Novelties and Specialties 



As is customary with most seedsmen to list the Novelties and Varieties of 

 special merit in a separate department, we devote a few pages to the new things 

 in Vegetable and Flower Seeds. 



This department is usually the mo^^t interesting to customers, as a good gar- 

 dener likes to test and carefully note the development of a new variety, that may 

 'prove distinct and better than the old favorites amongst the standard varieties. 



Most varieties have been carefully tested in our trials, or obtained from such 

 reliable sources that we can recommend them as worthy of a trial by our patrons 

 and we feel sure that they will give satisfaction. 



On all Seeds in Packets the purchaser is entitled to select twenty-five cents - 

 worth extra for each one dollar's worth ordered.

NEW CAULIFLOWER 



DANISH GIANT 



This variety is also listed in some catalogues as ''Dry Weather Cauliflower. 

 Our best varieties of Cauliflower originate in Denmark, the home of the famous 

 "Snowball." This is a fine, large variety, that produces solid, pure white heads, 

 about a week or ten days later than Snowball. Its main features is the fact that 

 it will stand an unusual amount of dry or warm weather and still produce per- 

 fect, large, solid heads. 



So it is especially adapted for groA^ing in localities where all other sorts 

 fail to grow. To grow cauliflower it is essential that you have well enriched 

 ground and give thorough cultivation during the growing season. By the use of 

 this strain fine cauliflower can be grown in many dry districts where it has been 

 impossible heretofore to raise this delicious vegetable. 



Price per pkt. 15 cts., oz. $1.00., oz. $2.00. 



LEMON CUCUMBER 



A new and entirely v.\stinct type. Tender, 

 sweet and crisp. The v'lemon Cucumber haa 

 come to stay, its popularity increasing. With 

 those who grew it last season it is a favorite. 

 If you are fond of cucumbers, and want one 

 that will almost melt in your mouth, try our 

 Lemon. 



Our illustration is from a photograph of the 

 fruits, in comparison, with an ordinary Cu- 

 cumber. They are nearly round, with the yel- 

 low and gi-een markings and smooth skin of 

 the Lemon, while the flesh is exceedingly ten- 

 der and crisp, with a sweet flavor surpassing 

 all other Cucumbers. They have none of the 

 bitter or acrid taste so generally found in Cu- 

 cumbers. For slicing they excel, and are well 

 adapted for serving whole upon the table. 

 For pickling, ripe or green, one of the best 

 and most attractive, on account of their 

 quaint form. They can be served green but 

 \- are at the best just as they are turning yel- 

 / low. This variety has given us great satis- 

 / faction for family use anO also for pickling, 

 as we f^'sted this sort aloog with others at 

 our trial grounds. Price per pkt. 10 eta., 8 

 pkts. 25 cts., oz. 30 cts., V4, lb. $1.00.
