NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES IN VEGETABLE SEEDS 



458 Lettuce — Unrivaled 



A handsome early Buttejhead Lettuce of extra choice quality. 

 Develops well formed, closely folded heads with golden yellow 

 hearts within 60 days from sowing. An all season variety for cool 

 sections but best for spring sowing where summers are hot. The 

 well-blanched heart is crisp and has a rich buttery flavor. Pkt. 10c; 

 oz. 25c: i lb. 70c. 



Honey Rock Muskmelon 



509 Muskmelon — Honey Rock 



This new Muskmelon is outstanding for the delicious sweetness 

 and rich aroma of its tender, luscious, salmon-colored flesh. The 

 fruits are almost round. They are of medium size but have ex- 

 tremely thick flesh surrounding the small seed cavity in the center. 

 The skin of the heavy fruits is a gray-green color showing a rough 

 netting. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; | lb. 60c; lb. $1.75. 



559 Mustard Spinach— Tendergreen 



Though a Mustard, its mild pleasing flavor is more like that of 

 Spinach. Little affected by hot or dry weather and therefore 

 highly recommended for summer greens. Ready for use 3 to 4 

 weeks after sowing. Pkt. 10c; oz. 20c; \ lb. 50c; lb. $1.25. 



587 Onion— Valencia 



This is the best of the large sweet Spanish Onions. Valued for 

 its exceptionally mild and sweet flavor. We consider it particu- 

 larly desirable because it will grow to truly enormous size if 

 conditions are anywhere near favorable. In some ways it resembles 

 the popular Prizetaker but the onions are considerably larger and 

 consequently heavier in weight. 



The onions are round and have a 

 beautiful golden yellow skin and 

 pure white flesh. With the 

 proper culture they will develop 

 into magnificent specimens of 

 the prize-winning type. For ex- 

 hibition start the seed indoors 

 early and transplant to the gar- 

 den at the proper season. 

 Pkt. 10c; | oz. 25c; oz. 35c; \ lb. 

 $1.00; lb. $3.50. 



588 Onion 

 White Bunching 



This variety does not form any bulbs 

 but it is grown extensively for green 

 onions and scallions. Sow the seed 

 thickly in rows and earth up the plants 

 gradually to blanch the lower 3 or 4 

 inches of the thick stalks. Pkt. 10c; 

 oz. 25c- \ lb. 75c; lb. $2.25.

Sugarstick — A really 

 sensational new Sugar 

 Pea, entirely different 

 from all other Peas in 

 existence 



Pods and cross-section are 

 shown in natural size. Note 

 their size, the thick, tender 

 wall, and ihelargeround peas. 



Many enthusiastic letters have been 

 received from customers who last year 

 grew this most remarkable new Sugar Pea. 



696 Sugarstick 



This is an entirely new type of Pea 

 differing from the regular garden peas 

 in that the tender, thick fleshed pod is 

 as delectable and fiberless as the large, 

 round peas within. Naturally using the 

 entire tender pods cooked like String 

 Beans produces a great increase of edible 

 luscious produce with the least amount 

 of waste per plant. 



The pods are elegantly curved and they have fleshy walls which 

 are entirely free from fiber or hard tissue. The peas in the pods 

 are large and tender, and of the same luscious sweetness as the 

 walls of the pods. If desired, the peas may be shelled and cooked 

 separately so that two distinct delicious vegetables may be secured 

 for table use. The sliced pods make a splendid addition to 

 mixed salads. 



The sturdy vines grow 



4 feet tall and are very 

 productive. Every 

 gardener should give 

 this new and most dis- 

 tinct variety a 

 careful trial.
