market. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; %4 Ib., 50c; Ib., $1.75. 
CARROT 
NEW CHANTENAY—Produced from individual root se- 
lected stock, therefore a great improvement in uniformity 
of size and shape. The principal feature of this new strain, 
however, is its deep solid color. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; %4 Ib., 
40c; Ib., $1.25. 
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., 35c; pk., $2.00; 
bu., $7.50. 
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., $7.50. 
CUCUMBER 
LONGFELLOW OR STRAIGHT PACK—This variety was 
developed primarily for greenhouse culture; its quality, size 
and attractive appearance, however, have definitely estab- 
lished it as one of the best for out-door production. The 
beautiful dark green cucumbers average 12 inches in length 
and are adaptable for packing in flats for the very highest 
class trade. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; %4 Ib., 60c; lb., $2.00. 
LETTUCE 
NEW YORK SPECIAL—Ten days to two weeks earlier 
than regular New York. Slightly smaller but more uniform 
in heading and greatly resistant to excessive heat. Pkt., 10c; 
0z., 20c; %4 Ib., 60c; Ib., $2.00. 
y 
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; 
oz., 15c; %4 Ib., 40c; Ib., $1.25. 
SQUASH 
GREEN TINTED—Preferred by market gardeners by rea- 
son of true decided light green color, even when fully ma- 
tured. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; %4 lb., 40c; lb., $1.25. 
TOMATOES 
BREAK O’DAY—Ten days earlier than Marglobe. Very 
productive; promises to be very profitable Market Gardeners 
variety. See page 33. Pkt., 10c; oz. 50c; % Ib., $1.35; 
Ib., $5.00.

high quality, round or slightly flattened shape, and excep- 
tionally smooth for such an early variety. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
50c; %4 Ib., $1.50; Ib., $5.00. 
MANNS’ SPECIAL STRAIN BONNY BEST—Our special 
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., 30c; 14 lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50. 
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 
eae commercial stocks. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 40c; % Ib., $1.35; 
PEMBERTON —Different entirely from all the new cross 
breeds of the Marglobe, Break O’Day and Scarlet Topper 
types and not to be confused with any of them. Pemberton 
is a large, solid, smooth, deep oval shaped, main crop variety 
of a brilliant scarlet color all through; it yields a heavy 
crop commanding highest prices for either market or pack- 
ing house purposes. Pkt., 25c; oz., $1.00; % Ib., $3.00; Ib., 
$10.00. 
BROCCOLI 
CALABRESE GREEN SPROUTING OR HEADING — The 
accompanying illustration shows the center head of Cala- 
brese Broccoli greatly reduced. After this is cut, numerous 
sprouts develop, forming smaller heads which are also mar- 
ketable. Broccoli is becoming very popular, commanding 
high prices, and should be grown more extensively by Mary- 
land truckers. 
Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; %4 Ib. $1.50; Ib., $5.00.
