Blue Beauty (see specialties.) 
■“American Wonder —This variety is justly 
entitled to head the list of dwarfs in point of pro¬ 
ductiveness, flavor and quality; a cross between 
the Champion and Little Gem, it combines in a re¬ 
markable degree, the superior qualities of its 
parents, and is the earliest wrinkled pea in cultiva¬

First of All — This variety of extra early Pea 
is unsurpassed for earliness, yield, size of pod and 
regularity of growth. It produces pods of good 
size, which are well filled with round, smooth peas 
of splendid flavor. It is a prodigious bearer, and 
ripens up so thoroughly as not to require more than 
two pickings to clear off the crop; and in this last 
feature and extreme earliness consists its great 
value to market gardeners or truckers. Try a few 
this season for trial. Price per pkt., 5 cts.; 34 pt->

growing about two feet high, a stocky grower with 
abundant large foliage. It is a heavy bearer of 
large pods, well filled with extra large peas of a 
delicious flavor, some of them measuring one and 
three-quarters inches in circumference. One of 
its strongest recommendations is the length of 
time they continue in bearing, yielding a number 
of pickings, a very desirable trait for the family 
garden. To get the best result, plant the peas 
about six inches apart. Price per pkt., 5 cts.; 34 
pt., 15 cts,; pt., 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts.

flavor; height four to five feet. Per pkt., 5 cts.; 34

PEPPERS. 
New Celestial (see specialties). 
Ruby King —My patches of this new Pepper 
have attracted much attention. It is unquestion¬ 
ably the largest and handsomest of the red varie¬ 
ties. They grow to a larger size than the Spanish 
Monstrous, and of different shape. Tho fruits are 
five to six inches long by about three and a half 
inches through, of a bright red color. They are 
remarkably mild and pleasant in flavor, having no 
fiery taste whatever. Single plants ripen from 
eight to ten fruits, malting them both productive 
and profitable. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 30 cts. 
Bell or Bull Nose —A large early variety, of 
mild flavor, rind thick and fleshy; the best for 
pickling. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts. 
Golden Dawn —This Pepper in shape and size 
resembles the Bell. Color a bright yellow, and very 
productive. For beauty of growth they are worthy 
a place in the flower as well as the vegetable garden. 
They are entirely exempt from any fiery flavor, and 
could be eaten as readily as an apple. Pkt., 5 cts - 
oz., 25 cts. 
Red Cluster —This is one of the most distinct 
and beautiful varieties we have ever seen—in fact, 
the plants are so ornamental as to deserve a prom¬ 
inent position in the flower garden. The small, 
thin peppers, of a most conspicuous coral-red color, 
are curiously crowded together in bunches at the 
top of each bi'anch. A single plant will bear hun¬ 
dreds of the handsome little pepper, which are very 
hot and pungent in flavor. Pkt. 5 cts. 
Long Rod Cayeune (True) —Long fruits of 
conical shape, bright red ; flesh strong and pun¬ 
gent. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts.

lific, of small size, the pumpkins averaging about 
ten inches in diameter ; the skin is a deep orange 
yellow. It is very fine grained in flesh, sweet in 
taste, and an excellent keeper. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 
10 cts.; 34 lb., 20 cts.; lb., 50 cts.

for stock. Pkt., Sets.; oz., 10 cts.; lb., 35 cts.; 
postpaid. 
RADISH—EARLY VARIETIES. 
The Shepherd Radish —The best variety in 
the country. It is the earliest long radish in 
existence. Grows larger and remains tender 
longer than any other variety in culture. In ap¬ 
pearance none other approaches it, in quality it 
has not its equal. It grows very rapidly, reaching 
dimensions of 134 inches in diameter and 12 inches 
in length in 30 days from time of planting, and 
will grow three or more inches in diameter and 15 
to 20 inches in length before becoming hard and 
woody. When full grown on ordinary garden soil, 
they oftentimes attain the enormous size of three 
feet in length. For family or market use the Shep¬ 
herd Radish surpasses all others 
in handsome appearance, size, 
shape and quality. They remain 
tender and crisp from four to six 
weekB after first coming into use. 
You should grow this radish for 
the following reasons : It is the 
earliest; it is the largest; it re¬ 
mains tender longer than any 
other ; it is the handsomest; it 
is the best for the family ; it is 
the best for the market; it is 
good for spring, summer and fall. 
Price per pkt., 5 cts - oz., 15 cts.;

inch and a half long ; flesh rose 
color. Pkt 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; R0SE OUVE _
