Beans—Isbell’s Early Wonder Wax 
Best for Market and Home Garden. 
Wonder Wax belongs to the flat-podded class and grows a strong plant, 15 inches 
high and two feet across. It is well loaded with pods, five to seven inches long ; flat, 
plump, handsome and meaty, of a clear, waxy yellow color. As to quality the pods 
are tender, brittle and of fine texture. We claim this is the earliest wax-podded 
Bean. Practically rust-proof ; a bountiful yielder, in bearing for a long season, it is 
an ideal Bean for the home and market gardener. Ready to pick in 35 days. Pkt., 10c; 
lb., 40c, prepaid. Not prepaid, 3 lbs., 75c; 10 lbs., $1.75; 25 lbs,, $4.00. 
Beet—Ohio Canner 
Ohio 
Canner 
Beets. 
This Beet has been developed to meet the exacting demands of the canner for a 
smooth, perfectly formed Beet with deep colored flesh. It is the result of the inbreeding 
of many generations of Beets by the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station. The tops 
are small and dark colored. The roots are 
uniformly round in shape with a small tap 
root. The color of the flesh is intense deep 
blood-red without any trace of light zones. 
The smooth symmetrical form and superior 
color are combined to make this the most 
perfect canning and pickling Beet yet de¬ 
veloped. Commercial growers will find here 
a splendid paying sort for shipping to mar¬ 
kets demanding Beets of superior quality. It 
is also a splendid variety for 
the home garden because of the 
fine table quality. For home 
canning and pickling it is un¬ 
excelled. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; *4 
lb., 65c; lb., $2.00, prepaid. 
New Carrot 
Morse’s Bunching 
Isbell’s Early Wonder Wax Beans. 
New Carrot 
This new type was developed 
especially for shippers and 
market growers who demand a 
longer and better colored bunch¬ 
ing Carrot. When mature the 
roots measure 8 inches long 
1 Y 2 inches thick. They are 
indrical in form with 
little taper and both ends 
The color is a fine deep red both inside and 
outside. The tops are rather short and the fo¬ 
liage is coarsely cut but the stems are strong 
enough for bunching well. This Carrot can be 
pulled for bunching when only half grown. It is 
not quite as early as some but more than offsets this by superior 
smoothness and coloring. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; *4 lb., 75c; lb., 
$2.25, prepaid. 
Isbell’s Special Forcing or Longfellow Cucumber. 
Imperator 
An outstanding type of recent in¬ 
troduction which is a splendid bunch¬ 
ing sort and also a fine quality sort 
to grow for home use. The roots taper 
gradually from the well rounded 
shoulder and have semi-blunt ends. 
The flesh is rich orange in color and 
extends to the center of the root. 
Average length is 7 to 8% inches. 
The roots are always smooth, fine 
grained and very attractive when 
bunched for market. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; *4 lb., 65c; 
lb., $2.00, prepaid. 
Cucumber 
New Hybrid White Spine 
This is a hybrid of the well known Evergreen 
White Spine, and is a distinct impovement over 
that popular sort. The vines are vigorous and 
healthy and bear over a long period. The 
Cucumbers average about 9 inches long 
and are of fine slender, symmetrical shape. 
The handsome dark green color does not 
fade until the fruits are past edible con¬ 
dition. Hybrid White Spine is immensely 
popular with large growers and shippers 
on account of the splendid size, shape and 
color of the fruits and because it is such 
a reliable heavy yielding sort. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 20c; % lb., 50c; lb., $1.50, prepaid. 
Cucumber 
Isbell’s Special Forcing 
Also Known as Windermoor Wonder 
and Longfellow. 
We consider this to be the ideal cuke 
where an extra long slicing sort is de¬ 
sired, either for greenhouse or field cul¬ 
ture. 12 to 16 inches long, very uniform in 
shape and size, with decidedly few seeds. 
“Special Forcing” is real dark green, and 
will hold this color until ripe. All grow¬ 
ers that cater to a fancy trade want this 
variety, as it is a money maker, not only 
in the greenhouse, but also in the field. A 
very shy seeder, hence price will always 
be comparatively high. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; 
14 lb., 65c; lb., $2.00, prepaid.
