BATT’S FOUR-EAR PROLIFIC CORN. 
This is a small ear white variety of 
corn, and grows from four to six ears to 
the stalk. Batt, the originator of this 
corn, Claims that it yielded last year 227 
bushels per acre on land in North Caro- 
lina; the land was measured by the Agri- 
cultural Department of that State and the 
yield verified by them. We secured several 
bushels of the seed at an expense of $8.00 
per bushel and planted it here, and it has 
given us splendid results and we feel that 
it is going to be a very fine corn for this 
country, as well as our State. It matures 
in about 100 days and grows about the 
same height as the ordinary variety of 
corn.” Price, pint. 20c.;' quart ‘35c.;" gallon 
80c.; peck $1.25; bushel $4.00. 
RUBY GIANT PEPPER. 
The Largest Mild Red Pepper. 
As a result of crossing Chinese Giant 
and Ruby King, we have a handsome new 
variety which combines the enormous size 
of the Chinese Giant and the graceful, 
elongated form of Ruby King, being longer 
than the former variety, larger round than 
the latter and much larger than either. In 
color it is a bright clear red, and in flavor 
mild, delicious and sweet. The plant is 
vigorous in growth, stocky, well branched 
and prolific. Price, package 10c.; % ounce 
25¢.; ounce 50c. 
HANSON LETTUCE. 
The Hanson Lettuce is an excellent plain 
leaf variety, with large, solid heads. Its 
table quality is perfection itself, having a 
sweet rich flavor, and its ability to remain 
a long time in edible condition is one of 
its leading characteristics. The heads are 
large, crisp and tender, entirely free from 
any bitter taste. It is rather slow to run 
to seed. Price, packet 5c.;) ounce 15¢e.; 
% pound 50c.; pound $1.50, postpaid. 
= TRUE TEMPER 
KENTUCKY WONDER WAX POLE 
BEAN. 
A yellow-podded “Kentucky Wonder,” 
which bears a large quantity of rich, 
golden-yellow pods from the time the plant 
is about half-grown until it is killed by 
frost in the Fall. The plant makes a 
quick, healthy growth, and, like “Kentucky 
Wonder,’ it is exceedingly productive, 
bearing large pods, which are thick, meaty, 
stringless, very tender, and have a fine 
flavor when cooked. Price, pint 25c.; quart 
50c.; gallon $1.75.

COPENHAGEN MARKET CABBAGE. 
An entirely new and distinct Cabbage, 
and the characteristics marking it are of 
so desirable a nature as to make it the 
most valuable Cabbage in its class, and it 
is in the group of the Extra Early or First 
Early varieties. It produces perfectly 
ball-shaped heads, hard and solid—still as 
finely grained in texture as any Cabbage, 
and when fully matured will average a 
weight of eight pounds. It possesses a 
most remarkable earliness in this, that it 
matures as early as the Charleston Wake- 
field, yet it produces heads that are far 
bigger and more substantial. It is even 
possible to market the crop ahead of its 
time while yet not attained a full growth, 
thus making it possible to bring a crop on 
the market before any of the usual vari- 
eties will have reached any marketable 
size. This can be accomplished because of 
the fact that the heads, even at a very 
early stage of development, appear quite 
hard and solid. The type is thoroughly 
fixed. The plants will be found to run 
uniform in every respect, thus the heads 
will mature so evenly as to allow the 
entire crop to be harvested at one cutting. 
Further, it is a Cabbage that can be grown 
very closely, as the leaves are distinctly 
short and sit close to the head. Its stem 
is noticeably short. Price, packet 10c.; 
ounce 75c.; % pound $2.00.
