 Lawn Grass Seed. 



No seed ever sown can 

 surpass this well-trie I 

 mixture. The seed is 

 selected and mixed to 

 gel llie (luicKest, greenest, and thickest sod possible. I 

 put plenty of perennial grasses in this to stand for years 

 and through the longest droughts. A deep velvety green is 

 soon obtained by sowing this seed. 



1 pint 20c.; quart, 35c.; Ipeck $2.00; 1 bushel $5.50. 

 A quart will sow 300 square feel. The prices for jpint and 

 quart are postpaid; peck and bushel prices buyer pays ex- 

 press charges. 



Ornamental Grasses Mixed 



These Grasses, if cut before they are entirely ripe, will 

 be found useful in the formation of winter bouquets, in con- 

 nection with the Everlastings. More than ten of the very 

 finest sorts are included in this mixture. Large packet, 5c. 



Everlasting or Eternal Flowers 



Indispensable for winter and Christmas decorations- 

 Cut before entirely ripe, and hang heads downward in a 

 cool, dark place. This collection contains Acroclinium; 

 Ammobium, Gomphrena, Helichrysum, Rhodanthe and 

 Xeranthemum, all the finest varieties, mixed. Large packet, 

 6c. 



Golden Bantam Sweet Corn 



for the table sooner than'^any other sort. It is 

 respect. Packetfl2 oz., 10c. ; 5 lb., 35c. 



Far and above the best of all early varieties. Extremely hardy, 



and fcan be planted earlier than any sweet com — and said to be ready 



very rich, and sweet in flavor, and far ahead of Cory and all older sorts in this 



1 lb., 60c. 



Cos Lettuce Trianon 



I have grown Cos Lettuce for many 

 years, and each year as I gather the 

 immense heads (sometimes 1 foot high 

 and weighing 3 or 4 lbs.), blanched to 

 a crystal whiteness and so tender and 

 sweet you cannot refrain from eating 

 them, I wonder why it is they are so 

 little known. They are better than any 

 other Lettuce. We always use them in 

 preference to any other sort. Tie 

 together six days before vising. 



Trianon Self Folding Cos 



Very early, very white, tender and 

 sweet. Packet, 5c.; oz., 20c. 

 White Paris Cos. Used by the 

 French more largely than any other, 

 rather later than Trianon; produces 

 heads v/eighing 6 lbs. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c. 



Endive' ^road-leaved Batavia. The EscaroUe the French use so largely for salads; 

 * leaves used for greens, and in France the most popular of all salad for fall 

 and winter. Very sweet and very pleasant. Pkt., 5c.; I oz., 25c. 



9fij/co Chard ^ Can be used all 



^WISS K.nara, ^summer and repeated 

 cuttings can be made from same plant. 

 Called "Cut and Come Again Spinach." If 

 you have room for but one vegetable in 

 your garden, this is it. Far superior to the 

 common beet for greens and equal to spin- 

 ach. Sown early in the spring, in rows 16 

 in. apart, thin out to 6 in. Is fit for use 

 for greens sooner than any other variety. 

 For summer use it is superior to spinach, 

 because it can be cut throughout the entire 

 summer and fall. 



Packet, 5c.; oz., 25c.; \ lb., 75c.; lb., 

 $2.50. 



Kohl-Rabi 



White Goliath 



Growing as large as a cro- 

 quet ball. The fiesh is sweet, 

 tender and delicious; equal 

 to caulifiower and far supe- 

 rior to Turnips. Plant early 

 and begin to use when size 

 of medium orange. Cook like 

 Turnips, mashed or cut in 

 cubes and creamed. 



Packet, 5c.; 02., 25c. 



Celeriacs ^ f^iery 



proaucmg 

 a root like a turnip. An ex- 

 cellent vecetable, highly fla- 

 vored, sweet and pleasant. 

 Equal to Celery and ready 

 much earlier, and a good 

 easy-keeping winter vege- 

 table. Packet, 5c.; | oz., 25c.
