 and absolutely free from spines. It is very early and produces a large 

 crop of handsome purple fruits of the largest size and finest quality; 

 the plants usually bear 8 to 10 immense fruits. Crop failure. 



KALE SIBEKIAN. 



Our stock of this well-known variety is carefully selected to a uniform 

 type, which is far superior to the strains usually sold. In color it 

 cannot be surpassed, and its green, curly leaves are tender and of 

 delicate flavor. Its uniformly dwarf habit renders it particularly 

 valuable for wintering over in the South for spring marketing. Price, 

 16c. oz.,45c. ilb., $1.50 lb. 



DWARF GREEN CURLED SCOTCH KALE. 



Largely grown for supplying "greens" during the fall, winter and 

 spring; also used small, like spinach; also useful in garnishing. The 

 plants are hardy above zero; frost improves the quality. The leaves 

 are very large, deeply curled and fringed, and of that desirable rich 

 bright green color; the plants are of very dwarf, even growth, the leaves 

 hugging the ground, so that they are not broken off by heavy, wet snow, 

 as often happens with taller types. Price, 25c. oz., 70c. \ lb., $2.50 lb. 



American "Pure Culture" Mushroom Spawn. 



Recent discoveries in the production of Mushroom Spawn enable 

 pure cultures to be taken direct from selected specimens of specific 

 varieties, insuring a greater yield of more uniform and marketable 

 product than spawn "run" from hit-and-miss large, small and unevenly 

 shaped and colored varieties of mushrooms. It is sold in bricks meas- 

 uring about 85 X 5i X I5 inches. Each brick weighs from 1\ to I5 

 lbs. sufficient to spawn an area of 9 square feet. Price per brick, 26c.,

 growing section in Southern New Jersey, where earliness and quality secure profitable returns. 

 The plant is of neat, moderate growth, but quite hardy and well set with clusters of from 5 to 

 8 fruits, averaging 2J^ inches through nearly all ripening up remarkably early and evenly;

 top; the color is an attractive, vivid scarlet. The skin is tough and the flesh unusually solid
