KALE 
Dwarf Siberian (60-65 days)—A hardy, productive variety with bluish green foliage 
that grows rapidly and is slow running to seed in the spring. Not so curly as the 
Scotch type. 
Tall Scotch (75 days)—Very hardy, upright plants, 30 inches tall. Numerous large 
deep yellowish-green, finely curled leaves. Both of these varieties can be planted in 
the spring or fall. The quality is improved by frost. 
LETTUCE 
Sow lettuce in November for earliest spring use. Sow again very early in the spring. 
Will stand frost. In mountain districts head lettuce may be sown last of July for 
fall crop. Bolts seed stems and tip burns in hot weather. 
Premier Great Lakes (74 days)—Will produce a large percent of perfect heads, slow 
bolting. Dark green outer leaves are well folded over the large, uniform, compact 
heads. A new variety developed by Pennsylvania State College. 
Imperial 847 (83 days)—-A medium sized head that has become well known for its 
resistance to brown blight and hot weather. Leaves are smooth and thick. Heads 
are firm and well folded. 
Los Angeles, New York or Wonderful (80 days)—Large, sweet, crisp heads that are 
tightly folded. Now largely supplanted by the Imperial strains. 
Los Angeles No. 12 (77 days)—This early sure heading strain will stand more warm 
weather than the above. Exposed heads are light green, the leaves are thin. 
Iceberg (84 days)—-Heads compact, crumpled, crisp and white interior. Edges of 
green leaves are tinged with reddish brown. Desired by mountain growers. 
Early Curled Simpson (45 days)——Non-heading, forms compact bunch. Light green, 
tender and sweet. Hardy and dependable. White seed. 
Black Seeded Simpson (46 days)—One of the most popular of the loose leaf varieties. 
Broad leaves much blistered and excessively frilled. Stands well without seeding. 
MUSTARD 
Sow early in the spring, also again in the fall. One ounce to 50 ft. drill. Will pro- 
duce tender succulent leaves in 4 to 5 weeks from time of sowing. 
Giant Southern Curled—The most popular in the Pecos Valley. Hardy, wide, bright 
green leaves with curly edges. Plants quite upright, slightly spreading. 
Large Smooth Leaf—Vigorous, large, deep green, broad-oval leaves which are plain 
except for the toothed margin. 
Mustard Spinach or Tendergreen—Leaves oblong, broad, fairly smooth. Heat and 
drought resistant, slow to seed. Combines flavor of mustard and spinach. 
MELONS — CANTALOUPES 
The Pecos Valley always produces some of the best, both for flavor and size. Plant 
after the danger of frost, in hills 8 by 8 ft. One ounce to 50 hills. Planting seed under 
Hotkaps in the field will produce marketable melons two or three weeks earlier. 
Hale’s Best (80 days)—We offer special select seed in this variety. One of the first 
on the market. Salmon flesh of excellent flavor and quality. A good shipper and the 
best seller on the local market. Fruits oval, 6% by 5% inches, covered with heavy 
netting, indistinct ribbing.
