Beans — Improved London Horticultural 



This is earlier and has much longer and more attractive pods than other strains of London Horticultural. 

 Makes a vigorous growth of vine with large, light colored leaves. The pods are six to seven inches long, medium 

 light green, striped or splashed with a deeper and brighter red than other strains. The beans are of large size, 

 oval in shape, and are of the highest quality either as green shelled or dried beans. We consider this improved 

 strain the most attractive and finest bean of the Horticultural class. {See further description page 22.) Pkt. 10c;

Beet — Detroit Dark Red 



Since introducing Detroit Dark Red Beet, thirty-five years ago, we have examined, each year at our trial 

 grounds, many samples of beets that were heralded as just as good or better. We have hoped, from year to year, 

 to find a more desirable variety but each year's trials find Detroit Dark Red the leader in its class. While not 

 quite as early as Extra Early Egyptian Blood Turnip or Crosby's Egyptian, it follows them very closely in season. 

 In all other respects Detroit Dark Red is superior to any variety we have examined. It is nearly globe-shaped 

 with small tap root and comparatively small erect top. The flesh is unsurpassed in quality and remains in condition 

 for use even when full grown. The color is a deep vermilion red with but little zoning of a darker shade, making a 

 most desirable table beet and an ideal one for canning. {See further description page 23.) Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 2

Pop Corn — Golden Hulless — New 



Repeated trials of this new variety have convinced us that it should quickly become one of the leading com- 

 mercial sorts. 



In shape and size the ear is much the same as the Japenese Hulless, averaging about three and one-half inches in 

 length and one and three-quarters inches in diameter. The kernels are longer than those of White Rice but are 

 full and plump This is quite distinct from other varieties of pop corn in color, being a rich golden yellow. When 

 popped this golden color, mingled with the white, gives the appearance of being buttered, and makes a tempting 

 combination. 



In addition to its attractive color it is hulless and 

 pops very readily forming large fluffy kernels. You will 

 find this a welcome addition to the pop corn list. {See

Corn — Alpha 



Five years ago we introduced Alpha as the earliest 

 sweet corn. For many years we sought a variety of 

 sweet corn that would be earlier than Mammoth White 

 Cory and still produce ears of fair size and good quality. 

 Before ofifering Alpha for sale we had from our trials 

 determined the fact that it met these requirements, 

 and its performance during the past five years has 

 proven it. 



The ears average six to seven inches long, nearly 

 cylindrical, uniformly eight rowed, with fairly large 

 kernels of medium depth. It is fully equal to Mammoth 

 White Cory in quality and a trifle more tender. The 

 stalks are very uniform in height, averaging about four 

 feet. Ears are set low and close to stalks. 



A profitable variety for the market grower and a 

 desirable one for the home gardener who wishes ears 

 for the table in advance of other varieties. {See further

Corn — Charlevoix 



Pronounced (Shar-le-voy) 



The many favorable reports we have had on 

 this variety confirm our opinion that it is the best 

 yellow grained sweet corn yet introduced. The ears 

 are about seveninches long, usually twelve rowed, and 

 when in condition for use are deep creamy yellow in 

 color. The grain is rather short, very sweet and 

 tender and is un.surpassed in quality. In season it is 

 about the same as Early Minnesota, but remains in 

 condition for use longer than most of the early or 

 mtermediate sorts. An excellent sort both for the 

 home and market garden. We recommend a trial of 

 this variety; you are sure to be pleased with it. {Ree
