I take pleasure in handing: you herewith our
MARKET GARDENERS' PRICE LIST. The year
1900 promises to be a prosperous one for the gardener,
and LEONARD'S SEEDS may be relied upon to assist
very materially in making: it so. Some advances will be
noticed in the prices this year, but on the average they
will run about the same as las t season.
The fire which destroyed my. wholesale warehouse
on November Jst, J899, was a great disaster, causing:
much inconvenience and loss. Many, stocks were lost
which cannot be duplicated until another harvest, and the
profits which would have been realized from them are
g:one forever. We may be congratulated, however,
upon the fact that the stocks reserved for our Market
Gardeners' trade were not destroyed. Up to the time of
the fire all that part of the stocks reserved for that pur-
pose had been sent to the retail store. This, with the
stock that has come since, and with what is now en route,
makes our Market Gardeners* stock as complete as though
no disaster had occurred.

Important Information.
IN THE SQUARES.
We place prominently in the squares a
few of the important Market Garden Seeds
so that the prices may be seen at a glance.
Other prices throughout the Catalogue are
correspondingly low.
ORDER EARLY.
Get your orders in as early in the season
as possible. This will give you the advan-
tage of having your seeds on hand as soon
as your ground is ready. It will also assist
us in giving your orders the very best
attention.
CAULIFLOWER SEED.
We are glad to announce that Leonard's
strain of the Early Snowball has proved
better than any other we ever sent out. It
has given excellent satisfaction to all the
growers thus far heard from. We are sure
that no other strain can surpass it. We will
offer it at the same price as last year, and
all cauliflower growers cannot do better
than to stick right to our cauliflower seed.
See pages 4- and 5 in this catalogue.
FERTILIZERS.
On page 61, near the back of book, a list
of what are known as commercial f ertilizers
will be found. These goods are very im-
portant to the gardener. The analysis of
of each kind is given, and mention is made
of the crops for which each kind is adapted.
These fertilizers will increase the yield of
your crops. They are a valuable adjunct to
stable manure and should be used by all who
want the best results from their ground.
TOOLS, SEED DRILLS, ETC.
These goods are all listed in the back of
book. Prices on tools are about as usual.
You will be able to get good Cultivators,
Seed Drills, etc., sufficiently low as to
make it an object to give up the old one
this year.

Rocky Ford
Musk Melon
This new musk melon is
similar to the oval strain
of Netted Gem. The strain
here offered originated
with the melon growers in
the vicinity of Rockv Ford,
Colorado, who have shipped
this melon from that dis-
tant western point to east-
ern markets. The melons
grown by them are so fine
in quality as to outsell all
others, and the demand for
such melons has been far
beyond the supply. There
seems to be a difference of
opinion as to whether it is.
the climate of that western
point or the superiority of
the strain of seed which
makes the quality of the
melonsgrownthere somuch
better than the ordinary.
It is quite likely that
both conditions have some-
'thing to do with it— at any
rate, we have seed of th^.
true strain and offer it here

NEW BEAN.
STRINGLESS GREEX POD.
This new bush bean is one of the most
desirable ever introduced, and we highly
recommend it. The introducer describes
it as follows: "It is most happily named,
as it is quite unique— the only string-
less green-pod bush bean in cultiva-
tion. Consequently it surpasses all others
in crisp, tender flavor. The illustration
herewith, taken from nature, shows the
width and thickness of the beautiful,
straight, green pods: all are absolutely
stringless and of the beautiful fleshy
appearance shown. The pods are ready
to market two weeks earlier than the
best stock of Improved Extra Early Red
Valentines, in fact, earlier than the Early
Yellow Six Weeks, which, as all know, is
valuable only for its extra earliness,
being of inferior quality. Quart, 30c;
peck, $2.00.
New Stringless Green-Pod Bean.
LEONARD'S SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER
Is the best strain of Snowball ever
offered. No gardener should fail to
try it.
Water Melon (Cole's Early).
WATER MELON.
COLE'S EARLY,
This is the best melon for the home market
to-day. For sweetness and delicate texture of
flesh it has no equal. The rind is thin, but brit-
tle, and, therefore, not suitable for shipping;
for home market we know of none better. Ex-
treme earliness is another important point in its
favor. Packet, 5c; oz., 10c; M lb., 20c; lb., 65c

BEAN
DAVIS KIDNEY WAX.
This wax podded variety is very
popular with market gardeners.
The pods are long, of a fine golden
yellow color, flat in shape, meaty
and of fine quality. The vine is vig-
orous and hardy, upright in growth
and bears abundantly. This bean
will stand shipping as well or bet-
ter than any variety. It is also
popular with canners. Quart, 25c.;
peck, $2,00.
IMPORTANT.
Reports from our many gar-
dener customers who plant CauU
iflower Seed largely are at hand.
These reports show that LEON=
ARD'S STRAIN of the EARLY
SNOWBALL CAULIFLOWER
has given them every satisfac-
tion. We find in this much that
is gratifying, as it confirms our
belief that our strain of this pop=
ular Cauliflower is unsurpassed.
It also proves that the confidence
placed upon our judgment by
our customers last spring was
not misplaced. We told them
ours was as good a strain of
Snowball Cauliflower as they or
anyone else had ever planted,
and so It has proved to be.

THE EMERALD
CUCUMBER.
This new cucumber has
made a place for itself among
the popular market varieties.
It is of the white spine type,
but has a smooth, glossy skin,
different from any other of
that class. It is thought
highly of in many of our large
markets, and is worth a trial
by all progressive gardeners.

Leonard's Extra Early Egyptian Beet.
LEONARD'S EXTRA EARLY
EGYPTIAN BEET.
This is the earliest and best bunching
beet for market gardeners. It has been
grown for the past eight years by the
gardeners of Chicago, and now they will
take no other for early bunching. It is
a specially selected strain, grown by me
for the past nine years, and is being im-
proved each year, and is superior to any
other strain of Egyptian Beet. Oz, 10c ;
% lb, 15c ; lb, 60c.
MAMMOTH WHITE CORY
SWEET CORN.
The ears are twelve rowed, fully twice
the size of the old Cory, white cobbed,
and covered with very large, white
grains of good quality. Ko other sweet
corn will find ready sale in a market
which is supplied with Mammoth "White
Cory, and the gardener who wishes to
get the cream of the trade should make
his plantings of this splendid novelty.

Danish Ballhead Cabbage.
DANISH BALLHEAD CAB-
BAGE.
For a winter cabbage for early spring
sales some of our local gardeners consid-
er this variety excellent. It is described
as follows : it has been selected and per-
fected for more than fifty years by the
Danish gardeners, who prize it so highly
that they grow it almost exclusively for
winter cabbage, andannualy export large
quantities of it. It is a hard heading and
long keeping cabbage. Heads round as
a ball, solid, fine grained, has few outer
leaves, tender, crisp and of unexcelled
flavor. Pkt,5c ; oz,30c ; % lb, 75c ; lb, $2.50.

Since 1892 it has
had the call on the

and kraut growers
in all sections of
the country con-
Leonard's Faultless.
sider it the best variety for that purpose ever introduced. Its earliness,
large size, and superior quality make it the best market sort for profit.
It can be grown either for Summer or Fall use. The Chicago garden-
ers find it as early as the Summer, larger than that variety and finer
grained. It may be planted close and will produce more solid, salable
heads to the acre than any known variety. The seed we have of the
Faultless is selected with the greatest care, and so popular is this strain
that we book orders far in advance of the planting season, in order, as
the gardeners say : ''that we may be sure to get seed of it." We recom-
mend this Cabbage to any gardener or cabbage grower as being the best second early or
all purpose variety, and no mistake will be made by anyone who will give it a trial.

CHARTIER HEAD LETTUCE.
=PAUL ROSE flELON
This new musk melon is a cross between the Netted Gem and the Osage, which two
are probably the most valuable melons in cultivation.
In a letter dated Nov. 15, 1897, Mr. Paul Rose says : "I have found in my experience
of nearly twenty years in melon growing, that there is an increasing demand in most of
the large cities of the northern States for salmon fleshed melons, and further, that the
trade prefer their melons in the half -bush el climax basket." There you have the whole
story in a nut shell.
SALMON FLESHED AND BASKET SIZE.
Add to these essential points, exceeding sweetness and solid texture of flesh, combined
with the best shipping qualities, and you have a melon such as every shipper longs for.
Seed is scarce this year. Pkt. 5c, oz.lOc ; 34 lb. 25c : lb, $1.00.
BEET.
CROSBY'S EGYPTIAN.
Crosby's Egyptian Beet.
A selection from that old market Beet.Early
Egyptian, which retains the earliness of the
parent stock, and has added thickness, giving
it a more desirable shape. It is the deepest
red, almost black in color, and is of finer
quality than the Egyptian, being sweeter and
even more tender and smoother. A very de-
sirable sort for small beets for early market,
as it is in presentable market shape quicker
than any variety, except Leonard's Egyptian.
It is a very rapid grower, and can be sown
outside as late as July. Pkt, 5c; oz, 10c; % lb,
15c; lb, 40c.
WATER MELON.
BLACK DIAMOND.
The Black Diamond is the result of hybrid-
ization of Kolb's Gem and Hoosier King, the
new seedling, propagated and improved for
five years, the most critical expert selection
made during the whole time by one of the
most successful growers in Knox County, In-
diana, until the new type is so thoroughly
fixed that we have a distinct and the best
melon Avithout exception for the past 20 years.
All that could be said of the Kolb's Gem as to
good shipping qualities can be truthfully
stated in a higher degree of the Black Dia-
mond. Pkt, 5c; oz, 10c; % lb, 25c; lb, 90c; 5

LEONARD'S YELLOW GLOBE ONION.
, . LEONARD'S
YELLOW GLOBE ONION.
This Onion is our prize yellow market variety. It is the most uniform as to size, the most pro-
ductive, the best keeping and the handsomest yellow-skinned Globe variety we have ever known. It
has taken years of patient effort to bring it to its present perfection, and to keep up the standard of
excellence requires extreme care in the selection of bulbs to set out for seeding when the time for
that event occurs each year,
It may be safely said that the bulbs we now have on hand of this variety of Onion are uDdoubtedly
as handsome and uniform a lot of Yellow Globes for the quantity as can be found stored anywhere.
Many large onion growers from different sections of our country have seen them, and the expres-
sions of praise for the beauty, uniform size and soundness of our Onions are testimonials of the high-
est value. We would call especial attention to a remark of one 1 arge Ohio grower. It referred to the
highly desirable color which our Onions have. He said : " The color of these yellows would be a for-
tune to me this year if my crop had it." This Yellow Globe Onion has the call on the Chicago mar-
ket, and wherever known it never fails to show, up its superiority over other stocks.
Lb. $2.00, 5 lbs. $9.00, 10 lbs. $17.50.

LEONARD'S WHITE GLOBE ONION.
LEONARD'S WHITE GLOBE ONION.
White Onions, when successfully grown, are by all means the handsomest, and will
usually bring more money per bushel than either of the other colors. It is harder to
grow them to perfection than it is to grow yellow or red, because they will not stand
adverse conditions of weather and other drawbacks so well. Many growers, however,
have mastered the art of growing good crops of whites, and the better prices realized for
them is quite an inducement for continued effort by those who have not been so successful
Good seed is one of the important essentials in growing this Onion successfully, and
in our strain of White Globe all will find seed that cannot be surpassed for making a sure
crop for marketing, a paying crop for bunching, or a bountiful crop when sown for sets
or for pickling. This is our specially selected strain ; none has ever proved better. You
get the best when you buy this. Lb. $2.25 ; 5 lbs, $10.00 ; 10 lbs, $20.00.

LEONARD'S
RED GLOBE
ONION.
This is another of our Onion
specialties which merits "espe-
cial prominence. Our strain of
large Red Globe is similar in
size, shape and uniform excel-
lence to our Leonard's Yellow
Globe. In color our Red Globe
has that deep, bright appear-
ance so much sought for in a
red variety, and [if we could
have onion-growers see the
bulbs we have of this variety
at present in our warehouse,
little difficulty would be ex-
perienced in convincing them
that those bulbs ought to pro-
duce seed such as they would
swear by. Many growers have
seen them, and as in the case of
our Yellow Globe, were unstint-
ed;in their praise. This strain
of Red Globe Onion is offered
with the assurance that no-
thing has been left undone to
make it what it should be, and
that it possesses all the points
which go to make up the ideal
Red Globe Onion. Lb., $2.25;
5 lbs., $10.00; 10 lbs., $20.00.

It is one of the earli-

being early, it is one
of the best keepers,
being hard and sound
when offered for sale
on our markets late
in the spring. The

radish yet found, and for early open ground sowing it
gives excellent results. Leonard's stock has that brill-
iant red color so much desired in a greenhouse radish.
The flesh is pure, white, solid, crisp and very mild; tops
are small, and taken as a whole, this radish leads all
other known kinds for beauty and quality, and is the
best seller of all the Forcing Radishes, Pkt. 5c; oz, 10c;

OLIVE SHAPED
LEAFLESS FORCING RADISH.
The extra early forcing radishes lately intro-
duced are remarkable for the small size of their
leaves, they develop their roots in so short a time
that the latter are practically in advance of their
leaves. The character is still more noticeable in this new variety which, for that reason, we have
called "leafless," and in fact the seed cotyledons, which assume a great development from the start,
are the only green parts to be seen on the plants until the bulb is almost large enough for pulling.
Only at that time one or two very short leaves are produced: they are rough and deeply crimped. A
very early and auite distinct variety of beautiful bright color and of excellent quality. Pkt, 5c;

free from rust, and is the

for onions, and plant the bulbs in drills eight
inches apart, and four inches apart in the rows,

for the market gardener to grow for the
home market. None can excel it in qual-
ity. There will be money in it this year.
Barrel, $3.00.

KET— Said to be earlier than Ohio, but
not found so as yet. It is similar to the
Ohio in general appearance and quality.
Many of our customers prefer it to the

ard all-around potato. It is early, of su-
perior quality, fairly productive and a
splendid seller. Barrel, $3.00.

the most meritorious of newer varieties.
It grows to a large size, has a fine appear-
ance, fairly good quality, and is exceed-
ingly productive. Barrel, $3.00.

THE LEONARD— This is one of
the best all-purpose potatoes ever intro-
duced. Quality good, shape round, skin

— — SUGAR BEETS.
rHE possibilities and opportunities of the beet sugar industry in this country may be gathered
from the following: The quantity of sugar made from beets in the world is estimated at 8 bil-
lion 500 million pounds. The quantity made from cane is 6 billion 600 million pounds, making a
difference of nearly 2 billion pounds in favor of the beet, besides this we, of the United States, import
each year 4 billion 510 million pounds of sugar valued at 130 million dollars. This is four times as
much as we have thus far been able to produce, and the only reason we do not produce more is the
lack of effort, because we can grow beets as cheaply and bountifully as can any country of Europe.
It is found also that the beets grown here in this country contain a little more saccharine matter
than those grown in European countries. Here are opportunities for the American farmer which
ought to be taken advantage of.
VILMORINS IMPROVED SUGAR.
In general, the most desirable beet for the
factory is the one containing the largest
percentage of sugar. In this variety we have
one of the richest beets in cultivation, not
only that, but it will do better on new lands,
suffer less from an excess of nitrogen, and
will keep the best of any. In size it is
medium or a little below, yielding from ten
to sixteen tons per acre, and containing from
sixteen to eighteen per cent, of sugar. It
grows below the surface, and the green
leaves are smooth, edged and spreading.
Oz, 5c; % lb, 10c ; lb, 25c.
All the Sugar Beets
are very valuable
for Stock
Feeding.
KLEIN WANZLEBEN.
A little larger than Vilmorin's Improved, yielding from twelve to eighteen tons per acre, and
containing about the same amount of
sugar. It grows below the surface, and
the green leaves are rather large and
spreading, with wavy edges. A little
hardier, and easier grown than Vilmorins
Improved. Probably the best sort for the
experimenter to use.
Oz, 5c; H lb, 10c; lb, 25c.
FRENCH,
Very Rich.
A variety with large, long roots, yield-
ing from fourteen to twenty tons per
acre, and containing from fourteen to
sixteen per cent, of sugar. The roots
are below the surface, and the green
leaves are upright in growth. The hard-
iest, and easiest grown.
Oz, 5c; % lb. 10c; lb, 25c.

Mignonette does best in as
cool a situation as possible.
When exposed to the full
force of summer heat it be-

beauty of both flowers and plants, the
long duration and usefulness of their
blossoms. The foliage is always green
and handsome, even during the hottest
months; insects will rarely ever attack
them; and they are always in bloom.
The colors are of the brightest rich
golden-yellow, a shade by no means com-
mon amongst flowers, lemon-yellow, or-
ange and brown. The flowers of the tall
sorts are of immense size, often attain-
ing a circumference of twelve inches and

CLIMBING NASTURTIUMS, Madam Gunter's Hybrids.
The new Hvbrids of Madam Gunter make a strong growth, climbing from five to six feet high,
and are covered from spring to fall with large, substantial flowers of the most brilliant shades.
They are remarkable for their wide range of colors, embracing rose, pink, salmon, purple, velvety
dark maroon, light yellow and deep orange in self colors, as well as striped and blotched in the
most fanciful manner. So ornamental is this new strain that it deserves a place in every garden,
either for climbing or trailing from vases, or over the ground. Per pkt 10c
PALMS.
As decorative plants for the
house many species of palms
are rarely prized. Happily
those species which will thrive
in ordinary heat and with the
least care are among the hand-
somest and most desirable of
the genus. They will
do well at a window
where there is little
or no direct sun-
shine. This peculi-
arity makes these
plants adapted to
places quite unsuited
to ordinary house-
plants.

ble Wheel Seeder,

sirable combina-
tion of the Garden
Drill with the
New Universal
Cultivating at-
tachments, and
has the advantage
of being either a Double Wheel or Single Wheel implement at will, the change from
the one to the other being readily made.
The change to a Cultivator or Wheel Hoe is also simple and easy, and as a Culti-
vator it can be used either astride or between the rows.
It is a conceded fact that by far the nicer work can be done by a one-wheel Seed
Drill. First, because the Single Wheel forms a sight for the operator in running a
straight row, on the line marked out by previous passage of the Drill. Second, because
with a Single Wheel unevenness of the soil is readily passed over, without bringing
extra strain on the operator to keep the Drill steady ; while with two wheels a little
unevenness under one of the wheels will cant the Drill so as to throw the Furrow
Opener to one side, and thus leave a crook in the row, which will only be noticeable
in after cultivation. Crooked rows tend to increase the labor of cultivation, which is
arduous, and must be gone over several times in a season. Plant straight to start
with, and save extra labor.
