BEANS, CHEROKEE WAX 
This new Bean has same shape and length as String- 
less Black Valentine. The pods are golden yellow. We 
believe it will replace most other Wax varieties. Listed 
on page 4. 

CABBAGE, GOLDEN ACRE DISEASE-RESISTANT 
Our strain is the earliest maturing found anywhere. 
Can be planted as close as 14 inches in the row, hav- 
ing short outer leaves. Highly resistant to “Yellows- 
Disease.” Listed on page 6. 
CELERY, UTAH PASCAL 
Truly a “Giant” of the Celery tribe. It was espec- 
ially bred for climatic and soil conditions as are found 
in Michigan and Ohio. Stalks are well rounded and 
long jointed. The finest ever produced for selling 
“green.” See page 9. 
LETTUCE, SUPER GREAT LAKES 
A great improvement in Head Lettuce. The ribs of 
the leaves are less pronounced. It matures 8 to 10 
days earlier than regular Great Lakes. The heads are 
large and solid. Recommended for hotbed seeding and 
early in the field. See page 13.

SWEET CORN, LINCOLN HYBRID 


This marvelous hybrid is known as one of the best 



wilt-resisting and heat-resisting crosses. It matures in 
82 to 84 days, producing ears 71% to 8 inches long 
with 14 rows of deep, narrow kernels. Stalks grow 
about 7 feet tall. See page 10. 







RADISH, CHERRY-BELLE 


Something new in Radishes. The shape is like a 
Cherry, therefore, more round than Cavalier. The color 
is rosy red. Tops are short but firm. For summer crop 
in muck soil it will grow fast and yet remain hard.

part pure white. They are smooth and exceedingly
