Spinach — King of Denmark 



Also known eis "Antvorskov" 



This variety has within the few years since its intro- 

 duction taken its place as one of the leading varieties of 

 Spinach. It has proven equally satisfacto»y for either 

 the home or market garden and we urge you to give it 

 a trial if you have not already done so. Although the 

 plants are ready for use almost as soon as the medium 

 early sorts they remain in good condition from a week 

 to two weeks after all other varieties have gone to seed.

Tomato — Avon Early 



This comparatively new extra early, scarlet fruited 

 variety is the result of several years of careful breeding 

 and selection at our Oakview Stock Seed Farm. We 

 consider it the most desirable variety of its class. The 

 fruits are of more desirable shape, more free from cracks 

 and show less green about stem than any other extra 

 early variety we have ever tried. {See further description,

Tomato — Cooper's Special 



A comparatively new, distinct, second early variety. 

 The vines are about three feet tall, being intermediate 

 in height between the dwarf and the tall growing sorts. 

 The vines are sturdy and vigorous growing and produce 

 good sized clusters of fruits of attractive shape and 

 color. The fruits are of medium size, globe shaped, 

 light purpHsh-pink color, sohd and meaty and of excel- 

 lent flavor. 



Because of its compact habit of plant, desirable 

 shape of fruits and excellent shipping qualities, this 

 variety has proven a valuable one for the shipper and 

 market grower. For the home garden it should prove 

 equally valuable because of its superior yielding quali- 

 ties over the strictly dwarf varieties and its compact- 

 ness compared with the tall growing sorts. {See cut on

Tomato-^Gulf State Market 



Although this variety was developed primarily to 

 meet the demands of tomato growers who ship to distant 

 markets, its many excellent qualities make it also a very 

 desirable sort for the home gardener or the grower for 

 local markets. It is earlier than any other good purple 

 tomato. The vines are exceptionally robust making the 

 crop less susceptible to blight than other varieties, thus 

 increasing the possibilities of a perfect stand in the field 

 if weather or other conditions are unfavorable. 



In our experimental trials in comparison with other 

 varieties of its class we have found that it will outyield 

 both in bulk and number of fruits any other shipping 

 tomato. {See further description, page 6j) pkt. 10c; Oz.
