Garden Seed Specialties 
Our vegetable exhibits have attracted much attention at the 
Massachusetts Hoticulturai Society Victory Garden Shows not only 
for their novel and attractive arrangement but also because of the 
many new and worthwhile varieties shown. The “Roadside Stand” 
featured in 1943 received the Silver Medal, while our 1944 exhibit 
“Vegetables growing on the Contour” was given a special award as 
the feature of the show. Our 1945 exhibit is shown above. 
All plants and seeds offered in this catalog postpaid. 
NEW SHELL BEAN “FLASH”

success. A compact bush bean bearing tremendous crops which 
ripen early in the season. The very dark red dry beans, much 
darker than the ordinary kidney bean, retain their color when 
baked. 10c pkt. 50¢ Ib. $2.00 for 5 lbs.
