Watermelon, Tom Watson 



Watermelon-— 

 Tom Watson 



Unquestionably the most 

 popular shipping melon. The 

 fruits are large and long. The / 

 rind is tough. The flesh is rich f 

 red, sweet and tender. In many \ 

 large markets the Tom Watson \ 

 is without a rival. It supplies 

 the demand completely for a 

 melon of superior quality that 

 will also ship well. (See cut 07i

 tion, page 4J) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c;

Cabbage — Dwarf White Summer 



A new second early variety of distinctive merit. Heads medium to large, round or nearly so, very solid 

 and heavy. Interior color of head remarkably white and of fine flavor and texture. Plants vigorous growing 

 but very uniform in type and are quite short stemmed. Leaves light green 'in color, comparatively short and 

 broad. An excellent sort for the home garden as it is a sure header and stays in condition for use a long time. 

 Also recommended as a valuable addition to the list of kraut varieties, {^ee junker description, -page 32)

Radish — Early Scarlet Turnip, White Tipped 



One of the best early radishes for the home garden and a great favorite in large markets for early planting 

 outdoors. The roots are nearly round, slightly flattened on the underside. The color is very bright, deep rose- 

 carmine scarlet with a distinctly white tip. The flesh is white and of the best quahty. The stock we offer is 



exceptionally attractive in its splendid coloring. The 

 scarlet is unusually deep and affords a distinct contrast 

 with the large, clear white tip. {See cut and further descrip- 

 tion, page 57) Pkt. Sc; Oz. 15c: 2 Oz. 25c; Va. Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 



Radish — Icicle 



An excellent white variety with long, very smooth, 

 clear white roots which are very crisp and tender. When 

 mature the roots are four to five inches long but are ready 

 for use when about half that size. 



One of the most desirable varieties for the home garden, 

 furnishing roots that are usable almost as soon as the early 

 turnip rooted sorts. {See cut on this page and further 

 description, page 58) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; V4 Lb. 40c; 

 Lb. $1.25 



Squash — Delicious 



The increased demand for this squash shows conclu- 

 sively that its high quahty has become m^ore generally 

 known and appreciated. Many prefer it to Hubbard, 

 so long regarded as the standard of excellence. Delicious 

 is a fall and winter squash of medium size. Although not 

 very thick the sheU is hard and strong. The flesh is 

 bright yellow, thick, very fine grained and of most excellent 

 flavor. We believe the seed we offer is equal to the best 

 obtainable. {See cut and further description, page 62)

Tomato — Early Detroit 



We are con\'inced that our strain of Early Detroit is 

 the best early purplish pink tomato for shipping. The 

 variety as offered by us has met the exacting requirements 

 of this most critical class of trade, especially of southern 

 growers who supply the early markets of the north. Early 

 Detroit is not only the most productive of the purplish pink 

 tomatoes for the early market, but in uniformity and size 

 of fruit, freedom from cracking, and from tendency to 

 bhght, it leads all others of its class. It continues better 

 than any other market sort "with which we are acquainted 

 to give large smooth fruits to the end of its season. It is 

 also a desirable tomato for the home garden. Since its in- 

 troduction by us in 1909 we have given the variety par- 

 ticular attention, and the seed we offer is of very superior 

 quality. {See cut and further description, page 63)
