The Finest 

 Melon Ever 



Sweet Air Cantaloupe 



for the 



one week from the 

 time of first cutting; 

 in fact it can be har- 

 vested all at the same 

 time. Mr. Sweeney 



has made more money oft of this cabbage than any other. We got our stock from him, and 

 believe that if our patrons take this seed they will be more than satisfied. Price, packet, lo cents; 

 ounce, 25 cents; J4 pound, 80 cents; pound, $2.50. 



New Extremely Early Long Podded Alaska Peas 



Few introductions in the Pea line has created such a sensation as this new Pea. While it is 

 of the wrinkled variety, not quite so wrinkled as the Gradus. It is very hardy, and can be planted 

 at the same time as the Alaska. It will come at least five days earlier than the Alaska and the 

 pods will be nearly double the size of that well known variety. Abundant in yield, and beau- 

 tiful in color. This is bound to take the place of the old sort. Its fine flavor alone should make 

 it a leader. Price, 14 pint, 10 cents; i pint, 15 cents; i quart, 25 cents; gallon, 80 cents; peck, 

 $1.50; bushel, $6.00. 



Bolgrano's New Wonder Lettuce 



It has solid round heads and will bear transportation better than almost any other variety. For 

 early spring planting in the open ground or under glass, it is unequalled. The plants grow 6 

 to 7 inches in diameter; the outer leaves are so closely folded the plant is practically all head. 

 It is hardy, as well as very early, and a quick grower. Leaves are a light green, and slightly 

 crumpled, like Savoy spinach ; inner leaves a bright yellow. In flavor it is particularly rich, 

 buttery and tender. Bolgiano's Wonder has^ certainly been highly appreciated wherever grown or 

 tried, and is sure to become popular, both in home or market gardens. Price, ounce, 20 cents; 

 2 ounces, 35 cents; 54 pound, 65 cents; pound, $2.50. 



SPECIAL N OVELT IES for 1909 



SWEET AIR CANTALOUPE 



We know from what we have seen of this melon for the past three 

 seasons that we cannot speak too highly of this melon. It is the sweet- 

 est, finest flavored, jucicst and best melon ever offered. 



It is a little larger than the Rocky Ford, well netted, THICK 

 GREEN FEESH, small seed cavity. It has readily sold every season 

 for $1.00 more per crate than any other melon, and has always cut 

 sweet. When the other standard sorts have been flat to the taste this 

 has been perfect in sweetness. Last year our trade offered us $5.00 

 per pound for this seed. Restaurants demand it and will take no other 

 when they can get this one. 



It is prolific. The best to grow for profit; the best for table; the 

 best for restaurant; what more can we say. Commission men fight 

 for the chance to sell them, the buyer fights for the chance to buy 

 them, the public fights for the chance to eat them. AEE SWEET 

 should have been its name, but it gets its name from the farm where 

 it originated. Price, i ounce, 20 cents; ^ pound, 65 cents; i 

 pound, $2.50. 



Sweeney's Extra Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage 



This cabbage has been grown by Mr. Harry B. Sweeney for a number 

 of years, In size and shape it is very similar to our SELECT EARLY 

 JERSEY WAKEFIELD, possibly not quite so large, but nearly so. 



It matures a week or 



ten days sooner than 

 that variety, and the 

 whole crop is ready 



Farr's White Bush Squash 



This type of White Bush Squash has long been recognized as the earliest squash on the market. 

 Mr. Charles N. Farr and his farnily have been perfecting this squash for years. We cannot recom- 

 mend it too high. We feel that if you want earliness and beauty you cannot go astray in buying 

 this stock. The earliest squash that have come to this market from local gardeners for the past 

 fifteen years have been from this stock. Fine in appearence of light green color. Packet, 10 

 cents; J4 pound, 20 cents; i pound, 60 cents. 



CURLED LONG SEASON SPINACH 



A Spinach that is curled like the old standard sort, the Bloomsdale Savoy Spinach, 

 yet much more vigorous in growth, larger and very handsome. It stands the hot 

 summer heat, and yet has tender succulent leaves and intense dark green color — is 

 bound to make this Spinach a leader. It is positively the best Spinach to be grown 

 in the spring and summer. All who tried it last year are asking for more for the 

 coming season. Packets, 5 and 10 cents; % pound, 15 cents; i pound, 25 cents; 

 25 pounds, $5.00.
