White Beauty Tomato 
f< My Burgess’ Earliest and Best Tomatoes 
are making a splendid showing. I took off 
the first ripe tomatoes on July 16th, which 
is by far the earliest I have ever had, and we 
found them delicious.”—C. H. Wright, D. D. 
S., Fredericktown, Ohio. 
WHITE BEAUTY 
TOMATO 
Ivory-white in color and the flesh is al¬ 
most paper white. This new white va¬ 
riety is of large size and of excellent 
quality; contains absolutely no acid, so 
can be eaten by thousands of people who 
have heretofore avoided Tomatoes on ac¬ 
count of the acidity. Pkt., 10c; 3 pkts., 
25c; y 2 oz., 60c; oz., $1.00, postpaid. 
Mustard Spinach, or Tendergreen is a new vegetable of great merit, 
which is ready for the table in 3 to 4 weeks after seed is planted. It is a 
very mild Mustard with a distinct Spinach flavor. It is rapidly taking the 
place of Spinach, as it remains tender even in dry, hot weather. It is a 
wonderful producer, and is becoming very popular with market growers 
and home gardeners. It is an all season plant, resistant to insects and 
blight. The leaves, which are twice the size of Swiss Chard, are mostly 
used when young. It is not a “cut and come again” crop, but by repeated 
plantings every two weeks an abundant supply of delicious greens is avail¬ 
able throughout the entire summer, as well as spring and fall. It is ex¬ 
tremely resistant to cold weather, so early and late plantings are possible. 
The leaves are cooked and prepared for the table the same as Spinach. 
Don’t fail to give Mustard Spinach a trial this season. You will be 
pleased with it. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; % lb., 25c; lb., 70c; 2 lbs., $1.25;

Mustard Spinach, or Tendergreen 
One acre of Mustard Spinach, 25 days after planting, produced 3,500 
bundles like shown in the above illustration. These bundles sold at 10c 
each, giving a return of $350.00 an acre. 
HERBS 
They take up so little room, and as they are almost 
indispensable for savory cooking, a few should be 
planted in every garden. If they are to be used dur¬ 
ing the winter, the stalks should be cut on a dry day, 
when not quite in full bloom, and dried quickly in 
the shade. When dry they should be packed closely 
in air-tight boxes. Varieties marked with an aster¬ 
isk (*) are perennial.
