A.A.S. Gold Medal 19S2 
Tremendous Yields — Smooth Deep Green Pods — Fine Flavor

round pods average 6 inches in length. They are slender, and a 
pleasing shade of dark green. The plants are taller than Tender- 
green and carry the pods well off the ground. Resistance to 
common bean mosaic and powdery mildew make it a most dependable variety, and 
it will yield tremendous crops. 50 days. Pkt. 25c ; ' 2 lb. 55c ; lb. $1 ; 5 lbs. $4.75

A.A.S. Gold Medal 19S2 
One Head Fills a Salad Bowl with a Perfect Rosette of 
Rich Dark Green Leaves. 
Salad Bowl was recommended by the 
judges exclusively for home-garden use. _ ^ L J 
The leaves are too tender and dainty for 
commercial shipping. It is a loose-leaf 
variety, and the prettiest of them all. 
It stands the sun better than the popular 
Oakleaf variety; it is a faster and larger 
grower and much slower to bolt to seed. 
The leaves are short and closely set. They 
hold their quality, tenderness and fine tex- 
ture over a long period. Developed by 
Dr. Ross Thompson. Pkt. 25c; 3 pkts. 65c

TOMATO • 895 QUEENS 
A New Early Variety by the Originator of Rutgers 
Professor Lyman G. Schmerhorn of the New Jersey Agricultural 
Experiment Station developed Queens from a cross between Valiant 
and Rutgers. The result is a very productive early variety with 
smooth, deep globe-shaped fruits with an average weight of 5 ounces. 
The fruit has thick outer walls and inner walls with small seed 
cavities, and thus retains a firm, prime quality for a long time. The 
flavor is exceptionally pleasing, with the perfect blend of sharpness 
and sweetness. Pkt. 25c; 3 pkts. 65c
