SQUASH. PERFECT GEM. 
An excellent variety, equally desirable cither as a summer or winter variety. As long 
keepers, we have kept them a year in fine condition. The vine is a strong grower, and has

four to six inches in diameter, creamy white in color, and dry, sweet and rich flavored when 
cooked.

this variety a special value, particularly to Market Gardeners.

TOMATO. EARLY ALPHA. 
Probably the earliest variety in cultivation ; fruit of bright red color, generally smooth, 
sometimes slightly ribbed; ripens well, seldom cracks; solid, fine flavored, and produces 
abundantly. 
Per Packet, 16 cents. 
TOMATO. ESSEX HYBRID. 
It is claimed by the introducer of this variety, and seems to be sustained by tests, that this 
is the handsomest shaped and most profitable Tomato for the market in cultivation, and will 
bear more marketable fruit than any other variety. It is very early, solid, rich-flavored, large 
in size, grows perfectly smooth, of a bright pink color, and is extremely productive. It 
possessesjnore of the important qualities of a perfect Tomato than any other known sort. 
It ripens all over alike, leaving no green spots around the stem, so objectionable in some other 
varieties. It is fine for growing under glass, the fruits being uniformly of the best quality.

TOMATO. “MAYFLOWER.” 
This new variety, introduced from Vermont, is recommended as the earliest large Tomato 
cultivated, ripening but a few days later than the very early variety, “ Little Gem,*’ and aver- 
aging in size about one third larger than “Acme.” It is of a glossy, bright red color, so 
desirable in a market Tomato, and ripens as evenly and perfectly up to the stem that it pre- 
sents a most beautiful appearance. Its shape is perfect, globular, slightly flattened, and per- 
fectly smooth; flesh solid, unusually free from seeds, and of rich, excellent flavor. In 
productiveness it is not excelled by any other sort, and is an excellent shipper, bearing a large 
amount of handling without injury. 
Per Packet, 25 cents. 
TOMATO. LIVINGSTON’S PERFECTION. 
This variety is described by its originator a.s the largest early sort known, of blood-red 
color, perfectly smooth, with few seeds, ripens all over and through at the same time, a good 
shipi)cr, and for canning purposes is not excelled by any other. It is larger than Acme, and 
earlier than Acme or Paragon. 
Per Packet, 15 cts. I Per Ounce, 50 cts.
