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 
attractive color and a smooth, silky 
skin, short topped, very small tap roots, 
ball shaped and one inch or less in dia¬ 
meter. Packet, 15c 
CUCUMBER, The Barteldes —A dark 
green, white-spine Cucumber. It is 
about ten inches by three inches in size, 
of good quality and appearance. It 
seems smoother and darker green than 
Clark's Special of the 193S selection, 
but not as prolific. ..It is claimed to 
be especially valuable to the shipper 
because of its very dark green color. 
Packet, 10c 
BEET 
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 Ball- 
head type, twelve inches high, produced 
by the Pennsylvania State College, 
Dept, of Horticulture. It is claimed 
that it will outyield in weight other va¬ 
rieties in sections adapted for a heavy 
late cabbage, that heads are extremely 
heavy and hard with small core. 
Packet, 10c 
CARROT Morse's Bunching 
The other gold medal winner. A cyl¬ 
indrical, 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. Quality fine, flesh tender 
and sweet. It was developed as a 
bunching carrot for long-distance ship¬ 
ment, but is equally desirable as a 
home garden 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 ap¬ 
proaching 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 
uniform sweet corn, 4|/2 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, resembling Early Egyptian but 
darker, earlier and shorter topped. 
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 
PARSLEY, Peerless —Of good bunch¬ 
ing size, very dark green, fine curled 
type, about eight inches tall. Its char¬ 
acteristics are hardiness 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 uni¬ 
formity. Packet, 10c
