VEGETABLE SEED NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 
Try these fine new strains this year. Each has much 
merit and will well stand comparison. They have been 
specially selected for their very high quality and definite 
purpose. Each will earn a prominent place in its class. 
Certified Penn State Ballhead Cabbage 
This is a special strain produced from stock seed supplied by the 
originator. Dr. C. E. Myers, of Pennsylvania State College. It is 
a very hard, tight-headed selection of short-stemmed Danish Ball- 
head, and for this reason yields a huge tonnage per acre. Plants 
may be set closer because of restricted leaf-growth. The heads are 
solid, uniform, fine-grained, on short stems and keep wonderfully. 
This seed is supplied in sealed packages only. 34 oz - 25 cts.; 
oz. 75 cts.; 341b. $2; lb. $7. 
Nantes XXX Carrot 
This, a de luxe strain of the well-known Nantes Carrot, has 
been developed to meet the most exacting needs for uniformity of 
form, size, and color. The cleaner, brighter orange, finer textured 
roots mature earlier than the regular strain. (See color illustra¬ 
tion inside back cover.) Oz. 25 cts.; ^lb. 70 cts.; Ib. $2.25. 
Certified Penn State Ballhead Cabbage 
Snowball No. 291 Cauliflower 
This excellent strain has been grown in Europe for the past 
three years, and comes to us with most enthusiastic credentials 
as to its earliness, high quality, and uniformity in type and time 
of maturity. It is recommended for earliest outdoor crop. 34oz. $1; 
oz. $3; Mli>* $11. Seed offered in 
limited quantities to supply as 
many as possible. 
Forbes Reliance Cauliflower 
Forbes Reliance 
Cauliflower 
A new main-crop—big-crop—sure-crop 
strain that we have watched with interest 
and growing confidence during the past 
few years. The large, thrifty plants are 
thoroughly well protected, both by the 
form of their growth and by the abundant 
foliage. The heads vie as to size, color, 
and weight with the best. We believe 
the plants are more than ordinarily 
resistant to the climatic and moisture 
extremes to which Cauliflower crops are 
so unusually sensitive. 34 oz - $1; oz. $3; 
341b. $11. Supply limited. 
California Wonder XXX 
Pepper 
Viking Spinach 
This outstanding new variety results from a cross between King of 
Denmark and Viroflay. It produces plants similar in habit to King of 
Denmark but the leaves are large, round, and very dark green with a fair 
crumple in cool weather. The plants stand longer than King of Denmark 
without going to seed. Lb. 40 cts.; 10 lbs. $3.30; 100 lbs. $28. 
Light Yellow Straightneck Squash 
This is a great improvement over the regular Summer Straightneck. 
It has pale lemon-yellow Squashes which will come over 85 per cent straight. 
They are smoother than in the original strain and the light yellow color 
gives them a fresh appearance which makes them sell more readily. Oz. 
25 cts.; MIb. 65 cts.; lb. $2. 
Marhio Tomato 
The fruits are dark rosy pink in color, deep, smooth, round, and very 
solid. The vines, similar to Marglobe, are usually staked in field-culture, 
allowing 5 clusters to set and then pinching out the tops. The plant-yield 
will run 6 to 8 pounds of fruit. Trials under varied climatic and cultural 
conditions have been highly satisfactory. Under greenhouse culture, the 
vines will reach 9 to 10 feet in height with 12 clusters, each bearing 5 to 
7 blossoms, nearly all of which will produce large fruits. A very common 
yield is 10 to 12 pounds of ripe marketable fruit per plant. In the spring 
greenhouse crop the average fruit will weigh 5 to 534 ounces. This splendid 
variety was developed by the Wooster, Ohio Agricultural Experiment 
Station. 34 oz - 30 cts.; oz. 85 cts.; 3 4\b- $2.20; lb. $8. 
Comet Tomato 
This fine variety, best known for greenhouse culture, is now often 
staked in outdoor culture. The fruits, borne in clusters of 6 to 8, are bright 
scarlet, smooth, and solid. They run from 3 to 334 inches in diameter, 
and are somewhat larger than those of Double-Purpose but are smaller 
than the general field varieties. Our strain is very carefully selected. 
34oz. $1.20; oz. $4; %\b. $14. 
California Wonder XXX Pepper 
This strain, produced for us by the originator, has 
the remarkable characteristics which caused so much 
favorable comment when this variety was first intro¬ 
duced. (See color illustration inside back cover.) Oz» 
90 cts.; MIb. $2.75; Ib. $10. 
Imperial Special Curled Kale 
This is a very heavily curled and very uniform strain of 
long-standing Siberian Kale with fine blue-green, purple- 
tinged color. The field we illustrate shows Imperial Special 
Curled on the left compared with regular Siberian on the 
right. Oz. 25 cts.; 341b. 65 cts.; Ib. $2; 10 lbs. $15.
