BRECK’S NEW LIFE PEA. 
1 he Rural New Yorker says: — “ The most productive pea, aud all things con¬ 
sidered the most valuable pea for home or for market of its season, that we have ever 
tried. That's sayi ng a good deal , for we have tried nearly every pea , old a mi new, from 
year to yea rfor tiuen ty years . ’ ’ 
The New England Farmer says:—Breck’s New Life is a strong, stocky grower. 
1 he pods are as large as the Stratagem and are produced abundantly. Both pods 
and vines retain their bright green color for a long time.” Pkt., io cts. ; qt., 30 cts. ;

GRADUS PEA. 
This pea represents the greatest advance yet achieved in earliness, for although 
it ripens with such sorts as Alaska the deep green colored pods are as large and 
well filled as those of Telephone, with large, wrinkled peas, of fine quality. Pt., 
60 cts. ; qt., $1.00. 
JOSEPH POTATO. 
The New England Farmer says regarding this variety which was included in the potato test it con¬ 
ducted season of 1897 : — “We recommend every farmer to plant some ‘Joseph,’ it produced with us a 
larger crop of even sized marketable potatoes than any other.” It is a main crop sort, of large, oblong 
form, very smooth and fine flavored. Pk., .75 ; bush., 2.50. 
WARTED HIBBARD SQUASH. 
Owing to the attractive appearance and heavy crop¬ 
ping qualities of this variety, it is a favorite with market 
gardeners. It differs from the Smooth Hubbard in that it 
grows to a much larger size and the shell is covered with 
warty knobs. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; lb., 75 cts. 
“ HONOR BRIGHT” TOMATO. 
This differs from all other tomatoes in its peculiar 
habit of ripening and in the firmness of the fruit. The 
plants are of vigorous habit although the foliage is of a 
greenish yellow color. If the fruit is picked in the mid¬ 
dle stage of ripening it is the longest keeper of any, 
hence very valuable for long distance shipping. The skin 
is crack-proof. The flesh when fully ripe tender aud 
melting and of delicate flavor. The color of the fruit 
when ripe is bright red, but before reaching this stage it 
is first green, then waxy white, changing to lemon and 
later to red. It is adapted both for home use and market¬ 
ing. Pkt., iocts.; oz., 50 cts.
