Wonderful Early Beet 



Wonderful Earlv Beet. It has long boon our Llesire to get a beet that 

 was perfect. In the WONDERFUL wo beheve we have PERFEC- 

 TION. In the earliness it has no equal. Dark red in color so much 

 in demand, perfectlv SMOOTH. HANDSOME SHAPPED, FINE 

 GR.\INED. TENDER FLESH. UTien pulled it comes clean of the 

 ground with onlv a small TAP ROOT. For HOT BEDS, COLD 

 FR.\MES and TRANSPLANTING it is trulv WONDERFUL.

 other sorts. This beet has taken the lead in our New York Market.

 rather than use other sorts for earlv market. Price 5 and 10c. per pkt.; 

 1 ounce, 15c.; J 4 lb., 30c.; 1 lb. Si'. 00. 



Superb Extra Early Beet. Has taken the lead among the early 

 tvimip-shape beet entirely by superb merit of everj-thing pertaining 

 to a beet to make it a recognized leader. It is ver>- early, 8 to 10 

 days ahead of other early sorts now offered. The shape is uniformly 

 perfect, being entirely free from fibrous side roots, which are so 

 objectionable. In fact, it is the smoothest beet within our knowledge. 

 The flesh is a rich dark blood red, tender, crisp and deliciously 

 sweet; besides having a very small top, is an ideal for bunching. Will 

 produce a crop inside of seven weeks from sowing. Is excellent for 

 forcing as well as for main crop. Pkt., 5 and 10c. : 1 ounce, 15c.; 

 i^lb., 30c.; lib., $1.00. 



Bolgiano's Grand Tomato. Few introductions of late years have 

 taken as well as this GRAND NEW TOMATO. It has become a 

 standard Main Crop Tomato. The large, smooth, pink fruit makes 

 it the finest Tomato that has come to the Washington 'market the 

 past two seasons. This is no old variety with a new name, but a 

 Grand New Pink Late Tomato. It has surpassed the old varieties in 

 that it does not show the tendency to blight, as many of the older 

 sorts do. We are sure that wherever it has once been used it will 

 be used again. Already we have taken orders for a quantity of this 

 seed, indicating that the demand is going to be large. Pkt., 10c. ; 1 ounce, 20c.; \4 lb., 65c.; 1 lb., $2.00. 



The Greater Baltimore Tomato. This Tomato has reached the highest peak of success. In a three years' test it 

 produced 1634 tons to the acre against 13H tons of the Stone on the average. While we recommend the Stone Tomato. 

 we say and believe the Greater Baltimore Tomato is better in every way. Large, smooth, bright red color — very productive. 

 Fine for Table, Canning and Market. It ripens well up to the stem end, and does not crack. It is extremely heavy; a 

 measured bushel often weighing 65 lb. to 70 1b. Pnce: Pkt., 5 and 10c. ; 1 ounce. 20c.; 2 ounces, 35c.; M lb. 65c.; 1 lb. $2.00. 



John Baer Tomato. This Tomato was mtroduced last year; in some localities it gave great satisfaction, proving all 

 that was claimed for it, being the earhest, finest tomato yet introduced. One man who had five acres in this tomato 



says that he prefers it to all other earlv sorts. There are a number who have 

 made the same statement. Price:' Pkt., lOc; 1 ounce, 30c.; W lb., 90c.; 

 1 lb., $3.00.

 all over this country have proven by actual test that this Cucumber (Early 

 Fortune) is the earliest and best, rich dark green White Spine Cucumber on 

 ^^rth. Best for Table, for Market, for Shipping. It is the greatest producer 

 of all varieties, and at all stages it is dark rich green color and retains its color 

 until it is too hard for domestic use. Another thing, out of thousands of this 

 cucumber you will have to hunt hard to find an off-shape or off- 

 color. Price: Pkt., 5 and 10c. ; M lb., 30c., 1 lb., $1.00.
