NEW SHIPPING WATERMELON 
The Bradford 
Tliisis anew candidateforfavorasalarge,fine- 
flavored shipping melon. As shown in the illus¬ 
tration, it is oblong in shape with rather square 
ends. The skin is a very dark green, with still 
darker stripes, which it is impossible to show in 
the photograph. The flesh resembles in texture 
the old Mountain Sweet, than which there was 
no finer flavored melon ever introduced; very 
tender and yet solid to the heart. The flesh is 
dark red in color, the seeds beingsmall and nearly 
white, flecked with a brown spot on each side. 
Under good cultivation they grow to very 
large size, frequently weighing from 40 to 60 
pounds and commanding the very highest prices 
in any market.

$2.00, by mail, postpaid. 
NEW PEA 
Sutton’s Excelsior 
The great merit of this new pea lies in the 
fact that in it we have an early dwarf wrinkled 
pea in the front rank for earliness, yet with 
much larger, handsomer pods than any dwarf 
wrinkled pea yet introduced. 
It is similar in habit of growth to Nott’s 
Excelsior, which is one of the most popular 
dwarf wrinkled peas. It takes the place in the 
Extra Early class that is now so acceptably 
filled by Stratagem and Telephone in the later 
sorts. It grows to a height of about 12 to 14 
inches, showing a great abundance of its long, 
broad, straight pods of a pale green color. See 
colored illustration on back cover. 
Price, by mad postpaid, pkt., 10c.; pint,45c.; 
by express, quart, oov. ? quarts, $1.10; 4 quarts, 
$ 2 . 00 .
