The Most Satisfactory Vegetable 

 Varieties for Table Use 



E are so very often asked what varieties of vegetables we would recommend 

 for the home-garden that we do not feel it out of place to list herewith 

 those sorts which our experience has proven best. Many varieties as 

 hsted in this catalog are not famous for their quahty, having made their 

 place largely as profitable sorts to grow for market purposes, when, of 

 course, appearance counts above everything else. 

 These are the vegetable varieties recommended for amateur growing: 



ASPARAGUS, S. S. Giant Green. 



BEANS, Fordhook (Bush Lima), King of the Garden (Pole Lima), Green-podded, Wax- 

 podded, S. S. Giant Stringless, S. S. Round-pod Kidney Wax, or Sure-Crop Stringless. 

 BEET, Early Wonder, Detroit Dark Red, and New Century Late. 



CABBAGE, Early Jersey Wakefield, Copenhagen Market, Danish Ballhead (Late), and 



Pe-Tsai Chinese (Novehy). 

 CARROT, Danvers Half-Long. 

 CAULIFLOWER, Early SnowbalL 



CELERY, Golden Self-blanching, Sutton's Prize Pink, and Late Winter King. 



SWEET CORN, Golden Bantam, Double-barreled Best, and Country Gentleman (Late). 



CUCUMBER, S. S. White Spine. 



ENDIVE, Broad-leaved Batavian. 



LETTUCE, G. L. Big Boston (Head), All Seasons (Midsummer), Salamander (Fall), and 



Grand Rapids (Leaf). 

 MUSKMELON, Sugar-Sweet, and S. S. Salmon-fleshed. 

 WATERMELON, Kleckley Sweet. 



ONION, Yellow Globe Danvers and Yellow Strasburg (for sets). 



PEAS, Extra-Early, Little Marvel, Thos. Laxton, Gradus, and Sutton's Excelsior.

PARSLEY, Market-Gardeners' Best. 



PEPPER, Ruby Giant (Sweet) and Red Chili (Hot). 



RADISH, Scarlet Globe, Snow-White Box, Long White Icicle, Sparkler White-Tip, and 



White Chinese (Late). 

 SPINACH, Bloomsdale Savoy. . 'vi!.. 



SQUASH, S. S. White Bush and S. S. Green Hubbard.*' ' 

 TOMATO, Bonny Best (Early) and Greater Baltimore (Late). 

 TURNIP, S. S. Purple-Top White Globe and S. S. Yellow Rutabaga. 



We would call attention to one other point. Many amateur gardeners content 

 themselves with a half-dozen vegetables or so, fearing it is impossible to be successful 

 with more. In this connection we would particularly urge you to broaden your list so as 

 to include some of the above, for we are frank to admit it is only the more ambitious 

 who attempt them. We refer particularly to such vegetables as Asparagus, Celery, 

 Cucumber, Eggplant, Muskmelons, Watermelons, and Spinach.
