A Few Newer Varieties Worth While 

 Trying in 1925 



The varieties offered on this page have proved to be most satisfactory in our trials. Each has 

 one or more characteristics to recommend it over the older varieties, and, to make sure that they are 

 particularly brought to our customers' attention, we have combined and listed them on the first page.

 leaves. May be set quite close together. Very 

 productive. Quality excellent. Pkt. 25 cts.; 

 Koz. 80 cts.; oz. Si. 50; Xlb. S5. 



Special Snowball Cauliflower 



There seems to be innumerable strains of 

 Snowball Cauliflower, but, fortunately, we have 

 been able, through our comparative trials, to 

 select and offer to our customers a stock that is 

 second to none. This has been proven by results, 

 not only in our trials but in crops produced by 

 many of our customers. The plants are very 

 compact with but few outer leaves. Heads are 

 large, pure white, and very solid. Pkt. 25 cts.; 

 j4oz. $1. 



Barden's Wonder Bantam 

 Sweet Corn 



Imagine an ear of Corn 8 to 9 inches long with 

 10 rows of deep, buttery yellow grains having all 

 the sweet, luscious flavor of the long-famous 

 Golden Bantam, and you have drawn a mind 

 picture of Barden's Wonder Bantam. To really 

 appreciate its qualities you must grow and eat it 

 yourself. Pkt. 15 cts.; pt. 35 cts.; qt. 60 cts.; 

 2 qts. Si. 10; pk. S4. 



Golden Plume Celery 



A splendid new variety of Celery greatly

 earlier, grows taller, and is much thicker through 

 the base than that variety. Blanches very easily 

 and is unexcelled in flavor. Pkt. 25 cts.; y^oz. $1. 



Special Earliana Tomato 



A special strain kept up to the highest quality 

 by years of painstaking selection. Fruits are 

 good sized, bright red in color, solid, and gener- 

 ally free from cracks. Matures very early and is 

 exceedingly prolific. Pkt. 15 cts.; Koz. 30 cts.; 

 oz. 55 cts.; Xlb. S2.

 formed flowers. Plants are of strong sturdy

 resembles a very large Helichrysum, or Straw- 

 flower, and that may be dried and used for 

 winter bouquets. Flowers are full double and are 

 flesh-pink in color. Pkt. 20 cts. 



Extra-Early Double Cosmos 



When the late Double Cosmos were intro- 

 duced, they were enthusiastically received by all 

 flower-lovers, but, unfortunately, due to early 

 frosts, their season of bloom was comparatively 

 short. This new Extra-Early Double Cosmos 

 gives a much longer season of bloom with the 

 same double and semi-double flowers.

1211 Pink Beauty. 1213 Mixed. 



Each, pkt. 20 cts.; 1/4OZ. $1 



Dahlia-flowered Zinnias 



If you like Zinnias you will not be without this 

 variety; if you do not like Zinnias we feel sure 

 that you will like them if you will only give these 

 fine new varieties a trial. The plants are strong 

 and vigorous, thriving even under adverse con- 

 ditions. The flowers are full double (no hard 

 centers), borne on fairly long stems, and the 

 colorings leave nothing to be desired. 



Note. — For largest size blooms do not have 

 plants closer than feet.
