Our  reputation 
has  been  built 
up  by  furnishing 
seeds  of  the  best 
quality  as  to 
purity  and 
germ i  nation, 
and  we  shall  al* 
ways  endeavor 
to  furnish  the 
best  seeds  that 
can  be  procured, 
and  make  prices 
as  reasonable  as 
possible.

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. 

PLOWS,  HARROWS,  ETC.

other  standard  makes.  Get  our  prices

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 
Packet.  5c;  oz,10c;  &  lb.. 
25c  ,  lb.,  81.00. 


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. 
Qt,  20c ;  pk,  90c ;  bu,  $3.50. 


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.

Leonard's. 


LEONARD'S 
FAULTLESS. — 

This  is  the  most 
popular  all  around 
cabbage  in  the  list. 
Since  1892  it  has 
had  the  call  on  the 
Chicago  market, 
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  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;

RADISH  SCARLET  GLOBE. 

Our  stock  of  this  popular  Forcing  Radish  is  consid- 
ered the  best  by  all  the  Chicago  radish  growers.  For 
the  greenhouse  or  hot-bed  it  is  the  most  satisfactory- 
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. 


Scarlet  Glo"be. 

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; 
1/2  oz,  10c;  oz,  10c;  a  lb,  15c;  lb,  75c.

—This  is  a  new  bean  of  great 
merit.  It  is  without  excep- 
tion the  earliest  wax  bean 
in  cultivation.  The  pods 
are  very  meaty  and  with 
so  very  little  string  that 
they  may  justly  be  called 
stringless.  .It  is  remarkably 
free  from  rust,  and  is  the 
best  in  quality  for  snap 
beans  of  any  wax  bean  in 
use.  The  introducers  of 
this  bean  claim  that  beans 
planted  on  June  18th  pro- 
duced pods  four  inches  long 
by  July  25th,  and  on  Aug- 
ust 1st  half  a  crop  could  be 
picked.  Qt,  30c,  pk,  $1.50,

It  is  of  immense  size,  very  solid  and  crisp 
with  light  green  foliage,  and  golden-yellow  solid 
heart.  But  its  finest  feature  is  that  it  will  keep

The  "Early  Ohio. 


EARLY  OHIO — This  potato  leads 
all  for  earliness.  It  is  the  best  variety 
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. 

EARLY  SIX  WEEKS  MAR- 
KET— Said  to  be  earlier  than  Ohio,  but

Many  of  our  customers  prefer  it  to  the 
Ohio.   Barrel,  $3.00. 

BEAUTY  OF  HEBRON  —  This 
is  and  has  been  for  many  years  a  stand-

ingly productive.    Barrel,  $3.00. 

RURAL  NEW  YORKER— This 
is  one  of  the  finest  of  the  round  white- 
skinned  sorts.  It  has  taken  the  place  of 
the  old  Peerless.  It  is  of  better  quality 
than  Peerless,  is  earlier  and  nearly  as  pro- 
ductive.  Barrel,  $3.00.

the  best  all-purpose  potatoes  ever  intro- 
duced. Quality  good,  shape  round,  skin 
white,  very  productive.    Barrel,  $3.00.

excellent  quality;  productive.  No  variety 
can  excel  this  for  home  use.  Barrel,  $3.00.

— —  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

 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-

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.

will  receive  good  returns.

Marigold  El  Dorado. 


MIGNONETTE. 

This  deliciously  fragrant 
flowering  plant  is  the  most 
popular  annual  grown. 
Mignonette  does  best  in  as 
cool  a  situation  as  possible. 
When  exposed  to  the  full 
force  of  summer  heat  it  be- 
gins to  form  seeds,  some- 
times before  the  spikes  are 
fully  grown;  even  our  new- 
large  flowering  varieties, 
under  such  conditions, 
would  not  develop  their 
marked  improvements. 

MIGNONETTE,  Sweet 
Scented  (Odorata).  —  The 
old  variety. 


MARIGOLDS. 

Old  time  garden  favorites.  Every- 
body knows  Marigolds,  and  as  they  are 
the  easiest  grown  annuals,  are  general 
favorites.  Their  odor  is  perhaps  not 
agreeable  to  everyone,  but  this  little  de- 
fect is  largely  compensated  for  by  the 
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 
over,  and  are  as  double  as  a  rose. 


EL  DORADO- Flowers 
very  large,  petals  imbri-

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.

BE?—*  I      jff  S  S£w£S£& 

plement  as  a  Dou- 
ble Wheel  Seeder, 
also  the  attach- 
ments. It  is  a  de- 
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.

Among  the  Chicago  market  gardeners 
ten  of  these  drills  are  used  for  every  one

and  can  be  made  larger  or  smaller,  as 
occasion  requires.  No  other  drill  has 
this  advantage.  The  seed  cut-off  claps 
up  underneath  the  hole;  it  does  not 
slide  under  the  same  as  in  other  similar 
drills:  on  this  account  it  does  not  clog  or
