I T comes in soon after Cory begins, and 

 ^ about the same time as Minnesota ; ears 8 

 to 10 inches long and white; number of rows 

 varying from 10 to 16, with the majority 12 ; 



kernels broad, white, sweet and 

 running well to the tip and of 

 excellent flavor ; stalks short, 

 bearing close planting and 

 seeming to throw their whole 

 strength into the ears, of which 

 there are often two on one stalk, 

 making it enormously produc- 

 tive. It was first introduced to 

 the trade in 1897, though in 

 limited quantities. We have 

 received numerous letters ex- 

 tolling its great worth. 



Excelsior White Dutch Cabbage Seed. Late. Large, Round Solid Heads. 



Has stood the trial test in this cotintry during- three years, and is highly recommended by leading 

 growers and seedsmen. A word from an American market-gardener, who has been supplied bvnie with 

 seed of the above Cabbage. Mr. Jacob Wride, market gardener, of Auburn, N. Y., writes under date of 

 January 26, 1897 : "In regard to the <::^Q.h\>s,'g&, they vvej'e the best I ever raised, oxi^ I have been raising- 

 cabbage for 20 years. The average weight was from 12 to 18 pounds, and they often zveiffhed 2^ tounds . 

 They are good keepers and do not rot, as other kinds often do. The quality was of the best, and the 

 color could not be better. I set 8,000 to try them, and will raise no other this year." 



The stalks of this new variety do not grow as large with us as those 

 of the Giant Pascal or Kalamazoo, but are larger than those of Bos- 

 ton Market or White Plume. It has a compact habit of growth and is a fine keeper. While it is crisp, 

 brittle and tender, it has a stronger celery taste than any other variety. We recommend it as a good 

 late keeping sort. Lb. $3.50, oz. 30c, 



This is rightly named. A most perfect sweet corn; delicious, 

 tender and fine flavored variety. The finest later variety on 

 the whole list of sweet corn. Qt. 25c, bu. $3.50.

The New Musk Melon "PAUL ROSE." Srites?"^"^^ 



" I have found in my experience of nearly twenty years in melon 

 growing, that there is an increased demand m most of the large cities 

 of the Northern States for salmon-fleshed melons, and further that the 

 trade prefer their melons in the half-bushel climax basket. For this 

 reason I have labored to bring this melon to perfection, and what 

 you have already seen and learned of it, and by what the trade says of 

 it wherever it has been introduced you can judge whether I have suc- 

 ceeded in supplying the * long felt want ' or not. The Osage is too large 

 for a basket melon. The Emerald Gem will not stand transportation or 

 warm weather, besides it grows all sized melons on the same vine. The 

 Paul Rose corrects these faults, and zvill carry fa?'ther^ stand up longer^ 

 and give better satisfaction than any sal^non-fleshed melon I have ever 

 grown. It is the best melon I have found for the North. M}^ experience

ern Indiana the 



past season was highly satisfactory except that 

 it grows a little larger. I shall discard the Osage 

 and plant the Paul Rose melon instead. This 

 melon I shipped this season to Pittsburgh, Cleve- 

 land, Toledo, Indianapolis, Chicago and other 

 distan. points, and in every instance it arrived in 

 if^good condition and sold for top prices." Pkt. 10c,

Choice Cauliflower Seed.i™?tlf- 



ways from the same growers and for several years 

 have not had one failure. It will produce a greater 

 number of perfect heads than any other strain of 

 cauliflower we ever saw. Of all the varieties that 

 have been tried in this market our strain of Er- 

 furt has given the best satisfaction. We have our 

 usual stock of Perry's Erfurt, also Long Island 

 Beauty, Snowball, Denmark, and Half Early 

 Paris. For prices see our list, page 3. We assure 

 you the quality is always the same and no cheap 

 seed offered you in its place. There is no better 

 cauliflower seed in the market, even if you pay 

 fancy prices for others. Our price is $3.00 per 

 ounce.
