EGGPLANT 



Imperial Black Beauty. Days to maturitv. 

 110-125. To the grower seeking the very finest 

 strain available of Black Beauty Eggplant we 

 especially refer you to the full description and 

 illustration to be found on page 17. This 

 Imperial strain is grown for us privately under 

 conditions that remove much of the danger o( 

 phomopsis rot. Price: Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 45 cts.; 

 iilb. S1.40; lb. S4.75; 5 lbs., S4.50 per lb. 



Florida High-Bush. Days to maturitv, 115- 

 130. The fruits of this variety are supported on 

 a much higher vine than Black Beauty, a 

 feature which is especially desirable in wet 

 seasons as most of the fruits are suspended 

 above the ground. As its name would indicate, 

 it is particularly popular in Florida and the 

 Gulf States, where it seems to be more resistant 

 to disease than Black Beauty. In shape it is 

 slightly longer and more oval than that variety. 

 Price: Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 45 cts.; Mlb. S1.40; lb. 

 S4.75; 5 lbs., S4.50 per lb. 



New York Purple (Spineless). Days to ma- 

 turity, 125-135. The popularity of this variet \ 

 is no doubt due to its heavy yielding chara< - 

 teristic. Often from 4 to 6 handsome fruits an 

 grown on one plant, and these are slightly 

 larger and of deeper color than Black Beauty. 

 The flesh is firm, medium, and of excellent 

 quality. Plant is spineless, with large bright 

 foliage Price: Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 45 cts.; Hlh.

 early maturing, productive Eggplant develop- 

 ing fruits about 8 inches long with a diameter of

 times referred to as Italian Long Purple. Price: 

 Pkt. 15 cts.; oz. 45 cts.; Hib. Sl.40; lb. $4.75; 

 5 lbs., S4.50 per lb.

Green Curled. Days to maturity, 100. Our

 yellow. Price: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; Mlb. 

 30 cts.; lb. SI; 5 lbs., 90 cts. per lb. 



ESCAROLE 



Stokes Deep Heart. Day to maturity, 90-100. 

 This is a distinct and greatly improved variety 

 of Escarole, and, to the best of our knowledge, 

 we are the only firm offering it in this country. 

 Its early maturity, combined with the fact that 

 the leaf is broader than the Batavian, has 

 given it an important place. For further des- 

 cription, see page 17. Price: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 

 20 cts.; JXIb. 45 cts.; lb. S1.50; 5 lbs., S1.40

Broad-leaved Batavian. Days to maturity, 

 90-100. The standard, well-known variety. 

 Its broad leaves are twisted and hardy, of a 

 brilliant green color, with nearly white midribs, 

 and blanch easily if tied. The head will average 

 15 inches in diameter. It is crisp and tender in 

 quality. Price: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; Hlh. 

 30 cts.; lb. SI; 5 lbs., 90 cts. per lb. 



Curled Scotch. Like collards, 

 is of the genus Brassica. It is a 

 most desirable variety and one that 

 is widely grown for greens. The plant 

 reaches a height of 3 feet, bearing 

 light green, densely curled leaves. A 

 moderate frost improves rather than 

 injures its quality. Price: Pkt. 10 cts.; 

 5 cts.; Hlb. 25 cts.; lb. 85 cts.; 5 lbs., 

 5. per lb. 



KOHLRABI 



Early White Vienna. Days to maturity, 50. 

 This well-known European strain may be used 

 either for forcing or for field cultivation. It is 

 light green, and the root is usually pulled for 

 the table when about 2 inches in diameter. Kohl- 

 rabi is a vegetable deserving of more general 

 use. Price: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts ; \,\b.

 diameter, are pure white and of tender quality.

 stitute for green onions. Price: Pkt. 10 cts.; 

 oz. 25 cts.; k'Ib. 55 cts.; lb. $1.90; 5 lbs.,

LETTUCE 



New York. Days to maturity, 80-90. The most 

 widely grown variety of all the Lettuces. 

 Leaves are slightly blistered, beautifully waved 

 at the edges, of a rich deep green color, and are 

 not brownish or tinged with color. Heads arc 

 large and symmetrical, with well-blanchcd 

 interiors. The great majority of the Lettuce 

 sold on the produce stands under the name of 

 "Iceberg" is in reality New York. A trial will 

 convince you of the merits of this excellent 

 variety. This is the identical strain planted 

 so extensively in the large Lettuce district 

 in the West. For further description and illus- 

 tration of our particular strain, see page 18. 

 Price: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; Jilb. 60 cts.; 

 lb. $2; 5 lbs., $1.85 per lb.; 25 lbs., $1.75 per lb. 



LETTUCE, continued 



White Boston. Days to maturity, 75-80. For 

 many years we sold this strain under the name 

 of "Green-leaved Big Boston." It is a selection 

 of the older Unrivaled type. Although New 

 York has taken the leading position commer- 

 cially, White Boston is still a favored variety. 

 The heads are firm and very tender, with a 

 sweet buttery flavor. For further description 

 and illustration, see page 18. Price: Pkt. 10 

 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; J^lb. 50 cts.; lb. $1.75; 5 lbs.. 

 S1.65 per lb.; 25 lbs., $1.55 per lb. 



Big Boston. Days to maturity, 75-80. This 

 well-known variety is early, hardy, and sure- 

 heading, with an interior of a rich golden yellow. 

 The variety is highly esteemed on account of 

 its sweet, delicate flavor. Its outer leaves are 

 of an attractive green color, with edges tinged 

 with brown. Big Boston is looked on as one of 

 the easiest varieties for general cultivation, 

 and often does well under adverse conditions. 

 Still planted extensively in the South. Price: 

 Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; '.ilb. 40 cts.; lb. $1.25; 

 5 lbs., $1.10 per lb.; 25 lbs., $1 per lb. 



Grand Rapids. Days to maturity, 75-80. A 

 loose-leaved Lettuce resulting from a fifteen- 

 year selection of Black-seeded Simpson. The 

 leaves are excessively blistered and crumpled 

 and slightly twisted. Color is a very light green, 

 never spotted or brownish in any part. The 

 eating quality is not outstanding as it lacks 

 sweetness and delicacy. Seed black, slow to 

 germinate. Care should be taken to see that 

 the seed is covered very lightly. Price: Pkt. 10 

 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; i^lb. 40 cts.; lb. $1.25; 5 lbs., 

 $1.10 per lb.; 25 lbs., $1 per lb. 



Iceberg. Days to maturity, 75-80. This variety 

 must not be confused with New York, which is 

 usually sold as Iceberg on the produce markets. 

 It is crisp-heading, with curled leaves tinged 

 with brown on the margins. While it forms a 

 hard head, the leaves are of thin texture, and 

 this factor limits its use largely to the home 

 garden, and it deserves a place in every 

 kitchen garden. Price: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 20 cts.; 

 '41b. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50; 5 lbs., $1.40 per lb.; 

 25 lbs., $1.25 per lb. 



Romaine or Trianon Cos. Days to maturity, 

 /5-80. We consider this the most satisfactory 

 ivpe of Romaine available. Some of our cus- 

 tomers plant it over large areas. It will form 

 compact, well-blanched, firm heads, round at 

 the top. The outside color is a rich dark green 

 and the inside a beautifully blanched golden 

 white, it is crisp and sweet. Very popular in 

 many markets. Price: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; 

 Ulb. 40 cts.; lb. $1.25; 5 lbs., $1.10 per lb.; 25 

 lbs., $1 per lb.
