New Extremely Early Long Podded 

 Alaska Peas 



Few introductions in the Pea line have 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. Abundant 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: i pint, lo cents; i pint, 15 cents; i quart, 30 cents; gallon, $1.15; peck, 

 $2.00; bushel, $7.50. 



Big Marvel Pea 



One of the largest potted and earliest of all peas. The vines of the big marvel pea grow 

 from 18 to 24 inches high, require no sticks, with unusual dark green foliage. The pods 

 are long, rich green in color, having from 7 to 9 enormous peas in a pod. The growth of 

 vines is sturdy and it bears with a profusion that is remarkable. It matures as early as 

 the small Extra Early sort. Its sweetness is truly its own. It will be one of the most 

 profitable market peas yet introduced; for home garden it has no superior. Packet, 10 

 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents; peck, $2.50; bushel, $10.00. 



Full Crop Peas 



We go to our most creditable trade with assurance that these peas will please and make 

 money for them. It is late like the Telephone pea but larger and more than doubly as 

 prolific in pods. Its dark green color and beautiful size with its delicious flavor will cer- 

 tainly make this pea a leader. In fact we predict that in five years this pea will take the 

 place of the Telephones. What could be more to the advantage of the grower than large 

 crops of finer peas? 



Our stock is limited, so we advise our trade to get in on a good thing before it is too late. 

 Price: pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents; gallon, $1.25; peck, $2.40; bushel, $9.00. 



Bolgiano's Golden Heart Lettuce 



There has always been a demand for a Big Boston Lettuce without the brown tinge. 

 This Lettuce is black seeded Big Boston with less brown tinge. It will stand longer without 

 going to seed and has a fine large heart, light color, and is crisp and tender. Price: packet, 

 5 and 10 cents; i ounce, 15 cents; 2 ounces, 25 cents; \ pound, 40 cents; i pound, $1.50. 



Wayahead Lettuce 



New Extremely Early Long Podded 

 Alaska Peas. 



This new lettuce was called first to our attention by some of the leading market gardeners. 

 It shows a remarkable combination of eariiness, firm heading character, handsome appear- 

 ance and fine quality. For cold frames it has no superior and in the open ground in spring, 

 summer and early fall months it has proven to be not only the earliest but one of the surest 

 heading varieties. Packet, 5 and 10 cents; i ounce, 20 cents; ^ pound, 50 cents; i pound, 

 $2.00. 



Bolgiano's New Wonder Lettuce 



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

 any'other variety. For early 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 fas 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 per- 

 fecting this squash for years. We cannot recommend it too highly. We 

 feel that if you want eariiness 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 has been from this stock. Fine in appearance, of 

 light green color. Packet, 10 cents; J pound, 30 cents; i pound, $1.00. 



Superb Extra Early Beet 



Has taken the lead among the early turnip shape beet entirely by superb 

 merit of everything pertaining to a beet to make it a recognized leader. It is 

 very early, 8 to 10 days ahead of other early sorts now offered. The shape is 

 uniformly perfect, being entirely free from fibrous side roots which are so 

 objectionable. In fact it is the smoothest beet within our knowledge. The 

 flesh is a rich dark blood red, tender, crisp, and deliciously sweet; besides 

 having a very small top is an ideal for bunching. Will produce a crop inside 

 of seven weeks from sowing. Is excellent for forcing as well as for main crop. 

 Packet, 5 and 10 cents; i ounce, 15 cents; ; pound, 50 cents; i pound, $1.75.
