RADISH 
Glowing Ball 
• First gold medal winner. A round, 
forcing, short-top Radish, very bright 
scarlet with almost an orange glow. It 
can be used for greenhouse plantings as 
well as for the open. It has a very at¬ 
tractive color and a smooth, silky skin, 
short topped, very small tap roots, ball 
shaped and one inch or less in diameter. 
Packet, 15c. 
BEET, Perfected Detroit — An early, 
round, dark red root, with medium foliage. 
It seems to have the color, shape, top and 
earliness desired in this type, it cans red 
with no browns nor purples, has no white 
rings and has a fine top for bunching. 
Short Crop. No Seed Available. 
CUCUMBER, The Barteldes — A dark 
green, white-spine Cucumber. It is about ten 
inches by three inches in size, of good qual¬ 
ity and appearance. It seems smoother and 
darker green than Clark's Special of the 1933 
selection, but not as prolific. It is claimed 
to be especially valuable to the shipper be- 
cause of its very dark green color. 
Packet, 10c. 
CORN, Stowell Hybrid — Stowell's type 
sweet Corn of medium height; attractive, 
heavy yielding, white grained, 16-18 row, 
ears well filled out and with a tendency 
towards drought resistance. Packet, 10c.

Asgrow Wonder 
Second gold medal winner. A deep 
red, large, semi-flat beet with rounded 
bottom, tops reaching about fifteen 
inches. Judges’ reports show it to be 
very uniform, exceptionally dark in¬ 
terior, good flavor and a fine Early 
Wonder type beet with smooth ex¬ 
terior, medium tops and collar and good 
tap root. Packet, 15c. 
CABBAGE, Penn State Ballhead—It is 
a short-stem, dark bluish green Ballhead type, 
twelve inches high, produced by the Pennsyl¬ 
vania State College, Dept, of Horticulture. 
It is claimed that it will outyield in weight 
other varieties in sections adapted for a 
heavy late cabbage, that heads are extremely 
heavy and hard with small core. Packet, 10c. 
PARSLEY, Peerless—Of good bunching 
size, very dark green, fine curled type, about 
eight inches tall. Its characteristics are hardi¬ 
ness and holding its color through the winter, 
which makes it excellent for market gardeners 
as well as for home gardeners. A good strain 
of good quality and fair uniformity. 
Packet, 10c. 
BEET, Good for All—A refined and 
pure strain of Detroit Dark Red, roots globe- 
shaped at small size for canning, pickling 
and cooking whole. Color is uniformly very 
dark red; tops are small. Packet, 10c.

CARROT 
Morse’s Bunching 
The other gold medal winner. A 
cylindrical, half-long carrot, of ideal 
size and shape for bunching. Color is a 
fine deep orange throughout, cores 
small and indistinct. Tops are short, 
rather bushy and strong, but not coarse 
at the neck. Qdality fine, flesh tender 
and sweet. It was developed as a bunch¬ 
ing carrot for long-distance shipment, 
but is equally desirable as a home gar¬ 
den variety. Packet, 15c. 
ENDIVE, Batavian Full Heart—Judges’ 
reports on this show that it grows off slower 
than Giant Batavian but increases its full 
heart after approaching its large, full size. 
It has short, wide leaves of good quality, and 
is very attractive. About six inches high and 
rather uniform. Packet, 10c. 
CORN, Kingscrost —An early and uni¬ 
form sweet Corn, A/i to 5 feet tall, yellow 
grained; judged to be earlier, more uniform 
and of better quality than Golden Bantam. 
Packet, 10c. 
BEET, Little Marvel—A dark red, early 
flat forcing variety with shortest foliage, re¬ 
sembling Early Egyptian but darker, earlier 
and shorter topped. Packet, 10c.
