Gradus Pea 



1 



A green wrinkled pea of largest size and extremely early. No variety of recent introduction has 

 come so rapidly into general favor. Vine similar to that of Telephone hut only three to three and one- 

 half feet high. Pods long with pointed ends, very large, handsome and well filled with peas of great 

 size, splendid quality and beautiful light green color which is retained after cooking. The rapidly 

 increasing demand upon us for Gradus has each year been far in excess of our supply. Sold also as 

 Prosperity. See colored page 47. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; Qt. 60c; 4 Qts. $2.00; Bu. $12.00 



Thomas L>axton Pea 



This is a splendid pea. The pods are nearly as large as those of Gradus, maturing in about the same 

 season, while in productiveness the Thomas Laxton excels all other extra early wrinkled sorts. Vines 

 similar to that of Gradus but darker in color. Pods large, long, with square ends, similar to those of 

 Champion of England but much larger and darker. Although only recently introduced this variety 

 has come rapidly into favor with market gardeners. Our stock has been carefully selected. The most 

 critical growers will be pleased with the results obtained from planting the seed we offer. As a very su- 

 perior pea we unreservedly recommend the Thomas Laxton. See colored page 47. Pkt. lOc; Pt.SSc; Qt.60c; 

 4 Qts. $2.00; Bu. $12.00 



Telegraph Pea 



An exceedingly hardy variety. Vine vigorous with foliage darker than that of Telephone. Peas 

 very large and of good quality. 'Seed almost smooth. We call the special attention of market garden- 

 ers to our excellent stock of this sort; we believe it is by far the best obtainable. 



Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $4.75 



If Peas are icanted by viail or express, prepaid, add 10 cents 

 per pint, 15 cents per quart, for charges. 



Michigan Yellow Globe Onion 



We have for years been carefully selecting and breed- 

 ing this Onion and the result is most gratifying. The 

 strain we offer can be depended upon to produce large, 

 round bulbs, their greatest diameter a trifle below the cen- 

 ter, and with very small necks; color a bright orange 

 yellow. The largest crops of onions are always produced 

 on rich, black lands. On such soils it is found that a 

 globe shaped onion with a somewhat flattened base gives 

 the largest returns. To meet the demands of the profes- 

 sional onion growers located on such lands, we have 

 developed this variety. Michigan Yellow Globe is unsur- 

 passed in keeping qualities, handsome in shape and color, 

 and one of the largest yielders. Pkt. 5c; Oz. iOc; 2 Oz. 20c; 

 X Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10 



Southport Red Globe Onion 



Our strain of Southport Red Globe Onion is the best 

 we have ever seen. For many years we have been com- 

 paring our stocks with others and are familiar with all 

 prominent American strains. The variety is of medium 

 size, spherical, with small neck, very deep, rich red color, 

 and of superior quality. Onions of this type from South- 

 port, Conn., command an extra price in eastern markets 

 because of beautiful shape and color, due partly to the 

 variety grown and partly to the favorable soil and the 

 extra care taken in handling the crop. The seed we offer 

 is from selected bulbs grown from pedigree stock. We 

 know it is the best obtainable. Pkt. 5; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; 

 % Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 



Platycodon 



Japonicus^ 



Hollander, or Danish Ball Head Cabbage 



Very hardy, very handsome, very solid, one of the best keepers and of 

 fine quality. No cabbage grown is better for distant markets or for late 

 spring use. See colored page 25 and full description page 24. Pkt. 5c; 

 Oz. 25c; 2 Oz. 40c; )i Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.25 



Platycodon JaponicUS flpl {Japanese Betl Flower) 



This is distinctly superior to the ordinary varieties of Platycodon. The 

 flowers are double instead of single and the ten petals, in color a very attrac- 

 tive deep blue, are arranged in the form of an open bell. A hardy perennial; 

 twelve to eighteen inches high and in flower from June to October. Pkt. 10c
