SELECTED SEEDS FOR HOME AND MARKET GARDENERS 
9 
(A) Aitken’s Special 
This is somewhat more vigorous type of the Snowball class and selected to produce a larger 
head than Snowball without losing its earliness. This strain will mature with great evenness 
and although earlier varieties will perhaps give a few forerunners a couple of days before it 
makes its start, the bulk of the crop is about as early, maturing in about 60 days from time 
plants are set. 
The pure white heads are remarkable for their great depth and unexcelled white color. The 
curd is of fine texture. Foliage is somewhat larger than most early varieties and the inner 
leaves perfectly protect the head until nearly full grown. We are sincere in believing that 
this strain ranks as one of the very superior stocks of Cauliflower available anywhere at any 
price. Pkt., .25; y 2 oz., $3.25; oz., $6.00; H lb., $24.00. 
Helios (Orginal) 
This true variety comes direct from the breeders who have originated this strain. It is a 
very large, robust plant which produces an unusually large, heavy head of excellent quality, 
maturing about ten days later 
than Improved Holland Erfurt. 
From all reports from our 
customers and trials on our own 
farm during 19 39 weather con¬ 
ditions, we are convinced that 
Helios will come through in sec¬ 
tions where adverse weather 
conditions prevail. 
This variety is sold only in 
cans sealed by the originators 
of this strain, registered and 
protected by law for the grower. 
Available only in 2-oz. and 
14 -lb. sealed cans, at $4.00 
per oz. 
Celery 
(A) Wonderful or Golden Plume 
A desirable sort for home and market gardens. It

deners. Pkt., .10; oz., .50; M lb., $1.35; lb., $5.00. 
White Plume 
A truly beautiful type. Excellent for home guldens 
and much used by market gardeners for early market.

variety for immediate use but not recommended for 
keeping. Tkt., .10; oz., .10; V4 lb., $!.!.>.
