Cabbage — Mammoth Rock Red 



We consider this the best and surest heading red cabbage. The variety is late maturing, producing large, 

 round, very solid heads of attractive deep red color. An excellent variety for cold slaw and pickling. (See 

 colored plate on page 33, and further description, page 32). pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; 2 Oz.60c; K Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.50 



Cabbage — Improved American Savoy 



This is one of the varieties of garden vegetables the unusual fine qualities of which can be enjoyed only by 

 those who have their own gardens. Because its tenderness does not permit it to be shipped it cannot usually 

 be found on the markets. The heads are medium large, fairly solid,., sweet and tender. The leaves are 

 blistered or savoyed, of light yellowish green color, the inner ones bleaching to light creamy yellow. Unexcelled 

 either cooked or for use in salad. (See colored plate on page 33, and further description, page 32) Pkt. 10c; 

 Oz. 30c; 2 Oz. 50c; H Lb. 90c; Lb. $3.00 



Kohl Rabi 



This vegetable is not as generally known or used as it should be. When cooked before the flesh 

 becomes woody it is superior to the turnip in quality. It matures rapidly requiring only about seventy-five 

 days from date of planting until bulbs are ready for use. The varieties listed below and illustrated on the 

 opposite page are the standard kinds for both the home and market garden. 



Early White Vienna. An extremely early variety with small tops. The bulbs are of medium size, very 

 light green or nearly white and of the best quality for the table when about two inches in diameter. Pkt. 10c; 

 Oz. 30c; 2 Oz. 55c; M Lb. 90c; Lb. $3.00 



Early Purple Vienna. Very early with small top. The bulbs are of medium size, purple outside but 



With white flesh. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 2 Oz. 55c; M Lb. 90c; Lb. $3.00 



Large Green. A hardy, later maturing variety which is tender and desirable for table use when young. 

 When full grown the bulbs of this sort are often used for feeding stock. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 2 Oz. 40c; \i Lb. 75c;

Spinach — King of Denmark 



Also known as "Antvorskov" 



This variety has within the few years since its introduction taken its place as one of the leading varieties 

 of Spinach. It has proven equally satisfactory for either the home or market garden and we urge you to 

 give it a trial if you have not already done so. 

 Although the plants are ready for use almost as 

 soon as the medium early sorts they remain in 

 good condition from a week to two weeks after all 

 other varieties have gone to seed. 



The plants are of rapid growth, resemble the 

 Long Season in type but leaves are more crumpled 

 or blistered and are of a darker green color. The 

 leaves are thick, stand well after cutting and are of 

 good quality.

Tomato — Avon Early 



This comparatively new extra early, scarlet 

 fruited variety is the result of several years of 

 careful breeding and selection at our Oakview 

 Stock Seed Farm. We consider it the most de- 

 sirable variety of its class. 



The fruits are large for so early a variety, round 

 or slightly flattened, of deep scarlet color, smooth, 

 free from cracks and of good quality. It produces 

 ripe fruit as early as the best strains of Earliana 

 and will outyield that variety in both the first 

 and subsequent pickings. The fruits are of more 

 desirable shape, more free from cracks and show 

 less green about stem than any other extra early 

 variety we have ever tried. (See cut on this page 

 and further description, page 63) Pkt. 10c; Oz. 60c;

Tomato — Gulf State Market 



Although this variety was developed primarily 

 to meet the demands of tomato growers who ship to distant markets, its many excellent qualities make it also 

 a very desirable sort for the home gardener or the grower for local markets. 



It is earlier than any other good purple tomato. The vines are exceptionally robust making the crop less 

 susceptible to blight than other varieties thus increasing the possibilities of a perfect stand in the field if weather 

 or other conditions are unfavorable. . 



The fruits are almost true globe shaped and are entirely free from cracks or blemishes about the blossom end. 

 Fruits on the same cluster ripen uniformly, making it an economical variety to pick. The fruits color a rich 

 purplish pink clear to the stem after packing. 



In our experimental trials in comparison with other varieties of its class we have found that it will outyield 

 both in bulk and number of fruits any other shipping tomato. (See cut andjurther description^ page 6j)
