EGGPLANT - 



Imperial Black Beauty 



Rich, handsome fruits. Phomopsis-free. A very profitable strain 



Days to maturity, 115. Loss from the organisms of Phomopsis Rot has been seri- 

 ous in many districts. The disease sometimes comes from infected soil, but unless the 

 grower starts with disease-free seed he takes unnecessary risk. Our Imperial strain 

 has been grown under conditions that make us morally certain that the seed is free 

 from these organisms. Customers in the Lower Rio Grande Valley have experienced 

 unusual results with this excellent strain of Black Beauty. 



Price, Postpaid: Pkt. 10 ots.; oz. 35 cts.; V^b. $1.25. 



New York Special 



Early. Heavy -yielding. Black, glossy color 



Days to maturity, 125. Growers who are in search of what is probably the very finest 

 strain of New York Improved can plant this stock with the assurance that comes with 

 over ten-years' personal selection. The conscientious work that has been done is re- 

 sponsible for a heavier and earlier yield and a richer and deeper color, combined with a 

 greater resistance to wilt and other diseases. The distinguished heredity of the strain 

 will be immediately recognized by experienced growers.
