CORN 
MANNS’ EARLY SUPERIOR — This new variety is of 
remarkable size considering its earliness. The ears are 8 
inches long and have 16 to 20 rows of rather narrow deep 
grains. The quality is excellent and the attractive appear- 
ance of the rich, tender, well-filled ears make it a very 
desirable sort for the Market Gardener. Qt., 30c; pk., $1.50; 
bu., $5.00. 
MANNS’ No. 56—The best, largest, most saleable early 
market corn we have ever known. It can be planted ex- 
tremely early without danger of rotting, which makes it pos- 
sible to produce marketable ears at least five weeks ahead of 
Stowell’s Evergreen. Resembles sugar corn, an excellent 
shipper and a money maker. Qt., 35c; pk., $2.00; bu., $6.00. 
PARSLEY 
GREENCASTLE—We first offered this in limited quanti- 
ties in 1933 and customers who tried it have already ordered 
sufficient for their entire 1934 requirements. In our trials 
we found it far superior in color, size, uniformity and yield 
to any other curled stocks. Pkt., 10c; 14 lb., 30c; Ib., $1.00; 
10 Ibs., $8.50.

RUTABAGA 
NEW CANADIAN—Grown for a number of years in the 
North and held very closely by private individuals, the seed 
of this variety has always been extremely difficult to procure 
in a true and reliable type. After three years of searching 
and checking in our trial grounds, we have found the correct 
strain and offer it with every assurance that it will soon 
become the only Rutabaga grown in this section. Pkt., 10c; 
0z., 15c; %4 lb., 40c; Ib., $1.25.

strain of Bonny Best has become a favorite among large 
growers for the early market. It is truly so superior to 
the ordinary stocks that it might rightfully be considered a 
new variety. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; %4 Ib., 75c; Ib., $2.50. 
MANNS’ SPECIAL MARGLOBE—This well known variety 
has been subjected to so many varying conditions and de- 
grees of care in the matters pertaining to seed production 
that ordinary commercial stocks of it are far below the 
standard of the late Dr. Pritchard’s original introduction. 
By using extreme care in rogueing, however, we have main- 
tained the true Marglobe type, which is far superior to 
ordinary commercial stocks. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 40c; %4 lb., $1.35; 
Ib., $5.00.

sprouts develop, forming smaller heads which are also mar- 
ketable. Broccoli is becoming very popular, commanding 
in the All 
The midwest market garden strain—true
