VEGETABLES OF 
315 NANTES CARROTS 
Delicious— Early —Coreless 



The smooth handsome appearance and rich delicious flavor have 
made Nantes one of the most popular carrots grown today. It is early, 
reaching a usable size before most other kinds, and whether large or small 
it is always tender, fine grained and sweet. For freezing, it has no equal. 
The roots grow fully six inches long, cylindrical or slightly tapered 
and stump-rooted. The surface is smooth and they have a clear waxy 
look that is most attractive. The color is deep orange extending right 
through the root so there is practically no core. This carrot is so sweet 
and tender that it is a great favorite for eating raw as well as cooked.

325 TENDERSWEET CARROTS 
The Sweetest and Finest-Flavored Kind 
Tendersweet has a richness and quality of flavor which we have found 
in no other variety. People who do not care for ordinary carrots are often 
very enthusiastic about *“Tendersweet,”” and most home gardeners who 
have tried it will never go without it in their gardens. Even when they 
have grown very large, these carrots remain more tender and sweet than 
any other kind and for this reason they are ideal for storing to eat in the 
winter. These large fine textured carrots are an attractive deep orange 
throughout and practically coreless. Tendersweet carrot is unusual in 
appearance, as the outer skin is of deep orange color tinged with deep red.

533 PENNLAKE LETTUCE 
Hard Heading New Iceberg—Tipburn-Resistant 
For growers in the Northeast, Pennlake is the most outstanding of the 
new lettuce varieties being introduced this year. It is an early, good-sized 
and firm-heading type from Prof. M. T. Lewis of Penn State College, 
originated from a cross between Great Lakes and Imperial 847. The 
heads are medium to large, slightly flattened and mature very evenly at 
one time, coming on just ahead of Cornell 456. 
The crisp dark green leaves are moderately blistered, fringed at the 
edges and they fold well over to make compact attractive heads of very 
good quality. It is resistant to tip-burn and particularly successful for 
early crop on both muck and upland.

534 PREMIER GREAT LAKES 
All-America Bronze Medal Winner for 1949 
Also developed by Prof. Lewis, this refined, earlier strain of Great 
Lakes is a valuable improvement for many upland growers. It has the 
same sure-heading tendency and ability to stand summer heat, but has a 
smoother leaf, greater uniformity and is ready to cut several days earlier. 
Large framed and a vigorous grower, Premier Great Lakes is distin- 
guished by its broad, attractively fringed leaves with little blistering. 
The large, well-rounded heads are crisp, solid and delicious. In our fall 
trials it was strikingly even in appearance and we enjoyed its choice 
quality for weeks.

418 HARRIS’ DOUBLE YIELD 
Wonderful for Pickles and Early Slicers 
Developed and grown by us on our own farms, this cucumber is the 
best kind for both pickles and small extra early slicers. [t is the earliest 
and most prolific variety we have ever seen, producing enormous quan- 
tities of pickles and excellent small early cucumbers for slicing. 
The fruit is of medium length, very straight with blunt ends and of 
deep green color, perfect for both small and dill pickles When large 
enough for slicing, they are thick and have very small seeds, and the 
flesh is crisp and clear white. 

If the vines are kept picked, Double Yield continues to produce fruit 
at an astonishing rate. Small pickles are often produced in clusters of 3 
or 4 like the fingers of your hand, and slicing size cucumbers are ready 
earlier than any kind we know.
