 tip burn. Pkt. I'Sc; jA oz. 40c; oz. 7Sc; % lb. $2.80. 



445 Lettuce, Sloboit 



[is days. This new loose-leaf or cutting lettuce devel- 

 d by the U.S.D.A. resembles Grand Rapids in attractive 

 earance and choice quality but the large mass of 



bly fringed and serrated foliage is slower to go to 



d than other cutting lettuce. Should be in every garden.

Squash, Butternut 



797 Radish. Saxa 



22 days. A most attractive bright 

 red radish with pure white flesh of 

 icy crispness. Forms perfect 

 spheres of ^^-inch roots and has 

 exceptionally small foliage. A 

 splendid variety for early spring 

 or late fall sowing, and well known 

 for its excellent forcing qualities. 

 It is as tasty as it looks. Pkt. 10c; 

 oz. 25c; Ji lb. 70c. 



881 Squash, Butternut 



85 days. A winter squash of 

 unique shape and quality, delicious 

 for pies, and superb for baking 

 and boiling. The thick bottle- 

 shaped fruits are 10 to 12 inches 

 long and measure 4 to 5 inches 

 across at the base. The smooth 

 golden-brown skin covering the 

 hard shell encloses a most delicious, 

 fine-textured, dry, sweet, yellow 

 flesh. The picture shows just how 

 little waste there is to this new 

 variety. Pkt. 15c; oz. 50c; K lb. 

 $1.80; lb. $6.00. 



947 Tomato, Variant 



70 days. There is, in our opinion, no other early tomato that can 

 ompare with Valiant for use in the home garden. It already has 

 •ractically displaced the JuUana type as it is only three days later 

 nd the fruits are not only larger but also rounder and heavier. In 

 lur trials it has proved not only early but also a consistent bearer 

 [ properly fertilized and protected against diseases and pests. Because 

 he foliage is somewhat small it is best grown on trellises or stakes, 

 'kt. 15c; y2 oz. 55c; oz. $1.00; % lb. $3.65.
