SPECIAL LIST OF VEGETABLE SEEDS. 
MUSKMELON. IMPROVED HACKENSACK. 
We introduced this variety in its Improved form to the Market Gardeners of this vicinity 
in t88t, and on trial it was pronounced an exceedingly fine Melon in every respect. It is of 
good size, round, flattened at the ends, skin green, and roughly netted; flesh green, sweet, 
rich, and delicious. A splendid variety either for Marketing or for Family use. 
Per Packet, 5 cts. | Per Ounce, 15 ets. | Per Pound, $1.50. 
MELON. SURPRISE. 
A very excellent variety, recently introduced. It has a thin, cream-colored skin, thickly 
netted; the flesh is of a deep salmon color, very thick, and of exquisite flavor. It is also a 
good bearer; is round in shape, and of good size. 
Per Packet, 5 cts. | Per Ounce, 15 ets. | Per Pound, $1.00. 
MELON. BAY VIEW. 
A very large, oval-shaped, fine flavored Melon ; a strong and vigorous grower, and remark- 
ably productive. With ordinary cultivation the fruits will weigh ten to fifteen pounds each ; 
if extra care is given, they easily reach twenty pounds. The flesh is light green, very thick, 
luscious, and sweet. , 
Per Packet, 5 cents. | Per Ounce, 15 cents. 
ONION. DANVERS THICK YELLOW. 
Also known as “Round,” 
“Globe,” “Pedigree,” in 
some localities. This fine 
Onion has been for many 
years the favorite, and is 
now almost the only sort 
grown for the Boston mar- 
ket. The true Buxton type 
is large in size, an early 
and abundant cropper, very 
thick bulk, flat or slightly 
convex bottom, full, oval 
top, with small neck, and 
rich, brownish-yellow skin. 
Seed from this type is more 
sure to bottom well than 
when grown from Onions 
having too much depth of 
of bulb, or globe-shaped. 
These tend to stray into 
thick necks, or scullions. We ask attention to the seed we offer, which was grown from as 
fine and perfect a selection of the variety as we ever saw, and we unhesitatingly recommend 
it as superior in quality and occupying no second place to any of the variety to be obtained 
anywhere. 
Per Packet, 5 cts. | Per Ounce, 10 cts. | Per Pound, $1.25. 
In lots of five or more pounds, $1.00 per pound.
