Beckert's Specialties and New Selections in Vegetable Seeds 



NEW EARLY CORELESS CARROT 



The earliest Carrot that grows to good size and one of tlie very finest in quality- The roots are ex- 

 tremely uniform in size and shape, being cylindrieal, 6 to 7 inehes long and 13^ inches in diameter, blunt 

 pointed, with rich orange skin and flesh and absolutely no core or stringy fiber. Despite its earliness. Core- 

 less Carrots are heavy yiclders and good keepers. For 

 the home-garden, there is nothing better, while 

 market-gardeners will find it a profitable variety for 

 forcing, bunching, or selling in bulk. Order early to 

 avoid disappointment. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., 

 Vilb. 75 cts. 



NEW GOLDEN PLUME CELERY 



A noteworthy variety, said to have been produced 

 by crossing Golden Self-b!anching and White Plume. 

 It closely resembles Golden Self-blanching but ma- 

 tures a little earlier and blanches more 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 which 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 condition*--. Pkt. 

 25 cts., Vioz. $1.25, y20z. $2.25, oz. $4.00.

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 Nea[)olitan 

 and almost as large. We 

 recommend Harris' Earli- 

 est to all who have not 

 been able to mature Pep- 

 pers heretofore. Pkt.

BARDEN'S WONDER BANTAM 

 CORN 



Truly a wonderful combination of timely, delicious 

 sweetness in generous size. Growing on stocks 5 to 6 

 feet high, it develops ears 8 to 10 inches in length, filled 

 with 8 rows of rich golden kernels that will appeal to 

 the critical market- and home-gardener as well as to 

 the high-class canner who has been looking for a Corn 

 that will give both quantity and quality at the same time. 

 I he remarkable degiee to which this Corn has inherited 

 Irom its parentage the desirable qualities of earliness, size, 

 and sweetness, place it preeminently at the head of the list as 

 the best thing in Sweet Corn for 1925. Of the many recent 

 developments in yellow Sweet Corns, we consider this the 

 best. Plant it for first early and follow it with Beckert's

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 

 I lubbard. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 30 cts., }4\b. 85 cts.
