of Vegetable Seeds for SEASON 1936 
Grothen's Red Globe Tomato 
Grothen’s Red Globe 
Tomato 
Developed by Mr. Ed. Grothen. It 
has quality, flavor, extreme solidity 
and large size combined with earli¬ 
ness. The Grothen’s is well adapted 
to old tomato land, and is a very 
heavy producer of smooth, deep 
globe-shaped fruits. Maintaining 
large size until late in the season, 
producing large percentage of fan¬ 
cies. Exterior color resembles Mar- 
globe, but ripens 10 to 12 days ear¬ 
lier—the interior ripens up very 
slowly, making it an excellent ship¬ 
per. Our customers cannot say too 
much for this tomato. It is demand¬ 
ed by growers and buyers wherever 
known. Be sure to give it a trial. 
Pkt., 10c; % oz., 30c; oz., 50c; % 
lb., $1.75; lb., $5.50. 
Golden Plume 
Special Celery 
(Tall Strain) 
It is of the highest quality which 
can absolutely be depended upon. It 
grows very heavy, tall, and has a full heart, matures 
early, blanches quickly, has a crisp sweet flavor, being 
larger and more plainly ribbed than the regular Golden 
Plume generally sold. This seed is New Jersey grown, 
costs more to produce, is in great demand. Two to 
three inches taller to the first joint than our regular 
Golden Plume. Our seed supply is limited, order early. 
Pkt., 20c; i/a oz., 80c; oz., $1.50; % lb., $5.50; lb., 
$ 20 . 00 . 
Golden Acre 
Special Cabbage! 
This strain is most valuable for earli¬ 
ness and uniformity, and in quickness 
to reach maturity. It proved distinctly 
superior to other strains in the trial 
tests. We recommend it to growers who 
want the earliest and best. Pkt., 15c; 
y 2 oz., 35c; oz., 55c; % lb., $1.75; lb., 
$ 6 . 00 . 
Disease Resistant 
Golden Acre 
Cabbage 
Resistant to “Yellows.” 
This strain developed from Golden 
Acre on land infested so badly with the 
“yellows” disease that other varieties 
failed completely. It is the same type 
as Golden Acre. We recommend plant¬ 
ing it on soils infested with yellows. 
Pkt., 15c; % oz., 40c; oz., 75c; ^4 lb., 
$2.75; lb., $10.00. 
Golden Plurr' -— 
Laxton's Progress 
Pea 
Laxton’s Progress Pea 
Dwarf Heavy Yielder. 
We consider this to be the most advanced develop¬ 
ment of the well-known Laxtonian. This Pea is similar 
to Laxtonian except that the pod is slightly longer and 
darker green, maturing several days earlier. It is a 
prolific bearer, and the handsome appearance of the 
rich dark green pods which are 4 to 4 1 / £ inches long, 
well filled with dark green peas, assures a ready sale. 
Pkt., 10c; % lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.25; 
10 lbs., $2.20; 15 lbs., $3.00; 25 lbs., $4.75; 100 lbs., 
$18.00. 
Golden Acre Special Cabbage 
Holmes’ “Green 
Top” Blood Beet 
(Introduced by H. L. Holmes) 
In Quality It Stands Alone. 
Whoever saw an absolutely light 
green-top Beet with pure blood-red 
root? It is one of the most tender 
of Beets, of delicious flavor and is 
absolutely unsurpassed for quality 
by any Beet we know of. This grand, 
new main crop Beet—Holmes’ Green- 
Top Blood—has a tapering root. The 
flesh is a handsome dark red, sweet 
and tender at all stages of growth 
regardless of size. The hard, stringy, 
wooden-like fiber so common with all 
other varieties, is entirely absent in 
Holmes’ Green-Top Blood Beet, 
which will keep tender all winter. 
Market gardeners who plant it will 
find it outsells all others. The keep¬ 
ing quality of Holmes’ Green-Top 
Blood Beet has no equal. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 20c; % lb., 60c; lb., $2.00.
