LETTUCE 



WHITE BOSTON This variety will head well in your garden 

 if given plenty of room. When young it is equal to the 

 loose leaved sorts in quality and when fully grown is one 

 of the finest of head lettuces. The plants are compactly 

 formed in a symmetrical arrangement of rounded leaves 

 which are beautifully waved at the margins, and are 

 medium light yellowish green in color. They show no trace 

 of bronzing nor brown. They are rounded, above medium 

 size and are closely folded in a compact formation. 



The interior of the heads is rich creamy white and the 

 flavor is fresh and sweet, without trace of bitterness. 



A row of White Boston in your garden will make you want 

 to "Eat some leafy vegetable at least once a day." (See 

 further description page 31 and illustration page 30.)

PEPPER 



HUNGARIAN YELLOW WAX There is an increasing demand 

 for a pungent pepper of a larger size than those in common 

 use. This European variety is perfectly suited to fill such a 

 demand. The pepper is six to eight inches long and one-half 

 to two inches across at the stem end. It tapers evenly from 

 stem end to a sharp point, is usually slightly crumpled and 

 has a peculiar hook at the point. When young it is waxy 

 pale yellow turning to orange as it matures and is bright 

 cherry red when fully ripe. The peppers are usually picked 

 before turning color and are highly prized by people of 

 European descent for pickhng whole. The flesh is sharply 

 pungent and is very useful in relishes or dishes which re- 

 quire an extra touch of piquancy.

MUSK MELON 



HALE'S BEST The introduction of this new melon now enables 

 the amateur and home gardener to grow the kind of melons 

 they have long dreamed of raising. There have been a num- 

 ber of excellent melon varieties but until the development of 

 Hale's Best none was early enough to assure full maturity in 

 the North. We can now offer seed of this variety which will 

 ripen fruits in 75 to 80 days that exceed many of the later 

 varieties in quality. The melons are rounded, five to six 

 inches in diameter, entirely covered with moderately heavy 

 netting, and are only faintly ribbed. The flesh is rich salmon- 

 orange, nearly two inches thick, and all that can be desired in 

 sweetness and flavor. Although especially desirable for the 

 North on account of its earliness, this will prove extremely 

 popular in warmer sections on account of its delicious quaUty.

RADISH 



CRIMSON GIANT The ideal home garden 

 radish. It will produce excellent roots xm- 

 der conditions of soil and weather that are 

 unfavorable for many other varieties. The 

 roots are nearly globe shaped, of beautiful 

 crimson-carmine color and most excellent 

 quality. They become large enough for eat- 

 ing nearly as soon as the earliest small 

 radishes and continue to grow until they 

 become nearly two inches in diameter. 

 All this time they remain firm and crisp 

 without a sign of pithiness and are un- 

 usually free of pungency. You will have 

 a supply of good radishes longer if you 

 plant this variety.
