85 Tendergreen— Our Favorite Round Green Bean 
If you want really delicious, tender, fine flavored, early snap beans, be sure to plant 
Tendergreen. There is no dwarf bean that has finer 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 out- 
standing 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 handsome appearance brings customers and the quality keeps them coming 
back for more.

50 New Long Tendergreen 
Long Round Pods of Fine Quality 
This new strain which we introduced last year produces the longest and handsomest 
pods we have ever seen in a round green bush bean. It retains all the best qualities of the 
famous Tendergreen—high flavor, tenderness and thick meat, and yet actually grows 
fully an inch longer than that variety. The pods often measure more than seven inches 
in length and even when they grow large, they remain just as tender and succulent as 
very young beans. 
They ripen a few days later than Tendergreen and if kept picked will bear over a long 
period. The plants are robust and healthy and produce a great abundance of these long 
handsome pods. 
An excellent strain which we strongly recommend to all growers of round green beans.

520 Great Lakes Lettuce 
Crisp Solid Heads—Stands Summer Heat 
All American Winner for 1944 
For years gardeners have wanted a crisp heading lettuce of Iceberg 
type that would stand up and produce good hard heads even after the 
weather gets hot in mid-summer. Great Lakes, developed at Michigan 
State College, is the answer. It stands without bolting or producing a 
seed stalk long after other varieties are gone and it is exceptionally re- 
sistant to tip-burn. Planted in the spring, it makes heads about a week 
later than Imperial 44 and remains in fine condition for a long time 
thereafter in spite of hot weather. 
The plants are large and vigorous and the heads are of good size and 
extremely hard. The leaves are dark green, attractively fringed and 
blistered and they wrap tightly over the head making solid compact 
heads of unsual crispness. 
Great Lakes is an ideal type for home gardeners who have difficulty 
growing good head lettuce as it does well under a wide range of conditions. 
Like all head lettuce it requires plenty of room for each plant—at least 
14 inches each way. Thin the plants while they are still small. 
For summer lettuce the new Great Lakes has no equal. 
Pkt. 20c; 44 Oz. 50c; 1 Oz. 90c; 14 Lb. $2.50. 

Great Lakes—New Iceberg type. 
222 Long Season, “A Beet of Quality” 
Also called ‘‘Winter Keeper’’ or ‘‘New Century.’’ 
This beet has long been a favorite among our customers, and each year 
makes a host of new friends. 
If you want a beet that will remain tender and sweet all summer and 
fall and keep all winter, try the “Long Season.” It is the best quality table 
beet. It makes no difference whether the beets are young or old, small or 
large, they are always tender. The beets are a very deep red color without 
light colored rings and with large green tops. 
Do not depend on this beet for early use as it grows slowly but when the 
early-sown beets get tough and poor, the Long Season will be found to be 
of the finest quality and even though they are very large, just as tender as 
the young early beets. They retain their fine quality when stored in a cold 
place for winter use. 
Pkt: 10c; Oz. 35c; 14 Lb. $1.10; 44 Lb. $1.85; Lb. $3.50. Long Season Beets—Large Sweet and Tender.
