NEW AND OLD VEGETABLE VARIETIES THAT WE 
ESPECIALLY RECOMMEND FOR THE FARM AND GARDEN 
20 TENDERGREEN BEANS 
Best Quality Green Bush Bean 
Every year new varieties of snap beans are intro- 
duced. Some are beautiful in appearance, others are 
resistant to certain diseases and some are recommended 
for long distance shipping. 
These are important considerations to certain grow- 
ers but to the gardener, eating quality is all important. 
We believe that the long, round, tender, stringless 
‘Tendergreen still stands at the top of the list as a green 
bush bean for the home and local market gardener. 
Tendergreen is also recommended as one of the best 
table freezing varieties.

31 PUREGOLD WAX BEAN 
All-America Winner 
Most yellow podded snap beans are inferior in quality 
to the green varieties; however, Puregold is the excep- 
tion. Here we have a long, round, meaty bean that 
has tenderness and flavor. The only objection to 
Puregold is that it does not mature quite as early as 
Pencil Pod Black Wax. If you grow wax beans, we 
suggest that you plant both varieties. This will give 
you a long picking season.

100 DETROIT DARK RED BEET 
Best for Canning 
Most home gardeners plan on using a part of the 
beets direct from the garden and canning the surplus. 
While Detroit Dark Red is not quite as early as some 
varieties it has far better color which makes it an ideal 
canning or pickling variety. Our special strain of 
Detroit Dark Red is noted for its uniformity and solid 
red color.

261 SENECA DELICIOUS MUSKMELON 
An Early Melon for the Home and Local Market 
If you want a lot of 2 to 3 pound high quality melons 
that will ripen before frost, you should plant Seneca 
Delicious. The orange colored flesh is sweet and fine 
flavored but not firm enough to stand shipping long 
distances.

262 SENECA BENDER MUSKMELON 
An Improved Strain of a Well-known Melon 
About all we can say that has not already been said 
on the inside of the front cover is that most of the best 
melon growers in New York State plant Seneca Bender.

140 NANTES CARROT 
Tender and Sweet 
New varieties of carrot are being introduced almost 
every year. Many of these, the introducer claims, 
have superior quality. We have tested most of them 
in out trial grounds but have never found a carrot 
superior to Nantes for tenderness and flavor. If you 
have never grown Nantes, we recommend that you try 
it this year.

198 MARKETER CUCUMBER 
Has Wide Adaptability 
Most vegetable varieties have certain areas in which 
they are outstanding but when grown under other 
conditions are disappointing. Marketer, on the other 
hand, seems to do well in all parts of the East. We 
have never heard anything but praise for Marketer 
as a slicing cucumber.
