CULTURE—Make your first planting early, using about 
one ounce of seed to 100 feet of row. Plant for succes¬ 
sion. Use while young and tender. Make a late planting 
for winter use. 
604 — DETROIT DARK 
RED. It seems to be just 
what people want in a 
table beet. Doesn’t show 
white streaks or rings but 
is a deep rich red inside 
and out. A nice globe shape 
with a small tap root. 
Quality fine, crisp and 
sweet. 
601 — BLOOD TURNIP. 
An old standby. Round, 
flesh red with white rings. 
Second early. 
602—CRIMSON GLOBE. 
A handsome, bright red, 
globe shaped beet. Red 
flesh with white rings. 
607—EARLY WONDER. You will get your first mess 
of beets from this variety. Creamed or buttered they will 
be mighty good. Very early. Roots a flattened globe. 
Runs a nice even size and shape. Flesh blood red with 
rings of a lighter shade. 
608 — LONG BLOOD. A 
long or half long shape. 
Dark red inside and out- 
Tender and sweet. Very late. 
605—EARLY ECLIPSE. A 
quick growing tender beet. 
Bright red, round in shape. 
Flesh bright red with zones 
of a lighter shade or white. 
603 — CROSBY’S EGYP¬ 
TIAN. Early, rounding flat 
in shape. Flesh almost a 
solid red with sometimes 
rings of a lighter shade. 
Medium early. A nice even 
size and shape. 
263—SWISS CHARD, LUCULLUS. A splendid plant for 
greens- Belongs to the beet family. Large, tender, fleshy 
green leaves much crumpled and wrinkled.

"Cool and Crisp” if You Grow Your Own 
CULTURE—Plant when the ground is warm. Figure 
about three dozen hills to a packet of seed or 100 hills 
to the ounce. For late pickles, plant in late June. 
An Overgrown DARK GREEN SLICER but still a dark green 
364—DARK GREEN SLICED. As a slicer it is just a- 
bout as good as you can get them for home use. And a 
splendid market and shipping variety, too. A dark green 
and holds it’s color well. Medium sized, straight and 
rather blunt ended. It will grow fewer “nubbins” than 
most varieties. Early and bears well. 
351—CHICAGO PICKLE. A good old standby that is 
still hard to beat. Small, early and a good bearer. Med¬ 
ium green and blunt ended. 
EARLY FORTUNE 
353—EARLY FOR- 
TUNE. A nice 
smooth, uniform 
shaped cucumber. 
Medium size, mid¬ 
season to late. Best 
for slicing. Ends in¬ 
clined to taper. Flesh 
firm and crisp. Dark 
green and holds its 
color well. 
354—EARLY CLUSTER. Very early. Use them while 
they are small as these extreme early varieties turn yel¬ 
low quickly. 
358—EVERBEARING. Don’t expect too much of this 
variety just because it has a good name. We didn’t name 
it. Short and stubby but will do for early pickles. Believe 
you will like some of our other picklers better. 
357—EVERGREEN. A very productive pickle variety. 
Used by some for slicers. Holds color well. Ends taper 
slightly. 
356—HEINZ’S PICKLE. 
Better for real small pick¬ 
les than anything else. Not 
so good as a slicer. Too 
coarse and thick when it 
gets big. ' Cylindrical in 
shape. Very robust in 
growth and more rust re¬ 
sistant, than others. Keep 
it picked off and it will 
give you lots of nice HEINZ’S PICKLE 
pickles. 
360—HENDERSON’S PERFECTED WHITE SPINE. 
Medium early slicer. Nearly cylindrical in shape. Dark 
green. Moderately productive. 
361—IMPROVED LONG GREEN. If you want a long, 
dark green slicer here it is. Used by some for pickles. 
Doesn’t set on heavy enough to be real good for that. 
Yields fairly well. A beautiful long, slender slicer. Has 
few seeds. 
352—NATIONAL 
PICKLE. They 
make fine crisp 
pickles, any size 
you want from 
small wee ones to 
dill size. They set 
on freely and con¬ 
tinue to bear if you 
keep them picked 
off and don’t tramp 
the vines. I believe the shape is just what most of you 
like, straight, blunt ended and round. A good dark green 
color. A row or two across the garden ought to furnish 
you lots of pickles. 
NATIONAL PICKLE 
363—WHITE SPINE. Arlington strain. Mid-season. An 
old slicing variety. Medium size, ends somewhat tapering 
and showing tip stripes.
