THESE NEW VEGETABLES ARE WORTHY 
OF A TRIAL 
BEANS—TENDERGREEN. The new early round-podded green variety, entirely without strings at all 
stages of growth. Pods are nearly straight, light in color, meaty and real tender of excellent 
quality. Very similar to Full Measure but hardier and a heavy cropper. Absolutely stringless. See 
price on page 2. 
SWEET CORN—Whipple’s Yellow. Ears are 8 to 9 inches long and have 14 to 18 rows of deep yellow 
kernels. Larger than Golden Bantam and about 3 days earlier. The earliest large yellow Sweet 
Corn. Stalks grow quite tall, and often produce two large ears. Growers find this to be onexof 
the most profitable varieties of Sweet Corn. See price on page 11. 
SWEET CORN—Golden Cross Bantam. A New Disease Resistant Sweet Corn—Immune from bacterial 
diseases. It is with satisfaction that we introduce this variety to our friends. It is slightly later 
and larger than Golden Bantam, being 6 feet in height, and the 10 to 14 rowed, ear being 7 to 8 inches 
long. It is slightly lighter than Golden Bantam in color. The stock offered cannot be saved for 
seed, it being necessary to do the hybridizing for each crop. See price on page 11. 
MUSKMELON— Delicious. Rightly named as it has a delicious flavor and is very early, two weeks earlier 
than Bender’s Surprise, and as early as the Golden Champlain, which has been considered the ear¬ 
liest Melon grown. The Melons are large, averaging about 5 lbs. or more, and are oval shaped. 
This Melon will not keep as well as Bender’s Surprise or Sugar Rock, but for home and roadside 
market use it has the advantage of earliness and high flavor. See prices on page 15.
