Beans — Nancy D. Pole 



A new green podded variety that is unsurpassed in quality for use as green shelled beans. In season it 

 matures with Kentucky Wonder and the vines are exceptionally vigorous and productive. The pods are nearly 

 as long as those of Kentucky Wonder but are broader and flatter and somewhat lighter in color. When in 

 condition for use as snaps the pods are nearly stringless and are of excellent quality, pkt. 10c; Lb. 50c; 2 Lbs. 90c. 

 postpaid; 100 Lbs. $30.00 



Corn — Alpha 



The earliest sweet corn. Matures a week to ten days ahead of Mammoth White Cory. 



For many years we have been seeking a variety of sweet corn that would be earlier than Mammoth White 

 Cory and still produce ears of fair size and good quality. Of the many varieties and strains which have come 

 under our observation both at our Experimental Garden and in field crops Alpha stands out pre-eminently in 

 meeting these requirements. 



The ears average six to seven inches long, are uniformly eight rowed, fully equal in quality to Mammoth 

 White Cory with skin a trifle more tender. The stalks are very uniform in height averaging about four feet. 

 Ears are set low and close to the stalks. 



For the market grower who reaps an extra profit by getting his produce on the market ahead of his com- 

 petitors this will be a money-maker; for the home gardener it will produce desirable ears for the table a week 

 ahead of the next earliest variety. (See cut and further description, page 38) Pkt. I0c ; Lb. 50c; 2 Lbs. 90c. postpaid; 

 100 Lbs. $30.00 



Corn — Charlevoix 



(Pronounced Shar-le-voy) 



The many favorable reports we have had on this variety confirm our opinion that it is the best yellow grained 

 sweet corn yet introduced. The ears are about seven inches long, usually twelve rowed, and when in condition 

 for use are deep creamy yellow in color. The grain is rather short, very sweet and tender and is unsurpassed 

 in quality. In season it is about the same as 

 Early Minnesota but remains in condition for 

 use longer than most of the early or inter- 

 mediate sorts. An excellent sort both for the 

 home and market garden. 



We recommend a trial of this variety; 

 you are sure to be pleased with it. (See fur- 

 ther description, page 38) Pkt. 10c; Lb. 50c; 2 

 Lbs. 90c. postpaid; 100 Lbs. $30.00 



Peas — Giant Butter, Edible Pod 



We consider this new and distinct edible 

 podded sort a valuable acquisition. The pods, 

 which are five to six inches long, are very 

 fleshy, curved or scimiter shaped and of light 

 green color. When young the pods are very 

 tender and free from strings and when cooked 

 are of superior quality and delicious flavor. 

 The vines average about four feet high and 

 are vigorous and productive. Pkt. 25c; 5 Pkts. 



$1.00 postpaid. 



Peas — Admiral Beatty 



i A very desirable midseason or early main 

 crop, variety similar in many respects to 

 Duke of Albany. Vines about four feet high, 

 datk green in color, and produce abundantly 

 large pods well filled with eight to ten peas 

 of excellent quality. The fine dark green 

 color of the pods of this variety makes it 

 exceptionally attractive, and its excellent 

 quality is all that could be desired. Pkt. 10c; 



Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c. postpaid; 100 Lbs. $22.00
