Bottle Onion 
We are headquarters for Bottle Onion Seed 
and Sets. Bottle Onion has been grown for 
many years in both Pennsylvania and Ohio. 
It derives its name from its long bottle-like 
shape. Being mild and sweet, it is absolutely 
unsurpassed in flavor; excellent for slicing. 
It yields well and is a good keeper. Bottle 
Onion grows longer, whiter and more edible 
stalks than any other Onion. ,Pkt., 10c; oz.,

Peas 
Large Pods—Fine Quality—-Robust 
We are sure you will be pleased with 
this new midseason variety. The vines 
are about 2 feet tall, strong and hearty 
and bear an abundance of pods. 
Pods are 41/2 to 5 inches long con¬ 
taining 8 to 9 delicious large peas 
of superb quality. Although a 
wrinkled pea, it is very hardy and 
can be planted earlier than most 
varieties of this class. We recom¬ 
mend this new sort both for home 
and market gardener. Pkt., 10c;

Large—Extra Early Variety 
This is the largest, and we 
consider it one of the best, of 
the early Dwarf varieties. The 
pods resemble Laxtonian very 
closely but are a little larger 
and mature a day or two earl¬ 
ier. Their vines are 15 to 18 
inches in height, the pods are 
4 to 4]/2 inches long, deep 
green and well filled, with dark 
green peas of high quality. We 
urge you to have some of these 
peas in your garden this year.

Coreless 
Chantenay 
Carrot 
We recommend this variety 
very highly as it has become 
very popular with market gar¬ 
deners, canners and home gar¬ 
deners as well as growers for 
roadside markets who cater to 
a quality trade. Instead of the 
light colored core which has 
always been found in Chante- 
nay, Danvers, and similar carrots this new strain 
has a deep orange-red color right through to 
the center. Is a little shorter than our 
Chantenay Special and will yield large 
crops of excellent carrots. We strongly 
advise you to give this variety a trial. Pkt.

Still a Greater Favorite 
This marvelous Celery was named 
and introduced by H. L. Holmes in 
1912. It has taken the lead among 
the late Celeries and has a world-wide 
reputation. It is distinct and excels 
all others, being the most solid and 
finest crisp, nut-flavored and best 
keeping sort of outstanding merit. 
Holmes’ Emperor is superior in that 
it is free from the stringiness common 
to other sorts. The plants are dwarf 
and therefore much easier to blanch 
than the taller growing varieties. The 
tops are dark green while the outer 
stalks are smooth, almost perfectly 
round, exceptionally thick, very brit¬ 
tle and blanch a beautiful white with 
rich yellow heart. You cannot afford 
to be without Holmes’ Emperor. It 
is simply delicious. Pkt., 15c; oz.,

ture and matures earlier and has a
