GOLDEN OXHEART—Tomatoes of immense size, often 
reaching a full two pounds, sometimes even three. The 
fruits are smooth, very deep from stem to blossom end, 
being of true Oxheart form, and their extraordinary firm- 
ness and solidity accounts for the unusual weight. Flavor 
particularly good, rather sweeter than in most other sorts.

% oz. 50e. 
ITALIAN CANNER—Of a distinct type, deep, narrow, with 
very thick, solid side walls. Deep red fruits in clusters,

salad dressing, or without slicing, in lunches, with salt.

RUTABAGAS 
You will appreciate them, come winter, so better plan 
on a sowing, say about the last of June, or during first 
week of July, and to be sure you are ready for that sow- 
ing, get the seed now. Rutabagas are real food, sub- 
stantial, satisfying, rich in flavor, sweet, firm meated. 
There is more substance to them than to Turnip, but after 
all there is no real reason for comparing them with Tur- 
nip, for the two are separate vegetables, distinct in habit, 
flavor and to some extent in use, and they are distinct 
also botanically, Rutabaga . being Brassica Napobrassica. 
Give Rutabaga good soil and ample spacing, rows 20 inches 
apart, plants thinned to six inches in the row. Stored in 
a straw-protected pit, or a cool cellar, Rutabagas will 
keep in excellent condition until spring.

it may be considered an improved form. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 
Obes Yiwlb. 5c. 
WHITE NECKLESS—In this sort the flesh is pure white. 
The roots somewhat elongated, just a little beyond globe 
form. Outside is white, shoulder of root showing green 
tinting. Roots average about 2/3 size of those of last.

Rutabaga so far as eating quality is concerned, firm, crisp, 
sweet. A good keeper. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 20c; %4 Ib. 60c. 
PURPLE-TOP YELLOW —tThe largest of the Rutabagas,

VEGETABLE PLANTS 
We shall have vegetable plants available of a limited 
number of the better sorts. These will be well-grown, 
well-roocted, but will be pulled from the seed-row, not 
previously, transplanted. All seed-rows from which plants 
are pulled will have been sown thinly, or adequately 
thinned afterward, so that plants will have room for good 
development. Early deliveries will be from cold frames, 
later ones from field beds or from specially sown field 
rows. Orders will be accepted from the six New England 
states from New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, 
Maryland, Delaware, Virginia and West Virginia only, 
and within these states we guarantee safe arrival in 
good growable condition. PRICES ARE POSTPAID ON
