/ GOLDEN ROD CARROT. 



V Golden Rod Carrot 



This new carrot is an intensified Danvers, suited to both table and stock. It is a half- 

 long, stump-rooted carrot, somewhat deeper in color than Danvers and a heavier cropper. 

 The root is smooth, uniform and handsome, entirely free from core, with sweet and tender 

 flesh. It never becomes stringy nor shows rings. Highly recommended both for table use 

 and stock feeding, and especiall.y desirable for market gardeners and amateurs who wish to 

 grow something choice in quality. With ordinary good treatment Golden Rod will yield 

 close to 40 tons to the acre. Thousands of testimonials in favor of Golden Rod haVe already 

 reached me, and I am sure that it is worthy of universal trial. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 15 cents: Vi pound, 40 cents; pound, S1.25.

r CELSIOR TREE 



i 



"Excelsior Tree" Egg Plant. 



After studying and watching this unusually 

 fine egg plant for several years, I at last pro- 

 cured a stock of the seed. It is of large size and 

 extremely good shape, being particularly 

 adapted to slicing, as there is no waste of mater- 

 ial. In flavor it cannot be surpassed. The hot 

 sun does not blight the blossom, as is the case 

 with some otlier sorts. It resists drought and 

 bad weather to a wonderful degree, partly on 

 account of its strong, upright growth. It bears 

 Its eggs or fruit well above the ground, thus 

 escaping liability to rot. The fruit often meas- 

 ures 18 to 24 inches in circumference (six to eight 

 inches in diameter). No market or private 

 gardener should fail to try Excelsior Tree Egg 

 Plant this year. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 60 cts. 



A BEAUTIFUL AND DESIRABLE NEW KALE. 



Emerald l@!e. 



FRESH FROM OLD IRELAND. 



This handsome new kale is /. om the north of Ireland, a fact which (in 

 connection with its green color) makes its name highly appropriate. It 

 was originated by an expert Irish gardener, and is quite distinct from 

 any other sort. It is of medium height, with long, well-curled green 

 leaves, and is one of the handsomest kales ever developed. 



Its graceful leaves are unmarked by frost, and present a bright, 

 cheerful appearance until covered by the snows of winter. Fine con- 

 trasts can be obtained by planting' the green and purple kales in close 

 proximity to each other. 



Emerald Isle Kale is quite hardy, and will be found of great practical 

 value for both food and ornamental purposes. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts. 



Silver Anniversary 

 Lettuce. 



This new lettuce, which I first distributed in 1902, the year of nn 

 Silver Anniversary (hence its name) is certainly a winner in size, table 

 quality, heat resisting ability and commercial value. One of mj cus- 

 tomers well describes it as follows : "No more desirable or attracts e 

 lettuce has ever been produced than this one, forming dense heads of 

 yellowish green leaves that make it very conspicuous in the garden 

 The leaves are crisp, tender and juicy, and of genuine lettuce flavor 

 qualities that will re<'ommend it either for salads or garnishing. While 

 one of the earliest of the early, it endures the heat of summer as well if 

 not better, than any other variety.'^ It certainly is a valuable sort, and 

 Is bound to wia the favor of all who plant and cultivate it. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; \i pound, 60 cents; pound, S2.00.
