NEW EAREY MAY KING 
LETTUCE 
This valuable new lettuce comes with the 
highest endorsements from Germany, and at our 
Floracroft Trial Grounds it created a very favor¬ 
able impression. It is, without any question, one 
of the best lettuces on the list for early spring 
planting in the open ground. The heads are 0 to 7 
inches in diameter, with the outer leaves very 
closely folded in. The heads are of a clear light 
green, the outer leaves being slightly t inged with 
brown, the inner being clear, bright yellowish, 
with very rich oily flavor. It is an excellent mar¬ 
ket sort, the round, compact heads being so solid 
that they carry extremely well. 
Price, pkt., 10c.; oz., 35c.; J lb., $1.00; lb., 
$3.50. 
IMPROVED 
SHIPPERS’ DELIGHT 
MUSKMELON 
In 1897 we introduced the Shippers’ Delight 
Muskmelon, and many growers have realized 
handsomely on it, owing to its earliness and line 
shipping qualities. At that time many ofthe melons 
showed a distinct knob or button at the blossom 
end of the melon, and this we have been endeavoring to breed out and also to increase the size of the 
melon somewhat, at the same time keeping it early and of the same handsome appearance and shape. We 
are able to oiler now the Improved Shippers’ Delight, as shown in the handsome illustration below. 
As will be seen, they are very attractive in appearance, the shnpc being perfect for a market melon 
and nicely netted. It is quite earlv and of very line shipping qualities, the flesh being very thick at the 
ends, thus preventing the melons being softened while being shipped to market in baskets. Every gar¬ 
dener and farmer who takes melons to market will appreciate the importance of this fact. The flesh is 
green, thick and of delicious flavor. Price, pkt., 10c.; oz., 20c.; I lb., 00c.; lb., $2.00.
