a "ribbon row" the onions mature when small and are 
excellent for pickling. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.;

JAPANESE BUNCHING: Sown in the spring, this 
variety produces large green onions early in the sum¬ 
mer. It does not form a bulb. The stems are nearly 
twice as large as ordinary bunching onions and hold 
in eating condition for a long time. If sown in the fall 
and given a little protection, this onion will stand all 
winter and produce fine large "green" onions in the 
spring. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; Y^ lb. 75 cts.; 
lb. $2.40. 
PARSLEY 
1 oz. will sow 200 ft. row

winter over, sow from August 1st to September 1st and 
give it some protection, such as straw or cold frame 
sash. Sow thinly in 12 inch rows, barely covering seed. 
MOSS CURLED: 120 days. A compact plant with 
very dark green leaves, exceedingly finely cut and 
curled. Very desirable for garnishing and decorative 
purposes. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.; Y^ lb. 30 cts. 
ONION SETS 
))<EBENEZER OR “JAPANESE" SETS: These sets 
can be used for green onions or may be left to produce 
large dry onions for early market. Very few of the 
plants of this variety go to seed. Lb. 30 cts.; 2 lbs. 
55 cts.; pk. (8 lbs.) $1.15. 
WHITE SETS (Silverskin): For green onions. May 
be left for large dry onions but a larger percentage go 
to seed than Ebenezer. Lb. 30 cts.; 2 lbs. 55 cts.; 
pk. (8 lbs.) $1.25. 
ONION PLANTS: For several years we have been 
raising Early Grano and Riverside Sweet Spanish 
onion plants in flats for our local trade. These small 
plants are very easily transplanted and produce 
large onions. They can be shipped anytime between 
May 1st and June 1st. Do not confuse these with 
Texas plants that are larger but usually arrive in 
very poor condition. 100 plants 25 cts.; 500 plants 
$1.00; 1000 plants $1.50. 
PEPPERS 
1 oz. will produce 1500 plants 
Sow inside about March 15th. Transplant once and 
set in open ground after danger of frost, 20 inches by 30 
inches apart. 
>jcWINDSOR “A”: 60 days. Originated at the Con¬ 
necticut Experiment Station, Windsor "A" gives 
promise of being one of the best of our large early 
sweet peppers. We have never seen so many sweet 
peppers grow on one plant. The peppers are thick 
walled, sweet and tender. The only criticisms we 
have are their long shape and the fact that the 
peppers are a little lighter green than the public has 
been used to. Pkt. 10 cts.; Y oz. 20 cts.; oz. 50 
cts.; K lb. $1.40; lb. $4.75. 
HARRIS EARLIEST: 55 days. We recommend this 
for an early variety. The peppers are only medium 
size and the meat is rather thin but it is, we believe, 
the best of the early varieties of sweet peppers. It 
is a very heavy bearer. Pkt. 10 cts.; Y^ oz. 20 cts.; 
oz. 50 cts.; Y lb. $1.40; lb. $4.75. 
HARRIS EARLY GIANT: 63 days. One of the earli¬ 
est of the large sweet peppers. It is of good quality, 
fairly productive but like Harris Earliest rather thin 
meated. It grows from 4 to \Y inches long by 3 
inches in diameter. Pkt. 10 cts.; Y oz. 20 cts.; oz. 
50 cts.; X lb. $1.40; lb. $4.75. 
WALTHAM BEAUTY: 57 days. A medium early 
large thick meated sweet pepper originated at the 
Massachusetts field station at Waltham. Our only 
criticism of this variety is that the peppers grow in 
an upright position which makes them rather difficult 
to pick. We are making further selections to try to 
overcome this fault. Pkt. 10 cts.; Y oz. 25 cts.; 
oz. 70 cts.; Y lb. $2.10. 
CALIFORNIA WONDER: 75 days. This is the 
thickest meated pepper that we know of. Fruits are 
large, 4Y inches long by 4 inches thick. Very at¬ 
tractive, smooth, deep green, sweet and mild. Some 
growers feel that California Wonder is too late for 
the east. Varies in productiveness in different soils. 
Pkt. 10cts.; 3<4 oz. 20 cts.; oz. 50cts.; Y lb. $1.40; 
lb. $4.75. 
GIANT CAYENNE: 70 days. One of the best "hot 
peppers." The fruit is 3 inches long and 1 inch 
through. Ripens early and is very prolific. Pkt. 10 
cts.; Y oz. 20 cts.; oz. 50 cts.; Y lb. $1.40; lb. 
$4.75.
