SEEDS OF SPECIAL MERIT. 
« 
NEW GOLD COIN SWEET CORN. CELERY. 
Thin is a remarkably 
it and hand- 
variety. Its 
ons produc- 
tivenees is enoup;h 
to place it in advance of any sort now grown; almost 
aiways yielding two, and frequently three, mammoth ears 
to the stalk. It is sweeter, more delicate in flavor, and 
ten days earlier than the 8towell,s Evergreen. The oob 
is snowy white, compactly covered with iarge, deep 
grains. Perhaps its most valnabie characteristics ies in 
the fact that it is evergreen to an unprecedented degree. 
Last season the great bulk of the crop could have been 
gathered at any time during a period of four weeks, aud 
have been found in perfect condition for table use. This 
is a very important quality to market gardeners, i ib.

EDMUND’S BLOOD TURNIP BEET. 
This we recommend above all others, for family or 
market use, as a second early and late variety. Of hand- 
some round shape, skin very deep blood-red; flesh very 
dark, and exceedingly sweet and tender. Grow regularly, 
of good marketable size, not over-large and course as 
many sorts of turnip beets when they have plenty of 
room. They mature early, give the very best satisfaction 
as a bunch beet in the markets. Grow with small top, 
making it very desirable for bunching, and will remain 
sweet and tender longer than any other sort. 
(White Plume.) The stalk and inner portions of the 
leaves and heart arenaturaJXy white, so that by closing the 
staiks, either by tying them together or by pressing the 
soil up against the plant with the hand, and again draw- 
ing up the soil with a hoe or plow, so as to keep the soil 
that has been squeezed against the Celery in place the 
work of blanching is completed. The great advantage of 
this over the slow and troublesome process of blanching 
required by the old sorts is evident. Its eating qualities 
are equal to the very best of the older sorts, being crisp, 
solid and of a pleasing nutty flavor, white its white 
feather-like foliage places it ahead of all others as a table 
ornament. Pkt. 5o. 1 oz. 25c. 1 lb. $3 00.

GIANT PERA CUCUMBER. 
This is one of the largest and best Long Cucumber in 
cultivation. The skin is perfectly free from spines, flesh 
clear, crisp and white. Price, oz. 16c.; lb. $1 25. 
PERRY’S HYBRID. 
Swpet Corn. 
A very fine, new, early variety, fully as 
early as theMinnesota, and ears much larger, 
each containing twelve or fourteen rows of 
kernels, well filled to the end. The grains 
are very large and pure white, but the oob 
is rod. The ears are about the same lengths 
as Crosby’s, but larger round, and are ready 
to market fully a week earlier. The stalks 
grow 5i feet high, and the ears (2 to a stalk) 
are set about 2 feet from the ground, i Jb.
