SPECIAL NOVELTIES FOR 1918 



Fit™ Early T<leal Sweet Corn 



EXTRA EARLY IDEAL SWEET CORN 



In 1916 for the second time we put the New Early TdSal" Sweet Corn out 

 10 a few of our market gardeners. We have never put out anything that has 

 given greater satisfaction to our friends than this. First, it was ready for 

 the market as soon as the Extra Early Adams; Second, large size ear; Third, 

 it brought more money, and Fourth, it satisfied the most critical trade. 

 What more could be said? While not a sugar corn, it is a sweet corn; can 

 be planted at the same time as the Adams Corn and produce an ear much 

 larger, finer texture, sweet and with blades on the ear. We already have 

 orders for large quantities of this corji, and the stock is short. Not in a 

 single instance have we sold a gardener this corn who does not want more 

 for this season. Express, not prepaid; Pkt.. 5c. and 10c. ; 1 pint, 20c.; quart, 

 •..^c. ; gallon. $100; peck, $190; bushel. $7.50. 



EXTREMELY EARLY PROLIFIC 

 BONNY BEST TOMATO 



111 tield test the Bonny Best proved to be the earliest of all early tomatoes, 

 rhe fruit was extremely abundant and large, much superior to many of the 

 n.uch advertised sorts; in fact, much of the fruit was as large as the largest 

 sorts of commercial Tomatoes. It has an abundance of vine, protecting the 

 fruit from scalding and the blossoms being knocked off by heavy rains and 

 winds. This is fast becoming the leading Extremely Early Tomato. Its 

 smoothness, uniformity of size, brilliant red color, evenness of ripening, 

 compact growth and abundance of fruit will make it a money-maker for 

 Gardener, Packer and Home Gardener. Why experiment with other sorts 

 when this one is to be had? Price: Packets, 5c. and 10c. ; 1 ounce, 30o. ; Vi 

 pound, 90c.; 1 pound, $3.50.

 PODDED BEA>'S. It can be planted at least ten days earlier than any other 

 green bean. It wiU stand considerable more cold and wet weather than any other 

 beans. This excellent variety is a great improvement over the popular standard 

 sort. Early Red Valentine, being One- third Longer Than That Variety, Pods Per- 

 fectly Round and Straight. It has the additional advantage of being suitable for 

 both early and late planting, being extremely hardy. It will withstand both early 

 and late frosts which kill other varieties. A most desirable sort for the market 

 gardeners, owing to its enormous yielding qualities, large and handsome appearance. 

 It resists the various bean diseases. Price: Pkt., 5c. and ICc; pint, 25c.;

BOLGIA>'0'S GOLDEN HEART LETTUCE. There has always been a de- 

 mand 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 10c. ; 1 ounce, 15c.; 2 ounces, 25c.; % lb., 40c.; 1 lb., $1.50. 



WATAHEAD LETTUCE. This new lettuce was called first to our attention 

 by some of the leading market gardeners. It shows a remarkable combination of 

 earliness, firm heading character, handsome appearance and fine quality. For cold 

 frames it has no superior, and in the open ground in spring, summer and early 

 fan months it has proven to be not only the earliest, but one of the surest head- 

 ing varieties. Packet, 5 and 10c. ; 1 ounce, 20c.; % lb., 60c.; 1 lb., $2.00. 



BOLGIANO'S XEW 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 prac- 

 tically all head. It is hardy as well as 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: packets. 5 and 10c ; 

 ounce, 20c.; 2 ounces, 30c.; V* lb., 50c.; lb.. $1.50.
