New Purple Cauliflower Has 
Distinct Flavor 
95. NEW PURPLE. The head is of the 
same shape and size as the regular cauliflower, 
but instead of being white it is green to begin 
with and upon reaching maturity and upon be¬ 
coming exposed to light, it turns deep purple. 
The plants need not be tied up until the heads 
have turned color and then only to prevent the 
heads from bolting to seed. The color is lost 
during the cooking, regaining the green color. 
It does not have the true cauliflower flavor, but 
a flavor similar to sprouting Broccoli. A splendid 
novelty to grow in your garden. Pkt., 15c : V4

well in dry hot weather as in wet weather. It 
produces a crop in the driest summer months

makes it fine for late planting. The wilt-resist- 
ant vines grow two feet high and do not require 
support. Pods are round, well filled, with seven 
to ten sweet tender peas. Pkt., 10c; 14

Golden Marvel Muskmelon. 
Danamerica Cauliflower. 
DENMARK GIVES US A NEW 
CAULIFLQWER 
92. DANAMERICA. (90 days after set¬ 
ting plants.) This new cauliflower will follow 
Super-Snowball in maturing. It heads much in 
the same manner and matures at one time. In 
fact, plants can be tied up one plant after an¬ 
other and the entire crop marketed in almost 
one cutting. We think Danamerica will displace 
all other main crop varieties. The stem is stout 
and strong with leaves that form a heavy, com¬ 
pact upright foliage that presses tightly together 
on the stem. It represents the ideal in structure 
of stem and foliage and the kind that produces 
the perfect heads. The heads are especially 
deep, very fine, heavy and snowy white. Under 
proper growing conditions will yield practically 
100% first grade heads. Pkt., 20c; Vi oz., 70c’; 
1/2 oz., $1.35; oz., $2.50; Vi lb-, $9.10, post¬

SMALL GARDENS

kins are not usually grown in the home garden 
as the vines require too mugh space. We now 
offer a pumpkin that requires only about four 
square feet of space that can be easily grown 
in the home or small garden. Each bush pro¬ 
duces about three to four good sized pie pump¬ 
kins. Note the illustration at the right. The 
pumpkin resembles the Kentucky Field in size 
and shape, being very dark green and turning 
to yellow. The seed cavity is small. It matures 
about the same as Connecticut Field. Pkt.,

the seeds which I have received from you the last 
years that I have been getting my garden seeds 
from your company. I cannot praise them enough 
because of the lovely gardens I have been having. 
I also want to thank you for the lovely Aster seed 
I received from you last year. My Asters were 
admired by all who saw them and I also took a 
number of bouquets to church on Sundays. I want 
to thank you for all the flozver and vegetable 
seeds, and seed potatoes I received from you this 
year. Everything came in good condition and the 
seeds which I have already planted are doing fine.”
