Our Vegetable 
Specialties Warrant 
Your M ost Careful 
Consideration 
Home gardeners, as well 
as larger growers, will find 
on these two pages some 
astonishingly fine and 
worth-while developments 
in the Vegetable Kingdom. 
From many trials the fol¬ 
lowing eleven selections 
have been made. 
A New Bush Bean, McCrea’s Lima 
A New Bush Bean, McCrea’s Lima 
The remarkably sweet flavor of this new variety is 
perhaps its greatest feature. Although the pods are small, 
the Beans themselves are very large and plump and they 
Literally fill the pods to the bursting point. The vines are 
of compact growth and are wilt- and blight-resistant. 
This is a very early Bush Lima of the highest quality. 
It is ideal for all parts of New England, as it withstands 
cold weather during the growing season and also wet 
weather at planting-time, which often proves fatal to other 
varieties. Pkg. 20c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 60c; 8 lbs. $2.25. 
Muskmelon, Farquhar’s 
Honey Drop 
An early, round, netted melon that grows to a large 
size. Flesh thick, deep orange, and of the finest flavor. 
For the home-garden and for commercial growers this 
superb melon has proved itself to be a most satisfactory 
variety for Massachusetts and southern New England. 
We supply only originator’s extra-selected stock. 
Pkt. 15c; oz. 60c; yf\b. $2.00. 
Tomato, Penn State 
After most careful testing during the season of 1935, we now 
offer this Tomato with a full knowledge of its many superior 
points that make it stand out as “a really great achievement” 
in Tomato culture. The first steps in crossing the parent va¬ 
rieties and beginning the type selections from these crosses, 
began in 1928. The points sought were superb quality, rich even 
scarlet color, extra earliness, dark red flesh with a minimum of 
core, spherical shape, and large yield. 
These points, one after the other, were found by selection, and 
still another important feature developed in the compact habit 
of the plant—best described as “self-pruning.” This makes Penn 
State far outyield other varieties, permitting close planting and 
little or no support—two points of interest to both the large and 
the small grower. DON’T MISS THIS ONE! 
Pkt. 10c; ^oz. $1.00; oz. $1.85; ^Ib. $6.00. 
Potato, 
Northern 
Gold 
Potato, Northern 
Gold 
We introduced this variety about 
three years ago, claiming that it 
would prove vastly better than Irish 
Cobbler in both quality and earliness. 
Repeated trials in the hands of large 
local growers have proved our 
claims in all respects, and the yield 
per acre has also been most gratify¬ 
ing. We recommend it unqualifiedly. 
Pk. $1.00; bus. $3.00; 2 bus. $5.50.
