 iarly Crimson 

 Beet. A distinct 

 variety; the roots 

 Radish, Round Scarlft China. are of handsonie 



turnip shape; skin deep blood red in color; flesh also veiy 

 dark and of the very finest quality, tender and sweet at all 

 tinaes. It is very early and ready to market with the Egyptian, 

 but does not become tough or stringy. Grows to a good size, 

 and very uniform; tops quite short. As an early beet it is 

 unsurpassed; for a late crop its rapid, quick growth makes it 

 also valuable. Pkt. oc, oz. 10c, lb. 30c, lb. Sl.OO 



Early Crimson Beet. 

 Tomato, Long=Keeper. The result of thirteen years of care 

 ful selection to the end of securing early ripening and long- 

 keeping qualifies in the tomato, as well as retaining other desir- 

 able points. Long-Keeper is a triumph of the scientific method 

 of obtaining desired qualities in a vegeta le. Pkt. 10c, ez. 40c. 

 y Brightest Long Scarlet. A new sort sent out last year, 

 and which we found to be of great merit. It is along Radish, 



resembling the 

 Early Long 

 Scarlet in shajje 

 and size, ex- 

 tra o r d inarily 

 early, being fit 

 for use in 25 

 days after sow- 

 ing. T*^e most 

 remarkable 

 quality, how- 

 ever, is its 

 color, whi'ch is 

 t h e brightest 

 scarlet we have 

 seen in any 

 Radish. The 

 tails are tipped 

 white. This 

 sort will ou 

 any other long 

 red Radish that 

 is put in com- 



petition with it on the market, and is an extra fine sort for the 

 home garden, the quality being very good. Pkt. 5c, oz, 10c,

proved Long Red. 



Pepper, Improved Long Red. A very distinct and 

 valuable new strain, which we now offer for the first time, 

 and the stock of which we control exclusively. It attains a 

 length of five inches, with a thickness of one-half to three- 

 fourths inches at the top, tapering down to a blunt 

 point. The fruit is of a bright crimson color, stalks dwarfish 

 in habit for a pepper, seldom attaining a height of over 

 eighteen inches ; in productiveness it is not equalled by any 

 other sort that we knoAv of. This iKppcr is in tio way 

 identical with the Cardinal Bed, lately inti-oduced; 

 the latter we also quote in general list. Pkt. 5c, oz. 

 50c, 1^ lb. $1.50.

 mild and valuable for use in the green state. Pkt. 25c.
