ONION, New Queen.—A silver-skinned variety, 
of quick growth and remarkable keeping qualities. If 
sown in February, it will produce onions one or two 
inches in diameter early in summer, which will keep 
good until the following summer ; aud if sown in July, 
will be ready to pud late in autumn, and be sound and 
fit for use till the i olio wing autumn. This variety is in 
great request among pickle manufacturers and as our 
seed was grown especially for us in the vicinity ol 
Naples, Italy, it can be depended upon to produce those 
beautiful minature white onions which arc so desirable 
for pickling

PEAS. Ferry’s First and Best.—In this variety 
we think we have what will suit the most critical 
market gardener. We have been experimenting for 
years with a view of obtaining the earliest variety, and 
one that would ripen all its pods wit/tin a very few 
days so that the gardener could clear off the ground 
and plant another crop after having had the full advant¬ 
age of the high price for the first peas coming into mar¬ 
ket. This is the selection of the earliest ripening for 
a senes^Sf 'years and is recommended with the great¬ 
est confidence as being unsurpassed for earliness and 
evenness of ripening, desiraulc qualities for a market 
variety. About forty-five days from planting is the 
average lime for ripening the whole crop.

PEAS, Premium Gem.—A new and valuable va¬ 
riety, growing about fiftew Inches high and as it is 
ready for use in forty-five days from sowing is prob¬ 
ably thr earliest of,the dwarf, green, wrinkled varieties. 
The pods are very long, of a dark, glossy green color; 
vines more robust than Little Gem ; peas of very fine 
quality. The most remarkable characteiLtic is its 
wonderful proliliencss ; as many as twelve pods often 
appearing on a single stem.

RADISH, Early Round Deep Scarlet.—A valu¬ 
able improvement on the ordinary Scarlet Turnip Rad¬ 
ish, and will be found to be very uselul for market 
garden purposes. The color of the skin is very dark 
icd, so much deeper than the common scarlet as to 
attract attention. The flesh is white, crispy, and it 
has a very small top. Last season, in New York mar¬ 
ket, it brought a third more thi j Scarlet Turnip 
It is equally well adapted for growing in frames, green¬ 
house or open ground.

RADISH, Early Scarlet Turnip. White Tipped. 
—A beautiful variety of the same size and shape as the 
Scarlet Turnip, but of a deeper scarlet color with white 
tip. It is early, of excellent flavor, and as it is so de¬ 
sirable for table use from its ornamental appearance it 
has already become veiy popular as a maikct variety.

SQUASH, Essex Hybrid.—A new and excellent 
variety, a cross between the Hubbard and American 
Turban, having the color and shape of the Turban 
with the dryness and hard shell of the Hubbard. It 
is one of the richest flavored, finest grained and sweet¬ 
est of the squash family, as well as one of the best keep¬ 
ers. The flesh is very thick, rich colored and solid with 
only a small cavity for seeds. It is very'productive and 
as it is the earliest of the winter varieties can be planted 
later in the season than other winter sorts.

TOMATO, Essex Early Hybrid. — This new To¬ 
ni: to is early, solid, large, rich flavored and grows per - 
f city smooth. It is of a bright pink color and the 
most dcsiiable shape. It ripens very 
rvenly and as the flesh is very hard 
and solid it makes one of the very best 
kinds for marketing and shipping. It 
is wonderfully productive and a vigor¬ 
ous grower, pioducing more fruit fit for 
market than almost any other sort.

TOMATO, Hundred Day. — As 
an early market variety this certainly 
excels. It is of medium size, rather 
flat, and of a distinct bright scarlet 
color. From its size, shape and color, 
we think it would be selected on the 
market in preference to larger and 
smoother sorts. We were particularly 
pleased with it last season on our own 
grounds.

TOMATO, Early Trophy.—Iden¬ 
tical in form and size with the well- 
known Trophy. A selection of the 
earliest fruits for several seasons lias 
given us a strain of this very desirable 
tomato that has the added quality of 
earl in ess.
