SEEDS OF SPECIAL MERIT. 
MILLER CREAM MLSK MELON. 
This splendid melon was 
thoroughly tested the past 
season by many of our bc.st 
market gardeners and mel- 
on growers, and is pro- 
nounced by all, one of the 
very best they have ever 
grown. The flesh is of a 
rich salmon color, very 
sweet and melting in qual- 
ity, and is so very thick 
that the melon is almost solid, the seed cavity being 
remarkably small. 
The rind is thin, slightly sutured, but little netted. 
This vine is a strong grower and very productive, 
covering the ground with fruit. It is extiemely sweet, 
rich and delicious and very distinct from any other. sSeed 
is very scarce. Per oz. 15c. lb., $1 25. 
Fiorida Favorite Watermelon. Finest table melon 
extant; oblong in shape, growing to very large size; rind 
dark, with light-green stripes; flesh light-crimson, very 
crisp and deliciously sweet; seed rather small and of light 
creamy-white color. Kipened the past season 10 days 
earlier than the Kolb Gem, Iron Clad, or Rattlesnake. 
We offer seed grown by originator. Pkt. 5c., oz. 10c., lb. 
$1 00 .

Emerald Gem Musk Melon. The Emerald Gem 
Helen is certainly the most distinct and at the same time 
the most deliciously flavored Melon we ever came across. 
It is a very early and prolific variety, with a skin which, 
while it is ribbed, is perfectly smooth and of a deep 
emerald green color. The flesh, which is thicker than 
in most other melons, is of a suffused salmon color, ex- 
ceedingly sweet and delicious; in fact, the variety is thick 
meated that it yields but little seed. Those seeking a 
Musk Melon for quality alone will find all they are look- 
ing for in the Emerald Gem. Price, 10c. pkt„ oz. 15c. 
lb., $1 25. 
We are 
season for tht 
time our new . 
tion Lettuce, at 
feel certain th 
variety ever 
duced will give 
satisfaction. Th 
tuce originated 
of the large vegetable gardens near this city. Being in 
the shipping business the shipment of winter 
and spring vegetables is a specialty with us. We 
therefore, have ample opportunity to test the merit of all 
vegetables, and it is a matter of vast importance to us to 
secure the best. This new lettuce was the largest, finest 
and best fiavored we have ever seen, measuring 13 inches 
in diameter, of which 8 inches was solid head. We se- 
cured a small quantity of the seed from our market 
gardener, and have propagated and improved the strain 
ourselves, and out of numerous standard varieties in onr 
Test Gardens last season, it proved itself perfection-, 
eclipsing all other kinds for large size, solid crisp heads 
and delicate flavor. Our supply of seed is quite limited 
this season, and as we wish all of our customers to try it, 
we will in no case sell to any one party more than ttao 
ounces. Price der pkt. 25c., per oz. $1 00, two oz. 75.
