NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 



Asparagus — Washington 



This variety which was developed by the Ignited States Department of Agriculture has proven as nearly 

 rust proof as is possible to produce Asparagus. This in addition to the vigor of the plants, the thick shoots, the 

 heavy yield and fine flavor make it an exceptionally valuable variety. The shoots are of rich, dark green color 

 tinted somewhat darker at tips. Highly recommended for both the home or market garden. {See further descrip- 

 tion^ page 21.) SEED— Pkt. 10c; Oz. 45c; 2 Oz. 80c; 1/4 Lb. $1.25; Lb. $4.50. ROOTS— Postpaid, $3.25 per 100. By freight, 

 express or parcel post, not prepaid, $3.00 per 100. 



Mustard — Florida Broad Leaf 



This new variety is quite distinct from the Large Smooth or the Chinese Broad Leaf In that the plants are 

 larger and taller growing and remain in condition for use much longer without bolting to seed. The leaves are 

 large, comparatively smooth and have a distinct broad mid-rib. It produces considerably more leaf growth 

 than other sorts and the leaves when cooked are of excellent quality. A valuable addition to the list of varieties 



heretofore offered. Pkt. lOc; Oz. I5c; 2 Oz. 25c;l/4Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25 



Celery — Golden Yellow Self Blanching 



Special attention is called to this sort, npt only 

 because it is one of the most desirable varieties for 

 either the home or the market garden, but because 

 we believe that the seed we offer is . the very best 

 that skill can produce. It has been carefully grown 

 by experienced cultivators and every care has been 

 taken to secure seed of the highest quality. We 

 recommend this variety and particularly our stock of 

 it as capable of giving results satisfying tQ the most 

 critical trade. We offer only seed that has been 

 proven on our own Trial Grounds. {See further 

 description, page 35) Pkt. 10c; 1^2 Oz. $1.00; Oz. $1.60; 

 2 Oz. $2.75; Lb. $10.00 



Celery — Easy Blanching 



This comparatively new early variety which we 

 are oft'ering this year for the first time is highly 

 recommended for both the home and market garden. 

 It is a vigorous grower and is, we believe, less sus- 

 ceptible to unfavorable growing conditions than most 

 other early maturing sorts. The plants are of rapid 

 growth and produce rather thick solid stalks which 

 are of excellent quality and rich nutty flavor. Although 

 one of the earliest varieties to blanch it is also an 

 excellent keeper. {See further description, page j^.)

Beans — Nancy D. Pole 



A new green podded variety that is unsurpassed 

 in quality for use as green shelled beans. In season it 

 matures with Kentucky Wonder and the vines are 

 exceptionally vigorous and productive. The pods 

 are nearly as long as those of Kentucky Wonder but 

 are broader and flatter and somewhat lighter in color. 

 When in condition for use as snaps the pods are 

 nearly stringless and are of excellent quality. 



Our original stock of this bean was sent us several 

 years ago by a Mrs. Nancy Davis of Hazard, Ken- 

 tucky, who requested that we call It the Nancy Davis 

 Bean. As the variety known as Scotia or Striped 

 Creaseback Is now offered by one or two seedsmen 

 under the name of Nancy Davis we have, to avoid 

 confusion, called this variety simply "Nancy D."
