Endive.—k much used salad by the chefs, the curled sorts with large white rib, although the broad leaved sorts known as escarolle are now used largely. They must be thoroughly bleached. Leftoce.—Of this vegetable much could be said, new introductions of excellent quality, both for forcing early open ground and summer growing. Melons.—Like all cucurbitace^, these are susceptible of producing numerous varieties. Many new sorts are intro- duced, but soil and location does not always suit. The orange-fleshed, netted varieties are more extensively grown. A few of the green-fleshed muskmelon sorts have been very much improved. The same is true of watermelons; many intro- ductions, the most valuable being the hard rind and fine grained flesh. Onions.—All the new sorts produced have been of the quick-growing and full maturing from seed the first year. Peas.—Improvements of value have been along this line, and much appre- ciated by all who use this much prized vegetable. Within a few years the large green wrinkled sorts have been brought to perfection in tall and dwarf varieties, maturing in three days after the extra early round seeded sorts. Other varie- ties have been introduced which endure our hot summers, thus giving green peas a larger part of the summer. The sugar oredible pod sorts are of excellent quality and have been greatly improved; these are used pod and grain. Radisli.—Among these several new sorts have been introduced, scarlet and all white, very short top forcing sorts, which are Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original American Florists Company.
