□ SPECIAL NOVELTIES FOR 1916 



Extra Early Ideal Sweet Corn 



Last year for the second time we put the New Early Ideal Sweet Com out to 

 a few of our market gardeners. We have never put out anything that has 

 given greater satisfaction to our friends than this. First, it was ready for 

 the market as soon as the E.Ktra Early Adams; Second, large size ear; Third, 

 it brought more money, and Fourth, it satisfied the most critical trade. 

 What more could be said? While not a sugar com it is a sweet corn, can 

 be planted at the same time as the Adams Corn and produce an ear much 

 larger, finer texture, sweet and with blades on the ear. We already have 

 orders for large quantities of this com and the stock is short. Not in a 

 single instance have we sold a gardener this corn who does not want more 

 for this season. Express not prepaid; quart, 20c.; gallon, 60c.; peck, 

 $1.00; bushel, $3.50. 



Extremely Early Prolific Bonny 

 Best Tomato 



In field test the Bonny Best proved to be the earliest of all early tomatoes. 

 The fmit was extremely abundant and large, much superior to many of 

 the much advertised sorts; in fact, much of the fruit was as large as the 

 largest sorts of commercial Tomatoes. It has an abundance of vine, 

 protecting the fruit from scalding and the blossoms being knocked off by 

 heavy rains and winds. This is fast becoming the leading Extremely 

 Early Tomato. Its smoothness, uniformity of size, brilliant red color, 

 evenness of ripening, compa'ct growth and abundance of fruit will make 

 it a money-maker for Gardener, Packer and Home Gardener. Why ex- 

 periment with other sorts when this one is to be had? Price: Packets, 5 and 

 10c.; 1 ounce, 25c.; ]4 pound, 75c.; I pound, $2.50.

 Extra Early Ideal Swwt r.om Hardiest of All Green Podded 



Beans. It can be planted at least 

 ten days earlier than any other green bean. It will stand considerable more 

 cold and wet weather than any other beans. This excellent variety is a great 

 improvement over the popular standard sort, Early Red Valentine, being One- 

 third Loriger Than That Variety, Pods Perfectly Round and Straight. It has 

 thf additional advantage of being suitable for both early and late planting, being 

 extremely hardy. It will withstand both early and late frosts which kill other 

 ^'?7f-*^*^' ^- '^'^^' desirable sort for the market gardeners, owing to its enormous

 di-seases. Price: Pkt., 10c ; oint, 15c.; quart, 30c.; peck, $2.00; bushel, $7.50.

Wayahead Lettuce. This new lettuce was called first to our attention by 

 some of the leading market gardeners. It shows a remarkable combination of 

 earliness, firm heading character, handsome appearance and fine quality. For 

 cold frames it has no superior, and in the open ground in spring, summer and 

 earlv fall months it has proven to be not only the eariiest, but one of the surest 

 heading vaneties. Packet, 5 and 10c. ; 1 ounce, 20c.; M lb., 75c.; 1 lb., S2.50. 



Bolgiano s New Wonder Lettuce. It has solid round heads and will bear 

 transportation better than almost anv other variety. For early spring planting 

 in the open ground or under glass it is unequaUed. The plants grow 6 to 7 

 ^nu^ T '^f^e'^er; the outer leaves are so closely folded the plant is practically 

 aU head. It is hardy ar well as ver>- eariv, and a quick grower. Leaves are a 

 Iig... groen, and shghtly crumpled, like Savov Spinach ; inner leaves a bright
