Qaf Acriiarrl Tne earliest large variety ever introduced. With- 
OcU.cgUd.lU. out d ou |,t the best melon for early marketing. For 
yield and earliness combined, no variety we have ever grown can equal 
Safeguard. It is not so productive as our Ice King, but on account of 
its earliness is a much better variety for gardeners who grow for the early 
markets. In addition to its earliness and yield, the tough skin enables it 
to withstand almost any amount of rough handling. The flesh is a rich 
pink, crisp, tender and very sweet. For home use it is a most desirable 
variety, as it will furnish melons earlier in the season than any other sort. 
You will make a mistake if you do not give it a place in your garden this 
year. Pkt., 10c; oz. t 15c ; % lb., 30c; lb., $1.00.

cess, and is far more productive than the English and French Spawn. By 
a scientific selection of large mushrooms for propagating purposes a new 
type has been developed possessing the following points of merit: The 
mushrooms arc much larger; their skin is tougher; their flavor is finer; 
they arc more productive and come to maturity earlier. The spawn usually 
sold has been prepared for months, much of its vitality being spent before 
it is planted. This spawn, however, is fresh made in this city and is sent 
out under our guarantee to grow if cultural instructions are followed. Our 
leaflet on Mushroom Cutlure will be mailed free on request. This spawn 
comefl in bricks weighing 18 to 20 ounces each. Price per brick, 25c; 5 
bricks, $1.10; 10 bricks, $1.75, by express or freight. If wanted by mail 
add 20c per brick to cover postage. Prices on larger lots quoted o.i ap-
