NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 



Beans — Stringless Kidney Wax 



This variety combines to an unusual degree excellent quality, fine appearance, vigor and productiveness. 

 The plants are of erect, bushy habit and produce thick, fleshy pods of rich, creamy white color. The pods are 

 six to seven inches long, straight or nearly so, stringless and free from fiber. Desirable for both the home and 

 market garden and one of the most largely used varieties for canning. (See colored plate, page 25, and further 

 description, page 23) Pkt. 10c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c. postpaid; 100 Lbs. $24.00 



Beans — Full Measure 



A very desirable green podded variety, recommended for either the home or market garden. The plants 

 are of bushy habit and produce abundantly, round, straight, fleshy pods which are entirely free from strings and 

 of excellent quality. One of the most satisfactory varieties in its class and one that is rapidly becoming popular 

 in many localities. {See colored plate, page 25, and further description, page 21^) pkt. 10c; Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 60c. postpaid; 

 100 Lbs. $21.00 



Corn — Alpha 



The earliest sweet corn. Matures a week to ten days ahead of Mammoth 

 White Cory. 



For many years we have been seeking a variety of sweet corn that would 

 be earlier than Mammoth White Cory and still produce ears of fair size and 

 good quality. Of the many varieties and strains which have come under our 

 observation both at our Experimental Garden and in field crops Alpha stands 

 out pre-eminently in meeting these requirements. 



The ears average six to seven inches long, are uniformly eight rowed, 

 fully equal in quality to Mammoth White Cory with skin a trifle more tender. 

 The stalks are very uniform in height averaging about four feet. Ears are 

 set low and close to the stalks. 



For the market grower who reaps an extra profit by getting his produce 

 on the market ahead of his competitors this will be a money-maker; for the 

 home gardener it will produce desirable ears for the table a week ahead of the 

 next earliest variety. {See cut and further description, page 38) Pkt. 10c; Lb. 40c;

Corn — Charlevoix 



Pronounced (Shar-Ie-voy) 



The many favorable reports we have had on this variety confirm our 

 opinion that it is the best yellow graineds weet corn yet introduced. The ears 

 are about seven inches long, usually twelve rowed, and when in condition for 

 use are deep creamy yellow in color. The grain is rather short, very sweet 

 and tender and is unsurpassed in quality. In season it is about the same as 

 Early Minnesota, but remains in condition for use longer than most of the 

 early or intermediate sorts. An excellent sort both for the home and market 

 garden. We recommend a trial of this variety; you are sure to be pleased 

 with it. {See further description, page 38) Pkt. 10c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c. postpaid;

Peas — Giant Butter, Edible Pod 



We consider this new and distinct edible podded sort a valuable acquisi- 

 tion. The pods, which are five to six inches long, are very fleshy, curved or 

 scimiter shaped and of light green color. When young the pods are very tender 

 and free from strings and when cooked are of superior quality and delicious 

 flavor. The vines average about four feet high and are vigorous and productive.

Peas — Admiral Beatty 



A very desirable midseason or early main crop, variety similar in many 

 respects to Duke of Albany. Vines about four feet high, dark green in color, 

 and produce abundantly large pods well filled with eight to ten peas of excellent 

 quality. The fine dark green color of the pods of this variety makes it 

 exceptionally attractive, and its excellent quality is all that could be desired.
