17 



LEEK. Best Market Gardener's Varieties. 



LARGE AMERICAN FLAG. We offer a very superior stock of 

 this popular variety, so largely grown for fall and early winter 

 sales. It is of quick, strong growth, producing long stems of uni- 

 form shape and size, averaging 2 inches through by 10 inches 

 ong, blanching beautifully white and of fine, mild flavor. It 

 makes attractive and saleable bunches. (See cut.) Price, 15c. 

 oz., 45c. i lb., $1.40 lb. 



MUSSELBURGH, OR SCOTCH CHAMPION. This is the 

 best variety for winter and spring sales, being very hardy; it 

 keeps well when earthed up. It is of slower growth than 

 American Flag, making immense stocky stems about 3 

 inches through by 6 to 8 inches long. The leaves are broad 

 and flat, and little injured by snow; they recover their fresh 

 green color quickly in spring. Price, 20c. oz., 50c. ; lb., 

 $1.50 lb. 



GRAND RAPIDS LETTUCE. 



This does not form compact heads but a large mass of beau- 

 tifully curly crisp leaves, tender and delicious; it is the best 

 of the loose-leaved sorts. A rapid grower and admirable for 

 field or indoor-culture, its upright habit prevents leaf-rot when 

 rown under glass. {See cut.) Price, 15c. oz., 40c. i lb., $1.25 lb. 



SHORT-LEAVED EARLY WHITE 



VIENNA KOHL-RABI. 



Kohl-Rabi is a bulbous formed vegetable much appre- 

 ciated in Europe and too little known in America. It is 

 usually cooked before fully grown, when it is tender and 

 excellent. This variety is one of the best, being very 

 early, rapid growing, tender and delicately flavored. 

 The bulb is large enough to be eaten in from 10 to 12 

 weeks from sowing and as they are more tender and 

 delicately flavored before fully matured, it is advisable 

 to make successive sowings, rather than depend upon 

 a standing crop. Price, 10c. pkt., 25c. oz., 75c. \ lb., 

 $2.50 lb. 



"/ have been troubled this season in getting good lettuce seed and find that 

 some of your seed which has been here two years is better than I have been 

 able to get from Minneapolis or St. Paul." W.H. TRACY, Boseman, Mont. 



HENDERSON'S COS OR CELERY LETTUCE 



"TRIANON." 



Excels all other Lettuces in quality, having a crispness, 

 tenderness and flavor peculiarly its own and unap- 

 proached by any other variety. The heads are long and 

 conical. The leaves require to be tied up, when they 

 soon form solid heads and quickly bleach to snowy white- 

 ness, become as stiff, crisp and sweet as celery stalks, 

 and are delicious when eaten in the same manner or pre- 

 pared for salad. (See cut.) Price, 15c. oz., 40c. \ lb., 

 $1.20 lb. 



"Your Cos Lettuce was the finest I ever saw. Every head was a solid 

 head and sold well." C. C. MURPHY & SONS, 



9th and B Sts., Washington, D. C. 



"I lake this opportunity of praising Trianon Cos Lettuce. It is superb 

 — one is large enough for a samll family." 



Dr. J. FITZ-MATHEW, It'. Sound. Wash.
