CHICKEN LETTUCE 
CHICKEN LETTUCE. This is a 
rough, rank growing variety of lettuce 
that has no head but produces a large

an ideal source of green feed for 
chickens, and should find great favor 
with poultrymen everywhere. Pkg. 5c;

MUSKMELONS 
SKAGIT GOLDEN. This is the ear¬ 
liest muskmelon that we have ever 
seen and while muskmelons are not 
always satisfactory in Western Wash¬ 
ington we believe that Skagit Golden 
will give good results here even in 
spite of the short growing season. If 
you have a warm early soil you will be 
delighted with this fine melon. The 
flesh is medium thick, sweet and juicy 
and of a rich salmon orange color. 
Pkg., 10c; oz., 25c. 
EMERALD GEM. One of the ear¬ 
liest of all muskmelons and therefore 
more nearly adaptable to the short 
growing seasons of this locality. The

green color. The flesh is thick and of 
a delicate salmon color. Pkg., 5c; 
oz., 15c.

SETS 
YELLOW BOTTOM SETS. These

planting. They will produce green on¬ 
ions for table or market use in a very 
short time. In the Northwest sets may 
be planted as early as weather and 
soil conditions will permit. We have 
an exceptionally fine lot of sets this 
year and hope to fill all orders as long 
as they come in.
