VEGETABLE SEEDS FOR FLORISTS 
W ITH increasing interest in home gardens, florists should take full advantage of the opportunity of supplying 
vegetable plants that are sure to be called for in increasing quantity—especially Tomato, Pepper and Cabbage. 
In our list of varieties you will find those adapted to home garden use as well as varieties suitable for those who grow 
for market. 
WOODEN PLANT BANDS 
In growing vegetable plants for early crops or for home gardeners, band grown plants are of particular value. 
When these plants are put out without the heavy check that follows when dug from the open soil, they get into bearing 
earlier. For vegetable plants we recommend the larger sizes. Selling bedding or vegetable plants is made more 
attractive when offered in these bands. See inside back cover page of this catalog for full description, sizes, and prices, 
of these bands. 
PEPPERMINT Best strain available, variety used for tea, valuable item for selling plants to retail trade.

NEW EVERBEARING This variety improves in size and length of fruit the variety RUGEN, sent out by 
STRAWBERRY, us a few years ago. The product of a German specialist. If sown early February,

protection from the strong sun. Tr. pkt. (1000 seeds ), 50c.
