Breck’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. 40 cts., 14 lb. $1.25, lb. $4.00 
Copenhagen Market Cabbage 
The only large, round-headed Cabbage which is really 
early ; it matures positively as soon as Charleston Wake¬ 
field. The short-stemmed, compact, yet vigorous plants, 
have few outer leaves aud may be grown close together, 
insuring very large yields. Heads of this variety are 
unusually solid, often weighing 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. 15 cts., 54 oz * 60 cts., loz. $1.00, 14 lb. $3.75 
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. 
Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 50 cts., 141 b. $1.50 
Breck’s Balshire Tomato 
This variety resulted from crossing Balch’s Fillbasket 
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. 
Pkt. 25 cts. 
Lister’s Prolific Tomato

about Boston especially where a medium size tomato is 
desired. The color is rich scarlet, tomato is medium size, 
solid, fruit borne in large clusters. 
Pkt. 25 cts. Per oz. 60 cts. 
Hubert's Marvel Tomato

of English introduction, recommended for either forcing 
under glass or outdoor cultivation.

A most profitable variety for the market gardener. It 
has been grown in New England for several years with 
great success a::d profit. The fruit of the John Baer is 
nearly round, color, clear scarlet and of large size for an 
early tomato, flesh smooth and firm. Fruit stands ship¬ 
ping well. The vines are hardy, productive and continue 
to bear fruit for a long period.

the Boston market is a squash 7 or 8 in. long.
