TENNESSEE SWEET POTATO PUMPKIN. There 

 is no variety of pumpkin in cultivation that has given as great 

 satisfaction. Our sales of it have doubled those of other sorts, 

 and we have never received a single complaint of its growth 

 or quality. When cooked, it has somewhat the appearance 

 of a sweet potato, but is more delicious in flavor, and for pies 

 and custards it has no equal. Color, creamy white, lightly 

 striped with green; flesh thick, creamy white and exceed*- 

 ingly fine grained. Hardy, productive, sweet and delicious, 

 and one of the best for cooking purposes ever introduced. 

 The seed which we offer we guarantee to be from selected 

 specimens and of true type. Per pkt, 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; l£ 

 lb.,30cts.; lb., 81.00. 



SMALL. SUGAR. A first-rate variety of small size ; finer 

 grained than the larger sorts ; sweet and sugary. Very pro- 

 lific and a good keeper. Per pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 10 cts.; % lb , 20 

 cts.; lb., 50 cts. 



Genuine Mammoth, or True Potiron. 

 GENUINE MAMMOTH, or TRUE POTIRON. This 

 variety grows to enormous size, 3 feet or more in diameter, 

 some specimens having weighed over 200 pounds. Skin sal- 

 mon color, flesh bright vellow, fine grained, of good quality.

It pays us to sell Pure and Reliable Seeds 

 only, and it will pay you to buy only those. 

 We sell Tested Seeds, which are the only kind 

 you want. 



Our Radish seed is raised from the best strains of seeds and 

 can be relied upon to produce the finest Radishes. A large 

 portion of the seed we offer is raised at Bristol, Pa., under 

 our personal supervision and we unhesitatinglv pronounce it 

 far superior to the cheap French seed usuallv sold for home 

 grown. 



For succession, sow every 10 days in open ground, from 

 early in the spring until late in the summer ; the soil should 

 be very rich and finely pulverized. For an earlv supply they 

 may be sown in hot -bed in Februarv, it beinjf borne in mind 

 that they must have plenty of ventilation to prevent their 

 running to leaves. They thrive best in a light sandy loam.
