NEW SEEDS FREE FOR TRIAL. 
As has been my usual custom for many years. I have again put up thousands of packets 
of new and improved varieties of Vegetable and Flower Seeds, and will in all cases add a 
liberal number free for trial among my customers. 
THE FARM JOURNAL is also sent free for one year to all whose order amounts to $2.00 
or more. If you do not need $2.00 worth, get a friend to send with you. It will pay. 
BOYS and GIRLS and even grown people can make good wages selling my seeds. See 
the liberal discounts and Premiums I offer on page 2. Catalogs, Order Sheets, etc. free. 
NEW DWARF 
CHAMPION TOMATO. 
This variety Is entirely 
distinct; it Is very dwarf 
in habit, and can be plant¬ 
ed as close as three feet. 
It has proven Itself remar¬ 
kably early: ripening Its 
large fruit as early as July 
1st. it is an Immense crop¬ 
per. Price 5 cts. per pkt. 
Here Is * ‘ something new under the sun.” A won¬ 
der indeed. The seeds have been sold for $1.00 per 
dozen. It is a combination snap and Lima (or but¬ 
ter) bean, grows about two feet high, and is im¬ 
mensely productive—! quarts having been grown 
from 25 seeds. When the pods are young they make 
excellent snap beans, and later are shelled and used 
same as other limas. Their fl avor is very rich and 
delicious. They are early, and continue in bearing 
until frost. None but favorable reports have been 
received. Packet 10 cts. 3 for 25 cts. 
EMERALD GEM 
MUSKMELON. 
This variety possesses 
many fine qualities. It is 
prolific. The flesh is salmon 
color, very thick, of a rich 
delicious flavor. It is pro¬ 
nounced one of the sweet¬ 
est, as well as the earliest 
small muskmelons grown. 
Pkt 5 cts. 
NEW PALMETTO ASPARAGUS. 
the finest ever cultivated in 
years trial in nearly all sec¬ 
tions, it is pro¬ 
nounced by all to 
be far in advance 
of others. Grow¬ 
ing side by side 
with Conover’s 
Colossal, under 
exactly the same 
treatment, the 
Palmetto proves 
to be at least a 
week earlier, the 
stalks are heavi¬ 
er, thicker, and 
of finer flavor. It 
is remark ably 
tender, rich and 
buttery when 
cooked, and very 
free from any 
tough or woody 
fiber. Every fam¬ 
ily should have a 
supply of this 
healthful and de¬ 
licious vegetable, and I am sure all would, if it were 
known how easily and quickly it can be grown. 
B^~Myseed, is genuine “Palmetto,” and if well 
planted and cared for, will produce larger and finer 
asparagus at TWO YEARS of age, than other varie¬ 
ties at five. Cultural directions on every packet. 
Large pkt. 10 cts. 3 for 25 cts. % lb. 50 c. one- 
half lb. 85 cts. pound, $1.50, postpaid. 
Truly A Giant Asparagus.— A bunch of the 
Palmetto Asparagus grown by Robert Nichols, a 
Philadelphia gardener, beats anything of the sort 
ever heard of. The bunch, composed of about 
fifty shoots, weighed 31 pounds. It was a growth 
of only three days. — Ed. American Garden. 
This new variety is 
this country. After four
