HENDERSON’S EARLY SNOW¬ 
BALL CAULIFLOWER. 
I quote Mr. Henderson’s description 
of this fine Cauliflower: *‘Not only is 
it the earliest of all Cauliflowers, but it 
is more certain to make a head than any 
other sort; and since we introduced the 
Snowball variety hundreds have grown 
Caulifigwer successfully by using this 
sort, where before they had utterly 
failed. Sown i\larch ist, year after year, 
at the same time and under the same 
conditions with other kinds, we have 
had heads of Henderson’s Early Snow¬ 
ball measuring nine inches in diameter 
ready by June loUi, about one week 
earlier than and other sort. Ilesides, of 
this variety every plant formed a fine 
head, and in addition to all this, its 
dwarf habit and short outer leaves al- 
jow it to be planted as close as eighteen 
or twenty inches apart each way, so that from twelve to fourteen thousand can be set 
out on an acre. For forcing under glass during the winter and spring this Early Snow¬ 
ball variety is peculiarly well adapted, from Its dwarf growth and short outer leaves, 
and for this purpose no other Cauliflower is now so largely grown. Finally, it may be 
stated that it does equally well for late planting.” My seed is purchased from Mr. 
Henderson. Per packet, 20 cents : one-half ounce, fpi.50. 
THE CORY CORN—The Earliest of All Sweet Corn. 
BEETS. 
PEPPER. 
Mr. Burpee has the following to say of 
this fine new Corn : “Last year there were 
.‘•several new varieties of sweet corn intro¬ 
duced claiming to be as early as The Cory, 
We grew each variety on a large scale, and, 
as a result, proved The Coky to be un¬ 
doubtedly THE E.ARLIEST OF ALL aild THE 
VERY LEST EXTR.A. EaRLY SwEET CuRN. 
We repeat the description given in last 
year’s catalogue, with full confidence that 
no grower can be disappointed in the Cory 
Corn. It originated on Rhode Island, with 
Jos. Cory, who for some years had a 
monopoly of the earliest sweet corn sent to 
the markets of Providence, Newport, Fall 
River and New Bedford. Gradually a few 
of his neighbors obtained some of the seed, 
and last year it was introduced to the pub¬ 
lic. We have ourselves grown it in three 
localities, and can affirm that it maintains 
all that was claimed for it. Every gardener 
will appreciate the great value of The Cory 
Coni when we state that the ears are 
LARGER than either the Alarblehead or 
Minne^ta, and that they are ready to 
MARKET FROM FIVE TO TEN DAYS BEFORE 
THE Marblehead Extra Early, which 
heretofore has been the earliest sweet corn 
grown. The ears are not only larger in size 
and more handsome in appearance than the 
Marblehead, but they are also much' 
SWEETER and finer in qu.ality. Ill our 
opinion, The Cory Corn is bound to super¬ 
sede all other early sorts. An extra early 
sweet corn that can beat the Marblehead by 
a week, and is sweet, is sure to immediate¬ 
ly become universally popular. In con¬ 
versation with Mr. Anthony (a large grower 
of vegetables for market, near Newport, R. 
I.), he told us that from Coiy Corn planted 
the last of April, he marketed on July 7th, 
7000 dozen ears, at 35 cents per dozen, and 
by July i6th, 15,000 dozen ears, at 30 cents 
per dozen, while the Marblehead was not 
ready until seven or eight days afterward, 
and brought only 20 cents per dozen.”

bastian*s red turnip beet, extra early. 
BASTIAN’S EXTRA EARLY 
RED TURNIP BEET. 
Extra early, of quick, large growth, 
flesh very tender, and retains, its fine 
blood-red color when cooked. Highly 
esteemed by market gardeners, both in 
the North and the South, and is un¬ 
doubtedly one of the best Beets In culti¬ 
vation. This variety and E.xtra Early 
are prefered to the Egyptian in many 
sections for Extra Early, while, un" 
like the Egyptian, they are of good 
quality, even when large and old. Per 
packet, 5 cents ; ounce, 10 cents ; one- 
fourth pound, 25 cents; per pound, 75 
cents. 
BEET—Eclipse. 
This New Beet Is remarkable not only 
for its wonderfully rapid growth, but al¬ 
so for the smallness of top and extra fine 
quality. It is fully as early as the 
Egyptian, and of better quality. The 
roots grow perfectly smooth, of perfect 
round shape, intense blood-red skin and 
flesh, very fine-grained and sweet. Its 
small, fine top, e.xtreme earliness, and 
heavy cropping qualities, recommend it 
to market gardeners. Per packet, 5 cts.; 
ounce, 10 cts.; one-fourth pound, 25 cts,; 
per pound, 90 cents.

and pleasant in flavor. 
U.nequalled by any 
OTHER variety. They

a very pleasant and appe- 
tizing salad. The Ruby 
King will prove a great burpee’s ruby king pepper. 
acquisition and will occupy a similar position among red peppers to Golden Dawn 
among the yellow sorts. Price, per packet. 10 cents; ounce, 35 cents; one-fourth lb.,
