 ment on the well-known Danvers. It is broad at the 

 neck and gradually narrows down to a blunt, pointer 

 base. In color, it is attractive bright orange. The

BEET

 new beet which is a selection of Detroit Dark Red 

 and is an excellent variety for home and market use.

 Its uniform rounded, medium early roots and rich 

 color are especially desirable in a canning beet. 1 oz.,

CABBAGE 



CURRIE'S EARLY MARKET— An excellent pointed

 we find it earlier, besides having a much larger and 

 finer head with few loose outside leaves. In form, the 

 head is conical. This Danish production is highly 

 praised by all who have grown it. For home use, its 

 fine quality and tenderness will be greatly appre- 

 ciated. It has no coarse veins and leaves, and also has 

 the quality of some of the best sorts of hardening 

 the head before it has attained its full size. Oz., 40c;

LETTUCE 



BIG BOSTON (Currie's Selected Stock)— This vari- 

 ety is considered by many market gardeners to be 

 the finest head lettuce in existence. It forms large 

 compact heads with few outside leaves and stands a 

 long time before bolting to seed. The color of the

 on margins of outer leaves. Oz., 25c; V^ lb., 50c;

 ping and keep a long time without wilting. 1 oz.,

ONION 



CURRIE'S EXTRA YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS— 



The largest cropper and best shape of any Yellow 

 Onion at present on the market. It is saved from 

 Picked Bulbs only, which for color and keeping qual-

 this is a prize-winning variety. Robust, compact

 to run to seed and may be groviTi in pots or window 

 boxes. Oz., 25c; V* lb., 50c; lb., $1.50 Pkt. 10c
