W: ARE NOW EIGHT YEARS OLD. Again we offer vou what we 
think is the best in varieties for both home and commercial use for this 
New England territory. We are continuously trying out new varieties 
and selecting them for yield, quality, and early maturity; and we are 
making a special effort to bring to you the latest introductions from our: 
northern experiment stations, varieties which have been bred especially 
for New England. We have had our troubles, of course, this last sum- 
mer. The weather was extremely dry, our crops were slow in maturing, 
and we had no suitable land to start new beds of strawberries. We have 
bought a small farm near Durham that we intend to use for trial pur- 
poses and also to grow many of the seeds we offer in the catalog and es- 
pecially strawberries, raspberries, and other plants. We are interested 
in producing stock, of those varieties of fruits which have originated at 
the New Hampshire and other New England experiment stations. It 
may take us two or three years to work up this stock, but we hope to 
have it for you in the near future. 
We offer the new Scarlet Beauty Shell Bean for the first time this 
year. Our customers tell us that some of our newer introductions such 
as the Red Pickler tomato, the Doublerich tomato, and the Winfield 
Lima bean are exceptional, while such new varieties as America spin- 
ach, the Iroquois muskmelon, the Earliest broccoli, and the Highmoor 
Yellow Eve bean are the best in their class.
