Every vegetable grower is constantly aiming to have something superior in quality to his fellow trucker. The few specialties we 
offer below (while in name not exactly new) are such improved strains and so different over the old types, that they should commend 
themselves to every vegetable grower. We have experimented with them, so they are past that stage. 
Micliell’s.Second Crop Cabbage 
MICHELL’S SECOND CROP CABBAGE 
A number of prominent market gardeners who have grown this 
pronounce it the most profitable cabbage they ever handled. It is 
a great improvement on “Early Summer”, coming in before the 
summer sorts and after the early variety is off the market. A good 
hard header, and an excellent color.

The “Stone” tomato is indisputably the best general tomato in 
cultivation. This strain is a special selection of large, perfectly 
formed fruits. The price we ask is just a trifle more than that 
of the standard grade, but it will be found far superior in every 
way. It ripens evenly all over, is very solid and has comparatively 
few seeds.

COMET TOMATO 
This is the most prolific tomato for either forcing or outdoor 
planting. While the originators’ intentions were to use it exclu¬ 
sively as a forcing sort, outdoor trials have proven it to be a 
wonder. It is very early (that is, earlier than the “Stone” and 
similar sorts), and every fruit ripens even up to the stem. Last 
season under adverse conditions it did remarkably well. The 
fruit is large, evenly formed and bright red. There are very few 
seeds, which accounts for the price. Everyone should give this 
a thorough trial.

MICHELL’S PRIVATE STRAIN 
DUTCH BUTTER LETTUCE 
“Dutch Butter” lettuce is an old standby. It rarely fails to 
make a satisfactory head. For early sowing, as well as for sum¬ 
mer and fall use, it will be found indispensable. The variety itself 
is too well known for us to dwell on a description, except to say 
that all who have been growing this variety will find our private 
stock to be far superior to the old strain.
