This new melon has proved itself to be a decided acquisition, no finer melon having ever been introduced. It originated on the farm of a truck grower in North Carolina, and is a cross between the Kolb Gem and Moun- tain Sweet, surpassing the former in shipping qualities and fully equalling the latter in fine eating quality and flavor. It is from a week to ten days earlier than either, has a remarkably thin, tough rind, and as a keeper and shipper it has no equal. Its productiveness is unequalled, each vine matures 7 to 8 large melons; the vines are strong and rapid growers, and have more laterals than other varieties, possessing the valuable quality of rooting from every joint, which adds largely to the bearing and life of the vines. The flesh is bright scarlet, of fine quality, almost down to the skin. The melons in market bring the highest prices. To sum up its good qualities—it is The Most Productive, Finest Eating, Best Shipper ever introduced. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 10 cts.; lb. $1.00, postpaid. Tomato, Monarch, This is one of the most distinct and valuable Tomatoes of recent introduction. It is very early and won- derfully prolific. The fruit is of a very rich shade. It is perfectly smooth and very solid, of the best quality, and bears shipping long distances. Per pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 35 cts. Pepper, Bird's Eye, or Creole,
