NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 



Beans — Baldwin Wonder Wax 



This variety is a most prolific, wax podded pole sort of excellent 

 quality for snaps for the home garden. The vines are hardy and vig- 

 orous in growth, and when in condition for use as snaps the pods are 

 very long, about seven inches, uniformly cylindrical, exceptionally 

 brittle and stringless. The color is a very attractive light yellow. 

 We consider Baldwin Wonder Wax the most desirable bean of its 

 class yet introduced. (See cut and further description, page 26)

Beans — Detroit Mammoth Lima 



This comparatively new pole lima bean is the largest podded of 

 any variety of this class. The mammoth pods are nine to eleven 

 inches long, medium dark green in color and contain five to seven 

 beans of the most excellent quality. It comes into bearing medium 

 early and the vines which are vigorous and strong growing are ex- 

 ceptionally productive. A variety of distinctive merit for the home 

 garden. {See cut on this page and further description^ page 27)

Beet— Detroit Dark Red 



We believe this is the best beet for the market and home garden, 

 and on account of its uniformly deep rich color, the most desirable 

 for canning. The tops are small and upright in growth. The leaves 

 are dark green, shaded with red. The flesh is deep vermilion red, 

 zoned with darker shade. Careful comparisons with all the promi- 

 nent varieties on the market in this country and in Europe prove 

 that the Detroit Dark Red Beet is the most uniform in shape and 

 size and the most attractive in color. It is unsurpassed in quality.

Cabbage — Hollander or Danish Ball Head 



We have given a great deal of attention to this variety and offer 

 seed of our own growing which, judging from our trials, will produce 

 more uniformly typical heads than can be grown from stock obtain- 

 able elsewhere. Very hardy, sure heading, very solid, of good quality 

 and as one of the best keepers is particularly desirable for distant 

 markets or for late spring use. {See cut and further description, page 32)

Cabbage — Copenhagen Market 



This is undoubtedly the most valuable cabbage of recent intro- 

 ductions. The heads are exceptionally large for so early a variety, 

 very solid and of excellent quality. Matures but a few days later 

 than Early Jersey Wakefield and is equally valuable either for the 

 home or market garden. We have had in our trials samples of this variety from many other growers and 

 seedsmen; we have found none that is more desirable than the stock we offer. {See cut and further description^

Squash — Delicious 



The increased demand for this squash shows conclusively that its high quaHty has become more generally 

 known and appreciated. Many prefer it to Hubbard, so long regarded as the standard of excellence. Deli- 

 cious is a fall and winter squash of medium size. Although not very thick the shell is hard and strong. The 

 flesh is bright yellow, thick, very fine grained and of most excellent flavor. We beHeve the seed we offer is 

 equal to the best obtainable. {.See cut and further description, page 62) Pkt. 10c; Oz. I5c; 2 0z. 25c; H Lb. 40c;
