VEGETABLE SEEDS 



Beckert's Specialties and New Selections in Vegetable Seeds 



NEW GOLDEN PLUME CELERY 



A noteworthy variety, said to have htcii produced by crossing Golden Si ll-BIaiieliinp and White Plume. 

 It closely resembles Golden Sell'-Blanehin<; but matures a little earlier and blanilies inori' readily. More- 

 over, it seems to be [particularly resistant to Celery diseases, comparing favorably in this respect and in 

 all-around reliability with Easy-Blanching. Golden Plume has a large, solid heart vvhieh blanches to a 

 beautiful yellow. Market-gardeners who have had trouble with Golden Self-Blanching should try Beckert's 

 strain of Golden Plume; they will find it a sure, profitable Celery under all conditions. Pkt. 25 cts., }/ioz. 

 $1.50, i/zoz. $2.75, oz. $5.00. 



BECKERT'S PERFECTION PEA 



The most productive Pea ever developed and one of the 

 finest in quality. A semi-dwarf, main-crop variety, growing 

 232 fe'ct tall on rich soil, with strong vines which bear truly 

 immense crops of broad pods, 432 inches long, filled with large, 

 bright green Peas of delicious flavor. Maturing with Potlatch 

 and ahead of Alderman and Telephone, it is the ideal variety 

 to plant to follow Gradus or Laxtonian. On account of its 

 enormous yields and big, attractive pods, we predict that 

 Beckert's Perfection will become the most popular of all main- 

 crop Peas for both home- and market-garden. Pkt. 15 cts., 

 i/zlb. 25 cts., lb. 45 cts., 2 lbs. 85 cts., 5 lbs. $1.85.

HARRIS' 

 EARLIEST 

 PEPPER 



Where the seasons are 

 short, this is the only 

 large-fruited Pepper which 

 can be relied upon to pro- 

 duce a good crop. The 



Clants are rather dwarf 

 ut carry great quantities 

 of fine sweet Peppers, 

 earlier than Neapolitan 

 and almost as large. We 

 recommend Harris' Earli- 

 est to all who have not 

 been able to mature Pep- 

 pers heretofore. Pkt. 

 15 cts., 3<40z. 25 cts., oz. 

 85 cts. 



NEW ACORN or TABLE QUEEN 

 SQUASH 



The "last word" in Squash quality, and a variety 

 which we believe will make Squash popular in gardens 

 where it has never before been grown. The fruits are 

 rather small and shaped somewhat like an acorn, being 

 5 to 6 inches long and 4 inches in diameter, with smooth 

 very dark green skin and thick orange flesh which cooks 

 as dry and sweet as a Sweet Potato. To make up for 

 the small size of the fruits, the vines are remarkably 

 prolific. Table Queen Squash cut in half and baked for 

 twenty minutes will provide a brand-new and most 

 delicious dish. Excellent for pies and keeps as well as 

 Hubbard. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 30 cts., }4\h. 85 cts. 



Ostrich-plume type, this is 

 the finest Mus- 

 tard for salads 

 and garnishing. 

 The plants 

 are rather 

 dwarf, with 

 beautifully 

 curled leaves 

 of mild appe- 

 tizing flavor. 

 Stands longer 

 before going 

 to seed than 

 any other 

 Mustard. 

 Pkt. 10 cts., 

 oz. 12 cts., 

 3^4 lb. 35 cts.
