New EARLY HACKENSACK HELON. 
By careful selection and improvement, car- 
ried on for some years, this strain has been so 
developed that it produces melons with ail the 
good qualities of the well-known Hackensack 
melon, but at least ten days earlier. The 
melons weigh from six to ten pounds each, are 
of a nutmeg shape, heavily netted, and have 
light green flesh of delicious flavor. This is 
the third year that we have sold this Extra- 
Early Hackensack melon, and have not had 
a complaint. We grew it largely for seed last 
season, and had opportunities to observe its 
earliness, manner of growth, etc. 5 cts. per 
pkt., 10 cts. per oz., 25 cts. per J^-lb., 90 cts. 
per lb. 
New Early Hackensack Melon. 
HENDERSON’S EARLY SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER. 
Every thing considered, this is certainly the best type of cauliflower in the market. 
The experience of years shows it to be unex- 
celled by any variety for earliness. If planted 
March 1, large-sized heads will be produced 
early in June, about one week earlier than 
other varieties, and scarcely a single head will 
fail to form. The outer leaves are short, so 
that the plants may be set from eighteen to 
twenty inches apart, thus allowing the plant- 
ing of from twelve to fourteen thousand heads 
per acre. Its compact habit of growth rend- 
ers it a peculiarly profitable variety to force 
under glass, and it does equally well, also, 
for late planting. 15cts. per pkt.,$l per J^-oz., 
3$ per lb. 
NEW JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT. 
The Japanese buckwheat is entirely distinct 
from all other varieties; the kernels are at 
least double the size of those of any other va- 
riety, and of a shape peculiar and distinctfrom 
all others. The color of the kernel is also dis- 
tinct, being a rich, dark shade of brown. The 
Henderson's Early Snowball Cauliflower, straw is heavier and branches more. It does 
not need to be sown as thickly as the other 
kinds. The flour made from it is equal in 
quality to that of any other buckwheat. Is 
enormously productive. On account of its 
earliness it can be grown farther north than any 
other. 10 cts. per pkt., 25 cts. per lb. ; by ex- 
press or freight, 15 cts. per qt., 60 cts. per pk., 
*1.75 per bus.
