New Short-Stem Drumhead Cabbage

THE FINEST STRAIN OF Late Drumhead IN CULTIVATION.

This improved variety, which we offer for the first time, far surpasses the old strain of Large Late Drumhead Cabbage, ripening earlier, with very short stock or stem, forming larger and thicker heads, of fine quality and the best of keepers. Owing to continued selection for several years past, this variety is remarkable for reliability of heading, every one who plants it can expect at least ninety-eight large solid heads from every one hundred plants. It is almost all head, and always sure to head. Per pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; 1/4 lb. 85 cts.; lb. $2.75, postpaid.

BIRD CANTELOPE MELON.
Mr. Bird, of Colorado, claims for his new Cantelope Melon extreme earliness, large size, fine flavor, and good keeping qualities. He states that he obtained the melon by crossing the Montreal and Bay View. The flesh is thick, light green in color, and of fine quality. They have been grown to weigh twenty-two pounds, measuring thirty-four by thirty-eight and one-half inches. Mr. B. F. Battles, of Massachusetts, writes: "It is double the size of the Montreal Cantelope, and fully equal to it in flavor. I would give ten dollars for a package of seed if I could not get it for less." Per pkt. 10 cts.; oz 25 cts.
