson, ' ' 

 but is more oblong. We believe this variety 

 to be the finest novelty offered for some time. 

 Per pkt, 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; X ll^., 50 cts.; 

 lb., $1.75.
