Carden Lemon— This new vegetable is a great boon to all 
those sections of the country where fruit is scarce, as its 
fruits make delicious preserves, sauce, etc., and are more 
easily prepared. This is something like the Vine Peach, 
but needs no lemon in putting up, as it is much more acid. 
Cultivate like the MusKmelon. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 25c.; lb.$1.40. 
VI ne Peach —This sort has fruits the size of a large peach, 
and of a bright orange color. Flesh firm, and when 
cooked with lemon to give it a slight acidity, makes fine 
pies, sauce, sweet pickles or preserves. Easily grown, 
and a good keeper. Stored in a cool dry place they keep 
fresh and good for several months. Pkt., 5c.; oz., *15c.

time in a cool dry room. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 25c.

transplant as for Cabbage. For spring use they may be 
sown as late as September. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; lb., 85c.
