NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES 5 
Cabbage, Savoy-Chieftain

head Savoy. Pkt., 15c.; oz., $1.00; ^/4-lb., $2.50. 
Pepper, Rocky Ford 
Special Mention 1938 All America Selections

World Beater. About 3x5 inches in size, square shouldered. 
Plant large and prolific. Pkt., 15c.; oz., $1.00; M.-lb., $3.00. 
Early Wonder Beet 
The most popular early bunching beet. To satisfy criti¬ 
cal growers, who demand an ideal in shape, color and sea¬ 
son, is quite a difficult matter. Ideals vary considerably, 
but we have pleased a very critical trade with our stock 
of Early Wonder Beet. The shape is a flattened globe; 
flesh tender, sweet, and attractive, deep red with very in¬ 
distinct zones—particularly the light zones so undesirable 
in many stocks; tops are small and slender. In season it 
is about 55 days from seeding to market stage. Price per 
pkt., 10c.; per oz., 15c.; per ^A-lb., 30c.; per lb., $1.00. 
Detroit Dark Red Beet 
A distinctly superior stock of this extensively 
used variety. The color is dark blood-red, some¬ 
what brighter than our former stock. This color 
is without trace of purple or brown and without 
the common fault of large light zones. It also 
maintains its attractive color after being cooked 
or canned. “Detroit” has long been recognized as 
a beet of very high table quality. Tops are uni¬ 
form, slender, erect; roots globe or turnip-shaped, 
with small tap root. About 65 days from seeding 
to market stage. Price per pkt., 10c.; per oz., 
15c.; per 14-lb., 30c.; per lb., $1.00. 
Carrot, Supreme Half-Long 
Special Mention 1937 All America Selections 
Slender, refined Danvers type with short tops. 
Roots usually 6-7 inches long, stump rooted, 
smooth. Color is outstanding, the small core being 
nearly same fine dark red as the flesh. Pkt., 10c.; Detroit Dark Red Reet 
oz., 15c.; 14-lb., 45c.; lb., $1.50. 
Cucumber, A & C 
This cucumber is remarkable for several features more highly perfected than any other for our 
New England and New York market. An ideal size, 8 to 10 inches, with attractive dark green color, 
which it holds for a long time. Cucumbers picked early September, were still on display in December, 
after having been handled by hundreds of admirers. Pkt., 15c.; oz., 25c.; 14-lb., 75c.; lb., $2.00.
