Stokes' "Bonny Best" 
Early Tomato 
A splendid early and prolific 
market variety. 
"Bonny Best" is a "tried and true" tomato, 
for it has now been before the public two 
seasons and has been tested and proved from 
Florida to Texas and to California, as well 
as in its original home in New Jersey. 
"Bonny Best" is from ten days to two weeks 
earlier than Chalk's Early Jewel, (a grand 
manners' variety) and practically as early as 
Earliana. 
"Bonny Best" is a vigorous grower, enorm- 
ously prolific and with splendid foliage, which' 
protects the fruits from the hot sun on days 
when other varieties with less foliage would 
scald. 
"Bonny Best" will become the greatest ship- 
ping variety, for the entire picking will grade 
into the same crate, owing to its remarkable 
evenness of size. 
"Bonny Best" is intense velvety glowing 
scarlet, the very best color for canning, and 
it ripens right up to the stem. It is smooth, 
■even-sized, firm, solid, and holds its size to 
the end of the season.

Burpee's Fordhook 
Muskmelon 
Burpee's Fordhook Muskmelon 
offered by us last year and proved 
a great success fully equals Emer- 
ald Gem in delicious flavor. So 
firm is the rough-netted skin, and 
so solid the thick salmon flesh, 
that they carry to market even better 
than do the famous "Rocky Ford" Melons. 
■between the netting, is emerald-green. The flesh is very 
thick, of an attractive deep salmon color and surpass- 
ingly sweet to the very rind. It is fully equal in flavor 
to the Emerald Gem. Many say that it is even better — 
■"the most delicious of all melons." The beautiful sal- 
mon flesh, while so surpassingly luscious, is not only 
-very thick, but also extremely solid. The rind, although 
thin, is unusually firm, so that the fruits carry well to 
market. There are no muskmelons (or cantaloupes) 
that are better shippers. 
"Fordhook" Melon is most vigorous in growth, very 
«arly and extremely prolific. The vines grow vigorously 
and each vine sets from five to nine melons immediately 
around the stem; frequently the fruits touch one another. 
The melons are remarkably even in size, weighing from 
1 lb. 8 ozs. to 2 pounds each. "Fordhook" is so "thor- 
oughbred" that there are practically no fruits unfit for 
market. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; Vi lb. 85c; lb. $3.00.

"Sweet Upright" Pepper 
One of Our Best Last Season's Novelties. 
The best Pepper for family gardens and almost unequaled for market. "Sweet Upright" produces fine large 
fruits of nearly square or blocky form, with exceptionally thick flesh of the verv mildest anil sweetest flavor. 
The plants are of sturdy erect growth. The fruits are borne stiffly erect, and form at each fork of the branches; 
they are very broad, divided into four lobes, and when fully ripened are deeply indented at the blossom end. An 
average pepper measures three inches in length, two and three-quarter inches at the stem end and two inches across 
the blossom end, with a weight of seven ounces. 
The color when ripe is rich glowing- scarlet both in the thin tender skin and in the unusually thick sweet flesh. 
The thick flesh is as crisp, mild, and sweet as a fine apple. It is as early as the Sweet Bell or Bull-Nose, with heavier 
fruit, much thicker flesh and greatly superior in flavor. Pkt. 10c; cz. 45c; % lb. $1.25; lb. $4.50.
