Delicious 
The Best Early Melon 
Since its introduction a number of years ago this large sweet 
melon has become one of the most popular varieties. Growers 
everywhere are impressed by its earliness, fine appearance, even 
size and superior quality. 
The melons ripen two weeks earlier than Bender’s Surprise 
and are medium large, averaging 5 lbs. or more. When ripe they 
are a creamy yellow covered with fine netting. The flesh is 
moderately firm, deep orange and always 
sweet. 
This combination of earliness, high quality 
and good size is not found in any other melon 
with which we are acquainted. The vines are 
very prolific and produce enormous yields of 
uniform fruit. 
Delicious will not keep as well as Bender’s 
Surprise or Market King but for the home 
garden and roadside stand it has the advan- 
tage of earliness and has fully as fine flavor. 
Growers will do well to plant some of this 
kind. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 14 Lb. 85c; Lb. $2.75. 
Market King 
A Muskmelon of Quality 
Styles in melons change but the demand for fine flavor never does, so 
when we found this medium size melon of such uniformly superior quality, 
we knew we had something for which there would be a great demand. The 
reaction of growers who had this variety for the past two years more than 
met our expectations. Eyeryone who had Market King has been most 
enthusiastic.

Cosberg 
A Novel New Lettuce of Superior Quality 
See photo on page 25. 
This new lettuce which resembles “‘Ice- , 
berg’ in general appearance is most re- 


markable for its crisp solid heads and 
superior flavor. The heads are not large, 
but extremely solid, a very attractive light 
green color and the best quality of any 
lettuce of this type we have yet seen. It 
has proved a very sure header. We recom- 
mend this new variety especially to the 
home gardener and roadside stand where 
quality counts. Make a trial planting this 
year. You will be surprised and pleased.

Plentiful—A Fine New Flat Podded Green Bean 
These new beans are a very attractive long, flat green podded kind, similar in shape to Bountiful. Although flat 
podded, they are meaty and of very fine quality. The vines are upright, strong and robust, producing large yields. 
The pods are light green, slightly longer and are ready a few days later than Bountiful. We have been greatly im- 
pressed with this new kind which we listed for the first time last year and recommend that if you have not already 
done so that you grow some this year. Seed black. 
Pkt. 10c; 14 Lb. 25c; 1 Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 744 Lbs. $2.10 transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. $3.00; 60 Lbs. 
(Bu.) $10.20. 













The melons are medium size, oval in shape, and heavily netted. The 
flesh is thick, of even texture and of uniformly fine quality. We have cut 
hundreds of melons without finding a poor one, and many of our custom- 
ers pronounce them the best melons they have ever tasted. 
The vines are extremely prolific, vigorous and healthy. The fruit ripens 
about a week later than Bender’s Surprise. We can strongly recommend 
this new variety. 
Pkt. 10¢; Oz. 35e; 14 Lb. $1.10; Lb. $3.50. 
Market King and Delicious in your garden will give you an unbroken 
succession of fine melons. 
Tendergreen 
The Best Round Dwarf Green Beans 
If you want really delicious, tender, five flavored, 
early snap beans, be sure to plant Tendergreen. 
There is no dwarf bean that has as fine quality. 
Many of our customers will plant no other green 
variety. 
The pods are long, round as a pencil, very meaty 
and of an attractive light green color. They mature 
early and the vines are exceptionally strong and 
vigorous. This bean is outstanding for the large 
yields of long straight tender pods. 
This is also the best round podded variety both for 
market growers and the roadside stands. The hand- 
some appearance brings customers and the quality 
keeps them coming back for more. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 744 Lbs. 
$1.95 transportation paid. Not paid: 15 Lbs. 
$2.70; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $9.00.
