CURRIE BROTHERS COMPANY, MILWAUKEE, WIS. 



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. 



BEET 



Our new type. Early Wonder, is a type somewhat like Cros- 

 by's Egyptian but more globe shaped. It is one of the finest 

 for the home garden. Currie's Fireball and Crimson Globe 

 are also very fine garden varieties. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c. 



BEAXS 

 By far the finest bush wax bean is our Currie's Rust 

 Proof Wax. For 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 absolutelv 

 stringless and very fleshy. Pkt. 10c; lb. 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; lb. 60c. 



POLE BEANS 



The most popular variety of this class of running beans 

 is the Kentucky Wonder or Old Homestead. Their vines 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 

 good 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; 

 !«. 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 

 varieties. We therefore, offer Currie's Disease-Resistant 

 Hollander Cabbage which is a strain introduced by the Uni- 

 vprsity of Wisconsin after many years of experirhenting 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. In anv 

 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: V2 oz. SOc. 



CAULIFLOWER 



Currie's Danish Market Cauliflower or Drv Weather — This 

 variety is about 3 weeks later than our Early Snowball. Our 

 stock of this strain ha.<; no equal. Every plant produces a 

 head, many of them so large that .''. will "fill a bushel-basket 



and all perfectly solid. As the name Implies, the Dry Weather 

 does wonderfully well in dry or hot sections. We especially 

 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 crlsp- 

 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 ti'rn to starch shortly 

 after the ear is picked and in 24 hours ar. least 50% has been 

 lost. By far the most popular variety is 'he Golden Bantam. 

 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. Pkt. 10c; V. lb. SOc; lb. 50c. 



For the late or main crop, Stowell's Evergreen is still the 

 favorite, although Bantam Evergreen is coming into favor. 

 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 Pt the same 

 time as Stowell's Evergreen. Pkt. 10c; % lb. SOc; lb. 50c. 



CUCUMBER 



The finest pickling variety is Currie's Milwaukee Pickle. 

 For productiveness it is unequalled and the quality of the 

 fruit is the very best. We cannot speak too highly of Its 

 merits. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c. 



For a larger Cucumber to be used for slicing, etc., the Davis 

 Perfect is unequalled in quality, shape and color for forcing 

 indoors or for outside growing. The color is a dark, glossy 

 green, averaging in length from S to 12 inches. Pkt. 10c; 

 oz. 20c. 



For greenhouse forcing, Currie's Jlilwaukee Forcing is un- 

 excelled. The extensive growing of Cucumbers under glass 

 has developed a new type of almost perfect characteristics. 

 The fruits average about IS inches in length when fully 

 grown and are almost spineless and are of a deep green color. 

 Our seed is saved from selected greenhouse grown fruits only. 

 Pkt. 25c. 



EGG PLANT 



A beautiful and delicious vegetable. Sow in hotbeds or In 

 boxes in the house in March. Plant outside in June after the 

 ground is warm. They should be planted about 2'/A ft. apart. 

 Black Beauty is the most popular variety. The fruits are 

 large with rich, glossy, purplish-black color. Pkt. 10c. 



ENDIVE 



Excellent salad for fall and winter use. Endive takes the 

 place of lettuce after frost. Frost takes the bitterness out of 

 the bleached heads of endive. The heads are bleached by 

 tying up shortly before used. Large Green Curled is the 

 favorite. Broad Leaved Batavian is a great favorite with the 

 TtaliMns. It is uaed much in soups and stews. Pkt. 10c: oz. 20c. 



KOHLRABI 



Early White Vienna is the favorite variety. The flesh Is 

 white and tender and should be used before they become too 

 large as they are only palatable when small. "They may be 

 planted as close as 4 inches apart in the garden for an early 

 crop. The seed can be started in hotbeds and transplanted In 

 tlie garden when weather is suitable. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c. 



LEEK 



For soups and stews. The flavor of Leek is much finer than 

 Onion and all home gardens should have a few of them. The 

 I-arge American Flag Is the finest. Pkt. 10c.
