bullet,” weighing from 8 to io pounds. Our seed stock from 
the originator at Copenhagen, Denmark. All who prefer the 
Red Cabbage should give “ llaco ” a good trial. We can 
recommend highly “ llaco,” having given it a careful test in 
our seed trial grounds at Lexington.

Copenhagen Market Cabbage 
The only large, round-headed Cabbage which is really early ; 
it matures positively as soon as Charleston Wakefield. The 
short-stemmed, compact, yet vigorous plants, have few outer 
leaves and may be grown close together, insuring very large 
yields. Heads of this variety are unusually solid, often weigh¬ 
ing ten pounds each ; they mature all at the same time and are 
of excellent quality. Commercial and private growers alike 
agree that in its class Copenhagen Market Cabbage is supreme. 
Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 50 cts., i*4 lb. $1.75, lb. $6.00. 
Boston Greek Squash 
Greek's Market Garden 
Danver's Half-Long Carrot 
Our market garden seed is the choicest stock from a most 
carefully developed strain of this popular variety. The rich, 
deep orange roots, averaging from six to eight inches in length, 
taper gradually to a blunt point and are exceptionally smooth 
and handsome ; their crisp, tender flesh is of fine flavor. Being 
of medium length, the roots are easy to dig. This variety 
adapts itself readily to all types of soil and is enormously 
productive. 
Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., *4 lb. 60 cts., Ib. $2.00. 
Barker's Strain 
Edmand's Blood Beet 
A superior strain of Edmand’s Blood Beet; uniform in size 
and of splendid shape and color. Its flesh, which is usually 
tender and free from any stringy or woody characteristics, is of 
a deep crimson ringed or marked in a beautiful manner, making 
it most attractive when sliced for the table. In the latitude of 
Boston this strain may be sown as late as July 20 th with good 
results. 
Customers wishing a finely-flavored, early beet should include 
some of this se^d in their order. 
Pkg. 10 cts., oz. 20 cts., *4 Ib. 60 cts., lb. $2.00. 
A very desirable Summer bush Squash introduced by our 
friends from Southern Europe. The fruits are oblong and 
average about 12 in. in length ; color, dark green, often striped 
or mottled with lighter green or yellow. They may be pre¬ 
pared for the table in the same way as is any Summer squash, 
but are most delicious and palatable when sliced and fried like 
Egg Plant. Picked young and cooked in this way, the Greeks 
and Italians esteem it a great delicacy. 
We grew it during the past Summer in our trial grounds at 
Lexington and consider it a most desirable addition to our list 
of squashes. 
Pkg. 10 cts., oz. 50 cts., *4 lb. $1.75, lb. $6.00. 
Honey Dew Musk Melon 
A large, light-colored, smooth-skinned melon having a rather 
unusual shape and appearance. The fruits often weigh from 
8 to 10 lbs. each and have a thick, light green flesh. Delicious 
honey-like flavor. 
Pkg. 10 cts., oz. 50 cts., *4 Ib. $1.50. 
Breck's Balshire Tomato 
This variety resulted from crossing Balch’s Fillbasktt and 
Lister’s Prolific. It is far superior to the latter parent in that 
it is a heavier cropper, of better shape, and shows less tendency 
to crack. In a recent trial under glass some of the plants 
carried at least 40 lbs. of fruit. We recommend it strongly 
either for forcing or for out-door culture. 
Per Pkt. 25 cts.

gardening purposes our strain is most desirable.
