Squash, Faxon (or the Squash of many colors). The fixed characteristic are 
earliness, long keeping, uniformity of shape, variety of colors, and the excelling in 
richness, sweetness and flavor. Even when not fully ripe it is of excellent quality as 
a summer Squash. It is a good keeper, and has the exceptional recommendation of 
being a table delicacy through three seasons — summer, fall and winter. For sweet- 
ness and dryness it cannot be excelled. Price 5 (Sts. ; oz. , 10 (Sts. ; lb., 75 (Sts. 
Squash, Dutilaf's Early Prolific Marrow. The standard early of the running 
varieties. No variety can compete with it for earliness, it being about twelve days 
ahead of the “Boston Marrow,” and for this reason can be planted a week later than 
any other kind. Its color is most attractive, a brilliant orange-red. Qyiality excel- 
lent when mature. A good keeper. Price 5 (Sts. ; oz., 10 (Sts. ; lb., 65 (Sts.

Qualit3' the best. Price 5 (Sts. ; oz., 10 (Sts. 
Tomato, Early Bird (new). Extremely early, and said to be superior to any of 
the first early class and a great yielder. Its great earliness, fine size, smoothness, 
firmness, beautiful bright skin and wonderful productiveness are far beyond what the 
most enthusiastic growers ever expected to realize. Price 5 (Sts. 
Tomato, Fancy. A compact, bushy form ; foliage dark green, heavily blistered 
or crimped, as in a fine Savoy Cabbage. The fruits are of medium size, very smooth, 
and regular both in size and form, solid and free from cracks, quite fleshy, with few 
seeds, and of sweet flavor. When ripened under the warm sun they are a rich pur- 
plish-red. It is characteristic of the variety to produce fruit rather than vines. It 
does not send out laterals readily, but seems to put all efforts toward perfecting and 
ripening the fruit. Price 5 (Sts. ; oz., 35 (fts. 
Tomato, The Aristocrat. An excellent new sort, resembling in habit of growth 
and foliage the “ Dwarf Champion,” but the color of the fruit is a fine rich glossy 
red, solid and smooth, and in size from medium to large. Price 5 (fts., oz., 25 (fts. 
Tomato, Dwarf Champion. One of the most valuable sorts. It is entirely dis- 
tinct in habit of growth and foliage from any other sort. It is dwarf and compact in 
habit, the plant growing stiff and upright, with very thick and short-jointed stems. 
In tests with leading varieties it has proven itself remarkably early. Always smooth 
and attractive in appearance; flesh solid and ripens well. Price 5 (fts. ; oz., 25 (fts. 
Tomato, Yellow Plum. Small yellow variety ; very early. Price S 6ls.
