GERMAIN’S DRY WEATHER CAULIFLOWER 
CUCUMBERS 
Klondike. A splendid new variety related to the White 
Spine family, which it excels in shape and shipping qual¬ 
ities, being very early and of a fine dark color. Growers 
who cater to early markets will find this variety exceed¬ 
ingly profitable. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 15 cts., lb. $1.50. 
Improved Arlington White Spine. This is by far the best of 
all the strains of White Spine. The vine is vigorous and 
the fruit, which is large and symmetrical, is borne in pro¬ 
fusion. The color is a rich dark green, fine for forcing or 
field culture, and for earliness and selling qualities it can¬ 
not be surpassed. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., lb. $1.25.

CAULIFLOWER 
Germain’s Dry Weather Cauliflower. Admirably 
^ adapted for the arid regions of California and 
Arizona, in that it resists drought and excessive 
warm weather and matures a crop when other 
varieties fail. The heads are as large as Snow¬ 
ball and almost as early; solid, pure white and 
of excellent quality. Pkt. 25 cts., oz. $3, lb. 
$30.00. 
CARROTS 
Oxheart, or Guerande. This fine and very popular 
carrot is intermediate as to length between the 
half-long varieties (such as Danvers) and the 
Scarlet Horn carrot, but much thicker than the latter, 
being at the top from four to five inches in diameter. 
Flesh bright orange, fine-grained and sweet. It is a 
very fine quality for table use and equally good, for 
stock. Oxheart can be easily pulled, -making it a 
particularly desirable sort for planting in stiff clay 
soils. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., lb. 75 cts 
Early Chantenay. This is the best early carrot grown, 
one which market gardeners should plant. The car¬ 
rots grow about six inches long, stump rooted, smooth, 
deep red, fine grained and sugary, and not apt to crack 
open while growing. An excellent table sort and a 
heavy cropper. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., lb. 75 cts. 
CELERY 
Golden Self Blanching French Stock. The favorite and most 
popular celery on the market, east or west. A few years 
ago we were fortunate enough to obtain a limited quantity 
from the originator, which when tested, proved!to be su¬ 
perior to anything we had ever seemf* Samples given to 
market gardeners for trial proved so satisfactory that now 
it is hardly possible to supply their demand; in fact it has 
superseded all other varieties, which should be sufficient 
to recommend it to the most skeptical. Owing to unfav¬ 
orable conditions the French Crop of Golden Self Blanch¬ 
ing Celery seed is extremely scarce this season conse¬ 
quently prices are higher than formerly. Our prices for 
this season are Pkt. 25 cts., oz. 75 cts., lb. $7.50. 
CORN—Sweet or Sugar 
Early Golden Bantam. The earliest and hardiest]sweet corn 
grown and of delicious flavor. Being of dwarf habit it 
can be grown closer together than the large stalked varie¬ 
ties. It averages 4 feet in height and produces 2 to 3 
cobs well covered with a strong close husk. The cobs are 
a rich cream color when fit for cooking and the seed when 
ripe a golden yellow. We can highly recommend this 
variety. Pkt. 5 cts., lb. 20 cts. 
Oregon Evergreen. A large, early corn, covered thickly 
with a tough husk which prevents the ravages of worms 
so fatal to corn in Southern California; also keeps the ear 
fresh for a long time. Market gardeners will scarcely 
grow anything else. The ears are well filled to the tip 
with choice deep grains of delicious flavor. Lb. 20 cts., 
10 lb. $1.50, 100 lbs. $12.00.
