Special Novelties for 1914 



BOLOIANO'S NEW WONDER LETTUCE. 



It has solid round heads and will bear transportation better 

 than almost any other variety. For early spring planting in the 

 open ground or under glass it is unequalled. The plants grow 6 to 

 7 inches in diameter; the outer leaves are so closely folded the 

 plant is practically all head. It is hardy as well as very early, and 

 a quick grower. Leaves are a light green, and slightly crumpled, 

 like Savoy Spinach; inner leaves a bright yellow. In flavor it is 

 particularly rich, buttery and tender. Bolgiano's Wonder has 

 certainly been highly appreciated wherever grown or tried, and 

 is sure to become popular, both in home and market gardens. 

 Price: packets, 5 and 10c. ; ounce, 20c.; 2 ounces, 35c.; % lb., 

 60c.; lb., $2.00. 



BOLGHANO'S GOLDEN HEART LETTUCE. 

 There has always been a demand for a Big Boston Lettuce 

 without the brown tinge. This Lettuce is black seeded Big 

 Boston with less brown tinge. It will stand longer without 

 going to seed and has a fine large heart, light color, and is crisp 

 and tender. Price: packet, 5 and 10c. ; 1 ounce, 15c.; 2 ounces, 

 25c.; % lb., 40c.; 1 lb., $1.50. 



WAYAHEAD LETTUCE. 

 This new lettuce was called first to our attention by some 

 of the leading market gardeners. It shows a remarkable com- 

 bination of earliness, firm heading character, handsome appear- 

 ance and fine quality. For cold frames it has no superior, and 

 in the open ground in spring, summer and early fall months it 

 has proven to be not only the earliest, but one of the surest 

 heading varieties. Packet, 5 and 10c. ; 1 ounce, 20c.; % lb., 

 60c. ; 1 lb., $2.00. 



FULL CROP PEAS. 

 We go to our most creditable trade with assurance that these 

 peas will please and make money for them. It is late like the 

 Telephone pea, but larger and more than doubly as prolific in 

 pods. Its dark green color and beautiful size, with its delicious 

 flavor, will certainly make this pea a leader. In fact, we predict 

 that in five years this pea will take the place of the Telephones. 

 What could be more to the advantage of the grower than 

 large crops of finer peas? 



Our stock is limited, so we advise our trade to get in on a good thing before it is too late. Price: pint, 20c.; 

 quart, 30c.; gallon, $1.10; peck, $2.00; bushel, $7.00. 



BIG MARVEL PEA. 

 One of the largest podded and earliest of all peas. The vines of the big 

 marvel pea grow from 18 to 24 inches high, require no sticks, with unusual 

 dark green foliage. The pods are long, rich green in color, having from 7 to 

 H enormous peas in a pod. The growth of vines is sturdy, and it bears with a 

 profusion that is remarkable. It matures as early as the small Extra Early 

 sort. Its sweetness is truly its own. It will be one of the 

 most profitable market peas yet introduced; for home garden 

 it has no superior. Packet, 10c. ; pint, 20c.; quart, 30c.; 

 peck, $2.00 ; bushel, $7.00. 



FARR'S WHITE BUSH SQUASH. 

 This type of White Bush Squash has long been recognized 

 as the earliest squash on the market. IMr. Charles N. Farr 

 and his family have been perfecting this squash for years. 

 We cannot recommend it too highly. We feel that if you 

 want earliness and beauty, you cannot go astray in buying 

 this stock. The earliest squash that has come to this mar- 

 ket from local gardeners for the past fifteen years has 

 been from this stock. Fine in appearance, of light green 

 color. Packet, 10c. ; % lb., 30c.; lib., $1.00. 



SUPERB EXTRA EARLY BEET. 

 Has taken the lead among the early turnip-shape beet 

 entirely by superb merit of everything pertaining to a beet 

 to make it a recognized leader. It is very early, 8 to 10 

 days ahead of other early sorts now offered. The shape is 

 uniformly perfect, being entirely free from fibrous side roots, 

 which are so objectionable. In fact, it is the smoothest 

 beet within our knowledge. The flesh is a rich dark blood 

 red, tender, crisp and deliciously sweet; besides having a 

 very small top, is an ideal for bunching. Will produce a crop 

 inside of seven weeks from sowing. Is excellent for forc- 

 ing as well as for main crop. Packet, 5 and 10c. ; 1 ounce, 

 Superb E.\tra Early Beet 15c.; % lb., 50c. ; 1 lb., $1.75.
