Swiss Chard. 
Can be used all 
summer and repeat¬ 
ed cuttings can be made from same plant. 
Called “Cut and Come Again Spinach.’’ If 
you have room for but one vegetable in 
your garden, this is it. Far superior to the 
common beet for greens and equal to spin¬ 
ach. Sown early in the spring, in rows 16 
in. apart, thin out to 6 in. Is fit for use for 
greens sooner than any other variety. For 
summer use it is superior to spinach, bfe- 
cause it can be cut throughout the entire 
summer and fall. An ounce is sufficient for 
a medium, sized family. 
Packet, 5c.; oz., 10c.; % lb., 20c.; lb., 60c. 
Cos Lettuce Trianon . 
I have grown Cos Lettuce for many 
years, and each year as I gather the 
immense heads (sometimes i foot high 
and weighing 3 or 4 lbs.), blanched to a 
crystal whiteness and so tender and 
sweet you cannot refrain from eating 
them, I wonder why it is they are so 
little known. They are better than any 
other Lettuce. We always use them in 
preference to any other sort. Tie to¬ 
gether six days before using. 
Trianon Self Folding Cos. 
Very early, very white, tender and 
sweet. Packet, 5c.; oz., 15c. 
White Paris Cos. Used by the 
French more largely than any other, 
rather later than Trianon; produces 
heads weighing 6lbs. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c. 
Endine Broad-leaved Batavia, The Escarolle the French use so largely 
for salads ; leaves used for greens, and in France the most popular 
of all salad for fall and winter. Very sweet and very pleasant. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c. 
Kohlrabi 
White Goliath. 
Growing as large as a cro¬ 
quet ball. The flesh is sweet, 
tender and delicious; equal 
to Cauliflower and far supe¬ 
rior to Turnips. Plant early 
and begin to use when size of 
medium orange. Cook like 
Turnips, mashed or cut in 
cubes and creamed 
Packet, 5c. ; oz., 15c. 
Celeriac. pl 4, 
root like a turnip. An excel¬ 
lent vegetable, highly fla¬ 
vored, sweet and pleasant. 
Equal to Celery and ready 
much earlier, and a good easy 
keeping winter vegetable. 
Packet, 5c.; oz., 15c. 
Early White Welsh Onion. 
For Green Onions. This kind does not form a bulb, 
but is one of the best kinds for “Green Onions.’’ The 
plants are perennial and can remain in the ground for 
years with but slight protection. This is the sweetest 
of all onions. 
Pkt., 10c.; % oz., 15c.;oz.,25c.; 2oz.,40c.; J£lb., 60c. 
Ehinnv From seed. Every garden should have 
a sbQjq- border of these for early spring 
use ; very appetizing and universally used for flavor¬ 
ing. Readily raised from seed. Packet, 10c. 
New Zealand Spinach. ho s t °watlr d bS 
fore planting. One of the most remarkable of all gar¬ 
den vegetables. All through the heat of mid-summer 
it will produce sweet succulent greens, rich and some¬ 
what glutinous, equal to the best spinach. 
Cut off close to the ground and repeated crops of 
the most tender leaves will spring up in ten days’ time. 
Packet, 5c.; oz., 15c. 
New Upright Sweet 
Salad Pepper. 
A cross between the Chinese Giant and Mild Sweet 
Harold. Handsome, productive and of the finest 
quality. Large, smooth, thick-fleshed, mild and very 
sweet. Bright scarlet. The Peppers, as large as Ruby 
King, are all borne upright, and held clear of the 
ground. The flesh is so thick and skin so tender that 
it may be fried like a beefsteak and so sweet that it 
may be eaten like an apple. Pkt., 10c. ; 5 for 25c. 
Victoria Spinach. go ^ a st sev £ °hi tei'/s 
the other spinaches have run to seed. 
Packet, 5c.; oz., 10c. 
Cress-Water. 
This can be grown in any moisi 
place. Packet, 10 c. 
New Sweet Corn, Peep o’ Day. 
The two points of this remarkable corn are its extra¬ 
ordinary earliness and unparalleled sweetness. It is 
also wonderfully productive. The early varieties of 
sweet corn do not, as a rule, yield as heavily as the late- 
sorts; but owing to the fact that the stalks bear from 
two to five ears each, and that they are very dwarf which 
admits of their being planted close together, it not only 
gives an early yield, but it gives one of great productive- 
ness as well, sometimes doubling the yield per acre. 
Price, packet, 10c.; pint, 25c.; quart 35c., postpaid. 
This is the first time I have ever used valuable space in 
my Catalogue for mere talk. I should put in a list of 
Household Herbs in this space. But I am determined to 
call your attention to the useful delicious garden vege¬ 
tables on this page. 
Every garden should have all of them but really you 
should plant some of them. 
The Peep o’ Day Sweet Corn try for earliest—it is the 
best early corn you ever planted. 
Don’t omit Welsh Onions, New 2 ealand Spinach, 
Trianon Lettuce and Kohl-Rabi, etc.
