absolutely be depended upon. It grows 
very heavy, tall, and has a full heart, 
matures early, blanches quickly, has a 
crisp sweet flavor, being larger and 
more plainly ribbed than the regular 
Golden Plume generally sold. This seed 
is New Jersey grown, costs more to prO'

regular Golden plume. Pkt., 20c; ^

Disease-Resistant Golden Acre Cabbage 
Riverside Sweet 
Spanish Onion 
Large Sweet Onion for Your Garden 
There is an increasing demand in America 
for the Yellow Spanish Onions due to their 
extra large size, handsome appearance, and 
extremely mild flavor. Riverside Sweet Span¬ 
ish is now grown over large areas. Grows 
large and does not produce “stiffnecks” usual 
in the Spanish type. The mature bulbs will 
measure 4 to 6 inches in diameter, and weigh 
up to 2 pounds; equal in every respect to the 
imported Onion. Pkt., 10c; oz., 20c; M lb., 
60c; lb., $2.00. 
New York Special 
Lettuce 
Our grower has been working on this spe' 
cial strain for several years. Early and more 
profitable. Heads are well protected 
with leaves which helps to eliminate 
burning. It makes a nice, hard, uniform 
head, most of them ready for market 
at the same time. It sold at a premium 
over other strains. We strongly advise 
all growers to give it a thorough trial.

Disease Resistant

other varieties failed com¬ 
pletely. It is the same type

recommend planting it on 
soils infested with yellows.
