VEGETABLE SEEDS 



A Few Particularly Worth- While Leaders 

 In Vegetables for Your Victory Garden 



Every square foot of soil in your garden can be made to yield maximum quantities of quality food with the help of the thorough- 

 bred vegetables described below. There are no better kinds — if we have others as good, you find them offered on subsequent pages. 

 No better or more dependable strains than ours can be bought elsewhere, regardless of price. The reputation, as reliable croppers, of 



every one of these kinds is based on remarkable performance records in all parts of the 

 country. They are not novelties, but tested and proven specialties. 



Beans, Full Measure 



A well-named, round-podded, green, stringless bush Bean of extraordinary yielding 

 power. The plants are thrifty and bear early, generally within sixty-five days after 

 seeds are sown. Pods average 6 to 63^2 inches long, vary from slightly curved to straight, 

 are deeply saddle-backed, tender, and of finest quality — always. Bearing clusters of 

 two to four pods, this sort is as fine a basket-filler as we know, comparing favorably with 

 Bountiful and other good sorts described on page 10. Pkt. 15 cts., pt. 40 cts., 

 qt. 75 cts., 2 qts. $1.45. 



Beans, Sure-Crop Wax 



Our customers will accuse us directly of being partial toward this sort, which we have 

 fully described and illustrated on page 11. But nothing we can say will do justice to the 

 superlative qualities and dependable characteristics of this remarkable sort. To use a 

 familiar expression, it always "brings home the bacon" in the form of wonderful crops 

 of fine pods. Pkt. 15 cts., pt. 45 cts., qt. 90 cts., 2 qts. $1.75. 



Sweet Corn, Beckert's Golden Evergreen 



But slightly later than well-known Golden Bantam, this specialty of ours combines 

 the standard of Golden Bantam quality with the 

 larger size and longer "fit-to-eat" characteristics 

 of Evergreen. Ears average 8 to 10 inches long, 

 are ten- to twelve-rowed, and the quality is always 

 top-notch. For full description, see page 18. 

 Pkt. 15c, pt. 35 cts., qt. 65 cts., 2 qts. $1.25. 



Peas, Little Marvel 



Truly a "Little Marvel" in every respect and a per- 

 fect jewel for the home-garden. Vines average 24 

 inches tall, and every vine carries almost uniformly 

 eight handsome pods, 3 inches long, mostly in pairs. 

 Pods are tightly filled with seven to eight large, dark 

 green Peas of a flavor that puts "Little Marvel" in 

 a class by itself. Matures 50 per cent of its pods in 

 sixty days from date of planting. Pkt. 15 cts., pt. 

 55 cts./qt. $1, 2 qts. $1.85. 



Peas, Marchioness. 



Slightly later in season of maturity than Little 

 Marvel, this early sweet wrinkled Pea bears 

 even larger pods, of handsome appearance, 

 containing exceptionally large Peas of remarkably 

 sweet quality. Vines of Marchioness grow about 

 4 feet tall, so some sort of trellis or brush should 

 be provided to which the vines can cling. Ready 

 for gathering in from eighty to eighty-five days 

 after planting. Pkt. 15 cts., pt. 55 cts., qt. $1, 

 2 qts. $1.85.

Peas, World Record. <»- strain 



7 of the ever-popu- 



lar Gradus, also well known as Dwarf Telephone or Prosperity in 

 some sections. World Record is slightly earlier than Gradus, breaking 

 all records by bearing 4-inch pods in eighty days after planting. The 

 vines grow 45 to 50 inches tall, depending largely on soil and season. 

 Planted early in April, World Record Peas will have yielded the bulk 

 of the crop by middle of July, when the ground becomes available for 

 other crops. Let World Record Peas help you make your Victory 



Garden profitable. Pkt. 15 cts., pt. 55 cts., qt. $1, 2 qts. $1.85. Little Marvel Peas
