430 MARKETER CUCUMBERS 
The Best Dark Green Slicer 
Whether you grow for home use, market or 
shipping, Marketer is beyond a doubt the finest 
slicing variety to plant. It is very smooth, 
slim and handsome and carries an exceptional 
deep green color over the entire fruit. At the 
picking stage, these cukes are 7 to 8 inches 
long, slender and tapered symmetrically at the 
ends giving a most elegant appearance. Its 
ability to hold its freshness, dark color and 
trim shape for several days makes Marketer 
the favorite of growers everywhere. 
The crisp white flesh is unusually thick with 
a tiny seed cavity, and the high quality is 
maintained over a long period. Famous for 
big yields of fine even fruit, Marketer pro- 
duces heavily from early until late. Our strain 
is noted for uniformity and true type; for the 
best in dark green cucumbers, grow our Mar- 
keter. Pkt. 15c; Oz. 35c; 14 Lb. 95c; 
14 Lb. $1.55; Lb. $2.75. 
416 GREEN THUMB PICKLE—Harris’ New White-Spined Double Yield 
So early and easy to grow that you don’t need a “green thumb’? to raise the finest crops, this is 
a brand new pickling cucumber, developed here on our farm. Produced from a single dark green 
white-spined fruit found in our popular Double Yield, it has the same profuse bearing habit, and 
smooth cylindrical shape with even better color. Instead of turning yellow whem a little old as 
most pickles do, Green Thumb holds its fine color and excellent quality through the large dill 
and slicing stages. 
Like Double Yield, the fruit are uniform with rounded ends and the vigorous vines bear tre- 
mendous early crops. For the finest dark green pickles and for extra early slicers, too, try our 
new Green Thumb. Pkt. 15c; Oz. 40c; 14 Lb. $1.10; 14 Lb. $1.75; Lb. $3.25. 
127 MINIATURE SWEET CORN 
Delicious Little Ears 
Green Thumb Pickle 
Ready to pick in about 66 days, Miniature pro- 
duces tiny ears of remarkable sweetness right 
from the start of the season. The dwarf plants 
may be planted as close as 1 x 2 ft. so the 
smallest garden can grow plenty of this un- 
usual delicacy. The ears are about 5 in. long, 
closely filled with 8 rows of deep golden ker- 
nels on a pencil-thin cob. Perfect for freezing 
as well as fresh use, they are exceptionally 
tender, rich in flavor and high in sugar for 
such an early corn. We highly recommend 
Miniature for home use. 
Pkt. 25c; 14 Lb. 75c; Lb. $1.35. 
Miniature—Very early, tender and sweet. 
587 SEEDLESS WATERMELON—Sweet, Crisp Red Flesh 
This is the watermelon you have been waiting for! Not a mere novelty 
but a really sweet, fine-flavored kind practically without seeds. The 
medium-sized, dark green striped fruit have solid interiors of crisp 
bright red flesh, far superior in quality to most ordinary kinds. Excep- 
tionally sweet and tasty, they are an unusual treat on the dinner table. 
The fruit do contain some tiny white undeveloped seed coats, not notice- 
able in eating, and an occasional seed, but mostly they are just firm 
delicious red flesh all the way through. Ripens early and not difficult to 
grow, but seeds germinate slowly, should be started indoors at high tem- 
perature. Plant with regular watermelon for pollination. (Extra seeds 
sent free for this purpose.) Pkt. of 10 seeds 75c; 50 seeds $3.00. 
584 NORTHLAND HYBRID—Best Early Watermelon 
Here is a watermelon designed especially for Northern gardeners. De- 
veloped and grown here on our farms and sold only by us, Northland 
has true hybrid vigor—large healthy vines and fruit borne in great 
profusion. Early maturing and easy to grow, these watermelons are of 
perfect size and wonderful flavor. 
The handsomely striped oval fruit are about 8 in. in diameter, just 
right for the refrigerator. The rind is firm and the rich red flesh is crisp 
and juicy with a high sugar content. All in all, the last word in fine 
early watermelons. Pkt. (about 40 seeds) 35c; \Y% Oz. 95c; 44 Oz. $1.85; 
Oz. $3.50; 14 Lb. $12.50.

TENDERSWEET CARROT 
325 
The Sweetest, 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. Tender- 
sweet carrot is unusual in appearance, as the 
outer skin is of deep orange color tinged with 
red. Pkt. 15c; 14 Oz. 35c; Oz. 60c; 
\% Lb. $1.40; 144 Lb. $2.25.
