NEW VEGETABLES 



NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES OF MERIT 



FOR 



1908 



On this and the following page will be found illustrated and described the finest novelties and improved strains of the well-known 



standard sorts of vegetables. All these have been carefully tested and possess qualities not found in varieties 



of the same class as usually offered. 



Cabbage "Stonehead " 



Two New Cabbages 



Below are offered two new vari- 

 eties, distinct in every way from 

 all others. The plants are of strong, 

 quick growth, with a spreading- 

 circle of large, rounded, clear blue- 

 green leaves. The stem is short, the 

 spreading leaves resting upon the 

 soil, and large, solid heads are 

 formed close to the ground. The 

 heads are of distinct rounded form, 

 solid as a stone. The leaves compos- 

 ing the head are tightly folded, 

 beautifully blanched, and of mild, 

 sweet flavor. We offer two varieties-, 

 as follows: 



LATE STONEHEAD. — The best and 

 most distinct new Winter Cabbage. 

 An excellent Winter keeper. Per pkt.. 

 10 cts.; V2 oz., 15 cts.; oz., 25 ets.; 

 % lb., 75 cts. 



EARLY STONEHEAD. — Similar in 

 growth to the above, but is ready 

 for use about the same time as Burpee's All Head Early. The heads are quite large, the 

 very finest and best heads of early Cabbage that we have ever grown. Not only a superb 

 early Summer variety, but valuable for Fall planting in the South for early Spring market. 

 Per pkt., 10 cts.; V2 oz., 35 ctsj i/4 lb., 90 cts. 



BURPEE'S BUSH LIMA BEAN 



It is the only bush form of the true large Lima Bean, and 



has proven to be the most valuable introduction of recent 

 years. Burpee's Bush Lima comes absolutely true from 

 seed, producing bushes 18 to 20 inches liigh, of stout growth, 

 always erect, yet branching vigorously, each plant develop- 

 ing into a magnificent circular bush from two to three feet 

 in diameter. It is a prolific yielder, the handsome large pods 

 being well filled with large Beans, identical in size and 

 fiavor with the well-known large pole Limas. The strain 

 has been greatly improved within the past few years, until 

 this variety now stands without a rival. Per pkt., 10 cts.; 

 per pint, 30 cts.; quart, 50 cts., postpaid. 



NEW EGG PLANT BLACK BEAUTY 



This is the first distinct new Egg Plant of importance that 

 has been introduced within the past twenty-five years. Not 

 only does it produce its fruit ready for use ten days earlier 

 than any other variety, but it is also of larger size, finer 

 flavor and more attractive appearance. The plants branch 

 freely near the ground, growing in broad, well-rounded 

 bushes. The fruits are broad and thick, of the most attrac- 

 tive form and fine flavor. Per pkt., 10 cts. 



NEW TOMATO "CHALK'S EARLY JEWEL" 



The finest and hardiest early red or scarlet Tomato, 

 being in the same class and quality as the New Matchless, 

 but earlier in the season. Owing to the finer quality and 

 flavor of the Early Jewel, as well as the handsome appear- 

 ance, the Tomatoes have sold at retail in local markets at 

 two to three times the price commanded by other early 

 varieties. The hardy, vigorous growth admits of the very 

 early planting in the field, which is essential in getting 

 the earliest Tomatoes. Per pkt., 15 cts.; 4 for 50 cts. 



NEW PEA "BRITISH WONDER" 



The growth is similar to Carter's Daisy, except that the 

 foliage is darker green and the pods are not pointed. It is, 

 however, more reliable as it is a sure cropper. The vines 

 grow from fifteen to eighteen inches higher, and the pods 

 produce most abundantly and are well-filled with dark 

 green Peas. Per pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 35 cts., postpaid.
