ture 5 days ahead of Extra Early Bantam and 6 days earlier than 
Sunshine. It grows 5 to 6 feet high, depending upon the fertility 
of the soil. Ears are 7 inches in length with 10 to 12 rows 
of rich golden grains. Our crop was grown from 
seed furnished by the Experiment Station. Pkt.,

Spanish Gold Sweet Corn 
New York 
Special Lettuce 
This is a selection from New York 
which is the best known Lettuce. Our 
grower has been working on this special 
strain for several years. Early and more 
profitable. Heads are well protected with 
leaves which helps to eliminate burning. 
It makes a nice, hard, uniform head, 
most of them ready for market at the 
same time. Wherever tried out, it had 
anything else “licked off the map.” It 
sold at a premium over other strains. 
We strongly advise all growers to give 
it a thorough trial this season. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 25c; % lb., 75c; lb., $2.50.

Stringless Bean 
You will want this early, delicious, 
tender, absolutely stringless, round, 
green-podded Snap Bean. It is a very 
heavy yielder, in a class by itself, sev¬ 
eral days earlier than Full Measure. 
Pods are long and straight, extremely 
meaty and of an attractive green color. 
Vines are exceptionally strong and vig¬ 
orous. Many of our customers consider 
it the best of all beans and want nothing 
else. If your market demands the high¬ 
est quality, grow Tendergreen. Pkt.,

Riverside Sweet Spanish Onion 
Large Sweet Onion for Your Garden. 
There is an increasing demand in America for the Yellow 
Spanish Onions due to their phenomenally large size, handsome 
appearance, sparkling white flesh of a very fine texture, and ex¬ 
tremely mild flavor. Riverside Sweet Spanish is now grown over 
large areas. Grows large and does not produce “stiffnecks” usual 
in the Spanish type. The mature bulbs will measure 4 to 6 inches 
in diameter, and weigh up to 2 pounds; equal in every respect to 
the imported onion. Pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; *4 lb., 75c; lb., $2.50.

Nantes Carrot 
(Select Strain) 
One of the best early sorts. A very fine Carrot. 
The roots are of good length, 7 to 8 inches, very 
smooth and symmetrical, nearly the same size the 
whole length, of deep orange color. It is practically 
coreless ; that is, the deep orange color extends all 
through the root without any light center or "core” 
seen in most other sorts. Quality is exceptionally 
fine. Excellent for either market or the home gar¬ 
den. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 35c; lb., $1.25. 
The 
A new pink MARHIO Tomato devel¬ 
oped by Dr. Ira C. Hoffman of the Ohio 
Agricultural Experiment Station. We 
believe this to be one of the leading 
greenhouse Tomatoes yet introduced. 
The habit of the plant growth is similar 
to Marglobe. This variety is resistant to 
Fusarium wilt. Fruits are pink, large, 
smooth, round and deep. They are very 
heavy, having thick meaty rind and 
cross walls ; almost no fibrous core, rela¬ 
tively few seeds. Clusters of 5 to 7 buds, 
average weight per fruit 5 to 7 ounces, 
but some larger earlier in the season. 
It has given good satisfaction in the field 
when staked. It did exceptionally well 
in tropical sections where other varieties 
failed. Our seed is grown from seed fur¬ 
nished by Dr. Hoffman. Pkt., 10c; % oz..
