NBW JAPANESE OPEN GBOUND MELON. 
Melon, The EarFs Favourite — Awarded a First-class Certificate 
R.H.S A new green-fleshed variety of the most delicious flavour. It is a strong 
grower and a free setter, and may be pronounced canker-resisting. It does quite as 
well in cool frames as in the houses. Per pkt., 2s. 6</. 
Onion, Challeng'e — This new addition to the Onion class is described as < 
without doubt quite distinct from any variety yet introduced, being globular in shape, c 
of a bright red skin, with a very white flesh, and of excellent flavour. Per pkt., 2s. Gd. ; 
Poa, Earliest Wrinkled — side by side with the earliest white and 
earliest blue round, this proved to equal them in quickness of maturity. In early . 
climates, and also where the weather is vigorous, this Pea must prove a great J 
acquisition, combining the hardiness, and earliness of the first earliest with the flavour I 
and sweetness of the wrinkled kinds. Per pkt., 2s. 
Pea, Potentate — a wonder as regards cropping, and bears handsome j 
square ended pods in pairs, containing large peas of an exquisite sugary flavour ; l 
main crop. 5 ft. high. In sealed ppint pkts., 2s. 6d. i 
Pea, Michaelmas — Absolutely distinct, of dwarf bushy habit, 2| ft. high, very prolific; its colour in pod is of the deepest green, and its 
pods are large and well filled ; this variety possesses a reserve of strength which will enable it to resist the drought and the mildew to a degree hitherto 
unknown in a Pea, and to preserve the sweetest flavour in the Peas for table after the varieties have become hardened, dry, and mealy. Per pint pkt., 2s. 
Pea, Moerheim’s Giant Sugar — a valuable new variety of Sugar Pea, very large thick-fleshed edible pods, and for savouriness this is 
superior to all others. Per pkt.. Is. 6d. 
Pea, Rex— Large showy deep green, square-ended, well-filled handsome pods in pairs ; of Ne Plus Ultra type and flavour ; a wrinkled main crop 
Marrow of the finest quality ; a tremendous cropper, and a great ac(iuisition. ft. high. In sealed ^-pint pkts., 2s. Gd 
Spinach, Improved Victoria — a distinct advance upon the best Round Spinach-, it stands longer, and of a deeper colour ; an additional 
feature in this selection is that it can be sown for Winter use as well as Summer. Per pkt., 6a. and l.s.

solid. Per pkt.. Is. 
NEW POTATOES (Cannells’). 
Eynsford Mammoth (Cannell) — After another season’s trial we have no reason to depart from what we stated of this variety last year. ] 
It has three most essential and important points for a variety to become a general favourite, viz., (1st) dwarf haulm, (2nd) a tremendous cropper, and (3rd) * 
good cooking and table qualities; early, white. Kidney-shaped. Per 14 lbs., 3s. Gd . ; 56 lbs., 12s. , 
Field Marshal (Cannell) — The brightest red-coloured variety in cultivation; a grand acquisition for c.xhibition purposes, very attractive 
and distinct, long Kidney-shape. Is. per lb. ; Gs. per peck. ^ 
The National (Cannell) — From the many good accounts we have received from various parts of the country respecting the good qualities 
of this splendid variety, and being ourselves more convinced than ever, after another season’s severe testing, of its superiority, Ave have decided to 
re-name Our Boy to that of The National, feeling sure it will be found a variety of perfect form, very shallow eyes, of medium size, a heavy cropper, 
and decidedly disease-resisting. Its cooking qualities are all that can be desired and good for a main crop. We are of the opinion that it has no ( 
equal, and has a great future before it — good iu all points that constitute it a potato the nation requires. Gd. per lb. ; 4s. per peck. Special price for I 
larger quantity.
