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.,

eter, and well rounded at the ends. Dark green

Straiflht-8 Cucumber 
Holmes’ Genuine 
Holmes' Emperor Celery 
Globelle Tomato 
Pink Globe Variety 
This new greenhouse tomato was de- 
veloped by Ohio Experiment Station, 
greatly excelling where leaf-mold is 
severe. For earliness the variety is 
about equal to Globe. There is less 
tendency for the plants to produce 
the extremely large rough fruits 
characteristic of Globe. The pack- 
ing records in the Cleveland dis' 
trict last fall showed the Globelle 
to pack a higher per cent of first 
grade fruit. Globelle is pink, has 
shape and size of Globe. The fruits 
are firm and ship well. Be sure to 
give Globelle a trial. (Seed grown 
by the Ohio Experiment Station.) 
Pkt., 15c; oz., #1.50; oz., #2.50; 
M lb., #9.00. 
Straight-8 
Cucumber 
Coreless Chantenay Carrot 
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 earb 
ter. Their vines are 1? 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. 
Pkt., 10c; lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 
2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., #1.20; 10 
lbs., #2.10; 15 lbs., #3.00; 
25 lbs., #4.75. 
Coreless 
Chantenay 
Carrot 
We recommend this variety 
very highly as it has become 
very popular with market gat' 
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- 
na y, 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. ^Ve strongly 
advise you to give this variety a trial. Pkt. 
10c; oz., 15c; M lb., 35c; lb., #1.10. 
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; 34 oz., 
40c; oz., 75c; 34 lb., #2.75; lb., 
# 10 . 00 .

cellent crops on soil infested with

ture and matures earlier and has a 
smaller head than Wisconsin No. 8.
