XX. Fruits of Lagenaria vulgaris. 



These highly inceresting fruits of many interesting shapes are not yet sufficiently known, although they are a most 



attractive object for show-windows, and at the same time a very salable article. The very often really gigantic fruits, 



for instance those of the Hercules club, are so decorative that they sell very readily, and there is no kind that is not 

 highly decorative.

Asparagus Lettuce (Electro). 



The Asparagus Lettuce was until now represented only by 

 the narrow leaved form, Lactuca angustana. We now offer 

 for the first time to the trade quite a new form with broad 

 green deeply cut leaves, which is far superior to the former one 

 for its exquisite flavor. The plant attains a height and diameter 

 of about io inches, stands long before running to seed, and can 

 be highly recommended, quite specially for southern countries, 

 per oz i/6d; per lb. 18/ — . 



Capsicum mild red Harald (Electro). 



The fruits of this new and valuable sort resemble much 

 the Ruby King as to size shape and color, but contrary to this 

 latter kind the fruits stand perfectly upright above the leaves, 

 a decided advantage over the other kinds as the fruits are 

 I more exposed to the sun, thus ripening better and more 

 quickly.
