VARIETIES WE RECOMMEND FOR THE HOME GARDEN 3 
If you can plant peas shortly after the frost is out 
of the ground we recommend Little Marvel but 
most gardens are not ready that early. Wando is 
the only high quality pea that can be planted suc- 
cessfully as late as June. Lita says, ‘‘These 
Wando peas were planted June 7th.” 
500 LITTLE MARVEL 
Early Heavy Yielding Pea 
Heavy yield, earliness, delicious high quality 
peas and an attractive appearance make Little 
Marvel a most desirable variety for table use 
and freezing. ‘The 18 inch vines bear a heavy 
crop of dark green, nearly round, square-end- 
ed pods, 3 inches long which are tightly pack- 
ed with 7 to 8 sweet, tender peas. We recom- 
mend it for use wherever peas can be planted 
early. 1% lb. 40¢; lb. 65¢; 2 Ibs. $1.25. 
503 WANDO 
The New Heat Resistant Pea 
Many gardens are planted too late to pro- 
duce a good crop of peas. Wando is a pea 
that you can plant late and still get a good 
crop of high quality peas. Wando has been 
tested in our trial grounds for 5 years and has 
consistently given us good yields even in ex- 
tremely hot summer weather. In 1950 our last 
planting made on June 8th matured an excel- 
lent crop early in August. Wando yields well, 
has excellent flavor and quality and freezes 
well. 1 Ib. 45¢; lb. 70¢; 2 Ibs. $1.35. 
360 COMET RADISH 
Radishes in the home garden have the habit 
of becoming pithy before they can all be used. 
One way to avoid this is to make small succes- 
sive plantings. Another practice that will 
help a lot is to sow Comet. It is a very attrac- 
tive, round radish that doesn’t seem to get 
pithy as quickly as other varieties. Pkt. 10¢; 
oz. 25¢. 
365 RADISH BLEND 
This is a blend of Comet, Early Scarlet 
Globe, and White Icicle radishes. ‘The ad- 
vantages of sowing the blend of radishes for 
the home garden is that the early varieties, 
Comet and Early Scarlet Globe, bottom first 
and can be pulled leaving room for the later 
maturing Icicle. Make successive sowings for 
radishes all summer. Pkt. 10¢; 02. 25¢. 
EBENEZER ONION SETS 
‘These sets are small onions less than 34 inch 
in diameter. When set in rows they produce 
green onions or if allowed to develop will 
form medium sized cooking onions without 
going to seed. We suggest that sets be placed 
close together in the row and thinned for 
green onions as they develop. Dust or spray 
with DDT for onion thrip. (See page 33). Lb. 
45¢; 2 lbs. 85¢, prepaid. 
305 BUNCHING ONION 
Best for Green Onions 
Sown in the spring this variety produces 
“green” onions throughout the summer. It 
does not form a bulb. In our garden we sow 
the seed thick and thin the plants by pulling 
the larger ones as they develop. If sown in 
the fall and given a little protection, this 
onion will stand all winter and produce fine, 
“green” onions in the spring. Pkt. 20¢; 14 oz. 
40¢. 
You can successfully grow Great Lakes head let- 
tuce if the seed is sowed as soon as the frost is 
out of the ground. If the ground isn’t ready that 
early, start the plants inside and transplant them 
to the garden later. 
230 GREAT LAKES 
Hard Heading Iceberg Lettuce 
The favorite Iceberg lettuce and most satis- 
factory variety for home gardeners and mar- 
ket gardeners alike. Plants are large, vigorous, 
dark green in color, and the leaves wrap over 
very tightly making solid, crisp, compact 
heads. Best results are obtained when started 
inside and transplanted to open ground by 
mid-May or sown outside as early as soil can 
be worked. Be sure to give plants plenty of 
room — thin to 12 or 14 inches apart. Pkt. 
25¢; Yo oz. 45¢. 
220 BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON 
Finest Leaf Lettuce 
The most popular loose leaf lettuce for the 
home garden. Plants are large, attractive, 
compact, with broad, frilled light green leaves 
that are of fine crisp texture and splendid 
quality. Make successive sowings at three 
week intervals for garden lettuce all summer 
long. Pkt. 15¢; 1% oz. 20¢. 
691 LONG ISLAND MAMMOTH DILL 
Easy to Grow for Making Your 
Dill Pickles 
Larger and much better than the common 
dill, Long Island Mammoth is so easy to grow 
that you should have it handy in your garden 
rather than depend on buying it at the mar- 
ket. Dill pickles are easy to make; also the 
green leaves are excellent for flavoring in 
soups and salads. Pkt. 10¢. 
Onions are another crop where the seed should be 
sowed very early in the spring if large, dry 
onions are to be produced but you can overcome 
this by setting Sweet Spanish Onion Plants. These 
onions often weigh over a pound. 
UTAH SWEET SPANISH 
ONION PLANTS 
For early use and for large dry onions in 
late summer, we recommend our Texas grown 
Sweet Spanish onion plants. ‘They are trans- 
planted so easily, are so hardy and produce 
such large, mild flavored onions that they are 
becoming more popular every year. See page 
23 for full description. Per bunch 50¢; 5 
bunches $1.80, prepaid. 
260 IROQUOIS MUSKMELON 
Excellent Quality - Thick Flesh 
Developed at Cornell University for fusar- 
ium wilt resistance, Iroquois has become the 
most widely grown melon in the Northeast be- 
cause it is not only disease resistant but also 
uniformly fine in flavor, sweetness, texture, and 
deep orange flesh. Fruits are round to oval, 
about 614 inches in diameter, prominently 
ribbed with heavy netting, and protected with 
a firm rind that stands handling. It ripens in 
midseason, yields well, and is excellent for 
both home and market. Pkt. 25¢; oz. 80¢.

261 SENECA DELICIOUS MUSKMELON 
High Quality Early Melon 
If you want a lot of 2 to 3 pound high qual- 
ity 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. 
Pkt. 25¢; oz. 80¢. 
Seneca Delicious is an early, soft-fleshed melon 
that will melt in your mouth. Just the right size 
to serve a half for breakfast or for lunch with a 
dip of ice cream in the center.
