The most extraordinary new variety which has been offered for many years; will create a sensation wherever seen. It is from Japan, and just a few seeds were sent to a friend over in this country. This friend knew of our Interest in novelties and brought in specimens of the mel- on. One weighed 23*4 pounds and the other 25 pounds. We at once se- curpd the entire crop, although but a few "vines. The melons are of monstrous size and greatly resemble the common Yankee Field pump- kin: so nearly, in fact, as to even deceive us at first sisrht. The flesh is a clear, creamy white, fully 3U indhes thick and of excel ent flavor; it is tender and sVeet up to the rind, which is thin and tough. In packets only. Per pkt. 10c. FORDHOOK FANCY TOMATO. A decided novelty, and more than a novelty, as it is a most excellent market variety. Fruit of large size, very solid, few seeds, rich ruby red color, delicious flavor. The handsome, smooth fruits are borne in clusters of three and four at every other joint. and as the joints are close together, the plant presents a very crowded appearance. It is so com- pact and erect in growth that no stakes are required. P
