FRESH DUG ROOTS OF SENECA 
WASHINGTON ASPARAGUS 
A new strain developed from the Mary Washington by 
careful selection of size of plant and ability to produce 
longer and more uniform large green stalks with compact 
purple tips. Very vigorous growing strain, resistant as its 
parents to disease. 
For best resulls we recommend these one-year-old roots 
carefully grown and graded to size and quality. A light 
cutting may be made the second year. For many suc- 
ceeding seasons a full crop of stalks may be cut all spring.

A NEW ASPARAGUS No. 500 
A new kind developed by the University of California 
and now planted almost exclusively by the growers of 
that great Asparagus-producing State. Has larger stalks 
than older kinds; is more productive; tips are more closed; 
produces high quality stalks for a longer season; better 
for freezing, canning and shipping.

TABLE BEETS 
One package of seed planted 2 inches apart, will make a row about 25 feet long; one ounce will make a row 
100 feet long. If you like greens, especially ‘‘Beet Greens,” sow the seed thickly in a broad row 4 to 6 inches 
wide, and when the tops are 3 to 5 inches tall, thin out and use the tops and roots as greens. This method of sowing 
takes one ounce of seed for 20 feet of row. — 
The best results are obtained on a deep, rich, sandy loam. Sow seed 1 inch deep, in drills 16 inches apart, as 
early as possible. If wanted very early, sow in hotbeds and transplant to open ground. Thin to stand 3 or 4 inches 
apart. Cultivate cleanly and thoroughly. For succession, ow at intervals until middle of July. 
DETROIT DARK RED 
For canning either whole, sliced or cubed when the bulbs are 
over 2 inches in diameter this strain of Detroit is by far 
the best. . 
The most popular table and canning Beet grown. As a 
second-early variety, we recommend it for the home and 
market garden. Our special strain is more uniform in shape 
and color than the old Detroit Dark Red. The tops and tap 
roots are small and the leaves dark green, shaded red. Beets 
ore round, smooth, and very dark red in skin and flesh. In 
tenderness and sweetness they are unsurpassed.

EARLY WONDER 
We offer a Special Tall-Topped Strain of this splendid early 
and extremely attractive, round, bright red Beet. While the 

Mary Washington 
Asparagus small, young Beets are round in form, at maturity they be- 
come slightly flattened. They are very smooth and the skin 
deep red. The inside bright red with practically no light 
circle. It is very uniform in shape and size, and is popular 
with the market gardener and in the home garden for canning whole. A much more 
attractive Beet than the ordinary Early Wonder. Pkowidcnozes50c.7 47 lbigioe 
CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN 
This is the best kind to grow when you want to use Beets when very small, say up to 
2 inches in diameter. ; 
Our special strain of this popular variety is better in many respects than the old one. It 
is globular, perfectly smooth, with short top, small tap root, and both skin and flesh dark 
in color. Much earlier than all other dark-fleshed varieties. That it is the very best early 
Beet for home or market gardens is amply proved by the many favorable comments that 
come to us. 2 setts Pkg. lScnoz. 30c? 4b: Woe 

We are particularly proud of this strain of

Tomatoes for Thanksgiving 
‘As late as possible before frost | dig up some of the strongest 
vines full of green Tomatoes and hang them up by the roots in 
a frost-proof cellar. The fruit will gradually ripen, and you can 
have a few every Sunday.”

GREEN TOP WONDER 
A great favorite with the many gardeners who like ‘‘Beet greens.’ Grows 
very rapidly, clean, bright green, tall foliage that does not turn bronze in 
cool weather. Splendid, nearly globe-shaped bulbs, red-skinned and with 
deep red flesh slightly zoned with a lighter shade. Very good quality.

PERFECTED DETROIT 
This is a splendid Beet to grow in the fall, either for immediate use or for 
canning. The bulb is nearly round and very smooth. The flesh fine grained, 
never woody, solid red, perhaps not quite as uniformly so as our Short Top 
Strain of Detroit. Has seldom any light rings and is high in quality. The 
tops are abundant and tall growing. This Beet is particularly popular with 
the commercial canner who harvests his crop with machinery.

‘The Savoy Cabbage | consider one of the most important of 
winter vegetables, as it answers 2 purposes, first, as a Cabbage, 
to be boiled, which is much sweeter than ordinary Cabbage, sec- 
ondly, as a beautiful, sweet salad Cabbage when cut and dressed 
same as Endive.’ MR. G. HUNTER.
