^^^Ng^/v Faust's Genuine 



Bloomsdale Spinach. 



This var.ety we have raised at Bristol, 

 Pa., ior 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 quality is unequalled and its 

 product iveness 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 an v prickly sort. Per 

 pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; ^ lb., 20 cts.; lb., 

 50 cts., postpaid. By express or freight, 

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



New Japanese 



Climbing Cucumber. 



This new cucumber originally came from Japan, and 

 when first introduced created an unparallelled sen- 

 sation in the trade on the continent, and has proved 

 to be a valuable novelty. It climbs vigorously to a 

 height of 6 or 7 feet on poles, and is prized for its pro- 

 lific 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, and very fleshy, solid and sweet, 

 with exceptionally few seeds. As "a variety for slic- 

 ing, 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 earlv. Per pkt.. 10 ets.; oz., 

 15 cts.; 341b., 40 cts.; lb., $1.25, postpaid.

 markably vigorous, covering the ground with its heavy 

 foliage in such a manner as to shade the earth and to 

 keepit moist., and if the pods are kept closely picked new 

 ones will continue to be produced, and a'marvellouslv 

 large crpp will be obtained. The YOSEMITE outstrips 

 all known varieties in size, yield and good qualities. A 

 most desirable bean for family gardens. Per pkt., 10 cts.;

New Japanese Climbing Cucumber 



It was recently noticed in California that the Chinese gar- 

 deners had an entirely distinct and very superior white sum- 

 mer radish, and so carefully guarded was the stock thai 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 snowwliite, 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 rad- 

 ishes in mid-summer, that are not pithy, but crisp and refresh- 

 ing to the taste. It is best adapted for winter radishes, for 

 which purpose seed should be sown in August. Our supply of 

 seed is so limited this j'ear that we have been compelled to 

 refuse orders from other seedsmen, and wo therefore request 

 early orders from customers. Pkt, 10c, oz. 15c, % lb.°.5c, lb. $1.15.
