BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
The Sprouts resembling miniature Cabbages, are produced 
in the axils of the leaves. To promote a perfect growth of 
Sprouts, the leaves should be cut off as close to the stem as 
convenient as the Sprouts are forming. The Improved Danish 
is very fine. Pkt. 10c; oz. 50c.,

for the home garden. Currie’s Fireball and Crimson Globe 
are also very fine garden varieties. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c. 
: BEANS 
; By_far the finest bush wax bean is our Currie’s Rust 
Proof Wax. Tor many years this has been a standard sort 
of nation-wide popularity and is still surpassed by none. One 
of the best green podded bush beans is the Stringless Green 
Pod. The pod is round, medium in length and absolutely 
stringless and very fleshy. Pkt. 10c; 1b. 40c. 
LIMA BEANS 
Lima Beans do not receive the attention in our state that 
they deserve. They should be sown late when the ground is 
thoroughly warm. If sown too early the seed rots. We rec- 
ommend the Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima as the largest, 
earliest and best of all the dwarf limas. Pkt. 20c; 1b. 60c. 
POLE BEANS 
The most popular variety of this class of running beans 
is the Kentucky Wonder or Old Homestead. Their v'nes are 
literally covered with pods from top to bottom. They grow 
very large and when cooked are most tender and delicious. 
Pkt. 10c; lb. 50c. 
CARROT 
Chantenay is the market gardeners’ and the private gar- 
deners’ choice. It is an early, very productive, half-long, 
stump-rooted variety, smooth-skinned. fine in appearance and 
entirely coreless. It is sweet and tender and also a very 
g00d keeper for winter use. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c. 
CHINESE OR CELERY CABBAGE 
One of the finest salad vegetables is this tall, slender, tight- 
heading perfectly bleached head of crisp and tender leaves. 
Do not sow early or it has a tendency to run to seed during 
the hot weather. Sow in good soil from the 1st of July to 
the 1st of August about 15 inches apart in the row. Pkt. 10c; 
4% OZ. 25c. 
CABBAGE 
In many fields where Cabbages have been grown for years, 
they have developed a disease called the ‘‘Yellows” or “Yel- 
low Rot’ and it is practically impossible to grow regular 
arieties. We therefore, offer Currie’s Disease-Resistant 
Hollander Cabbage which is a strain introduced by the Uni- 
versity of Wiscons’n after many years of experimenting on 
diseased Cabbage soil. We have seen many fields in which 
the disease wrecked ordinary Cabbages where a few test 
rows of Disease-Resistant have grown perfectly. JIn any 
field where Cabbages have not done well] in the last few 
years, try some Disease-Resistant and the results will be sur- 
prising. Pkt. 25c; % oz. 80c. 
CAULIFLOWER 
Currie’s Danish Market Cauliflower or Dry Weather—This 
variety is about 3 weeks later than our Early Snowball. Our 
stock of this str®in has no equal. Every plant produces a 
head, many of them so large that 3 will fill a bushel-basket

recommend it. Pkt. 25c. 
CELERY 
Celery is easily grown and a small packet will produce a 
good sized crop. Golden Self Blanching. true French grown 
stock, is one of the finest and easiest varieties to grow. It 
requires very little earthing up to bleach. It is a beautiful, 
golden-yellow color and is unsurpassed in flavor and crisp- 
ness. Pkt. 15c. 
CORN 
In order to get the real taste of Sweet Corn it should be 
picked fresh from the plant and eaten in the course of a few 
hours as the sugar contents begin to turn to starch shortly 
after the ear is picked and in 24 hours at least 50% has heen 
lost. By far the most popular variety is the Golden Biuntam. 
This is so well known now that description is unnecessary, 
It is one of the early varieties and can be reseeded several 
times during the season. PkKt. 10¢c;: % Ib. 30c; Ib. 5c. 
For the late or main crop. Stowell’s Evergreen is still the 
favorite, although Bantam Evergreen is coming into favors 
Bantam Evergreen is a cross between the Stowell's Evergreen 
and the Golden Bantam, having the yellow color and the 
sweetness of the Golden Bantam, but maturing at the same 
time as Stowell’s Evergreen. Pkt. 10c; % Ib. 30c; Ib. 50c.
