icebox Watermelon 
Valiant Tomato 
(New). Large-Fruited Early Type 
(67 days.) This new variety has now taken the place of the 
old Earliana in many sections. It ripens three or four days later 
but has so much larger and finer fruit that this difference is usually 
not important. The fruit is smooth, deep, nearly round in shape 
and of good interior structure; it colors up much better than 
Earliana, and the early yields are very heavy. 
The vines are of spreading habit of growth and do best when 
well fertilized and grown on fairly heavy soil. Valiant has already 
proved to be a most popular and profitable variety for early 
market. Pkt., 15c. 
Stokesdale Tomato 
Heavy Yielding Medium Early Type 
(70 days.) Ripening at the same time as John Baer, this ex- 
cellent variety has proved to be well adapted for market, shipping 
and canning. The fruit is medium sized, with a very uniform 
smooth, deep globe shape, bright scarlet color and fine quality. 
The fruit ripens evenly and is very free of cracks and blemishes. 
The yields are extremely heavy and the vines are strong and 
vigorous, making it one of the most dependable kinds to grow. 
Our strain is by far the best obtainable. Pkt., 15c. 
Fordhook Fancy Mustard 
(40 days.) Dark green, deeply curled and fringed leaves curv- 
ing backward like ostrich plumes. Of mild flavor; splendid for 
greens or salads. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 25c; 14 Ib., 75c. 
Dwarf Sulphur or Brimstone Beans 
(55 days.) About 12 inches high, erect growth. The pod is 
green, 3!4 to 4 inches long, semi-round, and very much like 
Burpee’s Stringless in shape, except that the point is long. 
Pkt., 15c; 14 Ib., 30c; Ib., 50c; 5 Ibs., $2.25. 
Oak-Leaved Lettuce 
(40 days.) This excellent variety is noted for its 
ability to withstand hot weather without turning bitter. 
Leaves are smooth and lobed to resemble the leaf of an 
oak tree, deep green and tender. Pkt., 20c; 0z., 60c;¥% 
1% tb., $1.75. 
Bibb Lettuce 
A loose waxy head variety with very deep green 
outer leaves, bleaching to a rich yellowish green inside.

a distinct flavor. Very popular for family gardens, high 
class hotel and restaurant trade. One of the best win- 
ter forcing varieties. Pkt., 20c; 1% 0z., 30c; 0z., 50c; 
14 Ib., $1.50.

Icebox Watermelon 
Just a Handful of Watermelon 
This new variety of midget Watermelon is about the size of a _ 
Honey Dew Muskmelon and will weigh about 5 lbs. It can be — 
compared to the size of the average bowling ball. This is about — 
the best size, perfectly round and smooth. ace 
This Melon originally came from Manchuria, and as Man- — 
churia is a cold country they necessarily are extraordinarily early. — 
This fact is of tremendous importance. a 
They are unbelievably prolific. They have plant vigor, the — 
rind is thin and strong, the flesh is a flashy red, with black seeds, — 
which makes a nice picture when set for you on the table. 
Think of yourself, in going home after a hard day’s work. 
You hesitate at your corner grocery store to lug home a 30-lb. 
Watermelon under your arm or out to the car. You are fearful 
of breaking it and when you get it home you know that it cannot 
be consumed at one sitting. If held over until the following day 
it has lost some of its attractiveness and taste. The remaining part 
is too large to fit into the average refrigerator. The large water- 
melon then becomes a nuisance, messy, whereas the Icebox or. 
Individual Watermelon is easily consumed at ‘one sitting, one 
half to each person being sufficient. Pkt., 20c. 
Lincoln Corn 
(83 days.) An early midseason hybrid yellow Corn developed 
at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station. Ears are 
large, 8 to 9 inches long, tapering, well covered with husk, and 
have 12 to 16 rows of bright golden kernels of good quality. Tall 
grower. Desirable for home and market. Ears well filled. 
Pkt., 15c; 14 lb., 40c; Ib., 70c; 5 Ibs., $3.00. 
Stowell’s Evergreen Hybrid Corn 
(90 days.) Ears 71/7 to 84 inches long, with 14 to 18 rows 
of deep, narrow, white kernels which are tender and very sweet. 
Recommended for home or market garden as well as for canning. 
8 to 10 feet tall. Differs from open pollinated Stowell’s Evergreen 
in having a smaller ear, narrower and deeper kernels and greater 
uniformity of maturity. The ears are about 2 inches across at the 
Bio and taper slightly. Pkt., 15c; 14 1b., 40c; Ib., 70c; 5 Ibs., 
3.00. : 
Aunt Mary Sweet Corn 
(90 days.) A white Sweet Corn that is extremely sweet and 
tender. Kernels are large and easy to take from the cob. Average 
10 rows to the ear. The stalk is very vigorous, medium to long 
season in maturing the ears which are very long. Every stalk will 
produce two eatable ears. It is not subject to Stewart's Disease. 
Outstanding in quality of Corn, vigor of stalk growth, and lasting 
tenderness of extra sweet Corn. We recommend this variety. 
Pkt., 15c; 14 lb., 25c; lb., 45c; 5 Ibs., $2.00.
