OP SURPASSIA^G QUALITY _, , , , t, r i ^ ^^ ■, . ^ ^ . , 



Remarkable success has oi late attended, efforts to develop 

 an extra early tomato of large size, smooth and of good quality. After comparing all recent introduc- 

 tions thus described we find two varieties that are so distinctly superior as to outrank all others. These 

 are Nolte's Earliest and Karliana. The vine of Earliana is a little more dwarf than Nolte's Earliest, 

 the latter being especially vigorous and able to withstand growth conditions not the most favorable. 

 Both mature remarkably early fruits that are of large size, good shape and excellent quality. The' fruit 

 of Earliana is a trifle thicker while that of Nolte's Earliest is in color a shade darker and in flavor slightly 

 more acid. Nolte's Earliest does best in soil and under conditions of growth 

 which are not always favorable for good results in Earliana. With different 

 conditions or in other soil Earliana might be found the more profitable. We 

 advise planting both varieties. Further descriptions and prices on page 55.

HIGHLY BRED 



STOCKS 



C*rt\^\\\i* c Frt\;r\fJ'»n O^^ of the best extra early beets 

 ^^rOSOy S C^ypiian f^r outdoor planting. The color 



in our stock, a bright rich vermilion, is distinct and very 



attractive, not only when the beet is pulled but also after it 



has been cooked. Our Crosby's Egyptian, planted out of 



doors, matures sooner than any other variety. See page ij, 



Detroit Dark Red Turnip '^,':t:^;i^;tr-^^^'^ 



has become fixed in our stocks after years of careful breed- 

 ing and selection. No other seed on the market 

 will produce a crop so uniformly excellent in shape, 

 color and quality. No beet is in so great demand 

 in the home garden, on the market and for canning

Jacnsch's Victrix 



Unquestionably the 



best strain yet offered. 

 The growers, Gustave Jaensch& Co., are the most 

 successful Sugar Beet experts in the world and in 

 this variety have established marvelous improve- 

 ments. Jaensch's Victrix is without an equal in 

 germinating power, uniformity of product and 

 large proportion of sugar in the roots. See cut^ 

 full description and pjice, page 18. 



Thl> n^liriniK ^^ ^^^^ offered this squash last season upon the high recommendation of the 

 I \VC \JK,\\\j\\J\Xb originator, Mr. Jas. J. H. Gregory. We have since been pleased to find in The Deli- 

 cious all that Mr. Gregory claimed for it; a very dry, fine grained squash of most excellent flavor. 

 It is an autumn or winter variety of medium size; shell smooth, moderately hard but ver}^ thin; 

 flesh thick, very fine grained, color bright yellow. Unsurpassed in quality when mature, even 

 earlier it is very good. See page opposite. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 2 Oz. 40c; % Lb. 7Sc; Lb. $2.50 



Golden Hubbard Hubb7rd 



except in color which is a beau- 

 tiful orange red. The flesh is 

 fine grained, of excellent 

 quality and deeper in 

 color than the 

 old variety. It 

 is also more pro- 

 ductive and ear- 

 lier although a 

 little smaller in 

 size. Keeps well 

 and is certainly a very 

 0^: superior table variety.
