Varieties of Special Merit 



OUR general stocks are unexcelled in quality 

 and better seeds cannot be purchased at 

 any price. The following recently im- 

 proved strains, however, are worthy of special 

 consideration and should be grown by every 

 progressive market gardener. 



BEANS 



ASGROW— (Stringless Black Valentine.) 

 STRINGLESS RED VALENTINE. 



Two newly developed sorts possessing profit making pos- 

 sibilities for Market Gardeners. See page 4. 



BEET 



NEW MODEL — Fills a definite need among market gar- 

 deners and has met with success. Practical growers realiz- 

 ing the superior quality of this strain are ordering in 25, 

 50 and 100-pound lots, using this one variety throughout the 

 entire season. Being entirely free from white zones, ex- 

 tremely dark, smooth, with short tops and excellent quality, 

 it always commands the highest market price. Pkt., 10c; 

 M lb., 30c; lb., $1.00. 



BORECOLE 



SUPERIOR EXTRA CURLED GREEN SCOTCH — More 

 curled than any other Borecole and yielding many more 

 bushels per acre due to its extremely vigorous growth. 

 Nearly as hardy as Hardy Winter and now very popular with 

 many of our customers. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; % lb., 60c; lb., 

 $2.00. 



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; % lb., $1.75; lb., $6.00. 



CABBAGE 



NEW SELECTED JERSEY WAKEFIELD — An improved 

 strain of Early Jersey Wakefield, grown and selected with 

 greatest care (see photo on paere 10 showing: stock seed 

 breeding). The entire crop can be gathered in one or two 

 cuttings, and practicallv everv plant makes a marketable 

 head. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c; % lb., $1.00; lb., $3.00. 



CANTALOUPE 



SUPERFECTO— An orange flesh, extremely thick meated, 

 heavy netted round sort of medium size, and very good 

 quality. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; % lb., 50c; lb., $1.50. 



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., 25c; % lb., 

 75c; lb., $2.50. 



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., $2.25; 

 bu., $8.00. 



CUCUMBER 



NEW DARK EVERGREEN— Retains its evry dark green 

 color for an exceptionally long period. Very prolific, of 

 medium size; a wonderful shipper and a profitable Market 

 Garden Variety. One of the earliest of its type. Pkt., 10c; 

 oz., 15c; Ya lb., 40c; lb., $1.25. 



LETTUCE 



Manns' Selected Scarlet Globe Radish
