 fine quality, and a good shipper 



Golden Bantam. Plant 5 feet high, small ear, golden yellow kernels of superb 

 quality 



Golden Rod, Henderson's. The best of the yellow varieties — a cross between 

 Golden Bantam and Stowell's Evergreen, having the merits of both parents 

 — plants 6 to 7 ft. high, ears 8 to 9 in. long — deliciously sweet

 low on the stalk; well filled with large white kernels, sweet and tender. . . . 



Moore's Early Concord. Medium early, large well-filled ears, flavor unsur- 

 passed

LATE OR MAIN CROP VARIETIES.

The "Henderson." A standard main crop variety, produces ears of great 

 size and fine quality, very popular on the market. (See engraving) :

 CRESS, or Pepper Grass. 



Extra Curled. Crisp, pungent leaves, finely cut, and ornamental; used as a 

 Salad, and for garnishing; rapid growing, dwarf and compact 



Upland. The leaves and their flavor somewhat resemble those of Water Cress, 

 though this sort succeeds in dry soils, and is slow in running to seed. . . . 



WATER CRESS. Highly esteemed for salads and garnishing. It must be 

 grown along moist banks, or in tubs in water-covered soil 



CUCUMBER

 son; fruits straight, long, tapering at both ends; color, dark green. One of

 crop. (See specialties page 12) (25 lb. lots and over $1.30 per lb) 



Early White Spine. We call attention to the excellence of our stock. It has 

 long held the palm as a first-class market variety 



Arlington White Spine. (See specialties page 12.) (See engraving) 



Vickery's Forcing. A long, slim, pointed selection of White Spine. It is i 

 tensely dark green in color, very attractive in appearance, and may be used 

 for greenhouse crop 



Davis' Perfect. Smaller in diameter, and of greater length than the average 

 White Spine type. The color is dark, which is maintained almost to the 

 tip. The stem end of the fruit is almost without seeds. It is used largely as 

 a greenhouse variety

 lific, and 4 days earlier; ideal for pickling
