isi-oduetlveness. B'or market purposes it 
surpasses all other kinds and once planted 
is never discarded. Our Market Gardener 
is a variety that is unusual for size and 
solidity of head, and shows but little tendency to run to seed. We have had plants 
time and again of this variety, eighteen inches in diameter, which weighed nearly 
four pounds, with heads almost as solid as an early summer cabbage, which in gen- 
eral form it somewhat resembles. This variety hianehes Itself naturally, is crisp, 
tender and of excellent flavor, and alnayii free from bittemes.s. The outside color 
may be described as a clear, deep apple green, while on the inside the color Is a 
yellowish white. Pkt. 10c, ox. 15c, % 30c, lb. *1.00.

equal Safeguard. It is not so productive as our Ice King, but on account of Its carli- 
ness is a much better variety for gardeners who grow for the early markets. In 
addition to its carliness and yield, the tough skin enables It to withstand almo.st any, 
amount of rough handling. Our illustration is a correct representation of this 
splendid melon and shows tile depth of tlie skin, which is not thick but exwediuKly 
tonsil. 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 anv other 
sort. Yon will make n mistake If you do not give It a place in your garden this year

free from any tendency to "neck." The vines are of strong 
vigorous growth and fruit freely, four or five fine large melons 
being frequently seen clustered together. Fruits ripen quite 
early. Skin dark glossy green, flesh beautiful crimson. Lovers

i^Io-nt Trpf> Tnmatn wonderful variety was intro- 
\Tla.Ill lice XUmctlU. dueed by us several years aK€> and 
iuiiiiediately sprang into great favor wherever grown. It is 
/not an untried novelty, but has stood the test of several years 
■'and once planted is never discarded. It is the tomato for the 
ipilliotts; and every owner of a garden, no matter how small, 
^hould not fail to grow this wonderful tomato. It grows from 
10 to 15 feet in height and If planted early will begin to ripcTi 
' by Jul}' 4th and bears its heavy loads of luscious fruit until 
killed by frost. The fl^^sll is firm and solid, almost seedless, 
fine grained clear through and of the most delicious flavor ever 
found in .a tomato. It Is tlie largest tomato we have ever seen; 
the fruit weighs from 1(1 to 24 oun<>es and specimens have been 
grown weigliing 3 pounds. One well developed plant will pro- 
duce enough fruit for .a small family the entire season. The 
originator spent 20 years in experimenting ^'Ith this fruit be- 
fore success crowned his efforts. Owing to its almost seedless 
nature it has never been cultivated by seed growers and seed 
is scarce and alw.ays will be. A dozen well grown plants, how- 
ever, vi'ill produce as much fruit or more than 100 plants of the 
common sort, so that large quantities of the seed will never 
be required for single gardens. It stands without a peer in the 
tomato famil.v and challenges the world to produce its equal. 
CULTURAL DIRECTIONS iSow seed very early in spring 
In frames or in boxes in the house. When plants are about 2 
inches high transplant to open ground in a deep, rich, well 
manured soil 2 feet or more apart. Water Immediately and 
continuously throughout the season. Plant in a warm position, 
where they will get all the sun possible. After they attain a 
height of, five feet cut off the tops so that the strength of 
growth will go to fruit instead of vines. Train and tie the 
vines to a stout trellis. Pkt. 20c, 3 pkts. 50c.
