Garde p Vipe Fruit, 
Garden Lemon— This now 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., 10e.;oz.,25c.;lb.$1.40, 
vine 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. 
G^oUpd Cherry- 
Something like the old Husk Tomato. Easily grown on 
any light soil and very prolific bearers of tender little fruits 
•aeh enclosed in a husk. For pies, sauce, and preserves they 
are much liked, and if left, in the husks will keep a long 
time in a cool dry room. Pkt., 5c.; oz.; 25c. 
Kale, Ovfurf Geripap. 
Kale is very easily grown and much hardier then any 
Cabbage, standing the winters well, if protected by a little 
light litter or straw. The action of frost improves their 
flavor vvonderfully, and they are particularly fine for winter 
and early spring greens. Sow seed in May or June and 
transplant as for Cabbage. For spring use they may be 
•own as late as SeDtember. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 10c.; »>., 85c.

plant, known. Easily grown, either in hot-bed or garden 
and can be sown very early. South of Mason and Dixon,s 
line, can be sown in open ground in fall, and needs only a 
slight protection of straw or loose litter to be perfectly hardy.

forming large heads of a beautiful creamy color. Medium 
early, and stands summer heat remarkably well. This 
is one of the very best summer varieties of'head Lettuce 
we have ever grown. Heads very solid, crisp, and of a 
beautiful and refreshing cream color. In quality it is 
very buttery and rich. Pkt., 10c.; oz.. 20u,; lb., $1.50. 
New Hanson— Our Southern customers say this is the finest 
Lettuce they can grow. Plants large and uniform, per¬ 
fect heads, quality superlatively fine, and stands heat 
extraordinarily well. There is probably no better large 
heading sort than this. Pkt., 5c., oz., 15c„ lb., $1.00.

as a Coleus. Large heads and fine quality; beautiful 
golden yellow. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 30c. 
Keek, New Gi aT >t Italiaq. 
The Leek is a very hardy, easily-grown vegetable, of 
mild, agreeable flavor, and is much used for soups, stews, 
etc., as its flavor is more delicate than that of the Onion. 
This is a new and very large variety, the best for general 
cultivation. Pkt.., 5c.; oz., 25.; lb.. $2.00. 
Kohl Rabi. 
Extra Early Vienna— A curious vegetable, in appearance 
half way between a Turnip and a Cabbage,with a turnip¬ 
like swelling of the stem above ground, which, while 
young and tender, hasadeliciousCauliflower-like flavor, 
very appetizing and pleasant. Very easily grown. Pkt., 
5c.; oz., 20c.; lb., $2.00.

mous size; grows to weigh 20 pounds and is very tender 
and fine. A splendid show variety. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 20c.

The Okra, nr "Gumbo.” is very popular for making soups, 
stews, etc. This new sort is undeniably the best variety 
grown. Its large, thick pods are around and smooth and of 
an ivory-white color. It is a very profuse bearer, and is 
ornamental as well as useful. Pkt., 5c.; oz. 10c.: lb.. 50c.

"Denver 
Denver Market, or Savoy— An early variety of head Let- 
tuoe. either for forcing or open ground. ' Forms large, 
solid heads of a good light green color. The leaves are 
beautifully marked and blistered (like Savoy Cabbage), 
and crisp and tender: of excellent flavor. This is in 
many respects a most unique lettuce, and one which will 
be very popular as soon as known, occupying the same 
place among Lettuces as Savoys do among Cabbages.
