Washington Asparagus 



Within the past few years plant breeders have turned 

 their attention to the control of plant diseases through 

 the breeding of disease resistant strains. Their work has 

 resulted in the addition of se^■eral disease resistant strains 

 to the vegetable list. One of the most important of these 

 is a strain of rust resistant Asparagus which is offered 

 unt'.er the name of Washington. This is a vigorous, rapid 

 growing \ariety. The color is a medium dark green with 

 a tinge of purple on tip. 



^^ ashington is a variety of the so-called Giant Aspara- 

 gus. Produces a hea\'y crop of large, tender shoots, and 

 will be found ec^ually as desirable in unaffected districts 

 as in those where rust is prevalent. (See cultural directions 

 and further description page 16.)

Since the introduction of this excellent \ ariet> , it has 

 steadily increased in favor until it is now the most popular 

 early cabbage grown. Matures within two or three days 

 of Early Jersey Wakefield and in some seasons is just as 

 early. 



The heads are usually perfectly round, of attractive 

 color and exceptionally solid for an early sort. Average 

 about one-third larger than Jersey \\'akefield and are 

 superior to that \ariety in quality. For uniformity in size, 

 shape and earliness, there is no better stock to be had

Cabbage — Wisconsin All Seasons 



This new strain of All Seasons is proving of great help to kraut cabbage growers in districts where "yellows" 

 is prevalent. 



Although it often happens that in breeding for disease resistance some sacrifice in the quality of a variety must 

 be made, this has lost none of the qualities that make All Seasons so desirable as an intermediate season and 

 kraut sort. 



Wisconsin All Seasons differs slightly in color from other strains, being a little darker and showing a resemblance 

 to the color of Hollander. This strain shows a little shorter stem. The heads are rounding or slightly flattened and 

 are solid and fine quality even in weather unfavorable to other late varieties. The seed we offer is of the true "vel- 

 lows resistant" strain. {See further description page 26.) Pkt. 10c; Oz. $1.00; 2 Oz.$1.60; I/4 Lb. $2.75; Lb. $10.00. 



Cabbage — Hollander or 

 Danish Ball Head 



We have made careful and 

 extended tests of many varieties 

 of late cabbage, to determine 

 their keeping quality, and have 

 found Hollander decidedly supe- 

 rior to any other variety. The 

 heads are round, of medium size 

 and the most compact or solid of 

 any cabbage known. They are 

 nearly as heavy as many of the 

 larger headed late varieties. The 

 plants are medium in size with 

 comparatively few, rounding 

 erect leaves of a bluish green 

 color, softened byawhitish bloom. 



There is no better cabbage for 

 shipping to distant markets or 

 for storing for use in late spring, 

 and there is no better seed obtain- 

 able than the stock we offer. {See 

 further description page 27.)
