BEET 
Michell’s “Winter Keeper” 
See color plate opposite. 
This grand beet is almost globe-shaped, tapering slightly 
toward the root. The dark blood-red flesh is always tender; the 
hard, stringy, woodenlike substance, so common in many varieties, 
is entirely absent in this sort. It is ideal as a late Summer cropper, 
or for use during Winter and Spring, until new beets are on the 
market again. Pkt., 10c.; 30c. per oz.; 34 lb., 70c.; $2.25 per lb., 
postpaid. 
BROCCOLI, EARLY GREEN CALABRESE 
This is the variety so much sought by the Italian trade and has 
become quite popular in our American gardens; forms a fair size, 
green head; after this is cut from the main stalk, new sprouts de¬ 
velop, which form small heads of a loose nature. In order to get an 
early crop, sow seed in cold frames, transplanting at the proper 
time; ready for use in about four months from sowing of seed. 
Prepare this delicious vegetable same as you would cauliflower. 
Pkt., 15c.; 35c. per 34 oz.; oz., 65c.; $2.25 per 34 lb., postpaid. 
JAPANESE 
CLIMBING 
CUCUMBER 
The vines attain almost 
twice the length of other 
varieties and can be suc¬ 
cessfully grown on fences, 
poles or trellises. The 
extra long, light-green 
fruits are produced in 
abundance; flesh thick 
and firm, never bitter; 
a superb variety for slic¬ 
ing; when young make 
fine pickles. The fruits 
are raised well above the 
ground, so seldom suffer 
from wet weather or in¬ 
sects. Pkt., 15c.; 40c. 
per oz.; 34 lb., $1.00, pre¬ 
paid. 
SUGAR CORN 
PHILADELPHIA FAVORITE 
A grand variety of Penna. origin and marketed in Philadelphia 
and vicinity for a number of years. Stalks grow to a height of 434 
to 5 feet and produce two to three nice ears to a stalk, averaging 8 
to 9 inches in length and which are covered tightly with a dark 
green husk; kernels pearly white and deliciously sweet; matures in 
75 to 78 days, depending on location. Pkt., 10c.; 25c. per 34 lb.; 
lb., 40c.; 75c. per 2 lbs.; 5 lbs., $1.75; $3.30 per 10 lbs.; 25 lbs.,

WATERMELON, TANGERINE

with mottled stripes of light green; flesh a decided pink and of 
finest quality. When the thin rind is broken, the flesh separates 
the same as a tangerine. Pkt., 15c.; 35c., per oz.; 34 lb., $1.00, 
prepaid. 
PEAS, EXTRA EARLY EIGHT WEEKS 
This is one of the earliest dwarf Peas in cultivation, com¬ 
mencing to bear 6 34 weeks after planting. They usually grow to 
a height of from 12 to 15 inches; on account of their dwarf habit 
they can be planted closer than most other varieties, yielding a 
greater quantity of peas from a comparatively small space of 
ground than from almost any other variety. The pods are of 
medium size and well filled with peas of extra fine quality. Pkt., 
10c.; 25c. per 34 lb.; lb., 40c.; 75c. per 2 lbs.; 5 lbs., $1.75; $3.30 
per 10 lbs.; 25 lbs., $7.50.

oz.; 34 lb., 40c.; $1.25 per lb., postpaid.
