oz., $3.50; per pkg,, 25 cts. 
HENDERSON’S SNOWBALL 
This ranks very high among the early varieties; for earli¬ 
ness, reliability for heading, size of head, and rich, white, 
curdy appearance, it is deservedly very popular. It has the 
best characteristics found in the Berlin Dwarf, Extra Early 
Erfurt, or Sea Foam. Our seeds will be directly from Henderson

winning its spurs.

LONG ISLAND BEAUTY. 
Of the thirteen varieties of cauliflower raised in our experi¬ 
mental plot in 1888 every specimen of the Long Island Beauty 
made fine heads, and the heads averaged larger than any other 
sort. It is among the very earliest. We would advise all our 
market-garden customers, who are raisers of cauliflower, to 
give this a trial. Mr. Brill calls it u absolutely and unequivo¬ 
cally the best cauliflower in the world.” Price, per oz., $3.00; 
per pkg., 25 cts. 
EXTRA EARLY DWARF ERFURT. 
(Seed specially selected.) Yery early, hardy, dwarf and 
compact. One of the very best for forcing and as an early 
variety. We have grown them fourteen inches in diameter.

Our Lackey’s Corn is nearly as early 
as the Cory and of fine quality. 
GIANT PASCAIv. 
This new va¬ 
riety of celery 
comes to us 
from France. 
It is a tall sort, 
growing large, 
thick, and solid 
stalks. Dark 
green in color, 
it has a golden 
heart and a 
rich, nutty 
flavor. Unlike 
some of the 
self-blanching 
varieties, this is 
a fine keeper, 
being found in 
the markets of 
Paris from the 
end of Decem¬ 
ber to the 
beginning of 
March. Well 
worthy the at¬ 
tention of every 
enterprising 
market garden¬ 
er. Price, per 
oz., 35 cts.; per 
pkg., 10 cts.

WHITE plume. 
The peculiarity of the 
celery known as u White 
Plume” is, that by clos¬ 
ing the stalks, either by 
tying them up with mat¬ 
ting, or by simply draw¬ 
ing the soil up against 
the plant, and pressing 
it together with the 
hands, and again draw¬ 
ing up the soil with the 
hoe or plow, so as to 
keep the soil that has 
been squeezed against the 
celery in its place, the 
work of blanching is 
completed. The very 
qualities that make its 
culture so simple unfit it 
for a spring celery, as 
its tenderness and crisp¬ 
ness of structure cause it 
to rot quicker than the 
old green kinds. Price, 
per 4 pound, 95 cents; 
per ounce, 35 cents; per package, 10 cts. 
„ S- ^ 081ie y’ Boston, Ky., writes'. “The White Plume and Paris

fectly solid. One of the leading Boston market gardeners con¬ 
siders it an acquisition. Price, per pound, postpaid, $2.00;
