 Cabbage 



The earliest large round- 

 headed cabbage yet introduced. 

 The heads are of exceptionally 

 large size for so early a variety. 

 The plant is of vigorous habit 

 but compact, with short stem 

 and few outer leaves which are 

 of rather upright growth. The 

 leaves are medium light green, 

 nearly round, comparatively 

 thick and smooth. The heads 

 are round, very solid and of 

 exceptionally good quality. 

 Its earliness, compact growth, 

 uniformit}- and size of head, 

 firmness and most excellent 

 quality combine to make Co- 

 penhagen ]Market the most 

 valuable cabbage of recent in- 

 troduction. We recommend it 

 unreservedly both for the 

 home garden and the market 

 gardening trade. ( See cut)

Columbia Celery 



Those who know Celery at its best, gardeners who get the highest price for their product and connoisseurs 

 who prefer to go without rather than eat Celery of inferior quality, have long recognized our strain of Golden 



Self Blanching as without a superior. To this discriminating clientage we 

 commend our strain of Columbia as being the peer of Golden Self Blanch- 

 ing. It comes into use only a trifle later and is very vigorous and hardy. 

 In beauty of golden color and solidity and size of stalk it is unsurpassed. 

 In delicacy of flavor Columbia is considered by many to surpass Golden 

 Self Blanching. Try our strains of these sterling varieties. {For further 

 descriptions, cuts and prices', see pages 28 and 2g) 



Klondike Cucumber 



Market growers have of late years found an increasing demand for an 

 ideal slicing cucumber and they have been seeking a variety which would 

 grow to a suitable size for shipping without turning a very light green color 

 as do many varieties of excellent quality. Klondike is a recent develop- 

 ment which seems to answer fully all the requirements of an ideal slicing 

 cucumber. It is a medium early, white spined cucumber of handsome, 

 very dark green color and of excellent quality. Vines ver\' hardy and 

 productive. Fruits when mature about eight inches long, uniform in size 

 and shape. The dark green color is retained much longer and is affected 

 less by the hot sun than any other sort with which we are familiar. ( See

Snow's Pickling Cucumber 



Pickle factories are very exacting in their requirements for a bottle 

 pickle and during recent years in the various growing districts one strain 

 has been rapidly succeeded by another in popular favor. Snow's Pickling 

 is an early maturing, very small dark green cucumber, cylindrical and 

 square ended, which is used exclusively b^' many large factories and the 

 call for it led us to make careful trials and procure from the originator a 

 choice supply for use as stock seed. We have been growing this variety 

 ourselves for three years, giving special attention to purity and uniformity 

 of type and we believe the seed Ave offer meets in all respects the require- 

 ments of those who want an ideal bottle pickle, ( See cut and fuHher des- 

 cription, page 32) Pkt. 5c; Oz. lOc; 2 Oz. 20c; 1/4 Lb. 30c; Lb. $1.00 



Delicious Squash 



\Ve are convinced that this fall and winter squash is particularly ex- 

 cellent in quality and in that respect it is now by many considered even 

 better than the Hubbard which has been so long looked upon as the 

 standard. The fruits are of medium size, moderately hard, usually dark 

 green in color and are without any hard shell. The flesh is thick, becom- 

 ing when cooked deep A^ellow in color and very fine grained, ^ Although 

 when first introduced a little uneven in shape and exterior color, we have 

 by continued and careful selection made a marked improvement in uni- 

 formitv of tvpe. {See cut and fiudher description, page ^4) Pkt. 5c; Oz. lOc;
