Radish^ Crimson Giant "Cumip 



An exceptionally valuable radish in that it attains great size without any sacrifice of quality. From 

 our extensive trials we recommend it unreservedly for outdoor planting during the entire season and 

 for forcing when a handsome radish of largest size is desired, rather than extreme earliness. The flesh 

 is always excellent, remaining solid, crisp and mild flavored. The actual size and beautiful color of the 

 variety are shown on page 28. Pkt. 10c; O2. ISc; 2 Or. 25c; % Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50 



Defender jVIusk JMelon 



n 



This variety of our own introduction has come rapidly into favor with successful growers because 

 on the market Defender melons are quick sellers at the highest price. The discriminating buyer wants 

 just such a melon; handsome in color, perfect in shape, superlative in quality. The flesh extends to the 

 rind and retains its color and quality quite to the outer shell which, though thin, is very hard and firm, 

 so that one can remove the edible portion with a spoon, leaving a rind no thicker than that of an 

 orange. The vine is vigorous and very productive. The fruit, because of the hard, firm rind, keeps 

 and bears shipment remarkably well. Colored illustration on page 41 ; further description page 40,

Golden Yellow Self Blanching Celery 



THE BEST EARLY SORT 



Every year's experience strengthens our good opinion of this the best in quality of any of the early 

 celeries. Indeed, in quality it compares well with the best of any season, having to a remarkable de- 

 gree the crisp, tender texture and nut like flavor which 

 is rarely found in any but the late sorts. See cut and 

 description on page 2j. Pkt. 5c; Oz. ■45c; 2 Oz. 85c;

f rencb^s Success Celery 



THE BEST LATE KEEPING SORT 



Great difficulty in the past has been experienced by 

 all celery growers in keeping even the best late varieties 

 for the attractive prices of the spring markets. This 

 variety on account of its exceptional keeping qualities 

 will be found invaluable. Our extensive trials have 

 proven French's Success to be the best celery for late 

 keeping yet introduced. See colored page 28, and further

Ruta Baga^ 

 perfection ^bite Swede 



The ordinary ruta baga is not very highly esteemed 

 for the table but in Perfection White Swede we offer a 

 variety so highly bred in respect to fine, tender grain and 

 sweet flavor that we believe it will soon be recognized as 

 a most desirable addition to our table vegetables. As the 

 accompanying cut shows, it is entirely neckless, and on 

 account of its productiveness and ability to withstand 

 adverse conditions it will be found very profitable for 



stock feeding. Further description page 39. Pkt. 5c; IH V ^^"w^h.te Swede
