Comet Radish 
Comet Radish 
Ranked first in Award of Merit, 1936 All-America 
Selection. Comet has the same qualities as Scarlet 
Globe, somewhat round in shape. Grows to fair size 
with a short top. The Comet has wonderful, long¬ 
standing qualities before getting pithy. In keeping 
and eating qualities it ranks as a leader and it will 
remain crisp and white when all other early radishes 
get pithy. Color is bright scarlet, and taproots are 
thin. We recommend every radish grower to try this 
new strain. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 45c; lb., $1.50. 
McCrea’s f 
Dwari Lima Bean 
Unusual Sweet Flavor. 
A new Bush Lima. The large, thick beans stand 
extreme heat in summer better than other large limas. 
It is very prolific, with three to five beans in a pod. 
Because of the flavor and green tint when cooked, we 
believe this new lima will be popular with gardeners. 
McCrea’s Lima is a large, plump bean, tender, thin- 
skinned, of very sweet flavor. It is different and has 
real merit. Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 25c; lb., 45c; 5 lbs., $2.15; 
10 lbs., $4.00. 
Rutgers Tomato 
i 
Rutcjers Tomato 
New Outstanding Variety. 
This was developed by selection from a cross made 
1 between Marglobe and J. T. D. Rutgers develops a 
large plant with adequate foliage to protect the fruit 
from sun-scald. It is a second early variety, fruits are 
medium to large, similar in shape to Marglobe, except 
that they are more flat in the stem end. Average size 
of the fruit is 2.7 inches by 2.3 inches with an average 
weight of 5.8 ounces. The fruit has a thick outer and 
inner wall, with very small seed cavities, producing 
few seeds. The flesh is firm and red, and ripening be¬ 
gins at the center, so that when the fruits are red on 
the outside they are well colored throughout. This is 
an important factor when picking tomatoes for can¬ 
ning and juice manufacture. The flavor of the fruit is 
very pleasing and makes a juice with a high percentage 
of sugar with low acidity. Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 30c; oz., 
50c; % lb., $1.75: lb., $5.50.

high with spread of about 20 inches. The stem and 
spray is about 12 inches with the length to first 
joint 5 inches. The strong leaf stems and the

variety of Parsley suited for both market and home 
garden use. Does not turn brown on the edges with 
age or during the cooler days of fall. Pkt., 15c; oz.,

earlier than California Wonder and having some of its thickness of flesh. J
