Of Distinct, Unusual Value 
The Best of the Best' 
The following new and greatly improved vegetables carry our un¬ 
qualified recommendation. They are included on these color pages as 
evidence they deserve your first choice. 
They yield heavily, are ideal for home gardens, and sell readily, with greater 
profit, if you grow them commercially. The slightly higher cost of seed of these 
superior varieties comes back to you many times over in yield, quality and 
satisfaction. 
Isbell's Super Detroit Dark Red 
Rich Color—Superior Quality—Green Tops 
It is truly a super strain of the well known and popular 
Detroit Dark Red. The roots are smooth and even in size, the flesh 
being of uniform deep blood-red color, decidedly fine grained, crisp 
and sweet. We recommend it to the large market grower as well as 
to the home gardener on account of fine quality, even size and good 
color. For canning especially you will find this Beet to be all that 
could be desired. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; x /± lb., 40c; lb., $1.25, prepaid.

strains to be offered, and has proven 
so successful that hybrid types of 
several other varieties are now being 
produced. Compared with Golden 
Bantam, the stalks are taller, more 
vigorous and the ears are consider¬ 
ably longer. It is a medium early 
type, maturing about a week later.

yielding strain of this famous variety.

As one of the largest and oldest growers of seed beans in America 
we are recognized as experts on “beanology.” So what we say about 
this variety you can accept 100% as a fact. 
You can now discard the* out-of-date so-called “stringless” 
greenpods and tie up with this one without hesitation. 
Big Pods and big yields—Quality the very best 
The pods are 6 to 8 inches long, perfectly round and slightly 
curved; very meaty, rich in flavor, absolutely stringless and free 
from fibers. The color is a rich green that will not show even a 
trace of paleness. The plant is erect 
with dark green foliage and in yield¬ 
ing quality we have yet to find any 
Bean that will surpass it. For the 
market gardener and canner Longpod 
will prove highly profitable because 
of the big yield of beautiful pods 
that are of superior quality and flavor. 
It is very resistant to Bean blight 
and other diseases also. Ready to 
use in 55 days. Pkt., 10c; lb.. 35c; 
3 lbs., 90c, prepaid.—Not prepaid, 10

veloped.

age length is six inches and they are
