OKRA.

ten inches long when mature, very slim and of inteuselj' green color. The best of all green 
sorts. Canned for Winter use in large quantities. IiO other sort can compare with this. 
See priced-list in back of this catalogue. 
PEAS. 
Phono grrapli Pea i^Novelty). — A new very productive variety, producing strong vine.s 
about 4 feet long. Color of foliage and pods a yellowish green. Vines in appearance very 
much like Telephone. Pods very showy, straight, large, distended, sometimes saddle-backed 
or depressed at the back on account of the pwollen-out sides. Pods containing 6 to 9 peas of 
very unusual sweetness — most delicious. Dry seeds, white, large and nearly round. General 
character when in edible condition much resembling Telephone. Maturing for table in about 
65 days from germination, shortly after Elverbearing or Abundance, same time as Telephone, 
two weeks earlier than Marrowfat. It cannot be too highly prized both as a family sort and 
as a particularly productive variety for the market gardener. The Phonograph will partially 
take the place of the 
Telephone and Long 
Island Marrow, both 
very scarce this year.

SPINACH. 
_ Bloomsdale Spinach ('Registeved).—Earl7t;st cuUitig of any sort. This is a form of 
Spinach superior to other sorts because of its leaves being curled, twisted and bloated to an 
unusual degree, this curled quality giving the leaves an elasticity especially fitting them for 
shipment to long distances, while at the same time giving the crop large measuring qualities, 
many more barrels of the Bloom.sdale Spinach being cut to the acre than any other variety, 
and thus adding an increased profit to the shipper. It is especially recommended for Autumn 
sowing, as when sown in Springtime it shoots to seed earlier than any other sort of Spinach. 
The Bloom.sdale Spinach is put np in blue mu.slin bags, of five, ten. twentv, thirty and 
forty pounds, fa.stened with copper wire and lead-sealed with our " Bell " trade mark to dis- 
tinguish it from imitation and spurious stock. No charge for bags and sealing. We can sell 
at a lower price same seed as is sold by .some seed merchants as Bloomsdale, which cheaper 
seed is grown in Europe and is always of uncertain age and vitality, to say nothing of uncer- 
tain quality. On good soil sixty barrels of Bloomsdale Spinach should be cut to the acre. 
We have records of 125 and 150 barrels to the acre. See priced-list in back of this catalogue.
