Kolb’s Gem, or American Champion. 
1 his melon comes from one of the most successful growers in the South ; he sought to 
unite good quality and large size in a melon that would bear shipping great distances , and has 
most successfully combined these three desirable qualities. 
It resembles the Cuban Queen in general appearance, but the colors are brighter, and it is 
more distinctly ovoid in shape. The flesh is bright red, firm, coarse grained, but exceedingly sweet 
and juicy. The rind is thin, but very hard and firm, forming a distinct shell which protects 
the melon during shipment, and also gives it remarkable keeping qualities. 
Per packet, 5 cents; oz., 20 cents; 2oz.,35 cents; % lb., 60 cents; lb., $2.00.

Round White Silverskin Onion. 
Round 'White Silverskin 
for Pickling. 
This Onion differs materially from the New Queen. It 
is a trifle later, the bulbs are more globular, and slight¬ 
ly larger. The principal point of difference between 
the two is the character of the outside sections. In the 
Round White Silverskin they are of an opaque white 
color, and do not turn green upon exposure to the light, 
as do the thin, tender, semi-transparent outer sections of 
the New Queen. They are also thick, compact, hard 
and firm, making it the very best of keepers, and at 
the same time they are very crisp and brittle. We con¬ 
sider this variety by far THE BEST EVER INTRODUCED for 
pickling. A number of large dealers to whom we sent 
samples last season have spoken of in the highest 
terms of praise. 
Per packet, 5 cents; oz., 30 cents; 2 oz., 55 cents; 
lb., $1.00; lb., $3.00.

First and Best. Habit, very dwarf and vigorous; pods long and well filled ; peas exceedingly 
sweet, tender and well flavored.

Bliss’ Everbearing. 
The ? ccom P an y in g illustration was taken from a photograph of an ordinary plant on our 
fields, and shows the distinctive character of the variety very clearly. In order to develop the 
everbearing quality to the best advantage, the seed should be sown singly, or very sparsely in the 
drill, and in very rick soil; it will then throw up several stalks, each bearing from six to ten pods* 
remove these as they mature, keeping the ground well cultivated, and the plant will throw out 
short, pod-bearing branches from the axils of the leaves, and will continue to develop these 
tranches until it has produced an incredible number of pods. The peas are wrinkled large 
and of delicious flavor. » & »
