NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 



Beet— Detroit Dark Red 



We believe this is the best beet for the market and home garden, and on account of its uniformly deep rich 

 color, the most desirable for canning. The tops are small and upright in growth. The leaves are dark green, 

 shaded with red. The flesh is deep vermilion red, zoned with darker shade. Careful comparisons with all 

 the prominent varieties on the market in this country and in Europe prove that the Detroit Dark Red Beet 

 is the most uniform in shape and size and the most attractive in color. It is unsurpassed in quahty.

Celery— Columbia 



No better celery has ever been pro- 

 duced than our strain of Columbia. It 

 is early maturing. The plants are stocky 

 and heavy, and when well grown the 

 heart blanches to a very attractive light 

 golden yellow. Columbia has no su- 

 perior in beauty of golden shading, 

 soHdity and size of stalk. In rich nutty 

 flavor we have found it unsurpassed. The 

 variety is not only very desirable ^ for 

 the private garden but is well suited 

 for the home market. Try it and be 

 convinced. {See cut on this page and

Chicory— Witloof or French 

 Endive 



This variety when grown and 

 blanched by a distinct method of culture 

 produces leaves with wide ribs or leaf 

 stalks which form a cluster or head. Its 

 main use is as a winter salad, the head 

 being divided" and serv^ed with French 

 dressing. Abroad the heads are often 

 boiled and later stewed in butter, milk <^^^^'^^' Columbia 



and cracker crumbs. The flavor, which is slightly bitter, is the distinguishing characteristic that appeals to 

 the epicure. In Brussels this vegetable is known as "Witloof " and in Paris as "Endive." {See cut, further

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 qualit3^ 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 description, page 58) pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 2 0z.25c; Vi Lb. 40c;

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 59) pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; Va Lb. 40c;

Cabbage — Copenhagen Market 



This is undoubtedly the most valuable cabbage of recent introductions. The heads are exceptionally 

 large for so early a variety, very solid and of excellent quality. Matures but a few days later than Early 

 Jersey Wakefield and is equally valuable either for the home or market garden. Our strain produces the large 

 round heads that are characteristic of this variety. (See cut and further description, page 30) Pkt. lOc;
