195 WORLD’S RECORD PEAS 
Very Early—Large Peas of Fine Flavor 
Without question, this well known and popular variety is recognized 
as the best early kind, both for home garden and market. It combines 
earliness, high quality, large pods and heavy yield. The pods are 314 to 
4 in. long and filled with large peas that are very tender and sweet. The 
vines are strong, bear heavily and produce big crops right from the start. 
There is nothing quite so delicious as these large succulent peas right out 
of your garden early in the season.

160 GREATER PROGRESS PEAS 
Large Podded Early Type 
We introduced this splendid variety several years ago and it has 
rapidly become one of our most popular early peas for both home and 
commercial use. As the name implies, it is an improved variety of the 
Progress type, bearing tremendous crops of exceptionally even, hand- 
some pods. 
The vines are dwarf— only about 18 inches high, but they are literally 
loaded with large, dark green, well-filled pods 4 to 414 inches long. The 
peas are sweet and tender and the pods are the most uniformly large and 
attractive we have ever seen in a pea of this type.

520 GREAT LAKES LETTUCE 
Fine Solid Heads—Stands Summer Heat 
Great Lakes is a crisp heading “‘Iceberg” lettuce that will really stand up and make good hard heads even 
in hot weather. It stands without bolting long after other varieties are gone and it is exceptionally resistant to 
tipburn. Planted in the spring it makes heads about a week later than Imperial 44 and remains in fine condi- 
tion for a long time thereafter in spite of hot weather. 
The plants are large and vigorous, dark green in color and the fringed leaves wrap over very tightly making 
solid compact heads of unusual crispness. 
Great Lakes is an ideal summer lettuce for home gardeners and market growers alike, for it succeeds under 
a wide range of conditions. To get good heads, give the plants plenty of room—thin to at least 14 inches apart.

539 SLOBOLT LETTUCE 
New—Long Standing—Crisp Green Leaves 
This splendid new leaf lettuce, developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is a real find for 
home gardeners. Its great advantage is that it will stand without bolting to seed for at least two or 
three weeks longer than the regular kinds. 
Slobolt resembles Grand Rapids in type, having the same attractive fringed and crinkled leaves, 
light green in color, and of delightful crispness and mild flavor. Instead of running up to seed when the 
weather gets hot, it remains dwarf and compact in growth, producing a thick cluster of leaves in the 
center. If the plants are spaced 10 to 12 inches apart, the lower leaves may be picked off as they grow 
large enough, and the same plants will continue to produce fine crisp lettuce over a long period. 
Slobolt is adapted for growing in spring, summer and fall, and is a most desirable home garden variety. —

560 DELICIOUS—The Largest and Sweetest Early Melon 
Here is a combination of earliness, high quality, fine appearance, and good size not found in 
any other variety of melon. It is the earliest melon we offer, yet the fruit are large, averaging 
fully 5 lbs. and have a remarkably sweet flavor. 
When they are ready to pick, the skin is a creamy yellow and covered with fine netting. 
The flesh is thick and moderately firm, and of attractive deep orange color. These melons are 
always sweet and delicious to eat. The vines grow vigorously, and produce enormous yields 
of fine fruit. Delicious is not a shipping type but is a wonderful melon for home gardens and 
roadside stands. 
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 50c; 14 Lb. $1.40; 14 Lb. $2.50. 
582 HONEY CREAM WATERMELON 
Best for the North— Yellow Flesh 
If you have had difficulty growing good watermelons, try this delicious new early variety. 
Itis a heavy-yielding type of exceptional sweetness and flavor, yet it ripens as early as a Bender 
melon and can be grown in sections too cool for the standard kinds. In addition the crisp 
creamy-yellow flesh has a remarkably sweet taste and a rich flavor that compares well with 
any watermelon. The fruit are nearly round in shape, attractively striped, and have a thin 
a tant oS a rind. Honey Cream is ideal for home gardens and roadside st ds ially in Northern 
Delicious Muskmelon sections. Pkt. 15c; Oz. 50c; 14 Lb. $1.40: 4 Lb. $2.50. ands, especially in
