Celery, Golden Self-Blanching 
CLARK'S SELECTED STOCK 
This is the best Celery for early use. This variety is now 
the leading sort in all markets as an early Celery. It is ready 
for use early, producing dwarf bunches of broad, heavy 
stalks, blanching to a deep golden yellow. The handsome 
color, crispness, tenderness, freedom from stringiness and 
nutty flavor of this variety make it only necessary to be tried 
in order to establish it as the standard of excellence as an 
early sort. Pkt. 15 cts., oz. #1, J 4 \b. $3. 
Davis' Perfect Cucumber 
A new variety, which has taken the place of the best 
strains of White Spine Cucumber. Mr. Davis, the intro¬ 
ducer, states that he experimented several years in trying to 
get an improved strain of Cucumber for forcing under glass 
and outside culture. The Cucumbers grow long and slim, 
sometimes measure 12 inches in length ; the color is a rich, 
dark, glossy green, which they hold until nearly ripe. Oz. 
15 cts., %\b. 40 cts., lb. $i.2$. 
Klondike Cucumber 
The color is rich dark green, and the fruits grow to a uni¬ 
form size, measuring about 7 inches in length and 2 inches 
thick when in good condition for use. It matures early and 
continues bearing for a long time, and produces a good crop 
even in a poor season, when many other varieties fail on ac¬ 
count of unseasonable weather. Pkt. 10 cts., %\b. 30 cts., lb. $1. 
Improved Hybrid Cucumber 
An exceptionally fine strain of Improved White Spine. The 
seed has been saved from selected specimens averaging 10 
inches in length. It matures very early, and is a heavy yielder, 
while its bright green color makes it very attractive. The seed- 
space is small, with comparatively few seeds ; vines are of vig¬ 
orous growth. Many market-gardeners are using it exclusively 
for outdoor use. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., JE^lb. 60 cts., lb. $2. 
New Swiss Chard, or Spinach Beet, 
** Giant Lucullus'' 
The Swiss Chard is growing more popular as a vegetable 
each season. This new variety is a great acquisition. The 
stalks are as thick and broad as rhubarb. The plants grow to a 
height of from 2 to 2% feet, and the stalks are from 10 to 12 
inches long below the leaf. These stalks are delicious when 
cooked, and should be served in the same manner as stewed 
celery and asparagus. The leaf portion of the “Giant Lucul¬ 
lus” is heavily crumpled or savoyed and is very crisp and ten¬ 
der. The leafy portion of the foliage is cooked and served in 
BASKET OF DAV1S ; PERFECT CUCUMBERS 
the same manner as spinach. The leaves and stalks, being 
served as separate vegetables, afford two distinct dishes from 
the same plant at one time. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 15 cts., %\b. 40 
cts., lb. $1.25. 
Early Mayflower Sweet Corn 
This splendid new extra-early Sweet Corn is fully a week 
earlier than Early White Cory. The stalks grow about 5 feet 
in height and produce rarely less than two, and often three, 
well-developed ears, from 7 to 9 inches in length, ten and 
twelve rows. It is a difficult matter to combine earliness with 
good flavor and sweetness, but in this very valuable character¬ 
istic it outclasses all Sweet Corn to date. Pkt. 10 cts., qt. 50 
cts., f^pk. $1.50. 
New Tenderheart Lettuce 
A new, large, early head Lettuce. The large, round heads are 
compactly formed of waxy cream-colored heart leaves of splen¬ 
did substance and of extra-fine quality, tender, crisp and sweet; 
attractive and appetizing when served. Tenderheart Lettuce 
stands the early summer heat splendidly. Color pale green. 
Oz. 20 cts., %\b. 50 cts., lb. $1.75. 
Clark's Irondequoit Muskmelon 
The flesh is a beautiful dark orange, very thick, firm, deli¬ 
ciously flavored and of most superior quality ; the skin is well 
netted, yellowish green when ripe, giving it a highly attractive 
appearance. The rind is thin 
yet very firm so that melons 
arrive in perfect condition in 
distant markets. Vine vigor¬ 
ous, remarkably blight-resisting 
and very productive. This is 
one of the best yellow-fleshed 
sorts which has long been so 
popular and we take much pride 
in maintaining our strain in the 
highest state of excellence and 
purity, and we believe we are 
safe in saying that no melon 
comes to the Buffalo markets 
which sells so readily or at such 
high prices as Clark’s Ironde¬ 
quoit. Oz. 35c.,Xlb. $i,!b. $3.50.
