NEW SWEET CORN-EARLY IOWA 



This variety is, we believe, the earliest which produces ears of 

 marketable size. It is eailier bv a week than the regular strains of 

 Early Red, Early White, or Mammoth White Cory. It is a real 

 Sweet Corn of excellent quality. The illustration gives a good idea 

 of size and evenness of the rows of kernels. The ears are eight 

 rowed and are usually two to a plant. The stalks are short with 

 little foliage. 



Eai-ly Iowa has been given a thorough trial by our customers and 

 ourselves, especially through the Middle West and we have found 

 no Corn now in the market to equal it in the combination of 

 eailiness and size. 



Vaughan's Special The variety originated in Iowa 



where its breeder is always in 

 market a week or ten davs ahead of competitors. Pt

HOODOO— "The Money Melon' * 



This has never been a hoodoo for those who grow it. 

 On the contrary, a better Melon everywhere than the 

 Netted Gem (or Rooky Ford). It may well claim the 

 name HOODOO as indicatine the effect it has on other 

 Melons. When a prime consignment of this one strikes a 

 good market all the other kinds are promptly Hoodooed. 



It is the triumph of the grower in breeding for these 

 points — uniform size, closeness of netting, roundness of 

 form, tough rind, blight resisting. 



of fine grain (not stringy) and of 



t flavor. HOODOO Melons from 



Michigan points bring the highest prices on the Chicago 

 market, in competition with the whole United States. 



Size and Shape '^>l, °f hoodoo is just

 Rocky Ford) so that it may be served cut in halves.

 Early Sweet Corn 



NEW SPINACH-VAUGHAN'S GIANT 

 "FILL=BASKET" 



This novelty in "Greens" has been produced through the careful culture of 

 an expert German grower, and the "Fill-Basket" in Germany, is regarded as 

 the best Spinach ever produced. With our customers and in our trial 

 grounds it has given phenomenal results. The enormous plant illustrated on 

 this page grew twenty-four inches across on rich soil; twice as large as the Victoria. 

 The large quantity of bulky leaves may be seen in the center of the well developed 



lant shown in the picture, 

 "he dark, glossy , green leaves 

 have a strong undulating sur- 

 face and are notably thick 

 in texture. In eating qualities 

 the plant is very tender, well 

 flavored and can be cut ear- 

 ly. M lb 10c, lb 25c. 



THE DAVIS PERFECT CUCUMBER 



Davis Perfect is today the most popular Cucumber of the extra long white 

 spine tyi>e. It is a selection made by a veteran outdoor and greenhouse Cucum- 

 ber grower who has combined the most desirable features of the extra long type 

 — length, slimness, dark green color, and at the same time it is an extremely 

 vigorous and productive variety. On account of its vigor Davis Perfect is a 

 better blight resister than the other long 

 sorts. 



Our seed has been most careftilly re- 

 selected each year and our seed fields run 

 remarkably even in size, shape, and color.

NEW FORCING RADISH 

 GIANT BUTTER 



A Novelty of Sterling Merit. 



This is by far the largest of the early, tur- 

 nip, forcing radishes, exceeding in siza even 

 the Crimson Giant or Wurzburger. By care- 

 ful selection Giant Butter has been bred 

 true to type so that there is almost no de- 

 viation from its fine round shape. In color 

 it is vi\'id scarlet. A most desirable .green- 

 house or hotbed variety for forcint — the 

 tops are extremely short and the tap root is 

 small. The quality is unexcelled, t<'nder, 

 crisp and does not become hollow or pithy.
