 LawrC Grass Seed. 



No seed ever sown can 

 surpass this well-tried 

 mixture. The seed is 

 selected and mixed to 

 get the quickest, greenest, and thickest sod possible. 

 I put plenty of perennial grasses in this to stand for 

 years and through the longest droughts. A deep 

 velvety green is soon obtained by sowing this seed. 



1 pint 20c,; quart, 35c.; 1 peck $2.00; 1 bushel $5.50. 

 A quart will sow 300 square feet. The prices for pint and 

 quart are postpaid; peck and bushel prices buyer pays ex- 

 press charges. 



Ornamental Grasses, Mixed. 



These Grasses, if cut before they are entirely ripe, 

 will be found useful in the formation of winter bou- 

 quets, in connection with the Everlastings. More than 

 ten of the very finest sorts are included in this mix- 

 ture. Large packet, 5c. 



Everlasting or Eternal Flowers. 



Indispensable for winter and Christmas decorations. 

 Cut before entirely ripe, and hang heads downward 

 in a cool, dark place. This collection contains Acro- 

 clinium, Ammobium, Gomphrena, Helichrysum, Rho- 

 danthe and Xeranthemum, all the finest varieties, 

 mixed. Large packet, 6c. 



Golden Bantam Sweet Corn. 



par and above the best of all early varieties. Extremely hardy 

 and can be planted earlier than any sweet corn — and said to be 



ready for the table sooner than any other sort. It is very rich, and sweet in flavor, and far ahead of Cory and all 



older sorts in this respect. Packet, 2 oz., lOc; % pt., 15c.; pt., 30c. 



Swiss Chard. 



Can be used all sum- 

 mer and repeated 

 cuttings can be made from same plant. 

 Called "Cut and Come Again Spinach." If 

 you have room for but one vegetable in 

 your garden, this is it. Far superior to the 

 common beet for greens and equal to spin- 

 ach. Sown early in the spring, in rows i6 

 in. apart, thin out to 6 in. Is fit for use 

 for greens sooner than any other variety. 

 For summer use it is superior to spinach, 

 because it can be cut throughout the entire 

 summer and fall. 



Packet. 5c.; oz. ISc; Va lb.. 35c.; lb., 75c. 



Cos Lettuce Trianon. 



I have grown Cos Lettuce for many 

 years, and each year as I gather the 

 immense heads (sometimes i foot high 

 and weighing 3 or 4 lbs.), blanched to 

 a crystal whiteness and so tender and 

 sweet you cannot refrain from eating 

 them, I wonder why it is they are so 

 little known. They are better than any 

 other Lettuce. We always use them in 

 preference to any other _ sort. Tie 

 together six days before using. 



Trianon Self Folding Cos. 



Very early, very white, tender and 

 sweet. Packet, 5c. ; oz., 15c. 



White Paris Cos. Used by the 



French more largely than any other, 

 rather later than Trianon; produces 

 heads weighing 6 lbs. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c. 



E*.i^f#«A Broad-leaved Batavia. The Escarolle&the French use so largely 

 nUlUV. £qj. salads; leaves used for greens, and in France the most popular 

 of all salad for fall and winter. Very sweet and very pleasant. Pkt,, Scj Q«., 15c. 



Kohl-Rabi 



White Goliath. 



Growing as large as a cro- 

 quet ball. The flesh is sweet, 

 tender and delicious; equal 

 to Cauliflower and far supe- 

 rior to Turnips. Plant early 

 and begin to use when sjze 

 of medium orange. Cook like 

 Turnips, mashed or cut in 

 cubes and creamed. 



Packet, 5c.; oz., 15c. 

 — - . ' A Celery 



CeleriaC. producing 



a root like a turnip. An ex- 

 cellent vegetable, highly fla- 

 vored, sweet and pleasant. 

 Equal to Celery and ready 

 much earlier, and a good 

 easy-keeping winter vege- 

 table. Packet, 5c.; oz., 15c.
