SPECIAL NOVELTIES FOR 1917 



EARLY MAT KING LETTUCE. This new Lettuce has been tried for several years 

 by some of the best Market Gardeners. Our grower says: "May King Lettuce is a 

 very early variety, light green color; it forms hard, tight heads very quickly after it 

 starts to grow. It has been out for six years, and has become wonderfully popular 

 with the Market Gardeners." Another large grower says it is the best Lettuce ever 

 introduced. Price: Pkt, 5c; ounce, 15c; % lb., 40c; lb., $1.50. 



SUMMER KING LETTUCE. Immense heads as solid as a cabbage and curled. It 

 produces immense heads often 15 and 16 inches across. The heart blanches beauti- 

 fully and is crisp, tender and delicious. It is a robust-growing variety, rooting deeply 

 and thus able to resist hot, dry weather; is slow to run to seed, and a sure header. 

 The outer color is of a distinct apple-green. It has been extensively grown in all 

 sections of the country and as a standard summer Lettuce it is in every way desir- 

 able. Pkt., 5c and 10c ; oz., 20c ; % lb., 75c ; lb., $2.50. 



EARLIEST SPRINGTIME PEAS. This Pea is sure to be a leader. The pods are 

 from 4 to 4% inches long. This pea is round like the Alaska, but much larger, and 

 the pods are equal in color and size to the Gradus; it can be planted earlier than the 

 Gradus because of its character seed. We feel sure that this pea will produce more 

 and give better satisfaction than any other early sort to the market gardener. Price: 

 pint, 20c; quart, 40c; gallon, $1.50; peck, $2.75; bushel, $10.00. 



LAXTONIAN PEAS. This handsome new wrinkled Pea is the largest podded of the 

 dwarf varieties on our list. The beautiful dark green pods are similar to Gradus in 

 shape and splendid quality; are very nearly as large in size and mature a little earlier. 

 The vines are vigorous and productive, averaging 15 to 18 inches high, foliage dark 

 green; pods about 4 inches in length. Seed light green, large, wrinkled, flattened, irregu- 

 lar in shape. Pkt., 5c and 10c; pint, 20c; quart, 35c; peck, $2.75; bushel, $10.00. 



THE KNIGHT CANTELOCPE. This was introduced by the originator of our 

 Famous Sweet Air Canteloupe. His description of this melon is as follows: It is less 

 liable to blight, considerably earlier in maturing and nearly if not quite as large as the 

 Sweet Air. The flavor of this melon is in every way the equal of the best on the 

 market and superior to 99% of them. We recommend this to our Market Gardener 

 trade as well as the home gardener. Seed in very limited quantities. Price: packages, 

 5 and 10c; % lb., $1.15; 1 lb., $4.00. 



SWEET AIR CANTALOUPE 



It is the sweetest, finest flavored, juiciest and best melon ever offered. 

 It is a little larger than the Rocky Ford, well netted, THICK GREEN FLESH, 

 small seed cavity. It has readily sold every season for $1.00 more per crate than 



any other 

 melon, 

 and has 

 always cut 

 s w e e tr 

 When the 

 other 

 Early Springtime s t andard 

 Peas sorts have 



been flat 

 to the taste, this has been 

 perfect in sweetness. Res- 

 taurants demand it and will 

 take no other when they can 

 get this one. It is prolific. 

 The best to grow for profit; 

 the best for table; the best 

 for restaurant; ALL 

 SWEET should have been its 

 name, but it gets its name 

 from the farm where it 

 originated. Price: Pkt., 5 and 

 10c; % lb., 40c; lb., $1.50. 



SWEET AIR CANTA- 

 LOUPE. Our seed this year 

 is grown from NEW STOCK 

 —Direct from the originator. 



We gave Mr. Wm. Ryan, of 

 Ritchie, Maryland, a pound of 

 this stock seed, and he says 

 that the stock was the best 

 he ever had. 



Every pound of our seed Is 

 grown from this stock.
