NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 



Beet— Detroit Dark Red 



We believe this is the best beet for the market and home garden, and on account of its uniformly deep rich 

 color, the most desirable for canning. The tops are small and upright in growth. The leaves are dark green, 

 shaded with red. The flesh is deep vermilion red, zoned with darker shade. Careful comparisons with all 

 the prominent varieties on the market in this country and in Europe prove that the Detroit Dark Red Beet 

 is the most uniform in shape and size and the most attractive in color. It is unsurpassed in quality. {See cut

Cabbage — Copenhagen Market 



This is undoubtedly the most valuable cabbage of recent intro- 

 ductions. The heads are exceptionally large for so early a variety, 

 very solid and of excellent quality. Matures but a few days later 

 than Early Jersey Wakefield and is equally valuable either for the 

 homa or market garden. Our strain produces the large round heads 

 that are characteristic of this variety. {See cut and further description,

Cabbage — Midseason Market 



This variety which we previously listed as Dwarf White Summer 

 is a second early variety of distinctive merit. Heads medium to large, 

 round or nearly so, very solid and heavy. Interior color of head re- 

 markably white and of fine flavor and texture. Plants vigorous grow- 

 ing but very uniform in type and are quite short stemmed. Leaves 

 light green in color, comparatively short and broad. An excellent 

 sort for the home garden as it is a sure header and stays in condition 

 for use a long time. Also recommended as a valuable addition to the 

 list of kraut varieties. {See further description, page 81) pkt. 10c;

Cabbage — Hollander or Danish Ball Head 



We have given a great deal of attention to this variety and offer 

 seed of our own growing which, judging from our trials, will produce 

 more uniformly typical heads than can be grown from stock obtain- 

 able elsewhere. Very hardy, sure heading, very solid, of good quality 

 and as one of the best keepers is particularly desirable for distant 

 markets or for late spring use. {See cut and further description, page 32)

 Choice imported seed, Pkt. lOc; Oz. 30c; 2 Oz. 50c; 1/4 Lb. 90c; Lb. $2.75 



Cauliflower — Danish Giant, Dry Weather 



An excellent second early variety especially adapted for growing 

 in ths open ground. Recommended for localities subject to long dry 

 reasons as it will often produce heads of fine quality under these 

 conditions when other sorts are total failures. 



Heads of medium to large size, very solid, pure white and of fine 



quality. Pkt. 25c; 1/4 Oz. 95c; Oz. $3.00; 2 Oz. $5.50; 1/4 Lb. $10.00 



Celery — Columbia 



No better celery has ever been produced than our strain of Colum- 

 bia. It is early maturing. The plants are stocky and heavy, and 

 when well grown the heart blanches to a very attractive light golden 

 yellow. Columbia has no superior in beauty of golden shading, solid- 

 ity and size of stalk. In rich nutty flavor we have found it unsur- 

 passed. The variety is not only very desirable for the private garden 

 but is well suited for the home market. Try it and be convinced.

Cucumber — Early Fortune 



An excellent shipping variety producing very attractive fruits of 

 rich dark green color. The fruits average uniformly about nine inches 

 long, cylindrical or slightly tapered at ends. The seed cavity is small 

 and the flesh thick, crisp and tender. Plants vigorous growing and 

 productive. 



Recommended as one of ths best shipping sorts yet introduced.
