MICHELL’S NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 
IN VEGETABLE SEEDS FOR 1935 
In line with our usual custom, we have taken from our general list certain novelties and specially meritorious varieties of vege¬ 
table seeds to which we call, on this and the two succeeding pages, special attention. Planters will do well to include these sorts in 
their seed order. 
GIANT PODDED 
ASPARAGUS BEAN 
Also known as the 
Yard Long Bean 
A green-podded snap pole 
bean; vines are vigorous grow¬ 
ers and produce an enormous 
crop of long green pods, 
measuring 2 feet or more in 
length, which are tender and 
of excellent quality. Ready in 
about 80 days after planting.

Giant Podded Asparagus Bean 
BEET 
Mlchell’s 
“Winter Keeper” 
This grand beet is almost 
globe-shaped, tapering slightly 
toward the root. The dark 
blood-red flesh is always ten¬ 
der; the hard, stringy, wood- 
enlike substance, so common 
in many varieties, is entirely 
absent in this sort. It is ideal 
as a late summer cropper, or 
for use during Winter and 
Spring, until new beets are

JAPANESE 
CLIMBING 
CUCUMBER 
The vines attain 
almost twice the 
length of other va¬ 
rieties and can be suc¬ 
cessfully grown on 
fences, poles or trel¬ 
lises. The extra long, 
light-green fruits are 
produced in abund¬ 
ance; flesh thick and 
firm, never bitter; 
a superb variety for 
slicing; when young 
make fine pickles. 
The fruits are raised 
well above the 
ground, so seldom

weather or insects.
