KING OF TIIE MAMMOTHS. 
This grand, colossal variety is without a rival, as¬ 
tonishing everybody by its mammoth size and heavy 
weight. Indeed no other pumpkin has ever attained 
auch enormous weights, or been awarded as many 
prizes. Think of it a single pumpkin weighing 298 
bs. (SeeCut.) 
Is not this the 
greatest of all 
pumpkins ? In 
France they 
have been 
grown to still 
greater size, 
and, as many 
of my custom¬ 
ers have as 
good, rich soil

VEGETABLE PEACH. This unique Novelty 
nrst introduced by me: is one of the most beautiful 
vegetables grown. They grow' on vines same as 
melons, are a beautiful golden yellow, almost exact¬ 
ly resembling oranges in color, shape, and size. The 
flesh is snow -white, and makes most excellent, and 
handsome preserves. Fried as Egg Plant, when 
green they are delicious, and for’’Mangoes,” they are 
so perfectly adapted I know of nothing better. They 
will keep in good condition two months after being 
picked from the vines. "Very productive, early, ana 
hardy,—have ripened their fruit in Canada— planted 
in June. I hope no one will fail to try this novelty.

France or anywhere else on the face of the earth, 1

ger here. The flesh and skin of this monstrous

PEPPER 
CORAL GEM GOU^UET PEPPER. 
Is the finest of the small varieties. W nen grown 
in pots, for which it is most suitable, it is the pret¬ 
tiest thing out, and delights every lover of the beau¬ 
tiful. Besides its greatbeauty, it serves the house¬ 
keeper in a most convenient way when pods are 
wanted for seasoning. In the open ground the plant 
grows to a height of 24 to 30 inches, so densely set 
with pods as to bend its branches down. With so 
many desirable qualities it will become the most pop¬ 
ular, as well as profitable in the manufacture of pep¬ 
per sauce. Pkt. 10 cts., 3 lor 25 cts.
