THE GREATEST NOVELTY IN QPAPK'C' FAPIfAMA THE EARLIEST LARGE 



TOMATOES EVER OFFERED Or/\IVlS.O ili^riL.4/\lN/\ TOMATO iN THE WORLD 



Most famous of all extreme early Tomatoes. Two weeks ahead of all others— think of it ! This Tomato is not 

 only remarkable for its earliness, but for its very large, uniform size, handsome shape, beautiful red color, and 

 wonderful productiveness, standing unequaled and alone in this respect. Its solidity, fine size and quality are 

 unsurpassed. .1i6,000 was cleared by a Norfolk trucker in one year. My seed is from selected stock of Mr. Sparks' 

 choicest, extrenie=early, free=fruitirig strain, as desirable for tlie kitchen garden and table as for market.

I Swiss Chard, ^^" ^® ^^^^ ^" 



I MM^i.a>j \yit,%^i K^, summer and repeat- 

 ed 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, be- 

 cause it can be cut throughout the entire 



: summer and fall. An ounce is sufficient for 



j a medium sized family. 



Packet, 5c.; oz., lOc; i< lb., 20c.; lb., 60c. 



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 cann )t refrain from eating 

 them, I wonder why it is they are so 

 little known. Tney are better than any 

 other Lettuce. We always use them in 

 preference to any other sort. Tie to- 

 gether six days bofore using. 



Trianon Self Folding Cos. 



Very early, very white, tender and 

 sweet. Packet, Sc; 02., 15c.

 rather later than Trianon ; produces 

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



En.dil1f> Broad-leaved Batavia. The Escarolle the French use so largely 

 s^fLU,LUv. for salads ; leaves used for greens, and in France the most popular 

 of all salad for fall and winter. Very sweet and very pleasant. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c. 



Kohl-llabi 



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 size of 

 medium orange. Cook like 

 Turnips, mashed or cut in 

 cubes and creamed. 



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



A Celery 

 producing a 

 root like a turnip. An excel- 

 lent vegetable, highly fla- 

 vored, sweet and pleasant. 

 Equal to Celery and ready 

 much earlier, and a good easy 

 keeping winter vegetable.
