This new variety is a decided improvement on the Red Squash or Tomato-shaped Pepper, which it will probably entirely supersede. It originated with a market gardener in Massachusetts, where the fruits have had quick sale on market. The illustration above, engraved from an average specimen taken from our trial grounds, reduced in size, shows the shape of the fruit and the remarkable thickness of the tlesh,—being much thicker than any of the old varieties : the fruit is also smoother, more round, and milder in flavor. The plants are dwarfer in growth, and mature fruits ready for market decidedly earUer than the old Red Squash Pepper.

This new lettuce from Illinois was called " Marblehead Mammoth " because it is the largest head lettuce known, as the Cabbage of the same name is the largest of all Cab- bages. It forms heads nearly as hard and compact as a cabbage, and measures eight inches across the solid head, while the entire lettuce fijUy 18 inches across. The leaves are of a light green color, tender, crisp, and free from bitterness. Per pkt. 10 cts. : 3 pkts. for 25 cts. BUTTERCUP LETTUCE. Among the newer Lettuces foremost places are held by those which, in addition to tenderness and delicacy of fla- vor, are remarkable for beauty of foliage. These properties are combined to a high degree in the Buttercup Lettuce, which is equally fine for winter or summer use, as well as for forcing. It forms very solid heads, is quite as early as the Golden Stonehead, while its bright,citron-colored foliage renders it perfectly distinct from all existing Cabbag
