Varieties of Special Merit 



OUR general stocks are unexcelled in quality and better seeds cannot be purchased at any price. The following 

 recently improved strains, however, are worthy of special consideration and should be grown by every pro- 

 gressive market gardener.

 gardeners supplying the most critical trade. A thoroughly 

 established strain, dependable year after year for its uniform
