CUCUMBER— LKTTUC13— CORN, ETC. 
CUCUMBER-Landreths' Choice.-This stands alone in shape of fruit and fomi of 
foliage; that it is a distinct type will at once be recognized by every one who observes 
We obtained it from Japan, and we believe it should be found in every 
its foliage, 
garden. 
CUOUMBEB - Landre^hs' 
"First.— Very long, slim. 
K.vRLY Blood Red Beet. 
showy, and of a rich deep 
green, and above all the first 
to reach slicing condition. It 
is astonishingly early, none 
other of equal size comparing 
with it in quick development. 
LETTUCE— Largest of AIL- 
A mammoth heading sort ; 
leaves as big as dinner plates, 
very thin and tender. It is 
intermediate in period of ma- 
turity. 
CORW — Landreth Sugar.— .4 
narrow, long, slim grained sort 
of twelve rows, and as a con- 
.sequence of thick covering of 
the cob, a sort slow to dry 
or pass beyond edible condi- 
tion. Very sugary and tender, 
exceedingly productive of good 
.sized ears; each stalk produces 
three and sometimes four ears. 
CO RW— Early Burlington 
Hybrid.— A cro-ss-bred sort, 
having the united qualities of 
Early Burlington and Stowell's 
Evergreen Sugar. The earli- 
both in the Phila- 
est corn 
delphia and New York markets from the Burlington County truck farms of New Jersey. 
A very showy ear when in the market basket, and by far the largest of any then in sight. 
WATERMELON— Landreths' Boss.-Onlv approached in quality by the Arkan.sns 
Traveler. The Boss is not a monster 
in size, for it is only of medium 
development, and that is even to its 
credit, but still more to its stnkingly 
brilliant scai'let flesh, solid to the very 
centre, yet without a semblance of 
fibre, melting in the mouth like so 
much ice cream. 
"W ATERMELON-Landreths' Long 
Light Icing.—The best of all the 
white-seeded melons ; shape long, like 
a Georgia ; skin a very light white 
green covered with a dark tracerj'. 
Flesh bright pink scarlet, and crystal- 
ine without any stringy or spongy quali- 
ties whatever. It is superior to the 
Seminole, the Gray Monarch and 
others, which it preceded by ten years, 
and which it exceeds in merit. 
CANTALOU PE— Atlantic City.- 
This sort is x^ointed at both ends, and 
might be compared to a large Acme. 
It is well netted, and in flesh is thick, 
juicy and of superior flavor; altogether 
it is a .showy sort. ' ' 
CANTALOUPE— Extra Early Cape 
May — -\ roundish melon, flattish at 
stem and blossom ends. Ribs very distinct, and with netting covering the entire fruit; 
flesh green, thick and of best flavor; a productive and vfery early sort, produced on vines 
of small foliage. 
CANTALOUPE— Reedland Giant.— This is a mammoth, often growing as big as a 
watermelon, 20 and 25 pounds being quite common, some fruits having reached a weight 
of 30 pounds, and yet it is of such excellent flavor as to be excelled by few. 
CANT ALOUPE— Osage.— Similar to Miller's Cream, and loo well known to need 
de.scription. 
OKR A— Landreths' Long Green Pod.— No other Okra is worth cultivation when this 
can be obtained. It is prolific and produces pods long, slim, intensely green in color 
which color they retain during shipment to market. 
PARSNIP- Bloomsdale.— This variety originated on Bloonisdale Farm by critical 
selection. It is shorter in root and thicker across the shoulder than the Cup or 
I,ONO Blood Bekt.
