NOVELTIES AND VARIETIES OF SPECIAL MERIT. 
'T'pflith Cflhh/10*e This * s a new re ^ variety of German origin, introduced this season. The color is a fine, deep, pur- 
•wiiiM* vouua^ti plish red, entirely distinct, and most beautiful. The head is of medium size, and very solid, with but 
few outer leaves. It is very crisp, tender, mild flavored, and most excellent for cooking. It is a second early variety and is 
-especially valuable for market gardeners, as it grows quickly; more plants can be grown to an acre than of other varie- 
ties. Pkt. 10c, y 2 oz. 40c, oz. 75c. 
CflhhflO"e Oflfflen OlofV Tftis is another novelty of great promise, introduced for the first time this season. It is 
vauuagt, uoi u«u uiui j • an extra early, large, solid white variety. It forms large, round, ball-shaped heads, 
which are ready for the market about the same time as Early Flat Dutch. The heads are pale green, very solid, making it 
particularly attractive for market purposes. It has but very few outer leaves, which allows it being planted closer together 
than most varieties. Pkt. 10c, y 2 oz. 40c, oz. 75c. 
iRgnn ICPSTflirlcV WYiniipfi" Way Tn e Greatest Wax Pole Bean Ever Introduced. The merits of the old Ken- 
* J ^ c " a » *^-^'**i'M^' IV J' wituci tt a.A» tucky Wonder pole bean are well known. We now introduce a variety haying 
all its superb qualities except that it is of a beautiful transparent yellow color. 
It commences to bear when scarcely higher than the average bush variety and 
keeps on producing until killed by frost. It is a rampant grower, one plant filling 
.a pole with a mass of vines densely loaded with luscious beans almost a solid mass 
•of pods from bottom to top. The pods are so fleshy that they 'are frequently greater 
In width than breadth. They are solidly meaty, entirely stringless and when cooked 
deliciously rich and buttery. The seed is brown, closely resembling that of the 
Kentucky Wonder. Pkt. 10c, pt. 30c, qt. 55e, pk. $3.00. 
earliest ripening variety in existence. Ten 
ays ahead of Extra Early Adams. It produces 
stout stalks about five feet high, each bearing two and sometimes three well 
developed ears, which are fit for the table fully a week to ten days ahead of any 
taown sort. The ears are 8 to 10 rowed and 1 to 2 inches longer than Cory or 
Adams. The kernels are large, plump, tender and of sweetest quality. Pkt. 10c, pt.

Sweet Corn, Early Premo.

Oats, Scottish Chief. 
FARMERS' SURE CROP COLLECTION. < See ^ 0 8 **° 
This fine variety has been grown in the High- 
lands of Scotland, for many years, where yields 
of 150 bushels per acre are not uncommon. The berry is of largest size, full and 
plump, pure white and very heavy. It withstands drought remarkably well, and 
seems to be well fitted for all soils, seasons and conditions. Measured bushels of 
tties^ oats invariably weigh 40 to 42 pounds. lib. 25c, pk. 35c, bu. 81.00, bag (2% bu.) 
Cf\m Ahlir»rfsi«f » Tne m «»* productive, large eared, yellow variety, in ex- 
wui ll,nuuiiuauwc,i $ tence. This novelty is most wonderfully hardy, the roots 
penetrating the soil a great distance, rendering it almost drought proof. The stalks 
grow 7 to 8 ft. high and are well set with ears 3% to 4 ft. from the ground. 
There are usually two ears to the stalk, sometimes three and seldom only one 
The ears are from 10 to 12 inches long, and are well filled to the tip with from 18* 
to 20 rows of very long, rich golden yellow kernels. The cob is very small; 70 
pounds in the ear will invariably make 64 pounds of shelled corn. It matures in 
90 to 95 days from planting. The yield is enormous, 200 bushels of shelledcorn 
per acre was harvested the past season. Lb. 25c, pk. 65c, bu. $2.00, (bag- 2i/ 2 bu.) 84.75.

duetiveness. A splendid new variety, resembling Rural New Yorker No. 2, of which 
it is a seedling. It is decidedly better than its parent, the tubers being quite uni- 
form in size, with but few small ones among them. The color is the same the 
skin and flesh being white. In fact it is the whitest fleshed and finest grained 
potato on the whole list of main crop sorts. L,b. 25c, pk. 35c, bu. SI. 00 bbl. (23/ bu )

WUlUlUUCr, WUIllUCriClllU. It is of the hardy, white spine type, a rapid, strong 
and vigorous grower, the vines being full of fruit in all stages of development from the time the 
the first blos-

til killed by 
frost. The flesh 
is very firm but 
crisp at all 
stages, thus 
rendering it

for slicing as for 
pickling. Pkt.
