Novelties and Specialties in Vegfetstbles 



For Market Gardeners and Truckers 



This list contains, in more condensed form and at wholesale prices, 

 the same seeds described in our retail catalogue or Garden and Farm 

 Manual, a copy of which will be mailed to you in January, 1912. We 

 illustrate here, by photographic reproduction, only our Leading Special- 

 ties for Market Gardeners, in order to thus more forcibly draw your 

 attention to them. Among them you will, no doubt, find many varieties 

 you have never tried, and for which we would urge you to send us at 

 least a trial order, as we believe our special strains of many of the 

 newer varieties will make them as profitable to you as they have been to 

 thousands of others. 



While laying particular stress upon the newer varieties, we are 

 very particular with our regular strains of standard old sort varie- 

 ties, that perhaps have been your favorites and stand=bysfor years.

 Philadelphia's most successful market

A??ewBean— the Full Measure 



In the Full Measure we have

 both of these famous Beans. The 

 pods are often 5 to 5>^ inches long,
