BROCCOLI 



(See page 10) 

 GREEN SPROUTING OR TURNIP SALAD BROCCOLI— 



Is marketed as shown in the accompanying illustration. It 

 yields an extremely early crop of delicious "greens" from 

 seed sown in the early fall. M lb., 35c; lb., $1.25. 



CANTALOUPE 



JASPER — A local green-fleshed strain now very popular in 

 Anne Arundel County (Md.) as an early shipping variety of 

 good quality, shape more elongated than Bottomly, earlier 

 and somewhat shorter than Long John. Seed saved from 

 strictly true full sized fruits. Oz., 15c; % lb., 35c; lb., $1.25. 



CARROT 



CHANTENAY (Long) — This longer type of Chantenay, also 

 named Oregon, etc., has practically replaced the original 

 Chantenay. Manns' strain is smooth, of deep color, has good 

 bunching tops and is as early as the half-long Chantenay. 

 We strongly recommend this carrot for early sowings to be 

 followed with Manns' Sunrise for later crops. % lb., 25c; 

 lb., 85c; 10 lbs., $7.50. 



SUNRISB; — A favorite with market garden trade because 

 of its fine quality, perfect shape and attractive color. 

 Specially valuable for medium and late use, an excellent 

 keeper and thoroughly dependable. Oz., 15c; % lb., 30c; lb., 

 $1.00; 10 lbs., $8.50. 



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., $1.75; 

 bn., $6.00. 



MANNS' No. 56 — The best, largest, most saleable early 

 market corn we ever have known. It can be planted ex- 

 tremely early without danger of rotting, which- makes it 

 possible 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. 



HYBRID CORN 



Every market gardener should now "get wise" to hybrid 

 corn if he has not already done so. The increased yield of 

 handsome, prime quality ears assures far greater profits 

 than is possible with regular varieties. The crop matures 

 uniformly and can therefore be cut in large quantities at 

 one time. (See pages 16 and 17.) 



CUCUMBER 



STRAIGHT 8— An "All American" Gold Medal Winner of 

 1934. Symmetrical fruits, well rounded at both ends, regu- 

 larly eight inches long and from 1% to 2 inches in diameter; 

 deep green without pale stripes or tips. Vines vigorous 

 and remarkably productive. Originator's stock. Oz., 25c; 

 % lb., 45c; lb., $1.50. 



CHINESE CABBAGE 



CHIHILI (or Improved Pekin) — A longer and more slender 

 type than Wong Bok, rapidly becoming popular in New York 

 and Washington markets. Of excellent quality and should 

 be more generally grown. (See page 14.) 



CAULIFLOWER 



Cauliflower — Manns' Sure Heading Strains can be as easily 

 grown as cabbage. (See page 14.) 



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; 

 oz., 20c; ^ lb., 50c; lb., $1.50. 



PARSLEY 



GREEN CASTLE— An extremely hardy, late or main crop 

 market gardeners variety which grows rather slowly early, 

 but is tall, densely curled and can be depended upon as the 

 most profitable Parsley for fall and winter crop. Oz., 15c; 

 % lb., 20c; lb., 60c; 10 lbs., $5.00,
