Special Novelties for 1916 



Early May King Lettuce. This new Lettuce has been tried for several years by 

 some of the best Market Gardeners. Our grower says: "May King Lettuce is a very 

 early variety, light green color; it forms hard, tight heads very quickly after it starts to 

 grow. It has been out for five years, and has become wonderfully popular with the 

 Market Gardeners." Another large grower says it is the best Lettuce ever introduced. 

 Price: Pkt., 5c.; ounce, 15c.; ^ lb., 40c.; lb., $1.50. 



Summer King Lettuce. Immense heads as solid as a cabbage and curled. It pro- 

 duces immense heads often 15 and 16 inches across. The heart blanches beautifully 

 and is crisp, tender and delicious. It is a robust-growing variety, rooting deeply and 

 thus able to resist hot, dry weather; is slow to run to seed, and a sure header. The outer 

 color is of a distinct apple-green. It has been extensively grown in all sections of the 

 country and as a standard summer Lettuce it is in every way desirable. Price, 5 and 

 10c. pkt., 20c. oz., 50c. H lb., $1.50 lb. 



Earliest Springtime Peas. This Pea is sure to be a leader. The pods are from 

 4 to 434 inches long. This pea is round like the Alaska, but much larger, and the pods 

 are equal in color and size to the Gradus; it can be planted earlier than the Gradus 

 because of its character seed. We feel sure that this pea will produce more and 

 give better satisfaction than any other early sort to the market gardener. Price: 

 pint 20c.; quart, 30c.; gallon, $1.25; peck, $2.25; bushel, $8.00. 



Laxtonian Peas. This handsome new wrinkled Pea is the largest podded of the 

 dwarf varieties on our list. The beautiful dark green pods are similar to Gradus in 

 shape and splendid quality; are very nearly as large in size and mature a little earlier. 

 The vines are vigorous and productive, averaging 15 to 18 inches high, foliage dark 

 green; pods about 4 inches in length. Seed light green, large, wrinkled, flattened, 

 irregular in shape. Pkt. 5c. and lOc, pint 20c., quart, 30c., peck, $2.00, bushel, $7.00. 



Big Marvel Pea. One of the largest podded and earliest of all peas. The vines of 

 the big marvel pea grow from 18 to 24 inches high, require no sticks, with unusual 

 dark green foliage. The pods are long, rich green in color, having from 7 to 9 enormous 

 peas in a pod. The growth of vines is sturdy, and it bears with a prof usion that is 

 remarkable. It matures as early as the small Extra Early sort. Its sweetness is truly 

 its own. It will be one of the most profitable market peas yet introduced; for home 

 garden it has no superior. Pkt., 10c. ; pint, 20c.; quart, 30c.; peck, $2.25; bushel, $8.00.
