iJUrgess L^ariy OdlaU V.^aULiagC crumpled leaves. The heads are not as tight as the smooth leaved 
varieties, but are of superior flavor. When cooked this cabbage is the equal of any smooth leaved sort, but is especially I’ec-

(D) Chinese Salad Bean 
(F) Burgess’ New Climbing Tomato 
This is certainly the most valuable variety that has been 
ottered for several years. The characteri.stic foliage and 
vine growth distinguishes it from all other varieties. The 
vines grow rapidly to a height of ten to twelve feet, and 
with good care have been grown to a height of more than 
twenty feet. The beautiful red fruits average 3l^ inches 
across and 2% inches deep, with some as deep as 31/2 
inches and as wide as 5 inches across. The Fruits are 
solid, with the meaty center surrounded by small seed 
cells which are separated by solid divisions, which makes 
the tomato unexcelled for both shipping and eating quali¬ 
ties'. This is the most productive of all tomatoes, so is 
an ideal variety for the small garden, as one or two vines 
will produce enough fruit for an ordinary family. Nearly 
two bushels of ripe tomatoes were picked from one vine, 
and when the vine was killed by fall frosts, it was still 
loaded with ripe and green tomatoes and blossoms. It was 
our intentions to put this new variety on the market this 
year at 50c per packet, but we have decided instead to 
give a packet free with a dollar order. This seed cannot 
be secured elsewhere, and the only way to obtain it is 
with an order for other goods, as per the offer explained 
above. 
NOTICE —We believe we have enough seed of the above 
varieties for all our customers, but reserve the right to 
substitute should we run out of any variety late in the 
season.
