ALASKA.—This variety is so popular that it is sold under amul- titude of different names, such as Laxton's Earliest of All, Express, Clipper, Eclipse, no matter under what name you buy, you cannot get better stock than ours. Of the same type of growth and same size pods as Allen's First and Best but the pods are not as fine in flavor: the vines grow from twenty to thirty inches in height, bear- ing well filled medium sized pods: the dried seed are of a bluish color; the most popular variety with canners everywhere. It matures prac- tically the entire crop at one time, so that at most, only two pickings are required. In short, this is one of the most reliable early peas grown and you will make no mistake planting it. Pkt- 10c.'. pint 25c.: qt. 45c., postpaid. By express 4 qts. 75c: peck $1.25. Bushel §4.75.

ALLEN'S WHITE TIP SCARLET TURNIP.-The illustration will give an idea of the shape of tbis attractive radish ; the color is scarlet and white, as indicated by its pleasing name. It is ex: quick to mature, being ready for the table in seventeen totwer." from time of sowing seed; is invaluable for planting under glass as well as for growth in the open air ; the skin is very smooth, and il colors give it an appetizing appearance on the table ; its flavor is ex- cellent and its quality high in all respects. Market gardeners find it a quick selling sort at good prices; for the private home garden it is no less satisfactory. Pkt. 5c ; oz. 10c ; quarter-pound 20c ; pound 60c ALLEN'S EARLY DARK RED.-This radish is a great favorite with market gardeners, on account of its size and attractive appear- ance. Market gardeners as well as private gardeners who ha tried this variety will find it to give entire satisfaction, either in point of profit or its general good qualities ; its beautiful color is implied in its name. It makes very rapid growth and is one of the sweete tenderest radishes in the whole list. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; quarter-pound 25c; pound 75c SCARLET GLOBE.—This new radish has especially a good repu- tation as a forcing sort; its peculiarity is that it will bear the heat for forcing without becoming pithy in character or suffering injury to its flavor. Its attractive shape is shown in the illustration ; its color is rich scarlet which has a small top and is in all respects a high bred radish. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; quarter-pound 20c ; pound 50c SCARLET OLIVE SHAPED.-This highly desirable early radish has the same quick growth and attractive rich carmine color as ALASKA. AUen's Early Dark Red, differing from that sort only in shape, and resembling an olive instead of Allen'sEarly Dark Red. It is a very desirable table variety, and is in all respects a desirable variety for home use or marker. When placed upon a plate or when bunched, it has a beautiful appearance and finds ready sale ; flesh is white, crisp and of mild flavor ; the deep rich color of the the radish and its symmetrical form, gives it especial value for the market.

This radish makes the finest appearance on the market stall, and for this reason is grown extensively by market gardeners. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; quarter-pound 20c; pound 50c WHITE CHARTIERS OR WHITE STRAWBERRY.-Similar in shape and possessing the same good qualities as the above, but the color is pure white. I predict a great demand for this class of radish. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; quarter-pound 20c; pound 50c

1 CHARTIERS. WHITE CHARTIERS. CAK1.KT TURNIP ALLEN'S SNOW BALL.-This white turnip shape, globe shape radish is the foremost of its class in the Philadelphia markets.
