outer stalks yellowish-white, ribs perfectly solid, crisp, 
well-flavored and excellent keeper; very fine new celery, 
highly recommended. Price, oz. 25c., lb. $3 00. 
SERPENT OR SNAKE CUCUMBER. 
A remarkable and very interesting curiosity. The Cu- 
cumbers grow curled up like a snake with the head pro- 
truding, and sometimes are six feet in length. The illus- 
tration will represent their shape, and although they at- 
tain great size, the quality is only fair; grown more as a 
curiosity than any thing else, and to exhibit at fairs. Can 
also be used for picking. Per pkt., 10c., postpaid. 
SIBERIAN CUCUMBER. 
Absolutely the earliest encumber known. It is also a 
•plendid free bearing variety, and for early forcing pur- 
poses or for slicing it is the most valuable addition ever 
made to our list of encumber. Always grows straight and 
smooth flesh, extraordinary tender and crisp. Prioe, pkt., 
10c. 02 . 80c.; lb. $3 00. 
o 
NICHOL’S MEDIUM GREEN. 
We consider this variety the most valuable sort that 
has been introduced since the advent of the Green Pro- 
lific variety. As a pickle sort, NichoVs Medium Green 
will be found unequalled, and for early forcing purposes 
or for sficlng, there is no better variety. It is exceeding- 
ly productive, of medium size, and always straight and 
smooth. The color is dark green, the flesh tender and 
crisp. {See Cut.) Oz. 10c. $1.00 lb 
St. Tallery or Intermediate Carrot. 
This we consider 
one of the best va- 
rieties grown. The 
size is about 12 inches 
long and H inches in 
diameter. The color 
is a beautiful rich 
orange red. The roots 
grow very smooth and 
the flesh fine and 
even. The shape is 
between the Long 
Orange and the half 
long varieties. In 
light soil they grow 
especially fine. Pries 
oz. lOo. lb. $1 00. 
o 
THE OSAGE MUSK MELON. 
No variety of Uusk Melon, so far as we are aware, haa 
advanced in popnlariety and become at once so widely 
known as this variety, “Skin dark green, slightly netted 
on the lobes on the upper side, and on the best speci- 
mens a rich orange color where the melon lies on the 
ground, and on this side it is eatable within an eighth of 
an inuh of the surface. The shape is pointed oval — egg 
shape most exaotly expresses it. Medium sizod,'aud tht 
whole crop is very even and extra heavy owing to tha 
thickness of the meat.” Pkt., 10c. ; 1 oz. 2Sc. ; 1 lb. $2 00.
