Tendergreen Beans

See reproduction in color on outside front cover. Without question this is the finest 

 stringless greenpod bean introduction of recent years. Up-to-date perfection both for 

 market and home garden. A most prolific producer of round, meaty, tender pods, 6^/^ to 

 7 inches in length and absolutely stringless. Color a very attractive beautiful deep 

 green. The quality and flavor of the pods are unexcelled. Produces a strong upright 

 bush vine about 1% to 2 feet in height and matures in about seven weeks from sowing 

 the seed. Splendid for canning because they retain their color and delicious flavor just 

 as if freshly picked from the vines. You will be delighted with this bean if you give 

 it a trial. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 35 cts.; qt. 60 cts.; pk. $2.40; bu. $8.50. 



328. California Wonder Pepper 



A new pepper of real merit. It's nearly as large and earlier than Chinese Giant, but 

 is blocky or square ended. It is especially free from roughness. It's pretty as a picture. 

 Just the ideal shape. It will sit upright and is perfect to stufl" and bake or to serve 

 whole with salad. Its walls are exceptionally thick, heavier and firmer than any other 

 sort. The flesh is deliciously sweet and spicy with no bite to it. The bright attractive 

 green when young changes to a brilliant light crimson as they mature. Full grown 

 peppers commonly have a breadth of 4 inches and a length of 4% inches, weighing a.s 

 much as a full pound. The plants are slightly spreading, sturdy and productive, bearing 

 from 5 to 9 large fruits to a setting. For the home gardener, market gardener and 

 shipper, this is the ideal pepper. Give it a trial. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 45 cts.; '/i lb. $1.35; 

 lb. $5.00. 



218. Bolgiano's Extra Early Superb Beet 



A splendid variety for market gardeners. The flesh is a rich, dark blood red. Small 

 tap root, perfectly smooth, crisp, tender and deliciously sweet. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 

 cts.; V^ lb. 35 cts.; lb. $1.10, postpaid. 



117. Bolgiano's New Early Cabbage 



Has gained its present pre-eminence among vegetables through merit alone. We 

 would not wish you to think it the earliest cabbage offered, for in season it follows the 

 Wakefields. It is in production and 

 quality, however, that we find it ex- 

 celling other market varieties. The im- 

 mense hearts develop with remarkable 

 rapidity and are noticeable for the very 

 small growth of outer spreading leaves, 

 making it possible to grow more New 

 Earlies to the acre than other more 

 spreading sorts. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 

 cts.; !4 lb. 75 cts.; lb. $2.50, postpaid. 



312. Stays G-reen or Black 

 Diamond Cucumber 



The cucumber that stays 

 green. The earliest of the 

 White Spine type. Holds its 

 dark green color longer than 

 any variety we know of. It 

 is adapted to all sections and 

 soils. The fruit grows 7 to 8 

 inches in length, cylindrical 

 in shape, smooth and hand- 

 some. The flesh is white, 

 firm, crisp and of the very 

 best quality for slicing. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; !4 lb. 35 cts.; lb. $1.10, postpaid. 



235. Broccoli Italian Green Sprouting 



Or Early Green Calabrese 



Rapid Growing. Produces a large head at center of plant in about ninety 

 days from date of planting. Resembles cauliflower only in shape or formation 

 as the color is dull bluish green. After the center head is removed, the plant 

 produces many branches, each bearing smaller terminals and lateral heads 

 which are as fully desirable as the first heads produced. If these heads are 

 gathered as soon as they become large enough for use, the plant will continue 

 to produce for a period of from eight to ten weeks. If served in the same way 

 as asparagus makes a very tasty dish fully equal to cauliflower. Sow in the 

 Spring, Summer or Fall and cultivate same as cauliflower. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 

 45 cts.; Vi lb. $1.35; lb. $5.00, postpaid.
