SWEET AIR CANTALOUPE 



We know from what we have seen of this melon for the past four 

 seasons that we cannot speak too highly of this melon. It is the sweet- 

 est, 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. Last year our trade offered us $5.00 per pound for this 

 seed. 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; what more can we say? 

 Commission men fight for the chance to sell them, the 

 buyer fights for the chance to buy them, the public fights 

 for the chance to eat them. ALL SWEET should have 

 been its name, but it gets its name from the farm where 

 it originated. Price: 1 oz, 15c; Y\ lb., 40c; lb., $1.25. 



Bolgiano's Extremely Early Prolific I. X. L. Tomato 



In field test the I. X. L. proved to be the earliest of 

 all early tomatoes. The fruit was exeremely abundant 

 and large, much superior to many of the much advertised 

 sorts; in fact, much of the fruit was as large as the larg- 

 est sorts of commercial Tomatoes. It has an abundance 

 of vine, protecting the fruit from scalding and the blos- 

 soms being knocked off by heavy rains and winds. The I. X. L. is fast becoming the leading Extremely Early Tomato, 

 its smoothness, uniformity of size, brilliant red color, evenness of ripening, compact growth and abundance of fruit will 

 make it a money-maker for Gardener, Packer and Home Gardener. Why experiment with other sorts when this one 

 is to be had. Price: Packets, 5 and 10c; 1 ounce, 25c; l / A pound, 90c; 1 pound, $3.50. 



New Early Copenhagen Market Cabbage. 

 Whenever tested this cabbage has caused comment and great satisfaction. It is undoubtedly the finest large round- 

 headed early cabbage yet introduced. The type is thoroughly fixed, the heads maturing all at the same time. It is 

 also the finest keeper of any cabbage. The heads average about 8 or 10 lbs. in weight, are very solid, small core and 

 fine, smooth, tender grain. It matures as early as Charleston Wakefield and will give a much heavier yield Being 

 closer set, can be planted closer, thereby producing many more heads to the acre. Some declare that this cabbage is 

 as early as the Early Jersey Wakefield. Our stock is from the originator in Europe. Try this one and make money. 

 Packets, 5c and 10c; 1 oz., 35c; Y\ lb., $1.25; 1 lb., $4.00. 



Sweeney's Extra Early Jersey Wakefield Cabbage 

 This Cabbage has been grown by Mr. Harry B. Sweeney for a number of years. 

 In size and shape it is very similar to our SELECT EARLY JERSEY WAKE- 

 FIELD, possibly not quite so large, but nearly so. It matures a week or ten days 

 sooner than that variety, and the whole crop is ready for the market within one 

 week from the time of first cutting; in fact, it can be harvested all at the same 

 time. Mr. Sweeney has made more money out of this cabbage than any other. 

 We got our stock from him, and believe that if our patrons take this seed they 

 will be more than satisfied. Price, packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; Y\ pound, 

 80 cents; pound, $2.50. 



New Extremely Early Long Podded Alaska Peas 



Few introductions in the Pea line has created such a sensation as this new Pea. 

 While it is of the wrinkled variety, not quite so wrinkled as the Gradus. It is 

 very hardy, and can be planted at the same time as the Alaska. It will come at 

 least five days earlier than the Alaska and the pods will be nearly double the size 

 of that well-known variety. Abuandant in yield, and beautiful in color. This is 

 bound to take the place of the old sort. Its fine flavor alone should make it a 

 leader. Price, y 2 pint, 10 cents; 1 pint, 25 cents; 1 quart, 50 cents; gallon, $1.75; 

 peck, $3.00; bushel, $12.00. 



Bolgiano's New Wonder Lettuce 



It has solid round heads and will bear transportation better than almost any 

 other variety. For eary 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, 

 ounce, 20 cents; 2 ounces, 35 cents; % pound, 65 cents; pound, $2.50. 



Farr's White Bush Squash 



This type of White Bush Squash has long been recognized as the earliest squash 

 on the market. Mr. Charles N. Farr and his family have been perfecting this 

 squash for years. We can not 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 market from local gardeners for the past fifteen 

 years have been from this stock. Fine in appearance, of light green color. Packet, 

 10 cents; J4 pound, 20 cents; 1 pound, 60 cents. 



White Stone Head Cabbage. Finest, ealiest flat head cabbage yet introduced. 

 Medium size, growing from 5 to 7 lbs.; finest possible flavor, fine ribbed leaves 

 and as hard as Stone. This will surely be a leader on the eastern market. Price, 

 ounce, 25c; Ya, lb., 75c; 1 lb., $2.50.
