PAUL, ROSE, OR PETOSKV MUSK MELON. 
This is one of the very finest melons yet introduced. Of medium size, elliptical form, netted, salmon 
fleshed, and so thick meated as to be almost solid, quality unsurpassed. It is a first class shipper, 
and where known commands higher prices than other sorts. Pkts., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts. ; lb., #1.50. 
PEAS. 
Our general list on pages 33 and 34 contains nearly all the desirable sorts, but the 
following recent introductions are well worth a place in the garden. 
Duke of York. This pea belongs to the Telegraph and Duke of Albany class, but it 
is a week or ten days earlier and of dwarfer habit than either of these. The 
large, handsome pods are well filled with peas of superior quality and flavor. 
Height z'/z feet. Pkt., 10 cts.; qt., 35 cts.; pk., $1.75. 
Duke of Albany. Resembling Telephone, but far more desirable, being of dwarfer 
growth and produces larger pods in greater abundance. Like the Telephone and 
Stratagem, this pea shows a tendency to “sport” a little. Pkt., 10 cts.; qt., 
35 cts.; pk., $1.75. 
Claudit. Now offered for the first time. It combines earliness, delicious flavor, 
tenderness, sweetness, size and productiveness. The vine is of vigorous growth 
and attains a height of 2^ feet. The pods are almost as large as those of Tele¬ 
phone. It is an even cropper and produces peas in great abundance, and what 
we claim for its chief value lies in its earliness of production, and its rich, sugary, 
marrow-like flavor. That a pea, as large and rich in flavor as the later sorts, 
can be had to produce peas as early as the Alaska, or first and best varieties, 
is wonderful. Pkt., 15 cts.; qt., 50 cts.; pk., $3.50. 
Breck’s New Life. The Rural New Yorker says : — “ The most productive pea, and 
all things considered the most valuable pea for home or for market of its season 
that we have ever tried. That's saying a good deal , for we have tried nearly 
every pea , old and new, from year to year for twenty years." Pkt., io’cts.; qt., 
Brock’s New Life Pea. 35 CtS.J pk., $2.00. 
JOSEPH POTATO. 
We have pleasure in again calling atten¬ 
tion to this very desirable main crop potato. 
It is of Vermont origin and well worthy a 
trial. The New Eng land Tamner says regard- 
ing this variety, which was included in the 
potato test it conducted 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, ob¬ 
long form, very smooth and fine flavored. 
Pk., 60 cts.; bush., $1.75; bbl., $4.00. 
GREEN MOUNTAIN 
POTATO. 
Another Vermont variety, already very 
popular in many sections. It is oval in 
shape, white skin, second early and a large 
yielder. In quality it ranks with the famous 
Snowflake. Some idea of its immense pro¬ 
ductiveness is shown by the fact that Dr. 
O. G. Cilley, Hamilton, Mass., raised 507 
bushels on one-half acre last season. No 
special system of cultivation was carried out, 
and the entire food given was half a ton of 
Commercial Fertilizer. Pk., 60 cts.; bush., 
$1.75; bbl., $3.50. 
RED, OR GOEDEN HUB¬ 
BARD SQUASH. 
This differs from the type only in color, 
size and earliness. The shell is a bright 
orange red, the flesh is of extra quality and 
somewhat deeper in color than the olive green 
variety. The size is a trifle smaller, but the 
habit is decidedly earlier. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 
10 cts.; lb., 80 cts. 
Green Mountain Potato.
