DESIRABLE NOVELTIES, AND SPECIALTIES.

The engraving from a photograph, shows the shape and solidity of this 
variety. It matures far north where scarcely any other varieties ever ri¬ 
pen, and will keep till June. It is immensely productive, far outyielding 
any other squash. The flesh is very dry and sweet and squashes can be 
used at any stage of their growth. It is almost absolutely bug-proof and 
should be tried by all my customers who have from any cause failed to 
grow a perfect squash. Packet 10 cts. 3 for 25 cts. 
MAMMOTH SUGAR Corn: The largest eared, and one of the sweetest 
known: ears weighing from 2 to 3 pounds each: It remains in season a long 
time. Your garden will be incomplete without this splendid late variety. 
Pkt. 10 cts. 3 for 25 cts. quart 45 cts. 
JAPANESE NEST-EGG GOURD. 
This new and beautiful variety, 
varies in size from a pigeon’s egg 
up to a goose egg, but mostly the 
size of hens eggs, and so exactly 
the color and shape, as to almost 
deceive the eye. The shells are 
hard and durable, and make the 
very best nest-eggs, as they nei¬ 
ther freeze or crack. The largest 
ones, (when sawed into), make 
excellent pots for starting toma- 
„ . , . _ , , , to, strawberry, and other plants. 
The Nest-Egg Gourd, is a rapid and desirable climber: quickly covering old 
sheds or any unsightly object with a mass of green foliage, thickly dotted 
with beautiful white eggs. Boys you can make lots of money growing this 
gourd, and selling them to your neighbors, for nest-eggs. pkt. 10 c. 3 for 25 c.

COLORADO PRE¬ 
SERVING MELON. 
This is quite distinct 
from the ordinary pre¬ 
serving citron, the 
seeds being of a light 
green color. It is im¬ 
mensely productive; 
one vine produced 25 
fine melons, weighing 
from 10 to 30 pounds 
each. The flesh is very 
firm and solid, with few 
seeds, and makes beau¬ 
tiful, clear, transparent 
preserves of surpas¬ 
singly fine flavor.

COOK’S 
SEEDS 
GROW. 
GARDEN DOCK.— This rare, distinct, and valuable variety, grows to a 
gigantic size. It is rich and tender, and of the finest flavor. This is by far 
the earliest of all greens, being ready for the table fully two weeks before 
asparagus; and considered by many superior to that popular vegetable. A 
bed once started, will last many years. pkt. 10 cts. 3 for 25 cts.

NEW CHARTIER RADISH. 
This valuable introduction, 
is far superior to any long va¬ 
riety now in cultivation. In 
quality and flavor unsurpass¬ 
ed: early, handsome, unusual¬ 
ly erisp, tender and juicy; and 
remains good a long time 
without running up to seed. 
Packet 5 cents. 
NEW ROSE CELERY, 
This is better in many re¬ 
spects than the white, being 
hardier, more solid and crisp, 
keeping better in winter, and 
having to a greater degree 
that delicious nutty flavor so 
desirable in Celery. 
The New Rose is best of all 
the pink varieties, and is very 
ornamental for the table with 
its beautiful rose-colored 
heart and pink stems. 
Pkt. 5 cts. 6 for 25 cts.
