only succeeds in this climate, but produces an enormous crop, and surpasses in flavor anything we have 
heretofore grown. The melons are oblong in shape, deeply ridged, of a dark green color, slightly 
tinged with reddish-brown when ripe; the seed cavity is very small, flesh pale green, very deep, ripen¬ 
ing clear to the rind and of the finest possible flavor; in fact those who have tasted this melon, have 
been enthusiastic over it and pronounced it w the best they ever ate.” It is a late variety and will keep 
for a long time. We heartily recommend it both for market growing or for home use. Stock of seed 
very limited. Per pkt. 25c; per oz. $1.00. 
Germain's Autumn Musk Melon. 
Radisli, First Crop. — This variety will produce roots fit for the table, eight to ten days 
earlier, than any other forcing sort. In shape it is oval, and in color, bright aniline-red. Per pkt. 10c. 
Radish, Icicle. — As a rule there is not much demand for white radishes, but this new variety 
lias gained unanimous praise, wherever it has been grown. It is an early variety and produces 
cylindrical, transparent roots 3*2 to 4 inches long, very crisp and of the finest possible quality, and 
which even in a riper state are still of good flavor and do not become woody. Per pkt. 10c; 
per oz. GOc. 
Tomato, Honor Briglit. — In this new tomato we have one of the most attractive varieties 
ever grown. The fruits are produced from 3 to 5 in a cluster, and are large and solid, the flesh is 
thick and meaty, and of the finest quality, the seed cavities are very small, and the skin is smooth and 
never cracks. During growth it makes many changes in color, first being light green, then waxy white, 
then changing to lemon color, and again to a rich bright-red when ripe. It is an exceptionally fine 
market variety, the fruit may be picked when white and packed like apples in boxes for shipping, and 
after a period of 2 to 4 weeks will ripen to a rich bright-red color. Per pkt. 10c; per oz. 30c.
