Lettuce 
BLACK-SEEDED SIMP¬ 
SON. One of the old, most 
reliable, and productive 
loose-leaf varieties. The 
nearly white, very large, 
thin, curly, very tender 
leaves are of very good 
quality, remaining in fine 
condition for some time. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; 
V 4 lb. 50 cts.; lb. $1.50; 
10 lbs. $12.50. 
DARK COS. In this Cos we 
are offering something new. 
We have developed it with 
the idea in mind that it 
would withstand heat and 
bad weather conditions. Our experiments 
have proved it to be far superior in this 
respect. The leaves are dark green with a 
self-folding head. Height is about 15 
inches. We believe this to be a very 
valuable commercial type, and will gladly 
furnish a liberal sample of seed to those 
who have not already tried it. Pkt. 10 cts.; 
oz. 15 cts.; 141b. 40 cts.; lb. $1.50; 10 lbs. 
$14. 
Romaine or Cos Lettuce 
ROMAINE or COS. This is the largest variety of green Cos Lettuce that grows. It has an upright, 
quick-growing habit, and a solid, very crisp head of fine flavor that bleaches as it grows. It is not so 
apt to blast as some of the light-colored strains, therefore more sure to make a crop. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 
cts.; y 4 lb. 40 cts.; lb. $1.50; 10 lbs. $14. 
Muskmelon 
HEARTS OF GOLD or HOODOO. A new, orange-fleshed variety, ideal as a shipping melon and of the 
very finest quality. Vine vigorous, remarkably blight-resisting, and very productive. Fruit of medium 
and very uniform size. Netting exceptionally fine and dense, extending practically over the entire surface. 
Rind thin, yet very firm, so that the melons arrive in perfect condition in distant markets. Flesh thick, 
firm, highly colored, of fine texture and delicious flavor. One of the best market melons offered today. 
Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; i/ 4 lb. 40 cts.; lb. $1.25; 10 lbs. $11.50. 
ROCKY FORD. The most desirable green-fleshed melon and unexcelled for spiciness and sweetness. Our 
stock is the improved blight-resistant type of Rocky Ford. Its shipping qualities are fine. Light green 
flesh with small seed-cavity and extra-fine flavor. A very popular variety and always scarce and in heavy 
demand. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; V41b. 30 cts.; lb. $1; 10 lbs. $9. 
FORDHOOK. One of the very best early, deep-fleshed, pink melons, with a most delicious flavor. Some¬ 
what flat in shape, well netted, the sectors showing plainly. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; y 4 lb. 30 cts.; lb. $1; 
10 lbs. $9. 
HONEY DEW. This new and deliciously flavored melon has met with instant public favor. It is the 
very finest melon grown today because of its extraordi¬ 
nary sweetness. Fruit very large; rind smooth and cream- 
colored. The light green flesh is very thick, and unsurpassed 
in quality and richness of flavor, crisp texture, and 
unrivaled sweetness. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; Vilb-45 cts.; 
lb. $1.50; 10 lbs. $14. 
ABBOTT & COBB MUSKMELON. Another variety of merit 
which we are offering this coming season, originated and 
grown on our own Farms. Somewhat like Pride of Wis¬ 
consin but lacking in pronounced netting. The particular 
advantage is that the flesh is more firm and will carry a 
long distance to market. The flesh is thick and has a 
remarkably small seed-cavity. Average weight of this 
melon is three pounds. Pkt 10 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; l / 4 lb. $1.25; 
lb. $4; 10 lbs. $37.50.

FORDHOOK FANCY. The dark green leaves of this va¬ 
riety are more curled on the edges than any other sort, 
making most attractive greens. Oz. 10 cts.; y 4 lb. 25 cts.; 
lb. 65 cts.; 10 lbs. $6.
