Penn State Ballhead Cabbage 
Certified 
This strain, originated by our good friend, Dr. C. E. Myers 
of the Pennsylvania State College, possesses distinct char¬ 
acteristics. The head has a shorter core than the original 
Danish Ballhead and the leaves have slender midrib. The 
stem is short, the head large, firm, and heavy, and in shape 
more broad than high. Its keeping qualities are unequalled.

Oh io Canner Beet 
Introduced by the Ohio Experiment Station, through the 
patience and pains taken by Dr. Roy Magruder, now of 
the U. S. Department of Agriculture. He started breeding 
toward the production of an early maturing, round, solid, 
dark red fleshed Beet specifically adapted for canning pur¬ 
poses. Out of thirty samples of beets in 1923, Dr. Magruder 
selected the two outstanding varieties which were Holmes’ 
Deep Blood Turnip and Chicago Market. The Ohio Canner 
is the result of this seed selection carried on for the past 
nine years. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; lb., 45c; lb., $1.50. 
Penn State Ballhead Cabbage. 
Tendersweet Carrot 
A Carrot for which the critical market gardener has been 
looking. Its richness and sweet flavor cannot be found in 
other varieties. Its color is deep orange, it is practically 
coreless, and its shape is long and somewhat tapering. With 
its rounded shoulders and strong top it bunches well, it fills 
the demand for a longer Carrot. Gardeners will find this 
variety one of the very best for market and home use. 
Pkt., 15c; oz., 20c; 14 lb., 65c; lb., $2.00. 
Ohio Canner Beets. 
“My neighbors have gotten it in their heads that because I raise 
better vegetables than they, that I have better seed than they. The 
seed I have gotten from you before this has been so satisfactory that 
I am sending you my order again.”—C. M. Handley, Coshocton, 
Co., O

Tendergreen Stringless Beans. 
Detroit Dark Red 
Beet 
This is not a Lima but a pole bean that is 
very prolific. More delicious than the Lima. 
Illustration portrays accurately the Holmes’ 
Butter Bean. We want every farmer and 
every private gardener to give these beans a 
trial and be convinced that they are all we 
represent them to be. They ripen earlier 
than the Lima bean. The pods hang in clus¬ 
ters, and they are much thicker through Holmes’ Butter Beans, 
than the Improved Bush Lima. Pkt., 10c: 
14 lb., 25c; lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 70c; 5 lbs., $1.20; 10 lbs., $2.20,
