Special Novelties for 1915 



Early May King Lettuce. This new Lettuce has been tried for several years by 

 some of the best Market Gardeners. Our grower says: "May King Lettuce is a very 

 early variety, light green color; it forms hard, tight heads very quickly after it starts to 

 grow. It has been out for five years, and has become wonderfully popular with the 

 Market Gardeners." Another large grower says it is the best Lettuce ever introduced. 

 Price: Pkt., 5c; ounce, 15c; J4 lb., 40c; lb., $1.25. 



Summer King Lettuce. Immense heads as solid as a cabbage and curled. It pro- 

 duces immense heads often 15 and 16 inches across. The heart blanches beautifully 

 and is crisp, tender and delicious. It is a robust-growing variety, rooting deeply and 

 thus able to resist hot, dry weather; is slow to run to seed, and a sure header. The outer 

 color is of a distinct apple-green. It has been extensively grown in all sections of the 

 country and as a standard summer Lettuce it is in every way desirable. Price, 5 and 

 10c pkt., 20c oz., 50c % lb., $1.50 lb. 



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. 



Laxtonian Peas. This handsome new wrinkled Pea is the largest podded of the 

 dwarf varieties on our list. The beautiful dark green pods are similar to Gradus in 

 shape and splendid quality; are very nearly as large in size and mature a little earlier. 

 The vines are vigorous and productive, averaging 15 to 18 inches high, foliage dark 

 green; pods about 4 inches in length. Seed light green, large, wrinkled, flattened, 

 irregular in shape. Pkt. 5c and 10c, pint 20c, quart, 30c, 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 9 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. Pkt., 10c; pint, 20c; quart, 30c; peck, $2.00; bushel, $7.00. 

 The Harvester Peas. Is one of the finest medium crop peas introduced. Pods are 

 long and well filled and fine color. We believe so much in this pea that we are willing 

 to recommend it to the full limit — it has a fine flavor and is very productive in pods as 

 well as shelled peas. Price: pint 20c; quart, 30c; gallon, $1.10; peck, $2.00; bushel, 

 $7.00. 



Earliest Springtime Peas. This Pea is sure to be a leader 

 4 to \Yi inches long. This pea is round like 

 the Alaska, but much larger, and the pods are 

 equal in color and size to the Gradus; it can 

 be planted earlier than the Gradus because of 

 its character seed. We feel sure that this pea will 

 produce more and give better satisfaction than any other 

 early sort to the market gardener. Price: pint 20c; 

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



Defiance Peas. The old saying "Each thing in its 

 place is best" applies to this pea. Its name indicates 

 that it defies the summer heat and drought, which it 

 does to a remarkable degree. It grows long pods well filled with large 

 peas of delicious flavor, and pods borne in great profusion. We advise 

 our trade to plant these for late use. Price: pint, 20c; quart, 30c; 

 gallon, $1.10; peck, $2.00; bushel, $7.00. 



Sweet Air Cantaloupe. It is the sweetest, finest flavored, 

 juiciest and best melon ever offered. 



It is a little larger than the Rocky Ford, well netted, THICK 

 GREEN FLESH, small seed cavity. It has readily sold every 

 season for $1.00 more per crate than any other melon, and has 

 always cut sweet. When the other standard sorts have been 

 flat to the taste this has been perfect in sweetness. Restaurants 

 demand it and will take no other when they can get 

 this one. 



It is prolific. The best to grow for profit; the best 

 for table; the best for restaurant; ALL SWEET 

 should have been its name, but it gets its name from 

 the farm where it originated. Price: Pkt. 5 and 10c; 

 Mlb., 20c; lb., 60c. 



The pods are from
