Cabbage 
The earliest large round- 
headed cabbage yet introduced. 
The heads are of exceptionally 
large size for so early a variety. 
The plant is of vigorous habit 
but compact, with short stem 
and few outer leaves which are 
of rather upright growth. The 
leaves are medium light green, 
nearly round, comparatively 
thick and smooth. The heads 
are round, very solid and of 
exceptionally good quality. 
Its earliness, compact growth, 
uniformity and size of head, 
firmness and most excellent 
quality combine to make Co¬ 
penhagen Market the most 
valuable cabbage of recent in¬ 
troduction. We recommend it 
unreservedly both for the 
home garden and the market 
gardening trade. ( See cut)

Columbia Celery 
Those who know Celery at its best, gardeners who get the highest price for their product and connoisseurs 
who prefer to go without rather than eat Celery of inferior quality, have long recognized our strain of Golden 
Self Blanching as without a superior. To this discriminating clientage we 
commend our strain of Columbia as being the peer of Golden Self Blanch¬ 
ing. It comes into use only a trifle later and is very vigorous and hardy. 
In beauty of golden color and solidity and size of stalk it is unsurpassed. 
In delicacy of flavor Columbia is considered by many to surpass Golden 
Self Blanching. Try our strains of these sterling varieties. {For further 
descriptions, cuts and prices, see pages 28 and 29 ) 
Klondike Cucumber 
Market growers have of late years found an increasing demand for an 
ideal slicing cucumber and they have been seeking a variety which would 
grow to a suitable size for shipping without turning a very light green color 
as do many varieties of excellent quality. Klondike is a recent develop¬ 
ment which seems to answer fully all the requirements of an ideal slicing 
cucumber. It is a medium early, white spined cucumber of handsome, 
very dark green color and of excellent quality. Vines very hardy and 
productive. Fruits when mature about eight inches long, uniform in size 
and shape. The dark green color is retained much longer and is affected 
less by the hot sun than any other sort with which we are familiar. ( See 
cut on this page and farther description, page 33) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 20c;

Snow’s Pickling Cucumber 
Pickle factories are very exacting in their requirements for a bottle 
pickle and during recent years in the various growing districts one strain 
has been rapidly succeeded by another in popular favor. Snow’s Pickling 
is an early maturing, very small dark green cucumber, cylindrical and 
square ended, which is used exclusively by many large factories and the 
call for it led us to make careful trials and procure from the originator a 
choice supply for use as stock seed. We have been growing this variety 
ourselves for three years, giving special attention to purity and uniformity 
of type and we believe the seed we offer meets in all respects the require¬ 
ments of those who want an ideal bottle pickle. ( See cut and farther des¬ 
cription, page 32) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 20c; Va Lb. 30c; Lb. $1.00 
Delicious Squash 
We are convinced that this fall and winter squash is particularly ex¬ 
cellent in quality and in that respect it is now by many considered even 
better than the Hubbard which has been so long looked upon as the 
standard. The fruits are of medium size, moderately hard, usually dark 
green in color and are without any hard shell. The flesh is thick, becom¬ 
ing when cooked deep yellow in color and very fine grained. Although 
when first introduced a little uneven in shape and exterior color, we have 
by continued and careful selection made a marked improvement in uni¬ 
formity of type. ( See cut and farther description, page 54) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c;
