Vegetable Varieties 
OF SPECIAL MERIT 
Some of the items to which we are calling your 
special attention are new varieties and some are not. 
All possess great merit and you will make no mis- 
take giving these varieties a trial. 
PEPPER 16 TO 1 and Pepper Early Pimento. 
CABBAGE EARLY MARVEL—tThe earliest cabbage 
producing heads of medium to large size. 
CABBAGE DELUX—Medium early and the most 
profitable and dependable in the corn belt. 
CABBAGE SPECIAL HOLLANDER—We have a re- 
markably pure strain that you should try if you 
grow late cabbage. 
CELERY CRISP HEART—An extra early easily 
blanched “green” celery. 
TOMATO SUPREME MARGLOBE—Grow this togeth- 
er with regular Marglobe to see that this special 
strain of Marglobe is way ahead in quality and a 
profit producer for the grower. 
TOMATO SUPREME GULF STATE—The most uni- 
form and perfect strain in existence. If you grow 
pink tomatoes give our strain a trial. 
TOMATO 100%—Read the description. 
TOMATO MARVELOUS PINK GLOBE—There is 
nothing as good in LARGE fruited pink tomatoes 
than our Marvelous Pink Globe. 
HYBRID SWEET CORN—Possesses quality and pro- 
duces much heavier crops than regular Sweet Corn. 
Ae yet the seed is rather expensive. 
ONION WHITE BUNCHING—Very quick growing 
onion for bunching. All who tried this variety made 
good money. 
Noteworthy Flowers 
NEW AND OLD 
Some of the flowers mentioned below are noth- 
Ing new. Though old they are unknown to many. 
For that reason we call special attention to them. 
Because known only to a small number of the flower 
leving public they will prove of equal value as nov- 
elties if exposed to public view in blooming stage. 
As a grower what is of importance to you ts 
increase in sales. We cannot see where it makes 
any difference whether you will effect more sales 
by offering novelties or by offering forgotten or un- 
justly overlooked old flowers. These old flowers now 
undeservedly neglected by both professionals and 
amateurs will be found equally as good or even 
better sellers than some of the novelties. 
ACONTITUM—If you sell cut flowers it will pay you to 
work up a stock of Aconitum. The flowers come in 
many shades of blue, are as attractive as Delphin- 
ium and if you will plant the three varieties listed 
by us you will be able to cut from May to frost. 
Start the seed in January in a flat placed in a cold 
frame, or you may sow in the open late in the fall. 
It takes 2 to 3 years from date of sowing to bloom- 
ing size plants. Aconitum requires heavy soil and 
some shade during the hottest part of the summer. 
CAMPANULA GLOMERATA SUPERBA—One of the 
choicest cut flowers, heat and drought resistant and 
easy to raise from seed. 
CARNATION GIANT OF PRAGUE—Just as easily 
sold as it is easy to raise. Read the description. 
CENTAUREA AMERICANA—Ranks very high as a 
cut flower. It must be cut just when it begins to 

open when it will gradually open to full size and 
retain elegant form for days after cutting. 
DIANTHUS WINTERI—A beauty that can be turned 
into cash when in pots on Mother’s Day as well as 
through the spring months and again in the Fall. 
DIANTHUS DELTOIDES—Will grow under condi- — 
tions hardly any other plant could endure save cac- 
tus. The dark green shiny foliage forms neat cush- 
ions and above this fine leaved highly ornamental 
cushion of foliage is a sheet of lustrous crimson 
bloom from May to August and again late in fall if 
the stalks are cut. A self selling plant easily and 
inexpensively raised. ; 
DORONICUM—Furnishes a wealth of bloom, highly 
valuable to the florist, in April and May. Potted 
plants in bloom self at sight. 
ASPARAGUS VEIL OF LACE—hardy perennial as- 
paragus, producing in the open quantities of as val- 
uable material for the florist as does Asparagus 
Sprengheri. 
CLEMATIS MANDSHURICA—Hardy upright grow- 
ing kind producing first class flowers for flower work. 
YOU ARE MISSING a chance to make some ex- 
tra money if you are not raising Lilium Tenuifolium 
in quantity. Tenuifolium is a beauty and no lily 
is easier to raise. There will be a big demand for 
this Lily as soon as it will be better known. The 
seed will produce at least 2000 salable size bulbs 
per standard cold frame (6x8 ft.) in one year. From 
an ounce of seed you will raise at least 4000 bulbs. 
Try this: Pot up a few bulbs of Tenuifolium and 
expose these to public view. If you’ll do this you 
will sow plenty of Tenuifolium after seeing what a 
self-selling flower is Lily Tenuifolium. 
DWARF PHLOX—One of the showiest of which im- 
mense quantities of plants can be and will be sold 
when dwarf phlox will be better known. Have good 
supply of plants on hand and try some of the Cecily 
strain of Dwarf Phlox. 
PENTSTEMON GRANDIFLORUS—Is a flower of 
great beauty as effective and valuable for cutting as 
Gladioli. If not allowed to suffer by lack of mois- 
ture produces spikes 5 feet tall with extra large 
individual flowers. 
STOCK GIANT WONDER —Is a wonder among forc- 
ing stocks. It is a strain that brings best results 
in dollars and cents. 
SWEET WILLIAM BLACK PRINCESS—An old flower yet 
a new flower. How so? Almost every visitor that sees 
our bed of Black Princess buys a few plants. These vis- 
itors have never before seen the black-red flower. The 
color compels attention. Try this: Pot up a quantity of 
Black Princess. Sink the pots in the ground where it will 
be seen by passersby if you want to sell during May up 
to August when this plant is in bloom. 3
