Early Fortune. This belongs to the white spine 
type, and is the finest yet produced for general 
use. It is early, productive and blight-resisting; 
remarkably uniform fruits about 9 inches long by 
254 inches in diameter, holding their fine dark 
green color long after picking; flesh firm, crisp, 
and few seeds. We believe the high percentage 
of perfect fruits is due to the vigor and blight- 
resisting qualities of this strain. Our market 
gardeners shipping to New York and Brooklyn 
markets have found it to be their most profitable 
sort. Price per pkt., lCc.; per oz., 15c.; per k*-lb., 
45c.; per lb., $1.50. 
Davis Perfect. A fine, extra long, solid, smooth

years’ selection. Price per pkt., 10c.; per oz.,

Lowenzahn — Amaigon—Cicorea 
The Dandelion affords one of the earliest as 
well as one of the best and most healthful spring 
greens. It is also sometimes blanched and used 
as a salad. The seeds may be sown from May to 
August, in drills ten inches apart; thin out the 
young plants to about three inches apart; culti¬ 
vate during the season, and the following spring 
the plants will be fit for the table.
