TRIANON SELF-FOLDING COS 

 OR ROMAINE LETTUCE 



The ideal hot weather lettuce, for, when all the true head 

 Lettuces go on strike, and burst with seed stalks, the Cos Lettuces 

 come into their own and among them the Trianon Self-folding 

 variety is one of the choicest for the home garden. Sown at the 

 same time as the head Lettuces, this variety perfects compact, 

 upright, tightly folded cones within sixty days of sowing the seeds. 

 It folds of its own accord, no tying being required, and inside 

 leaves bleach naturally to a most attractive greenish white. It is 

 an ideal Lettuce for sowing again during June for use during 

 August when regular head Lettuces will not form solid plants. 

 Because of its compact, upright growth, it may be planted in 

 rows 18 inches apart, with the plants four inches apart in the 

 row. This is the variety so extensively served in the best Hotels 

 and restaurants under the name of Romaine. It is best served 

 with a French dressing. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz , 35 cts.; i lb., $1.00. 



HONEY DEW MELON 



Unlike the ordinary muskmelon or cantaloupe both in appear- 

 ance and flavor, the outer skin being smooth, hard and nearly 

 white, being really of the Casawba type. The melons are large, 

 round to oval in shape, extremely thick meated and have a very 

 small seed cavity; flesh is light green, very solid and of a rich 

 honey-like flavor, luscious and juicy, much more so than any 

 variety of muskmelon. It is an excellent keeping melon and fruits 

 may be laid away for use late in the fall when they will be greatly 

 appreciated, not only for their delightful flavor, but because the 

 other varieties of melons are gone. On account of the hard shell 

 it is an excellent shipper, carrying safely for long distances without 

 being bruised or damaged in any manner. It is suitable for grow- 

 ing in all places of equal latitude to Philadelphia and the West, 

 including California, but we do not recommend it for planting in 

 the New England States, or locations where the growing season is 

 short. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; i lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 



PRIZETAKER ONION 



The large size and handsome appearance of this Onion makes it 

 equally desirable for the home garden or for market. It is strictly 

 "fancy," and is sold on fruit stands during the fall, as "Spanish" 

 Onion. The true Prizetaker Onion is globe-shape, has pale yellow 

 skin and white flesh, which- is very mild and of pleasantly pungent 

 flavor. Large Onions are grown the first year provided seeds are 

 sown very early in the spring. Where extra large specimen bulbs 

 for exhibition purposes are wanted, seeds should be sown under 

 glass in February, to be transplanted into rich soil outdoors as 

 soon as the weather permits. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; i lb., 

 $1.00; lb., $3.00. 



LAXTONIAN PEA 



The ideal variety for the small home garden where space is at 

 a premium. Laxtonian grows but 18 inches high, but the vines 

 are exceedingly vigorous and produces the largest pods of any 

 extra early sort. Pods average 4 inches long and are uniformly 

 well filled with 8 deep green, large peas, of delightful flavor. Ready 

 for gathering within 70 days from the time seeds are sown, and 

 since it is quite hardy it may be planted about the same time as 

 the still hardier smooth-seeded varieties. Pkt., 10 cts., postpaid. 

 Lb., 50 cts.; 2 lbs., 90 cts.; 10 lbs., $4.00. 



CARDINAL GLOBE RADISH 



Among quite a number of the little round red Radishes available, 

 this is easily one of the most dependable in that it perfects uni- 

 formly handsome round globes within 30 to 35 days from sowing 

 seeds. The radishes when overgrown show a tendency to become 

 slightly elongated or olive-shaped, but they remain in fit con- 

 dition for use about a week or ten days longer than the average 

 extra early, round red variety. It is a most attractive Radish, 

 of brilliant cardinal red color, with pure white flesh, of delicate 

 crispness and delightful flavor. Equally useful for growing under 

 glass in frames or greenhouses as well as for early outdoor sowing. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; i lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.75. 



ICICLE RADISH 



Were we obliged to get along with just one variety of Radish, 

 it would be Icicle. Not only are the long slender white roots 

 developed quickly, but they remain in perfect condition for eating 

 longer than those of any other early Radish regardless of color 

 or shape. Moreover, Icicle is as good during July or August as 

 earlier in the season. In this respect it is unique, since most early 

 Radishes do not stand summer heat. Icicle is ready for use within 

 40 days after seeds are sown and remains in good condition for the 

 best part of two weeks after obtaining full average size, which is 

 five inches long by f of an inch thick through at the top. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 20cts.; i lb,, 60 cts.; lb., $2.00. 



SELECTED STONE TOMATO 



Though introduced nearly a quarter century ago, Stone has 

 held its own against all newcomers in the field and is more widely 

 grown today than all other varieties in cultivation. Nine-tenths 

 of all the Tomatoes canned in the United States are of this variety. 

 The reasons for this popularity are chiefly found in Stone's utter 

 dependability under various climatic and soil conditions. It 

 always bears handsome crops of large, solid, scarlet crimson fruits 

 averaging from 6 to 8 ounces each. The fruits are almost round, 

 always smooth, ripen evenly at the stem 

 end, are very solid and firm of flesh, with 

 small seed cavities. It is the housewife's ^^ 



delight to put it into cans, and whether W^ i 



eaten in soups, stewed or '^Bt 



sliced, the meac is of that de- ^^ 



lightful flavor which always / 



calls for a second help- 

 ing. Pkt., 10 cts.; i ,. 4- 

 oz., 25 cts.; oz., 40 

 cts.; i lb.,. $1.00. 



Well-Grown Cos or Romaine Lettuce 

 Should be an indispensable summer delicacy
