451 NEW HAMPSHIRE HYBRID 
(New) 
Particularly well adapted to the North- 
ern States where the growing season 
is too short to mature the standard 
varieties. The plants are of a rather 
spreading habit of growth, and produce 
a large number of fruits which are oval 
in shape, and of a dark purple color. 
In size the fruits are considerably larger 
than Garden Prolific, and although 
somewhat smaller than Black Beauty, 
are large enough for market purposes. 
The fruits are ready for use a little 
later than Garden Prolific, but much 
earlier than Black Beauty and other 
standard varieties. Because of its 
earliness and productiveness, New 
Hampshire Hybrid is an ideal variety 
for home use, or Northern markets. 
Price, pkt., 25c; 5 pkts., $1.00. 
447 GARDEN PROLIFIC 
Refined in Size and Quality. 
The plants are vigorous and produce an 
abundance of medium-sized bell-shaped 
fruits which are of a very dark purplish- 
black color. Although the fruits are 
smaller than Black Beauty, many more 
fruits are produced per plant. Garden 
Prolific is a very desirable variety for 
the home gardener, especially in sec- 
tions where the growing season is short,
