NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 
Beet—Detroit Dark Red 
We believe this is the oest beet for the market and home garden, and on account of its uniformly deep rich 
color, the most desirable for canning. The tops are small and upright in growth. The leaves are dark green, 
shaded with red. The-flesh is deep vermilion red, zoned with darker shade. Careful comparisons with all 
the prominent varieties on the market in this country and in Europe prove that the Detroit Dark Red Beet 
is the most uniform in shape and size and the most attractive in color. It is unsurpassed in quality.

Chicory—Witloof or French 
Endive 
This variety when grown and 
blanched by a distinct method of culture 
produces leaves with w T ide ribs or leaf 
stalks which form a cluster or head. Its 
main use is as a winter salad, the head 
being divided and served with French 
dressing. Abroad the heads are often 
boiled and later stewed in butter, milk 
and cracker crumbs. The flavor, which is slightly bitter, is the distinguishing characteristic that appeals to 
the epicure. In Brussels this vegetable is known as‘‘Witloof” and in Paris as “Endive.” ( See cut further

Celery—Columbia 
No better celery has ever been pro¬ 
duced than our strain of Columbia. It 
is early maturing. The plants are stocky 
and heavy, and when well grown the 
heart blanches to a very attractive light 
golden yellow. Columbia has no su¬ 
perior in beauty of golden shading, 
solidity and size ©f stalk. In rich nutty 
flavor we have found it unsurpassed. The 
variety is not only very desirable for 
the private garden but is well suited 
for the home market. Try it and be 
convinced. ( See cut on this page and

Radish — Early Scarlet Turnip, White Tipped 
One of the best early radishes for the home garden and a great favorite in large markets for early planting 
outdoors. The roots are nearly round, slightly flattened on the underside. The color is very bright deep rose- 
carmine scarlet with a distinctly white tip. The flesh is white and of the best quality. The stock we offer is 
exceptionally attractive in its splendid coloring. The scarlet is unusually deep and affords a distinct contrast 
with the large, clear white tip. ( See cut and further description , page 58) pkt. 10c; Oz.25c; 2Oz.40c; Va Lb. 75 c-

Radish—Icicle 
An excellent white variety with long, very smooth, clear white toots which are very crisp and tender. 
When mature the roots are four to five inches long but are ready for use when about half that size. 
One of the most desirable varieties for the home garden, furnishing roots that are usable almost as soon as the 
early turnip rooted sorts. ( See cut on this page and further description , page 59) pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 2 Ox.- 40c* Va Lb 75c-

Cabbage—Copenhagen Market 
This is undoubtedly the most valuable cabbage of recent introductions. The heads are exceptionally 
large for so early a variety, very solid and of excellent quality. Matures but a few days later than Early 
Jersey Wakefield and is equally valuable either for the home or market garden. Our strain produces the large 
round heads that are characteristic of this variety. (See cut and further description , page 80) Pkt. 10ci
