ISBELLS SPECIALTIES 
For 1936 
Outstanding Varieties of Special Merit 
The following new and improved strains are among the finest sorts in existence and carry our un¬ 
qualified recommendation. All are of the highest table quality and are proven heavy yielding sorts. 
They are ideal varieties for the home gardener who takes pride in growing quality vegetables. For the 
market grower who wants to build up or maintain his reputation as a producer of vegetables of the 
highest grade, these valuable sorts will prove most profitable. 
Beet—Ohio Canner 
The Ideal Canning Beet. 
This Beet has been developed to meet the exacting demands of 
the canner for a smooth, perfectly formed Beet with deep colored 
flesh. It is the result of the inbreeding of many generations of 
Beets by the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station. The 
tops are small and dark colored. The roots are uniformly 
round in shape with a small tap root. The col¬ 
or of the flesh is intense deep blood-red without 
any trace of light zones. The smooth symmetri¬ 
cal form and superior color are combined to 
make this a perfect canning and pickling Beet. 
Commercial growers will find here a splendid 
paying sort for markets demanding Beets of 
superior quality. Also splendid for the home 
garden because of the fine table quality. Pkt., 
10c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 45c; lb., $1.25, prepaid. 
New Carrot—Imperator 
Bean—Isbell’s Early Wonder Wax 
Extremely Early and Hardy. A Sure Bearer. 
Early Wonder Wax is the most reliable and sure cropping 
Bean in existence. It will stand more grief such as adverse 
weather conditions, extremes of heat and cold, drought and 
wet weather and variations of soil than any other B_an yet 
developed. Last summer out of more than two hundred test 
rows on our extensive trial grounds, Early Wonder Wax was 
the only variety that set a full crop of pods. This Bean stood 
out in striking contrast to varieties on both sides. 
Early Wonder Wax is the earliest Bean and the quality is 
unexcelled. The pods are nearly flat, meaty, stringless and al¬ 
ways tender and brittle. The average length is six inches and 
they are a clear waxy yellow color. The plants are strong and 
thrifty and practically disease proof. Pods are ready for use 
in 35 days. The plants continue to bear over a period of three 
to five weeks. Pkt., 10c; lb., 40c; 3 lbs., $1.00, prepaid. Not 
prepaid, 10 lbs., $1.85; 25 lbs., $4.00.

Of Handsome Appearance and 
Unsurpassed Quality. 
Ohio 
Canner 
Beets. 
This new type was developed especially to 
supply the demand for a longer and better 
colored Carrot. The roots are very smooth, and 
taper gradually with both ends well rounded. 
When mature the roots average 7 to 8inches 
long and are IV 4 . to 1% inches in diameter. The flesh is a rich 
orange color which extends to the center of the root. They are 
fine grained and very attractive in appearance. The tops are 
strong enough to tie up well making it an ideal variety for bunch¬ 
ing for the market. Matures nearly as early as the shorter va¬ 
rieties but is much superior in quality and appearance. Impera¬ 
tor has rapidly become a favorite in the South where large quantities of winter vegetables are grown 
for northern markets. Pkt., 10c; oz., 15c; *4 lb., 40c; lb., $1.20, prepaid.
