“THE BEST ARE NONE TOO GOOD FOR YOU TO HOE.”

Rocky Ford, Colorado,

Harvest Time, Fall 1929.

Friends and Customers,

Greeting;

We are now harvesting oUr several thousand acres of seed crops and
are very busy. The crops are good and the quality the best we have
grown. The result of one more year’s selection of the finest, true to type
specimens from which our planting stocks were secured. Then I have
told you before we secure the seeds which we do not grow here froni
the most reliable growers in that part of the world where they leach the
best quality.

Our trade with critical planters all over the U. S. and in many
foreign countries is large, requiring hundreds of thousands of pounds of
seeds each year, and we appreciate the trust you have placed in us and
are making every effort to merit your increased orders.

We are actual growers of much of these seeds and the tendency of
large planters and planters’ associations to go to the source as near as
possible for their seed supplies is growing rapidly.

This is best for all, as no one knows better than planters the need
of good seeds and no one knows l)etter than the seed grower that planters
must be supplied with dependable seeds to keep their trade and also
that planters are willing to pay a fair price for the best. They know the
best seeds can only be supplied from the best of the crop and that crop
must be grown from the best.

I want to tell you that my son, .1. H. Burrell, who has grown up
with the business, looks after the growing and selecting of stock seeds.
He is now a member of our firm and the name has been slightly changed
to D. V. Burrell Seed Growers Co. The same persons are looking after
thiitgs as before and we will appreciate your orders.

Yours truly,

D. V. BURRELL SEED GROWERS CO.

By D. V. Burrell.

Please follow these instructions carefully. If any mistakes occur or
your order is delayed, let me hear from you promptly.

OUR TERMS ARE CASH HTPH ORDER. — Send Postofhce or Express
Money Order, Bank Draft or Registered Letter. .Small amounts may be in
postage stamps.

C. O. D. — No goods shipped C. O. D. Under the new telegraph rul¬
ings you can wire the money with the order where it is necessary to send
wire orders, which does not make it necessary to send C. O. D., as used
to be the case.

HOW TO ORDER. — Always write your name, postofhce, state and
express office plainly, and, if possible use the order sheet. Always carry
out the price of each item.

Make all orders or checks payable to D. V. BURRELL SEED GROW¬
ERS CO.

SAFE ARRIVAL GUARANTEED. — We guarantee safe arrival of all
seeds sent by Mail or Express, but request all to have their addresses
plainly written. If the seeds are not received in a reasonable time, send
an exact copy of the order and state kind of remittance and same will be
given immediate attention.

HOW TO SHIP . — Always state how to ship heavy seeds, if to go by
Freight or Express.

GUARANTEE. — It is impractical to .guarantee seeds, as under im¬
proper care the best of seeds will fail. Some may be sown too shallow
or too deep, in too dry ground or too wet. Some hardy seeds will stand
cool weather and grow when soil is too cold for others and will cause
them to decay. Insects above or below the surface may attack and destroy
them. For these reasons D. V. Burrell Seed Growers Co. gives no war¬
ranty, either expressed or implied, as to description, quality, productive¬
ness or any other matter of any seeds he sends out, and will not in any
way be responsible for the crop.

Seeds Produced “Out West”

Over 90 per cent of the garden seeds grown in the United
States are produced in the west. The soil and climatic conditions
are favorable to their growth and harvest. The finest selections
" of stock seeds are pl'anted and expert care has resulted in a
quality of stocks which is superior to imported seed in nearly
every instance.

Here at Rocky Ford we grow those items which we believe we
can produce better than are grown at other places, but where some
other place has demonstrated that better can be grown than here,
we get them grown for us there by expert specialists.

When you order g-arden seeds from us you get “As Good as
Grow for You to Sow,” and at a price which is based upon the
actual value of the product from which the seed is saved.

Too cheap seed indicates that the seed was taken from an
inferior product. Here is an illustration; Thousands of pounds
of cull cantaloupe seed are saved here each year alnd some who
call themselves seedsmen sell them to planters. No wonder they
can sell them for a low price. They are cut from worthless cull
melons which will not do to sell and would otherwise be fed to
hogs (which should be done). These so-called seedsmen do not
tell the planter they are cull seed but it is like saving the poorest
corn for seed because it will not sell, or the poorest cattle
for breeding purposes because they are not good enough to
fatten for market.

You would not expect good seed wheat at 50c Jper bushel when
good milling wheat was worth $1.00 per bushel.

It takes a crate of cantaloupes to cut a pound of seed and
with thousands of carloads selling to net the grower |1.00 per
crate it is plain what good seed should be worth.

It takes about ten watermelons to cut a pound of seed and
with select melons worth 20c to 50c each the seed is worth $2.00
to $5.00 per pound, and you know seed at 20c per pound would
only represent 2c per melon. AVho would want to grow
select fine melons for seed at 2c each? Planters realize this ^^^d
also that it pays to plant the best seed. This is why nine out ot
ten of our customers buy the best seed. The results from our
seed have been so satisfactory that we have customers at more
than 8,000 post offices in the United States.

Your order for 1930 planting will be appreciated and given
our best care.

Yours truly,

D. V. BURRELL SEED GROWERS OO.

High Altitude Seeds

VS.

Northern Grown Seeds

Have you ever thought of the fact that altitude work's a
greater change in seeds 'than growing' them far north at low alti¬
tudes? It surely does, and here is the reason:

The farther north you go in summer the longer the days until
inside the arctic circle the sun does not set in summer time and
plants grow very rapidly. Now the more rapid the growth the
less hardy the plant because it does not become accustomed to
extremes. They are like hot house plants compared with cold
frame plants.

A careful check by scientists has shown that each one thou- '
sand feet of elevation is equal to 200 miles of latitude at sea level. ^

Our 4,000 feet elevation is then equal to growing 150 miles ^
north of the farthest north boundary of Maine at sea level. That i
is, the summer growing conditions which make for hardiness of
the plants are much the same, except we have a much longer ,
season aad can mature varieties here which would not have time I
to mature there. Tomatoes, melons, etc. |

At high altitudes we gradually reach different changes in tern- '
perature until we re'ach snow line, yet a few hundred feet lower i
we reach timber line and at 4,000 feet, our elevation here, we j
have hot days and cool nights close to the limit at nights where
seeds will mature and yet we have a long season so that our plants
become accustomed to these extremes and mature hardy, vigorous
seeds which themselves are plants in embryo and have inherited
strong constitutions capable of withstanding unfavorable condi¬
tions and producing early maturing crops when planted in other
sections of the country.

Here is an illustration. Cantaloupes in Georgia mature in
about 26 days from the time the bloom falls. Here at Rocky Ford 1
about 45 days are required on account of our cool nights. Now j
what is the result? Seed planted in Georgia from cantaloupes j
grown in Georgia produces melons nearly two weeks later than j
Rocky Ford grown seeds planted in Georgia and the melons are i
not as well developed from Georgia grown seeds. This has been
proven so many times that not alone in Georgia but all over the
United States melon growers send to Rocky Ford each year for
their seeds.

The same applies to other kinds of seeds though it has not
yet been realized to such an extent.

The point is th'is. Seeds should be grown at as high an eleva¬
tion as possible to mature them.

Tomato seeds grown at 4,000 feet or more elevation are more
hardy and produce earlier fruits than seeds grown at low altitudes
where the nights are warm or far north where there is no night
in summer time.

This has been proven fully and you can prove it to your own ,
satisfaction by planting our best tomato seeds in check with the
same varieties grown elsewhere. i

Nearly 90 per cent of all the garden seeds planted in the
United States are Western grown, but as yet only a part O'f these
grown at high altitudes. We predict the time will come when
almost all seeds which will mature at 4,000 feet or more will be ,
grown in such high places.

Some seeds such as head lettuce can be grown at as much as
5,000 feet elevation in Colorado.

Don’t fail to prove this for yourself that our Special Tomato ;
seeds will give you better results than seeds grown at lower alti- i
tudes. Order the seeds early, grow good stalky plants in your 1
hot beds, transplant to cold frames and later when danger of f
frost is passed to open ground and we believe we will have you ‘
as a regular customer.

Yours for good seeds,

D. V. BURRELL SEED GROWERS CO.

Your Garden
Should Grow

Culture. — Asparagus will produce well in practically all sections of the
country, and it should be in every garden. Plant the seeds 15 to 20 to the
foot in rows 16 to 20 inches apart. Thin to about 3 inches apart when
small. It is best to plant a little radish seed with the asparagus seed, as
it comes up quickly and marks the rows so you can cultivate before the

asparagus comes up. Keep free from, weeds and cultivate well to get the

best possible growth of plants. Transplant to permanent bed when the

plants are either one or two years old. The soil for the permanent bed
should be well drained and made very rich by covering with a heavy coat
of barnyard manure. 'Disc the manure in and plow deep. Harrow several
times as soon as plowed. Plow furrows 6 to 8 inches deep, 4 to 6 feet
apart, and set the plants 2 feet apart in the furrows, spreading the roots
out well. Cover with 2 to 3 inches of earth, and after the shoots begin
to come up cover more, until the furrows are leveled.

Fertilize well each year with well-rotted manure. Do not cut any
the first year and only a part of the crop the next yea.r. You should not
cut a full crop until 4 years old, and if well cared for, the bed will
continue to produce for twelve to twenty years.

Nearly all markets now call for Green Asparagus. The stalks should
be cut about 21/3 or 3 inches below the surface when 6 inches high. This
gives a stalk showing 21/3 inches white' and 6 inches natural color. They
should then be tied in bunches 2^2 inches in diameter, 8 V2 inches long.
Grade the asparagus, making up the bunches from stalks of uniform size.

Make your asparagus bed where there is good air drainage, as there
will be less liability to rust than if protected from the wind. Keep the
soil full of humus so it will not blow badly. Give the soil a light dressing
of slaked lime every two or three years; this will sweeten it and help
keep away injurious insects. When the tops are brown in the fall, mow
and burn them.

An ounce of seed produces about 500 plants. To be safe allow 114
pounds of seed for each acre of permanent bed you wish to set; 5,500
plants set an acre; $400 to $600 per acre is a very common return from
asparagus.

See our Wholesale Prices on Large Lots.

WASHINGTON ASPARAGUS

A highly improved strain. This strain is the result of selection since
1910 under the direction of the Bureau of Plant Industry of the United
States Department of Agriculture.

WASHINGTON ASPARAGUS is

highly rust resistant and produces
a heavy crop of large, tender stalks.

Tliis is pedigreed seed.

As an asparagus bed is so long-
lived and the results from the best
type so much better than from in¬
ferior stock the price of seed is so
small an item you cannot afford to
consider it.

I offer Washington Asparagus
seed (per pkt., 5c) (per oz., 15c)
(per % Ih., 35c) (lb.. $1.15) (10

lbs, $9.30) prepaid. Wholesale lots,
50 lbs. and up, not prepaid (85c
per lb.).

Mary Washington

This is the latest introduction
of the rust resistant varieties and
the best with the advantage over
all other varieties of being earlier,
which means so much to the
grower. (Per pkt., 10c) (oz., 20c)

AS GOOD AS GROW FOR YOU TO SOW

garden beans

Crop Short. Order Early.

Beans like a dry and rather light soil, thpugh they will do well in any
garden soil, if not planted too early in the spring. Planting should be de¬
layed until all danger of frost is over. Dwarfs are earliest and most hardy
as a general rule. In garden culture beans are usually planted about 2
inches deep, in rows 18 inches apart, and 3 inches apart in the row; in
field culture, in drills 2 to 3 feet apart, so as to cultivate with horse one
way. Until blossoming season, freciuent but shallow cultivation should be
given. It is useless to expect a crop from a poorly-prepared field, or from
one that needs deep stirring after planting, as cutting of the roots after
the plants show bloom is very apt to kill the vines and ruin the crop.
Two pounds will plant 100 feet of drill, and sixty pounds is suificient for
an acre.

Running beans, especially the Limas, are even more tender than the
Dwarfs; therefore, planting must be delayed still later, or until liability to
rot in consequence of cold, damp weather has passed. Plant five or six
beans in each hill, about 2 inches deep, hills 3 feet apart each way.
Two pounds of seed will be suificient for 100 hills of Limas, or 50 pounds
of Limas per acre,

Some market gardeners risk planting part of their crop five or six
days before the average time of the last frost in the spring, so that if
they are fortunate and miss the frost they will be early on the market.
To afford a regular succession of crops throughout the season, plant every
two weeks after the first planting until mid-summer.

A PORTION OF ONE OF OUR FIELDS OF BOUNTIFUL BEANS

BOUNTIFUL BEANS

One of the favorites with market growers. This is one of the best
beans. The demand for it has grown rapidly and this year, while the
crop in most of the bean growing sections is short, our crop is good, and
we are making you attractive prices on our own grown stocks as long as
they last. Bountiful Beans are of excellent quality. The vines are very
productive: pods long, straight, flat and entirely stringless when ready for
shipping: tender and brittle. Very early and fine for the home garden.
Price — (Pkt. 10c) (1/2 lb. 25c) (lb. 45c) (5 lbs. $1.80) (10 lbs. $3.35). pre¬

HENDERSON’S BUSH LIMA BEANS — FINE QUALITY

LIMA BEANS

Henderson’s Bush Lima

This excellent variety will produce
an abundant crop under a wider range
of weather or soil conditions than any
other Lima, and I urge its planting in
every garden. In the home garden a
small space will produce finest fiavored
Lima Beans for use as soon as they
are large enough to shell, and later
for dry shell beans.

They yield a heavy crop, are a true
bush sort, 18 to 20 inches high, require
no support and are early, coming in weeks ahead of other Limas, and
bearing continually until frost. The beans have the true Lima flavor,
buttery, rich and tender. Trice — (Pkt. 10c) (Vz lb., 20c) (lb., 35c) (5 lbs.,

A FEW WORDS FROM OUR FRIENDS

Hood Hiver, Oregon. — “T have used your seed with great satisfaction.”
Oakdale, Calif. — ‘T grew Zinnias 6 to 8 inches in diameter from your
seed. I never saw so much praise of flowers in my life.”

Bowie, Ariz. — “I feel I owe you a compliment on your ‘Superfecto’
Cantaloupe. They are delicious. Your Super Select tomato seeds are the
best I have ever grown. I plant your seeds with absolute eoufideuee,”

BETTER SEEDS — BETTER CROPS. PLANT BURRELL’S BEST

BEETS— Table

Plant 1 oz. to 100 feet of drill. Six to eight pounds per Acre.

Beets are veiy easily grown and one of the profitable crops for the
market grower. If desirable to be very early, they may be grown in the
hotbed and transplanted, for which purpose I recommend either Crosby's
Egyptian cr Early Wonder.

Prepare your soil by manuring heavily and discing well before plow¬
ing, to make it easier to turn the manure under and to thoroughly mix it
with the soil. Harrow as soon as plowed, making a fine, well-settled
seed bed. It is a great advantage to drag cr fioat the land, as this crushes
all small clods and settles the surface well.

Plant as early in the spring as the weather will permit. Beets will
stand light frosts, but care must be taken, as a heavy frost would de¬
stroy them.

The rows should be 16 to 20 inches apart and the seed planted from
1 to 11/2 inches deep. When the plants have five or six leaves, thin table
beets to 4 to 6 inches apart. Plant 6 to S pounds of table beets per acre.

Table beets may be sown at intervals of four weeks until the latter
part of June to have tender, even sized beets throughout the season from
late summer until winter, the later planting being for siloing to use or
sell during the winter.

We make a specialty of beet seed and sell thousands of pounds each
year.

Early Wonder

In size and shape this beet is
very similar to Early Crosby. Be¬
cause of its very bright color it is
becoming popular on the local mar¬
ket and we think it is destined to
become one of the best market vari¬
eties. It is extremiely early, of good
uniform size, a bright red in color
and with a very small top, which
makes it most suitable for bunch¬

PLANT OUR IMPROVED DETROIT DARK RED TABLE BEET

Improved Detroit Dark Red Beet

Market Growers Note Prices
Are Wholesale in Large
Quantities

This fine, dark red beet
is a leader with me. I rec¬
ommend it for either the
home or market garden. I
also sell large quantities of
it to canning factories, as its
uniform shape and dark red
color make it very well
liked for canning.

If there were only two
varieties of Table Beets, I
would chose either Crosby’s
Egyptian or Early W’onder
for early home garden or
market, and Detroit Dark
Red for late home garden
or market.

The best beet grown for
canners’ use is Detroit Dark
Red.

The tops are small, dark
green shaded with red, the
roots globular, very smooth;
the flesh a deep red, zoned
with a lighter shade of same
color and barely noticeable.
This beet is acknowledged
by the beet seed specialists
throughout the world as the
most uniform in size, shape
and color, and of the high¬
est quality. (10c per oz.)

This very valuable second early sort is a fit
companion to my strain of Crosby’s Egyptian.

The color is darker red, shape just a little more
square shouldered and a little deeper from base
of top to tap root. The leaves are very dark red
and tops small. It is a good beet to grow for
late crop and keeps well when pitted, until late
in the spring. It is beautifully zoned. Will please

The Beet Seed Crop Is Very Short

Though we have a good supply of this seed we believe it will be to
your advantage to order early.

Remember our stocks are very carefully grown and are such as
should please you.

MONEY YIAKERS FOR STOCK3IEN AND POULTRY’MEN

MANGEL WURZEL

This is a very important crop for the Stockman and Poultryman,
as so large a tonnage per acre can be grown on suitable soil and the
food value is so good.

Plant 6 to 8 pounds of seed per acre in rows 24 inches apart; thin
to 12 to 15 inches apart when the plants are 4 to 6 inches tall. Culti¬
vate frequently and keep free of weeds. Begin feeding early in th© fall,
pulling 2 or 3 days supply at a time. Before freezing weather harvest
the remainder of the crop and remove the tops but do not cut the top
of the beets. Pile about a ton in a place and cover with 5 or 6 inches
of earth, leaving a small place on top of the pile open except to cover
with tops (this for ventilation). Later, when colder weather comes, cover¬
all over with* more earth to prevent freezing — or store in a root cellar.

Giant Long Red Mangel-Wurzel

96 tons, 550 pounds per acre

The pile of Mangel-Wurzel shown above grew on one square rod of
ground. They were dug before the crop was matured. They averaged
over 83 tons per acre. Later another square rod from the same field was
harvested and weighed in the presence of two members of the Rotary
Club of Nampa, Idaho, and the -wonderful average yield of 96 tons 550
pounds per acre was made.

These were grown from my seed by J. S. Hulbert of Nampa, Idaho.
At the present price of corn and hay, this crop produced actual feed
value worth mor© than $500.00 per acre. They contain 5 to 7 per cent
sugar and have high feeding value for dairy cows, fattening cattle, hogs,
sheep and poultry. On good soil you should grow 25 to 50 tons per acre.

Seed crop very short. Price — (10c per oz.) (25c per % lb.) (85c per

100 lbs.).

Golden Tankard

Yellowish orange color. Not so long but thicker than Oiant Long Red.
Flesh yellow, zoned with white; grows partly out of the ground; an im¬
mense yielder and preferred by many. Can easily be pulled from th©
ground without plowing loose. Price — (10c per oz.) (25c per lb.) (85c
per lb.) (10 lbs., $6.75) prepaid. Not prepaid, wholesale price — ($60.00
per 100 lbs.).

Giant Half Sugar Rose Top

This is by many considered the greatest beet for feeding stock. It is
richer in sugar than the Mangel-Wurzels and not so rich as sugar beets.
What it lacks in sugar it makes up in tonnage yield per acre, and not
being so sweet is less liable to injure the kidneys when fed in very large
quantities compared with sugar beets. It grows about one-half out of the
ground and is excellent for all kinds of stock.

The shape is about the same as shown in the cut above. Color,
rose above the ground, white below; flesh white, sometimes slightly tinged
with rose. Price — (10c per oz.) (25c per % lb.) (85c per lb.) (10 lbs.,
.$6.75) prepaid. 'WTiolesale price, not prepaid — ($60.00 per 100 lbs.).

Sugar Beet WHite Klein Wanzleben

This variety is best liked and most extensively planted for sugar
factories. They usually test 15 to 18 per cent sugar and produce 12 to
25 tons per acre. They are very valuable for feeding stock, but I would
recommend feeding them with stock beets, listed above, about half of
each, as the Sugar Beets alone are too rich in sugar. Price- — (10c per oz.).

A NEW PROFIT ABLt: CHOP IPOR THE PRODUCE GROWER

Broccoli — Sprouting

An entirely different and distinct vegetable long a favorite in Europe
but recently introduced in this country. The plants branch freely and each
branch terminates in a head or bud cluster. The central heads are cut
first and as the side shoots develop they are cut with about six inches
of stem and usually bunched for market much like Asparagus. Frequently
as many as five or six cuttings may be made from one plant, hence its
name “Sprouting.” Can be cooked for about twenty minutes and served
in the same way as asparagus. Is also good served hot or cold as a salad.

Culture much the same as cauliflower, although much more easily
and successfully grown in the northern states than cauliflower. The center
head is usually ready for cutting in about ninety days from planting seed.

(The True Calabrian Strain)

Green Sprouting Broccoli. This is domestic grown seed and the result
of several years of careful selection. You will And this to be very superior

stock. Price — (10c per pkt.) (30c per oz.) (95c per oz.) (.$3.00 per ^ lb.)
($11.00 per lb.) (10 lbs or over, $10.00 per lb.).

Cauliflower — Broccoli

Central California has long used hardy varieties of Winter Cauliflower
or Cauliflower Broccoli. The Arm white heads are like Cauliflower and
indeed the product is sold on all markets as Cauliflower. It is, however,
much slower in reaching maturity, requiring two months or more time
than Cauliflower. The leaves are large and grow over the head in such

a way that tying is unnecessary.

Culture. See Cauliflower. . , . , i

Morse’s February Broccoli. A compact blue-green plant with abundant

CARKOT8 AKP. IX GREAT DEMAND ON ALE PRODUCE MARKETS

CARROTS

Sow 2 to 3 lbs. of seed per acre. Rows 14 to 20 inches apart.

Culture. — Any good soil is suitable, manure it well, plow deep and pre¬
pare the seed bed as for beets. It is a good plan to plant a few radish
seed with the carrot, as carrot starts slowly and the radish mark the
rows so they can be cultivated before the carrots come up. Plant rows
same distance apart as beets and thin to about 4 inches apart in the row,
or if from 2 to 4 inches apart, they need not be thinned. Cover about 1
inch deep. Cultivate often and thoroughly. Sowing may be made as early
in the spring as the soil can be put in good condition, or up to June 15
to 20.

Chantenay Half Long

This excellent sort is well illustrated in above cut made from a photo¬
graph of a sample produced from my seed. The roots average about 6
inches in length, shaped as shown in cut, deep orange color, smooth, flesh
very tender and hrst-class in every way; medium early; one of the best
for market or home garden. It is very productive and easily harvested.

CABBAGE

1 Oz. of Seed to 3,000 Plants, % Lb. per Acre.

We Sell Thousands of Pounds

CULTURE: Cabbage is grown all over the country and special direc¬
tions regarding the time and methods of planting applicable to all localities
cannot be given. In general north of the 40th parallel the early sorts
should be sown very early in hot beds, hardening off gradually by expos¬
ing them, to the night air and transplanting as early as hard freezing
weather is over, setting 18 to 36 inches apart, according to the size and
variety. South of the 40th parallel sow about the middle of September
or later, according to the latitude, transplanting to cold frames if neces¬
sary, to keep through winter and setting in open ground as early as possible
in the spring. It is important that the plants should not be shaded or
crowded in the seed bed, or they will run up weak and slender and will
not stand transplanting well. Cabbage should be hoed every w'eek and
the ground stirred as they advance in growth, throwing up a little earth
to the plants until they begin to head, when they should be thoroughly
cultivated and left to mature. Loosening the roots will sometimes retard
the bursting of the full grown heads. To destroy root maggots, pour a
small quantity of a solution made of one ounce of corrosive sublimate to
10 gallons of water at the base of the plant. Be very careful as this
solution is deadly poison. For aphis dust with Aphicide No. 10. To
destroy cabbage worms dust with Aphicide No. 26. Dusting should be
thorough, early in the season and should never be done within a couple
of weeks before cutting heads for use.

The D. V. B. Cabbage

Another year has proven the great value of this extra early, round,
solid-headed Cabbage.

It is reported by large numbers of my customers to be the finest Extra
Early .Cabbage they ever saw.

The demand has grown very large for this seed. Market gardeners
will find this a big money-maker and it should be in every home garden.

If you think you have the finest early Cabbage, plant this beside it
and compare results.

It is earlier than Jersey Wakefield; produces 4 to 6-pound round solid
heads, which are just the right size to sell Avell. Be sure to order some
of this. Price— '(10c per pkt.) (20c per % oz.) (50c per oz.) ($1.40' per

Early Cabbage Copenhagen

Market

This cabbage is of very great merit, being as early as Charleston
Wakefield and having the round, solid head of the Danish Ballhead. Every
cabbage grower should plant some of it. This may prove to be the variety
that will be a big moneymaker for you. The introducer says: “It is
undoubtedly wifftiout a rival as the finest large roundheaded early cab¬
bage in cultivation.”

The heads average 8 to 10 pounds each, very solid, with small core and
very fine quality. The plant is short-stemmed, the heads being produced
very near the ground level. The leaves are closely folded and few outer
leaves. The plants may be set closer than ordinary cabbage will permit.

This sort is well known and market gardeners plant it very exten¬
sively.

Enkhuisen Glory Cabbage

This sort originated near the shores of Zuyder Zee in Holland.

It is large, early, white, solid. The originators have this to say:

“Amongst many sorts of white cabbage, none of them combines these
two desirable qualities of being early and large so well as the aforesaid
sort. We can recommend this as a really early one t coming as early as
the Early Dutch Plat), but at the same time making fine, large, ball¬
shaped heads, particularly atractive for market purposes.

suitable to use when the heads weigh 6 or 8
pounds and continue first-class until they weigh
12 to 15 pounds. Then they stand a long time
without bursting when many other sorts would
burst open and spoil. It ma.v well be called
All-Seasons. The heads are large and solid,

DON’T OVERLOOK OTJR YELLOW VALENCIA ONION SEED

1 OZ. OF seed to 3,000 PLANTS

Very few crops yield as good returns as Cauliflower when properly
grown. The main requisites for success are more or less flat, very rich,
medium to heavy soil; abundant moisture; cool weather during heading
season; freedom from worms and other pests that eat the leaves so they
cannot be tied over the curd properly protecting it from the sun; and
above all good seed.

Cauliflower requires more care in growing than most crops. It is
therefore advisable to go slow at first until experienced in growing. As the
heads form best in cool weather the seed should be sown very early in
the spring and transplanted to open ground when danger of hard freez¬
ing is over. Six to eight weeks from seed is the best age for this.
Rows may be two and one-half to three and one-half feet apart and
plants 18 inches to 3 feet in the row, depending on the variety. Here at
Rocky Ford seed is soAvn in seed beds about April fifteenth and trans¬
planted during June. This allows the heads to form during the cool fall
months. Irrigate often and force the growth of large leaves to protect
the heads from the sun; do not oversoak and kill the ground. Dust often
and thoroughly. We believe this is where most growers fail. Worms and
aphis must not be allowed to destroy the leaves and the marketing of
filth-covered heads is unprofitable, to say the least.

We recommend Aphicide No. 26 for destroying the worms. This dust
is manufactured especially for the control of worms on Cauliflower, Cab¬
bage and Broccoli, and cloes not use dehydrated lime for a carrier. In
fact the special carrier is edible and worms eat it readily. This dust
is poisonous and must not be used after heads start to form. Dust thor¬
oughly four or five times during the growing season and no trouble should
be experienced. Salt water spray may be used after heading starts. See
Cabbage cultural instructions for control of root maggots and aphis.

When the heads are about 2 inches across (in most cases) tie up the
leaves, using different colored strings each day. This will aid in cutting.
Cauliflower should be packed tightly in the crates; too loose packing’ will
result in damaged heads during shipping. Crates are loaded upside down
so that the Cauliflower will shed water from the melting ice, as top icing
is necessary in shipping.

As to seed. We handle nothing but the best obtainable. European
grown. One pound of seed will grow plants for about seven acres.

Super Snowball Cauliflower

This Snowball is healthier
and more vigorous than any of
the old stocks. It is strongly
resistant to reverse weather
conditions as well as diseases.
It yields a higher grade prod¬
uct under contrary conditions
than ordinary strains. It starts
to head throughout the field
practically all at the same
time and makes this uniform
start as early as other strains
make their limited one. The
head is perfectly protected by
leaves until it reaches a size
of fully five inches in diam¬
eter, when only it needs to be
tied up. If growing conditions
be favorable, the head will at¬
tain marketable size in a few
days’ time. If left standing,
head will soon attain a size of
10 inches across. Harvest of
the crop ordinarily is com¬
pleted after only four months
from the time the seed is
sown. The head is exception¬
ally high with curds standing
out in high relief and it is
pure white. The foliage is
plentiful, a typical dark green
color. The leaf is large, some¬
what crumpled, and the blade
is continuous, reaching to
base of midrib. A consider¬
able portion of the labor bill
usually necessary for tying up
heads can be saved by using
this variety, as the crop matures with such uniformity that the entire
acreage is cut when one-half or more of the crop of some other strains
is still standing. It is necessary to make a succession of plantings if har¬
vest is desired over a considerable period of time. Price — (25c per pkt.)

THOl .SANDS OF SLCCBSSFIJL PJLANTERS DEPEND UPON OUR SEED

CELERY

Celery requires' an abundance of moisture at all stages of growth but
will not endure flooding for any length of time. Seed is sown from
February to May in beds either drilletl or broadcast. The seed must be
planted very shallow, is slow to germinate and the beds must be kept
wet. The beds may be covered with burlap sacks until the, plants begin
to come to the surface, when the sacks must be removed at once. The
.'^eedlings will be ruined if the sacks are left on even one day too long.
After the seedlings are well started, they may be transplanted or thinned
out to give them room to make stocky plants. If broadcasted two or
three inches each way or if in drills one inch apart in six-inch rows will
give strong plants. Usually three months will be required for seed to
produce a plant ready to transplant into the field. Celery plants are
usually set in the field about 7 inches apart in rows three or three and
one-half feet apart. Frequent cultivation and irrigation is necessary, an
abundance of fertilizer must be used unless the soil i.s exceptionally rich.
As the plants approach maturity they must be blanched by hilling with
earth or with boards or special blanching paper. Late celery should be
trenched at the approach of freezing weather. They are taken up and
set out compactly in a narrow trench, the bottom of which has been
moistened just enough for the roots to keep the plants from wilting.
Should the plants begin to wilt, water the roots without wetting the
stalks or leaves. Keep temperature above the freezing point and the
stalks will gradually blanch. They may be used during the winter.

THIRTY YEARS OF CONTINX^OUS EFFORT HAS PUT DEPENDABLE

QUALITY INTO OUR SEED

The above photograph was sent to us from one of our cus¬
tomers, who advises he was well pleased with the seed.

Easy Blanching Celery

This variety is rapidly becoming one of the most popular sorts
because it blanches so easily, grows so vigorously and produces
well shaped plants of medium size and fine nutty fiavor.

Easy blanching may be classed as very early because it
blanches so quickly that it may be had for very early use just
a week or two after being trenched or banked. It is also an extra
long keeper and desirable for late market. Easy blanching be¬
cause it keeps so w^ell and grows so vigorously, produces a seed
crop at much less cost than Golden Self Blanching, hence the
price is much lower. Price — (10c per pkt.) (2Sc per oz.) (^1.00 per
■(4 lb.) (Jgil.oO per lb.) (10 lbs. §30.00) prepaid. Wholesale price,
not prepaid (23 lb. lots and up .§2.70 per lb.)

Giant Pascal Celery

This is one of .the most popular varieties for winter use. It
is a very good keeper and properly stored can be kept until late
in the winter or even until spring.

Giant Pascal is of vigorous growth, making large, heavy,
thick stalks which remain green until blanched by some artificial
means, either by earthing or storing for the winter.

It blanches to a creamy yellow when the stalks are quite
brittle, entirely stringless and very crisp.

I have sold large lots of this seed to market growers, who
report excellent results.

NOW — ALL TOGETHER — LET’S KILL THli^ mTGS — USE APHICIDE

Aphicide No. lO Kills Aphis

On melons, cucumbers, watermelons, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and
peas. In fact, any resistant aphis is readily killed by the use of this power¬
ful nicotine dust. Aphicide No. 10 contains 10 per cent Black Leaf 40 in
a special carrier which will not burn the leaves. Price — (5 lbs., $2.00)
(10 2-lb. cans, $7.50) (25-lb. cans, $6.50 each) prepaid by express. Not
iwepaid (lOO lbs., $22.40).

Aphicide No. 6 Kills Aphis

And is intended for use in power dusters. It is the same dust as No.
10 and has the same uses except that it contains 6 per cent of Black Leaf

4 0. Price — (5 lbs., $1.65) (10 2-lb. cans for $6.00) (25-lb. cans, $5.25 each)
IM'epaid by express. Not prepaid (100 lbs., $15.65).

Aphicide No. 2 Kills Cherry

Slugs

Which are so destructive to cherry trees. Contains 2 per cent of Black
Leaf 40. Price — (5 lbs., $1.25) (10 2-lb. cans, $4.50) (25-lb. cans, $4.00 each)
prepaid by express. Not prepaid (100 lbs., $8.80).

Aphicide No. 1 5 Kills Black
Squash Bugs

This is the strongest nicotine dust yet offered and it kills practically
all the old squash bugs and easily exterminates all young squash bugs when
properly applied. Price — (5 lbs., .$2.50) (25-lb. can, $8.00) prepaid by ex¬
press. Not prepaid (100 lbs., $30.90).

Aphicide No. 21 Kills Both

Sucking and Eating Insects

It is especially recommended for control of striped cucumber beetles,
potato beetles, apple worms, army worms, flea beetles and leaf hoppers.
Will also kill aphis. Price — (5 lbs., $1.70) (25-lb. can, $7.50) prepaid by

express. Not prepaid (100 lbs., $26.40).

Aphicide No. 26 Kills Worms

On cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli. This dust contains arsenic and
is quite poisonous. The carrier is edible and worms eat it readily instead
of shunning it as they do hydrated lime if used for carrier. Price — (5 lbs.,
$1.25) (10 2-lb. cans, $4.50) (25-lb. can, $4.00) prepaid by express. Not
prepaid (100 lbs.. $7.50).

CAUTION — Bo not accept any substitute for Aphicide. Many are offer¬
ing nicotine dust made with ordinary hydrated lime as a carrier. This is
apt to burn the plants and in many cases causes the crop to be two or
three weeks late and greatly reduces the yield.

Please Note Aphicide Cannot

Be Mailed

Aphicide (reg. U. S. Patent Office) is made by a special process using
a combination carrier which not only does not burn the plants, but carries
the nicotine in the best possible form to kill the insects. Try Aphicide
and compare the results with what you have been using and you will
quickly see the difference. Be thorough. Do the work right or don’t do it.
If you leave part of the infested plants without dusting, the aphids will
quickly spreau to the whole field. Aphids reproduce so rapidly that with
90 per cent results the original number are back in two days; 95 per cent
results and the original number are back in four days; 98 per cent killed
and you have a new crop as large as ever in eight days. The only suc¬
cessful way is to kill practically 100 per cent. Aphicide did this last year.
Stake every plant you find aphis on and blow Aphicide No. 10 up against
the under side of the leaves. Be very thorough. Dust all the plants within
thirty feet of the infested plant. GO back the next day and see if all aphis
are killed. If you find any live aphis dust them. Go over your fields every
few days looking for aphis and other insects. Dust them with Aphicide
as soon as found. Get a supply of Aphicide with your seed order and kill
the bugs from the start. Get your neighbors to go in with yoU apfl order
large Jots,

IT IS JUST AS IMPORTANT TO KILU THE BUGS AS THE WEEDS

Dusting Machines

The results obtained from Aphicide depend largely upon the thorough¬
ness of the application. A dusting machine which blows the APHICIDE
with such force that it forms a SMOKY DU'ST will reach practically all
the insects and kill much better than where the dust falls more or less
in bunches. It is the dust and gas covering the insect’s body that kills.

The above illustration shows how APHICIDE is applied with the
California Beauty Duster. We recommend this type for dusting vine
crops of 5 acres or more. Price, $13.50 delivered, parcel post.

Peerless Dust Gun

This duster is the most
comfortable to carry and
use of any of the large
sized fan dusters. It is
balanced, the hopper con¬
taining the dust hangs on
the back, while the fan
hangs to the front and
the weight is supported by
straps thrown over the

Cucumber Seed

A fine field of Burrell’s Cucumbers ready fo thresh

This special item has had my careful study covering the past thirty
years, during which time I have grown many thousand acres of cucumbers
for seed, producing and selling about ten million pounds of seed.

I come to you for your orders for this seed, knouiiig what I have to
offer is of the best produced. Will quote si)e<*ial wholesale prices on 1,000
lbs. and up.

1 started the growing of cucuml^er seed here, and the results from
my seed have been such that a very large portion of the cucumber seed of
the United States is now grown here (over ninety per cent).

Each year I exercise great care to produce such seeds as will keep up
this reputation. This requii’es carefully selected stock seeds. Soil which
has not the year previous produced cucumbers, so that volunteers may be
avoided; isolation from fields of other varieties; careful attention during
the growing season that all off plants be destroyed; skill in harvesting,
threshing, washing, curing, cleaning and testing the seed, that the best
possible citality and germrination nray be procured.

My constant atterrtion to the.se points is your assurance that the seed
which I offer is worihy your ccmficlence. No order too small and large
orders of from 1,000 to 10,000 pounds very frequently received. All orders
given my very best attention.

Culture. — Cucumbers thrive best in a very rich, loamy soil, not contain¬
ing too much sand. A rather heavy soil is preferable to sandy soil. The
most successful growers fertilize heavily with barnyard manure, scattered
evenly over the surface 2 to 3 inches deep, disced thoroughly, then plowed
under to depth of 6 to 8 inches, then thoroughly harrowed and floated.
This gives an excellent seed bed.

You can now plant with your garden drill rows 4 feet apart, drilling in
about 3 pounds of seed per acre, covering the seed about 1 inch in depth.
You can follow the drill mark and cultivate before the plants come up.
Cultivate often. When the plants have four to six leaves thin to one plant
every 18 inches. Keep the cultivator going as long as you can get through
the rows. If under irrigation, water once a week lightly and always culti¬
vate between irrigations until the crop is laid by. Keep the cucumbers
picked off as fast as they reach the size desired, as if any are allowed to
ripen the plants cease to set on more fruit.

If bothered by the striped cucumber beetle or aphis, dust with Aphi-
oide. See page 22 for information and prices. This is a great help for
all gardeners.

Be careful not to put too much lime or ashes on the plants, as this
will injure them. Keep them growing rapidly and insects have less chance
to damage them.

In picking to ship for slicing it is a good plan to divide the field into
thirds and pick one-third each day. If under irrigation, lay off the lands
in short rows and run the water along the rows very lightly after each
picking.

Always cut off the cucumbers and handle very carefully. Do not ship
any culls. Throw them away and ship only the first-class specimens. They
look so much better — the demand is kept up — the consumer is willing to
pay a better price. There is less express and package expense and your
reputation for a first-class pack is kept up to the advantage of your bank
account.

When the market is high many are tempted to ship seconds. Don’t
do it; keep the market up with quality.

I want to call your especial attention to Burrell’s Earliest of All,
Burrell’s Klondike, Early Fortune, Stays Green, and Clarks Special Cu¬
cumbers. These five sorts are now more extensively planted by critical
market growers than any other. They have been the means of a profit¬
able business for thousands of growers. Some report from $300 to $1,200

acre. The Vaughan and The Deltus are two very fine new additions
and every planter should grow some of them. They may prove to be
your biggest profit makers.

PI.ANT BURRELL’S OlTUMBER SEEDS

Burrell’s Earliest of All
Cucumbers

You know for thirty years we have been growing cucumber seeds and
all this time we have been carefully selecting to produce The Best. By
holding closely to a high ideal I have established this type until it is
recognized as the best in its class.

Color. — Very dark green and remaining green until almost fully
ripened, when it becomes a greenish-white.

Size. — As a sheer seven to eight inches long — very uniform and square
ended — a beautiful cucumber.

The flesh is pearly white, crisp and the quality as a sheer unexcelled.

Earliness. — In a check with all varieties, Burrell’s Earliest of All
has proven worthy of its name and IMarket Growers who tind earliness
a big item are getting big returns from this sort.

We have grown over ten million pounds of cucumber seeds during the
past thirty years and this sort has always averaged one of the heaviest
yielders.

For Pickling. — The small pickles are excellent for bottle goods and
the larger ones either for soui- pickles or Dills. Large pickle packers pur¬
chase about twenty thousand pounds of seed from us each year for
growing pickles.

To Market Growers who plant to ship as slicers: Plant this sort
extensively if extreme earliness and the qualities listed above are what
you want. No matter what sort you have been planting, plant part of
your acreage to this and compare results.

Burrell’s Earliest of
All Cucumber

Best All Purpose
Cucumber Grown

This variety has been planted by
market growers from Florida to Cali¬
fornia and has proven the biggest money
maker grown. It is not only the ear¬
liest, best flavored, best colored slicer,
but it is the best for pickles from small
bottle goods to dills^

We sell thousands of pounds of Bur¬
rell’s Earliest of All Cucumber Seed to
Florida planters, who report it the best
they can get.

Early Fortune Cucumber

• This is one of the finest slicers and a

throughout the South and Central states.

My stock is very fine. Illustrated above

cumbers. I grow a large acreage of this
variety and I am making you very close
prices. You cannot get better stock of
Early Fortune.

The fruits are about 8 inches long as
slicers, very dark green, uniform in shape
and size, and of good quality. The vines
are vigorous and produce a heavy crop.

Why I do not put out an
Expensive Catalog

Here is a little plain talk which inter¬
ests you. Anything which saves you
money but does not cut down quality in¬
terests every seed buyer.

Suppose I get an order from every five
catalogs, and my catalog costs 25c each —
there is $1.25 to add to each order to cover
catalog cost. Now if the catalog costs
only 5c each and I get an order from
every fifth catalog, the catalog cost per
order is only 25c and if I get an order
for every catalog, the catalog cost per
order is only 5c.

The consumer always pays the bill or
the business goes broke. Now, I believe
you would rather I would not put out an
expensive catalog, but make the descrip¬
tions plain and accurate and give you all
the seed of the best quality I can for your
money. That is what I am doing, and the
many thousands of orders I am getting
proves to me that you appreciate it. The
more orders you send in this year the bet¬
ter prices I will be able to make you next
year. I want you to feel that D. V.
Burrell’s seed business is conducted for
your interests as well as my own.

Help make it an order for each catalog
this year, and I promise you my best care
that the seed stocks will be right.

I want it to be said that the quality of
my seeds and the price, but quality first,
brought my customers from all over the
world and kept them.

Yours truly,

D. V. BURRELL.

COMPARE OUR 8TOCK OF THE VAUGHAN CUCUMBER WITH STOCKS
OFFERED AS “STRAIGHT PACK,” “LONGFELLOW.” “WINDERMOOR

WONDER,” ETC.

THE VAUGHAN CUCUMBER

Is one of the finest cucumbers for slicing. The long, slender, dark
green fruits, often 10 to 12 inches long, as slicers are very attractive
and what is more the quality is not surpassed. This cucumber is the result
of a cross between an English Forcing variety and Davis Perfect. It
retains the best qualities of each.

We recommend The Vaughan Cucumber for both hot house and out¬
door growing, but for outdoor growing very rich soil should be selected
and thorough cultivation with plenty of rain or irrigation is necessary
to get the best results.

The Vaughan Cucumber is similar to sorts listed as “Straight Pack”
and “Windermoor Wonder.”

We have been selecting the finest for Stock Seeds for several years and
offer you seeds of such high quality as we believe are surpassed by none.
Prices — (10c per pkt.) (20c per oz.) ((iOc per % lb.) (Jp2.00 per lb.) (5 lbs.,
ijty.OO) (10 lbs., $17.00), prepaid. Wholesale price, not prepaid — ($1.50 per
lb. in 100-lb. lots).

The above photograph of Deltus Cucumber was taken late in the
season and most of the fruits on this hill had fully matured. Notice how
well they held their dark green color.

THE DELTUS CUCUMBER

This fine new sort is one of the best slicers ever introduced. We have
Deen growing Deltus for several years and built up a large trade on
it for both hot house and outdoor planting.

]Many Hot House Growers saj^ it is the best they have grown, and
they will plant Deltus exclusively. The fruits are very dark green marked
like the white spine sorts at the blossom end, but differing in that the
skin is smooth. There is no darker green sort.

The flesh is ivory white, very deep, and of excellent quality. Very
few seeds are produced and these are slow to form, so that as a sheer
it will command high prices on the markets.

The fruits are very uniform in shape and size and bear in great
abundance. You know where less seed is produced more cucumbers re¬
sult, as the strength of the vine goes to produce cucumbers instead of
seed. Length 10 inches as slicers.

We grew an excellent crop this year. Price — (10c per pkt.) (20c per
oz.) (60c per % lb.) ($2.00 per lb.) (5 lbs., $9.00) (10 lbs., $17.00), pre¬

We can also supply Special Hot House Stock saved from ideal speci¬
mens. Price — (35c per pkt.) ($1,25 per oz.) ($4.00 per ^ lb.) ($15.00 per

GROWING BETTER CUCUMBER SEED FOR THIRTY YEARS

Clarks Special Cucumber

Thte sort is between Early For¬
tune and Davis Perfect in size. The
photo reproduced here is of a
typical fruit.

My stock was grown from the
introducer’s stock and is very good.

The fruits as slicers are very
uniform in size, 8 to 9 inches long,
slightly tapered at both ends, very
attractive dark green color and ex¬
cellent quality.

The demand for Clark’s Special

Cucumber, Stays Green

Resembles Earliest of All but not as uniform. Fruits are dark g^reen,
medium size and of the white spine class. They retain their fine color
for a remarkably long time and on that account have become quite popu¬
lar with Southern shippers. A large part of the cucumber seed in the
U. S. is grown here at Rocky Ford and from our observations we have
found no stocks superior to ours. Price — (5c per pkt.) (10c per oz.) (30c

Lemon Cucumber

This is a favorite with many for use in salads as it never becomes
bitter, the fruits are 2 to 2% inches in diameter and much the shape and
color of a lemon. Vines are vigorous and very productive. We have
only a limited amount of seed to offer. Price — (5c per pkt.) (20c per

Green

Ctiouinber

Our stock of this sort is very fine. The
long-, dark green cucumbers when suitable
for slicing are 10 to 12 inches long, crisp
and of the finest quality. This is a very
heavy yielder and not to be compared with
the ordinary Dong Green as it is a great
improvement on that sort.

The matured fruits are often 15
to 18 inches long. This
is a heavy yielder and
for those growers whose
market calls for an
extra long sort it will
prove very profitable.

Hardy English W alnut T rees

There are orchards of Hardy English walnut trees
growing in New York State, which have grown and borne
good crops for many years. These nuts have soft shells
which can be broken with the hand pressing two nuts to¬
gether. The quality is excellent.

We have found them the best flavored we have ever
eaten. If your climate is not colder than fifteen to twenty
below zero at the coldest, you ought to be able to grow
these fine nUts. We have trees to offer. Height 18 to 24
inches at $2.00 each, 10 or more $1.75 each. Height 12 to 18
inches at .$1.50 each, 10 or more, $1.25 each, postpaid.

These grow to be beautiful shade trees and no doubt
you would like to grow a few in your yard.

“AS GOOD A.S GROW FOR YOU TO SOW”— MY MOTTO

SWEET CORN

1 lb. to 400 Hills, 12 lbs. per acre.
Nothing much better than roastiiig
ears fresh from your own garden.

CountryGentlemen

This variety produces iong shoe peg
kernels without rows. It is the sweetest
of the sweet corns and no finer roasting
ear is grown.

Having no rows, it is an excellent sort
to grow where worms bother the ears, as
instead of following a row into the centei-
of the ear, thus spoiling it, they have no
row to follow, and instead work around
the end of the ear, which can be cut off,
leaving the balance of the ear suita'ble for
use. I’riee postpaid — (lOe ]>kt.) (30c per

Not prepjiid, 15c per lb.

StowelFs Evergreen Sweet Corn

This is the leading standard variety for home use, market
and canning. Our stock is most carefully selected and can be de¬
pended upon to produce fine large ears of superior quality. The
stalks are of strong growth, each producing two large ears. The
grains, while of good size, are long and slender, the cob being
small. The grains are of rich, sugary flavor and retain their fine
quality until quite advanced. Our stock is entirely free from glaze
or ilintiness'; the dried grains are much shriveled. Price — (10c
per pkt.) (3()c per lb.) (25c per lb. in 10-lb. lots) prepaid; 15c per
lb. not prepaid.

Nothing can take the place of ROASTINCr EARS in
their season. Don’t fail to can a lot of Sweet Corn and here
I want to say that for our home canning we tie to Golden
Bantam. Good! I’ll say it is. I am not greedy, but as with
new Peas, so with Green Corn. I LIKE A LOT.— D. V.

Golden Bantam

GOLDEN
BANTAM
SWEET CORN

This variety matures very early —
60 to 70 days, depending upon climate.
This is one of the sweetest corns; the
stalks grow from 4 to 5 feet and pro¬
duce two to three ears to the stalk.
The ears are eight-rowed and whether
eaten from the cob or canned the qual¬
ity is excellent. Our stock retains the
original high quality which has made
Golden Bantam a favorite all over the
country. Price— (lOe per pkt.) (JJSe per

‘‘Best in the Neigbor-
hood”

Owensboro, Ky.

“I planted your Improved Kleckley
Sweet Watermelon stock seed last year
and they were the best in the neigh¬
borhood.”

Bantam Evergreen

This variety is considered by many the sweetest and best of
the Sweet Corns. It has the color and quality of Golden Bantam,
but the ears are longer and have twelve to fourteen rows. A
valuable sort for market growers owing to the combination of
highest quality and desirable size. This sort originated in New
England, a cross between Golden Bantam and Stowell’s Ever¬
green. Price— (Ibe per pkt.) (40e per lb.) (10 lbs., 30c per lb.)
postpaid. Not prepaid (23c per lb.).

Early Sunshine

During the past few years a good many varieties of the
Golden Bantam type have been introduced, but Early Sunshine
is without doubt one of the best of them all. This is a cross
between the English variety Sunrise and the Golden Bantam
developed by Prof. A. F. Yeager of the North Dakota Agricultural
College. It is some earlier than Golden Bantam and is twelve
rowed instead of eight. Its rich golden color appeals to the eye.
Sweetness and tenderness are among its other good points and
the grains remain succulent longer than nearly any other variety.

I am sure if you plant part of your garden to this you will
be so well pleased with the results that you will want to renew
its acquaintance each year. Price— (10c per pkt.) (35c per Ib.)
(10 lbs., 30c per Ib.) postpaid. Not prepaid (20c per lb.).

DON’T FAIL TO PLANT BURRELL’S SUPER SELECT BONNY BEST

POP CORN

Australian Hulless

Also called Japanese Hulless

The Australian Hulless is a dwarf growing, heavy yielding variety:
the ears are very thick in proportion to their length. The kernels resemble
the best White Rice and pop larger and without hull. The flavor is
excellent. The market call for this variety at much higher prices than
the old varieties of pop corn. This is a good sort to plant. Price — (IPc
per pkt.) (30c per lb.) (28c per lb. in 10-lb. lots) postpaid. Not prepaid
(20c per pound).

New Golden Hulless

This new sort is the same in size and shape as Australian Hulless but
the kernels are a rich golden color which gives the popped corn the ap¬
pearance of being buttered.

We grew a considerable acreage and find it a very vigorous grower
and a valuable sort. Price — (10c per pkt.) (30c per lb.) (28c per lb. in
10-lb. lots) prepaid. Not prepaid (20c per lb.).

Queen’s Golden Pop Corn

This is the largest sort and produces abundantly. The grains are a
rich golden color, and are creamy white when popped, and a single kernel
will expand to nearly an inch. Price" — (10c per pkt.) (25c per lb.) (20c
per lb. in 10-lb. lots) prepaid. Not prepaid (10c per lb.).

Tlie Australian Hulless and Golden Hulless are grown on our own farms
and we recommend them to you as being e.vtra good.

HOT DAYS, COLD NIGHTS, GIVE OUR SEEDS STRONG VITALITY

EGG PLANT

The Egg Plant should be more generally grown, for when well grown
and properly cooked is a most delicious vegetable. The seeds germinate
slowly and should be started in a strong, uniform heat, and kept con¬
stantly growing, because the young plants seldom recover if checked in
their growth. Sow seeds in hot beds or warm greenhouse in March or
early April; if no hot bed is at hand they may be grown in any light
room where the temperature will average 75 degrees. When plants have
formed two rough leaves, transplant them in beds 3 or 4 inches apart.
Keep the bed closed and very warm, shading from the direct rays of
the sun, giving an abundance of water until the ground is warm and
all danger from frosts and cold nights is past, then harden the plants by
gradual exposure to the sun and air, then increase the supply of water;
transplant to the open ground late in May or June into warm, rich soil,
2 or 3 feet apart each way, according to the richness of the soil. When
about a foot high draw the earth up to the stems. Care should be used
in cutting the fruit so as not to disturb the roots of the plants. One
ounce for 2,000 plants; 4 ounces for one acre.

Burrell’s Special Gardener’s Stock New
York Improved Spineless Egg Plant

i\ly seed of this fine variety of egg plant has been selected for many
years to a certain type until it is as fine as can be purchased from any
source. The finest specimens from the most productive plants have been
selected for stock seeds each year. The fruits are shaped as shown in
cut and under favorable conditions measure 6 to 8 inches in diameter. The
skin is a handsome, dark purple, flesh white, quality excellent. Market
growers who plant largely will find this very desirable. Price — (10c per
pkt.) (40c per oz.) ($>1.20 per lb.) (^.50 per lb.) postpaid.

RLACK BEAUTY. Large, rich, dark purple fruits, very uniform.
Early and desirable for market. Price — (10c per pkt.) (40c per oz.) ($1.20

DILL

Dill is used extensively by Pickle Packers in putting up Dill Pickles.
This plant is easily grown and should be in many more gardens than has
been heretofore. Price — (10c per pkt.) (15c i>er oz.) (30c per % lb.) (80c

ABOUT 1^,000 ACKEM Ol’ NEW YOKK SFECIAE WAS GROWN IN
COEOKABO THIS YEAR AND SHIPPED AS MOUNTAIN ICEBERG

Plant one-fourth ounce to 100 feet of drill three pounds per acre.
For Early out doors culture in latitudes where winters are not too severe,
seed may be planted in the fall and the young plants protected from
freezing with either frames or coarse litter which should be removed as
soon as danger of freezing is over. Lettuce in ground out of doors will
stand freezing but is killed by prolonged frosts or frequent freezing and
thawing. Where winters are severe an early crop may be started under
glass from January to March, plants hardened off well before setting in
the ground which should be done as early as the weather will permit.

Soil should be rich or friable; for lettuce to be at its best it must
grow rapidly. For general crop sow out of doors as early in the spring
as the ground can be worked in drills 18 inches apart and thin the head¬
ing varieties to to 15 inches apart. Loose leaf varieties should stand
fully 6 inches apart, the thinning being done slowly, except in large fields,
and stich plants w'hep removed may be used as a salad.

New York Special or Los Angeles Market Lettuce

This is the variety grown extensively in California, Colorado, Idaho
and other western states for shipping east. About twelve thousand acresi
of this variety as Mountain Iceberg' were grown in Colorado this year.
Early shipments are from California, while August, September and October
shipments are from the mountains of Colorado and Idaho. Many points
in the East grow head lettuce successfully for the market in early summer
and southern points for the winter market.

Our sales of this seed extend over the entire country. Whether you
grow for market or home use, do not fail to plant New York Special
Lettuce.

Description; New York Special or Los Angeles Market Lettuce grows
large heads, often weighing 2 to 3 pounds, very solid heading. The outer
leaves are an attractive green, broad and frilled at the edges. The inner
leaves fold over the top, forming a large, compact head which is sweet
and tender.

Price^ — (10c per pkt.) (25c per oz.) (75c per % lb.) ($2.25 per lb.)
(10 lbs. $19.10) prepaid. IVliolesale price, not prepaid— (50 lb. lots and
up $1.80 per lb.).

Some growers prefer old seed and Ave have a few hundred pounds
tested seed 1925 crop to offer at the same price as above. Many growers
who have planted New York Special Lettuce grown by Pieters-Wheeler
or Morse, prefer these stocks and for these I have arranged to have their
selected stock put up in sealed bags. I offer these as follows: (P. W. put
up in 1-lb. original sealed bags $2.50 per lb.) (Morse groAvn put up in
5-lb. original sealed bags at $12.50 i)er 5 lbs.).

New York No. 12 Lettuce

This is an improved type of New York, is much earlier, makes large
solid heads uniform in maturing and of the flat head type. Has been
known to produce better than 80 per cent cut of No. 1 heads inside of
65 days of planting. On account of this extreme earliness this lettuce
may be planted very early in the spring and head during cool Aveather
Avhile later varieties would come on during the- Avarm summer months
and Avould not make good heads. Price — (10c per pkt.) (3.5c per oz.)
($1.00 per 1/4 lb.) ($3.50 per lb.) (10 lbs. $30.00) prepaid.

’.VK HIGHLY PRIZK YOUB GOOD WILL

CANTALOUPES

Plant one pound per acre in hills, two to three pounds per acre in drills.

Thirty years ago the total number of cars of cantaloupes marketed
throughout the United States probably did not exceed 100 cars. The busi¬
ness was then in its infancy. Today it has grown to giant proportions
and the value of the crop throughout the United States represents a gross
of nearly Fifty Million Dollars, and if the value of the muskmelon crops
of both home and market gardens is added the total gross value would
reach far greater proportions.

Different sections of the country produce certain varieties to better ^
advantage than others.

The varieties most in demand for 1929 planting were for the Imperial
Valley of California: “Superfecto,” Hales Best and Pollock 10-25, with a
preference for the first two sorts.

Fallon, Nevada, and many other western points: Hearts of Gold and
“Superfecto”; Las Cruces, New Mexico, many Te-xas and southern points:
Burrell Gems and “Superfecto.”

Tennessee, Arkansas and other southern points: Hearts of Gold and
“Superfecto.”

New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland; Hearts of Gold, “Superfecto,”
Abbots Pearl, Pollock 10-25 and Hales Best.

Large local markets often prefer the larger melons. We sell enough
Tip Top around Los Angeles each year to plant 1,500 to 2,000 acres.

We developed the oblong type Hearts of Gold, first offering it in 1912;
the Burrell Gem, which has been grown very extensively and millions of
dollars worth of Burrell Gems have been sold and now Burrell’s “Super¬
fecto” is the finest melon yet, and this I-nArst offered in 1926. In 1929
thousands of acres of “Superfecto” were planted.

With all cantaloupes the customer develops an appetite and buys
regularly if the melons are always good, but poor melons destroy the
desire for melons and those who would be good buyers turn to peaches
and other fruits instea,d.

Don’t pick cantaloupes green.

Don’t pick cantaloupes from rusted vines.

Don’t pick cantaloupes from aphis covered vines.

Don’t pack melons you would not buy to eat yourself if you were the
customer.

Don’t buy cheap seed. Your crop costs about fifty dollars per acre,
and often more, considering rental of land, before you begin to pick, and
poor seed may cut the value of the crop in two and even more. Two to
four dollars per acre for the best seed is small compared with other costs.

Buy the best seed.

Growing Cantaloupes

The land should be a sandy loam, well supplied with humus. A heavy
oat stubble plowed under is one of the first locations. Green rye is apt
to sour in the ground and give poor results. Sow vetch in the fall and
turn it under two or three weeks before time to plant the melons, and
you have stored up in the soil as much fertilizer value as you could pur¬
chase in commercial fertilizers for $20 to $40 per acre and above this
have an abundance of humus. The soil is benefited and you should
produce a profitable crop of melons.

Prepare a deep, finely pulverized and well settled seed bed. Plant ten
to twelve seeds to the hill, close together, if the soil is inclined to crust,
as one plant will help the other raise the crust, and the strongest should
be left in thinning. Cover the seed about 2 inches deep. If hills 4 feet
each way, thin to one plant when they have five to six leaves; if 6 feet
each way, thin to two plants to the hill.

Cultivate frequently, deep away from the plants, but shallow close to
them. When hoeing remove the crust from around the plants and replace
with fine, loose soil.

If under irrigation, they should be watered regularly about every two
weeks and the watering continued through the ripening season to keep
the vines thrifty. Many do not irrigate during the ripening season, with
the result that after a couple of weeks the melons ripen prematurely and
are of poor quality.

For mildew control 80 to 100 pounds of finely ground sulphur per
acre applied at planting time by blowing upon the surface has given 100
per cent control.

Nearly the entire cantaloupe crop of the country is marketed by spe¬
cialists who distribute to the different markets, keeping close wire connec¬
tions with all, to be able to place the melons where there is greatest
distribution is a very important factor, but the quality of the pack has
most to do with the success of the grower. If the melons are right, they
always sell quickly and command top prices.

HERE IT IS— THE BEST CANTALOUPE YET

Burrell’s ‘‘Superfecto” Cantaloupe

Trade Mark

One melon in ’22, a small plot in ’23. A larger plot in ’24. Several
acres in ’25, a larger acreage in ’2G. Thousands of acres grown in 1927
by Market Growers with excellent results. The 1928 crop proved more
profitable to the California growers than any other sort. Our 1929 Seed
Crop was good and we are prepared to fill large orders.

One of the Leading Distributors who handles thousands of ears of
Cantaloupes each year said of our Superfe<“to Cantaloupe: “It is the most
uniform melon ever introduced in Size, Shai>e, Netting, Depth of Flesh,
Color of Flesh, and Quality.”

Burrell’s “Superfeeto” Cantaloupe has made this record because it is
acknowledged to be the finest cantaloupe yet developed by those who
“know their melons.” It combines the best points of all the best. “Super-
fecto” is as uniform as the 10-25; as spicy as the Burrell Gem; as sweet
as the Honey Dew, and as disease resistant as the Eden Gem, and to
all these fine points it adds a depth and quality of liesh which i.s not
equaled by any of the other cantaloupes.

Our crop would have packed almost entirely 12 to the Jumbo flat
crate. The melons averaging about 2 Vi pounds each.

The netting is well developed; flesh fine grained and very deep.
Color of flesh a reddish salmon clear to the thin, tough rind. Keeping
quality far better than the other well known cantaloupes.

One of the leading" cantaloupe men spent a week going from field
to field looking for the best cantaloupe he could find in this valley and
he chose one of our fields of “Superfeeto” not knowing whose field it
was until afterward when he bought a large quantity of the seed.

His choice should recommend this seed to you. We have been growing
cantaloupes for over 30 years and recommend it to you either for shipping
long distances or for a local market or for your home garden. All over
the world whei'ever cantaloupes will grow we recommend this melon be
grown.

Do not plant this variety the first year after Alfalfa or Clover, as
the melons will be late, the netting less regular and the flesh not so firm
and suitable for shipping to distant points. Bean or oat stubble ground
is to be preferred.

“THE BEST ARE NONE TOO GOOD FOR YOU TO HOE"

Salmon Tinted Pollock Cantaloupe

10-25

This strain was developed from the Salmon Tinted Pollock No. 25.
The originators planted a large number of plats from single melons and
plat No. 10 produced this melon, which accounts for the name.

The melons run from standard to Jumbo, packing in standard crates
and Hats. This is an advantage, there being no pony melons.

The melons' are solidly netted, without ribs, very uniform in size and
shape, do not develop soft spots and can be picked closer than other types
of Rocky Fords.

The flesh is a rich salmon about two-thirds the depth, changing to
green near the rind. This color is very uniform.

Whether your association plants ten thousand pounds of seed or you
plant only for a home garden I want your order and will give it good

care.

I offer the seed in two grades — large lots in 1-lb. cloth bags sealed.

BURRELL’S SELECT GOLD-LINED NETTED ROCK OR NETTED
ROCK KING is a very valuable market sort. It possesses the necessary
points of solid, closely laced netting, deep meat, green nearly the full
depth, with a golden lining. The flavor is excellent. It will hold up to
ship to the farthest markets, and the vines are highly rust-resistant. The
size runs from standard to Jumbo, and the markets are now calling for
flat crates packed 12s, at a premium price.

The Burrell Gem Cantaloupe

ALSO CALLED PINK MEAT

This melon continues to be a favorite and the market results for 1929
were again in its favor especially late in the season.

The crate now being used for the standard melons measures 2 4 inches
long, 13% inches wide, 4% inches deep, and holds 12 melons, or 15 smaller-
sized melons. About 80 per cent of our melons run 12 to the crate. The
small melons, 15 to the crate, do not sell as well, as it is quite an
advantage to get as many 12’s as possible.

This is an abundant yielder, often producing 15 to 25 melons to the
hill. The meat is rich golden color, very thick, and fine-grained. The
flavor cannot be excelled. The seeds are closely held in place in three
lobes and do not easily shake loose. The rind is covered with a closely
laced gray netting, except the narrow stripe between the ribs, which is
not netted. The blossom end is well protected. Shape oblong, averaging
six inches long and tapering at the ends. It is an excellent shipper and
will carry nearly two weeks without ice.

We do not recommend it for planting where there is an e.xtensive rain¬
fall, as this will cause them to crack. Be sure to get your seed from us.

Returns as high as $1,000.00 per acre have been obtained here at
Rocky Ford for melons shipped to eastern markets of this variety.

HALES BEST OR H. B. CANTALOUPE IS A MONEY MAKER

Hales Best or H. B. Cantaloupe

This Extra Early Sort has grown in favor iintil thousands of acres
were planted in 1929. We have been growing Hales Best since firs-t in¬
troduced and very carefully selecting planting stock until we now have
this seed of “Burrell’s Best’’ quality to offer.

Our fields are all grown exclusively for seed and no melons shipped.
This year our large acreage produced a very fine crop.

The H. B. cantaloupe is large, running about nine to the Jumbo flat
crate, well netted, oblong, very solid; the flesh is deep, salmon colored,
fine grained and of good quality. Extreme earliness makes it a money
maker.

By far the largest acreage of any melon the past season was planted
of this variety and indications are that next year, in California especially,
it will *be the favorite early market sort. Superfecto is the ideal variety
to follow this, as it comes on as soon as picking of H. B. is over.

We have cut this seed in one grade from the finest melons and offer:

Price — Hales Best or H. B. Cantaloupe (10c per pkt.) (15c per oz.)
(40c per % lb.) ($1.25 per lb.) (5 lbs., .$5.50) (10 lbs., $10.00) prepaid.

HEARTH OF COED— BURRELL’S OBLONG TYRE IS NOW CONSIDERED
ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE SORTS.

Burrell’s Oblong Type Hearts
of Gold Cantaloupe

This melon, when first introduced, averaged shorter from stem to
blossom than from top to bottom, I carefully selected to an oblong type
and in 1912 I offered in my catalog seed from my fields which averaged
fully 90 per cent of the oblong type. This has resulted in a deeper meat
and a very desirable shipper. Size a little larger than the standard Rocky
Ford. Color of meat a rich orange, flavor very good. It is an excellent
melon, and I recommend that you give it a, thorough trial. B.xcelleut
records were made with this variety in Nevada. Washington, Michi.gan,
Tennessee and other states where a large acreage was grown for market.

One of my customers shipped 54 carloads from sixty acres and they
sold fifty per cent above the regular market at that time. His cash
returns after deducting freight and commission was $25,843.59. How is
that for 60 acres in one year?

Cantaloupe. It sets a very heavy first crop so that in a few days after
the first crop begins to ripen large pickings are getting ripe. The netting
is well developed, gray, and closely laced. The flesh is light green and of
excellent quality. The seed cavity is some larger than any of the pre¬

The Earliest Muskmelon yet developed.

This extra early maturing Muskmelon produces almost round, medium
sized, fairly well netted melons. It is moderately ribbed, thick flesh,
sweet and melting, of golden yellow color. The plants are hardy and
vigorous, very productive, although mostly crown set and harvest period
lasts only a few days. Melons are poor keepers and must be eaten as
soon 'as ripe; quality under ordinary growing conditions fair. Price —

Muskmelon

Tii>-T<*i> in jinnie, Tip-Top in quality. We recommend this sort
to market grroAvers who are near their markets and for highway
markets. The melons are uniform in size, weighing six to seven
pounds. See cut for shape. Ligiit slate colored rind, lightly
netted. Changes color before ready to slip, so that they can
be safely picked by cutting the stem before ready to slip if
wanted to keep two to four days. If to be sold the same day
picked, pick as soon as the stem will slip.

Deep meat of rich orange salmon color. Spicy, sweet and one
of the best muskmelons grown.

We sell thousands of pounds of this seed — a large part of it
being planted near large cities by market gardeners. Enough of
our seed of Tip-Top to plant more than l',500 acres is shipped to
Los Angeles, Calif., each year.

Plant 6 ft. apart each way and thin to one plant to the hill
when 5 or 6 leaves. For price, see bottom of page.

Bender’s Surprise

This melon very much resembles “Our stock of Tip-Top, the
netting is a little heavier, the flesh is thicker and the melon
weighs more; color the same rich salmon, fine grained, spicy and
sweet. Bender’s Surprise is a favorite in many sections. The
demand for seed of this melon from our customers grew large
and we have secured the finest possible stocks from which we
grew a good crop this year. For price, see bottom of page.

OUR SELECTION OF HONEY DE,W MELONS IS OF THE MOST

DESIKABLEi TYPE

Green Meated Honey Dew

During- the fall of 1915 the first Honey Dew melons were placed on
the market aixd the product of slightly over two acres netted thirty-six
hundred dollars (.$3,600.00) in the Chicago and New York City markets.

The rind is a dull white when ripe. Part of the melon.s show slight
checks in the rind like a tendency to net. This appears when the melon
is ready to< pick. Time of ripening, about two weeks later than Rocky
Fords.

The size runs six to seven inches in diameter from top to bottom and
eight inches in length. The matured melons are practically all the same
shape and size.

The flesh is a rich green and very sweet. The melon is a .good shipper
and will keep several weeks, so there is practically no loss from spoiled
melons in shipping.

We recommend this melon to market growers. The vines are vigorous
and set six to ten melons to the hill, and if proper care is taken to ship
only ripe melons a fine market can be established.

Here is a photo of one of my seed fields this yeai’. This would have
yielded about 1,000 crates per acre of the finest Honej' Dew melons. While
other crops of this variety are short I am well prepared to fill your orders,
large or small. Our Honey Dew seed shows very high germination test.

HONEY BALLS TOPPED THE MARKETS AGAIN IN 1»29

Honey Ball Melon

This melon brings excellent prices on the Eastern markets. It re¬
quires a very long season and cannot be grown where seasons are shorter
than here at Rocky Ford. Thi.s is a very delicious melon. It resembles
a small Honey Dew but has a slight tendency to net. The thick green
flesh is very sweet and the flavor well liked; size about 5 inches in
diameter. Honey Ball keeps well and is an excellent shipper. Our
stock is very good and we are glad to recommend it. This melon is a
shy seeder and the price must necessarily be higher than many other
sorts. Price — (10c per pkt.) (SOc per oz.) (60c per % lb.) ($2.60 per lb.)
(10 lbs., $17.00) prepaid. Wholesale price, not prepaid — (100 lbs. and up,
$1.50 per lb.).

Golden Beauty CASABA

This is the finest of the casabas and a money maker for market
growers wherever casabas mature well. The photo above shows the type
of this variety, which runs very true. The flesh is sweet, juicy, very fine
grained and deep. The seeds are held firmly in the center and the
melons keep v/ell for two or three months after maturity. On the mar¬
kets they are gaining in favor and there is now a demand for very large
shipments. This is the sort most extensive’y grown in California.

Try them in your home garden if you do not grow for market. An
ounce of seed may produce you many dollars’ worth of fine melons.

Our strain of this is very uniform in size and shape, and we recom¬
mend it to the most critical planters.

Anne Arundel Muskmelon

This very early variety is well netted, has deep g-reen meat of very
fine Havor, close grained and firm, making' an excellent market melon.
Packed in Jumbo flat crates — 4 to 6 pounds.

Many report excellent crops from it and those who have short sea¬
sons say it is their best sort. You will find this a money maker.

In California this melon has been renamed Gautier Pineapple, under
which name it has won an excellent local reputation.

Our seed is the real Anne Arundel which we have selected for many
years.

The demand now calls for larger melons than a few years ago and
we believe you will find this more desirable than Early Knight for road¬
side market and are giving Anne Arundel preference — in offering the seed
to you.

This is a very fine quality, green meated cantaloupe. Size about that
of a Jumbo Rocky Ford. Very sweet and spicy. Shape oblong. The
netting is well developed except that the suture between the slight ribs
is without netting and a bright green after the melon is ripe, giving it
a striking appearance. The fruits are firm and picked full slip will keep
several days. Will pack nicely in Jumbo flat crates. We recommend
Early Knight to market growers for nearby markets.

VSE HOTKAPS AND BE FIRST ON THE MARKET FR03I YOUR SECTION

HOTKAPS

Higher Prices for Your Crop

This Amazing New Method of Plant Pro¬
tection Gets You Higher Prices for Larger

and Quicker Crops

Last year thousands of growers added to the value of their
vine crops by using Gerinaco HOTKAPS — shown above. This
reniarkalble invention consists of a scientifically constructed wax
paper cone that you place over each plant. Thus they are minia¬
ture hot-houses that protect plants from frost, wind, rain, insects
and ground crusting.

HOTKAPS not only protect plants, but
make them grow hardier and faster. Thus
you get a greater crop production to market
earlier for higher prices!

You can add to your next year’s profit
with HotKaps. They cost but a fraction
over a penny each.

Over Eight Million HotKaps were used
last year in the Imperial Valley of California.
Set early Cabbage, Tomato, Pepper and Egg¬
plant, plant Cantaloupe, Cucumber, Water¬
melon and Summer Squash under HotKaps.

Try spouting part of the seed and planting as soon as the sprouts
appear. This will hurry them still more. One man can “set” 3,000
HotKaps per day. They not only bring you higher prices, but are
a method of crop insurance — against the danger of the elements.

Prices are as follows — Express or Postage Extra. But if your
seed order amounts to as much as the HotKap order I will pre¬
pay the transportation charges on the HotKaps, or if you order
seed and HotKaps for a certain number of acres I will pay trans¬
portation on the HotKaps. To get the advantage of the prepaid
price your order for HotKaps must be placed at the same time
seed order is placed.

WATERMELONS

Plant about two pounds of seed per acre.

Above is a photograph of one of our seed fields of Burrell’s Improved
Kleckley Sweet Watermelons. The long row of melons are selected for
stock seed. This very careful selection is done to keep our seed right.
See price of this grade of seed next page. This year we grew good crops
of watermelons and have a good stock of excellent seed.

CFLTl RE

To successfully grow watermelons it is absolutely necessary to have
good seed. Then select proper soil and give it proper cultivation and
irrigation (if under irrigation) and if not prepare the land to drain off
or retain the moisture, depending upon whether you get much or little
rain-fall, and the results are usually very good.

Select a well-drained sandy loam; new sod land is best; any good
loamy soil which is well drained is good.

If under irrigation run large furrows 8 feet apart and plant the hills
well up on the border 8 to 10 feet apart. Be careful not to irrigate too
often.

Watermelons are lovers of drouth and the finest melons are grown
under semi-arid conditions.

Plow deep and harrow well to make a fine seed bed. A liberal coat
of stable manure disked in before plowing will increase the size and yield.

If not under irrigation, plow the land in ridges by first throwing out
a dead furrow, then back-furrowing into the dead furrow four or five
furrows from each side, and after thoroughly harrowing plant on the
center of the ridge.

Do most of the cultivating with the harrow, setting the teeth straight
and cultivate deep.

Keep a fine mulch on the surface and do not let any weeds grow.
Plant ten to twelve seeds to the hill and thin to one plant when they
have five to six leaves.

If you use commercial fertilizer mix it thoroughly with the soil around
the hill, but do not leave any lumps under the hills where the first roots
will reach it, or it will burn the roots and check the growth if not kill
the plant.

Do not plant on land where melons were grown before, even if four
or five years before, if you have other good land. The vines remove some¬
thing from the soil not readily replaced, and following crops usually pro¬
duce deformed melons with black ends or shriveled ends, even from the
best of se^s, while the same seed on adjoining land, where melons have
not been grown before, will produce large melons of the finest quality.

Do not press on melons to see if they are ripe. T*his injures them and
results in very poor melons. A slight thump with the finger, if the sound
1 rings clear and a high tone, indicates, a green melon; if a hollow, low
1 tone, or rather dead tone, the melon is ripe. . . i.

Usually the curl where the melon attaches to the vine dies when the
1 melon is ripe. By a little practice you can tell by the color. A bright,

‘ growing color indicates a green melon; a dull green indicates ripeness.

The Improved Kleckley Sweet are the finest flavored melons and fair
( shippers up to 150 to 175 miles. Klondike is extra good.

Burrell’s Grey, the New Tom Watson, Excel, Irish Grey, White Seeded
1 Angelino and Black Seeded Angelino are the finest eating melons c^f ^the
t really good shippers. Thousands of the finest melon fields of the Unit^iJ
f Sfat?^ are frown each year from our seeds.

Burrell’s Improved Kleckley
Sweet Watermelon

Our strain of this melon is listed by some as the New Hard Shell
Kleckley Sweet.

THE MOST DELICIOUS AVATEK3IELON GROWN; VERY PRODUCTIVE
AND OF ATTRACTIVE AI’PEARANCE

Many years we thought we had enough seed of this fine melon to
meet the demand but sold out so we could not fill the orders of a large
number of customers. This year we grew a larger acreage than usual of
this variety and hope to fill all orders. These melons are long, dark
green, very uniform and in demand in all markets. They will ship quite
well up to 200 miles. The llesh is bright red, very sweet and melting. The
seeds are white and less seed per melon than in almost any other melon.

We offer the seed in two grades as follows:

This large mottled green watermelon often weighs 50 to 60 pounds
and averages on good soil over 30 pounds. It has won place among the
very finest as a market melon. The fiesh is deep red and contains very
few seeds, which are firmly bedded. It is a leader, taking into con¬
sideration size, shipping and eating quality. Our stocks are very carefully
selected and we have excellent seed to offer. Place your order with us
and you will have taken the first step toward an excellent crop. This
year my seed is of the best we ever offered. We have never received

A NEW WATERMELON — A REAL WINNER

Burrell’s Grey Watermelon

We have been growing watermelons for seed for more than thirty
years and during that time we have continuously selected our planting
stocks to produce the highest possible quality.

We have supplied hundreds of thousands pounds of watermelon seeds
to the most successful planters from coast to coast, and as a lesult we
re(;eive many helpful letters from these planters outlining what they have
found the most desirable type for a market melon.

The secretary of a large Growers’ Association in Texas wrote us
several years ago that if we could produce a melon having the shipping
and eating qualities of Irish Grey, but of greater diameter and one which
under favorable conditions, would produce melons large enough so that a
large percent of the crop would enable them to ship 40 to 45-pound aver¬
ages they would become regular customers for several thousand pounds
of seed each year. We have since succeeded in developing such a melon
and offer it under the name BURRELL’S GREY. The shape is as shown
in photo; long, square ended, full in the center, color light mottled grey;
seeds vary in color from white to blotched reddish brown; flesh deep red,
very firm, stringless but melting, sweet and of excellent quality. They all
cut alike and a display with one or two cut open will cause them to sell on
sight. The quality is so good that return orders will be sure to result.

j This shows how Burrell’s Grey cuts to show the big, red heart. Take

^ an ordinary pocket knife and cut around the melon lengthwise about two
f inches deep, then cut out a slice about one inch* wide and four inches

S long on one side, then with this fingerhold pull»^the melon apart. Are

i they good? One of the boys said he couldn’t get enough and after he had
eaten all he could he said “IMy Stummick is full but my Mouth is still

I hungry.”

|i Grow Burrell’s Grey Watermelon, thin to one plant to the hill, 8 to

II 10 feet apart each way; plant on good rich sandy loam soil where water-

I melons have not been grown before. Give the best of care and make

I money. Price — Stock Seed Burrell’s Grey, saved from melons averaging

THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PLANTEKS BUY THE BEST SEEDS

New Black Seeded Klondike

The photo above is of one of our Black Seeded Klondike Water¬
melons. This melon i.s shaped the same as the original Klondike and
has about the same quality but the rind while thin is tough, making it a
good shipper.

This strain produces a large per cent black seeded but a few will
show spotted seeds like the original Klondike, however, those showing
.spotted seeds have tougher rinds than the original.

The deep red flesh is of excellent quality and deep red close to the
thin tough rind.

The seeds are small and only about two-thirds as many iDOunds are
required per acre as of the large seeded varieties.

Black seeded Klondike was developed to please those who prefer a
black seeded melon and also for a good shipper. We recommend southern
planters plant this sort in a limited way to see if your markets, like those
of Caiifornia’s, will prefer it.

Weight about 25 pounds, oblong, square ended, rind dark green and
slightly ribbed when ripe.

Burrell’s Select Black Seeded
Winter Queen Watermelon

Above is from a photograph of one of my fields of this melon. The
yield was 4,500 melons per acre, weighing about eighteen pounds each.

Winter Queens are nearly round, nearly white, with narrow pale
green stripes. The seeds are black and small. The flesh deep red, very
firm, stringless, sweet, and of excellent quality. Ripen in about the same
length of time as Kleckley S’wect, but remain solid and of good quality
two or three months and may be kept until Christmas. They should be
very profitable to ship South after southern melons are gone, but the
weather is warm and the appetite for watermelon lingers.

Golden Heart Watermelon

A number of years ago we offered this melon and its rich golden flesh
of finest flavor won it friends where it was planted. Later we lost our
crop and thought we had lost the seed but we found some which had
been laid aside and grew a small acreage of very fine melons. The
shape is slightly oblong, nearly round, color light green striped with dark
green mottled stripes. Size about thirty pounds. Recommended for home
gardens and nearby markets. A good seller for roadside markets. One
of the finest eating m.elors grown.

ONION

Plant % oz. to 100 feet of drill, three to four pounds per acre, excepl
Sweet Spanish and like sorts 2 to' 2%. For sets, forty
to eighty pounds per acre.

In onion culture thorough preparation of the' ground, careful sowing
and the best of after culture, though essential for a full yield, will avail
nothing unless seed of the best quality be used. Given the same care and
conditions, the product from two lots of onion seed of the same variety
but of different quality may be so unequal in the quantity of merchant¬
able onions that it would be more profitable to use the good seed though
it cost twenty times as much as the other. The seed we offer is the best
obtainable. Although onions are often raised from sets and from division,
by far the best and cheapest mode of production is from seed. The facility
with which seed is sown and the superior bulbs it produces, recommend it
for general use.

HOW TO RAISE ONIONS

THE SOIE. A crop of onions can be grown on any soil which will pro¬
duce a full crop of corn, but on a stiff clay, very light sand or gravel, or
on some muck or swamp lands, neither a large nor ai very profitable crop
can be grown. I prefer a rich loam with a slight mixture of clay. This is
nauch better if it has been cultivated with hoed crops, kept clean from
weeds and well-manured for two years previous, because if a sufficient
quantity of manure to raise an ordinary soil to a proper degree of fertility
is applied at once, it is likely to make the onions soft. The same result
will follow if we sow on rank mucky ground or on that which is too wet.

MANURING. There is no crop in v/hich a liberal use of manure is
more essential than in this, and it should -be the best quality, well fer¬
mented and shoveled over at least twice during the previous summer to
kill weed seeds. If rank, fresh manure is used, it is liable to result in soft
bulbs( with many scallions. Of the commercial manures, any of the high-
grade, complete fertilizers are good for ordinary soils, and even very
rich soils are frequently greatly benefited by fine ground bone, and mucky
ones by a liberal dressing of wood ashes.

PREPARATION. Remove all refuse of previous crops in time to com¬
plete the work before the ground freezes up and spread the composted
manure evenly at the rate of about twenty tons to the acre. This should
first be disced in and then the ground ploughed a moderate depth, taking
a narrow furrow in order to thoroughly mix the manure with the soil.
Carefully avoid tramping on the ground during the winter. Disc thor¬
oughly as early in the spring as it can be worked, after which the entire
surface should be made fine and level with a smoothing harrow. It is
impossible to cultivate' the crop economically unless the rows are perfectly
straight.

SOWING THE SE'EH, This should be done as soon as the ground
can be made ready and can be done best by a hand seed drill. Growers of
large acreages here plant with the 4 row beet drills using special plates.
This permits cultivating with 4 row cultivators. The drill should be
carefully adjusted to sow the desired quantity of seed about one-half
inch deep. The quantity needed will vary with the soil, the seed used
and the kind of onions desired. Thin seeding gives much larger onions
than thick seeding. Two to four pounds per acre is the usual quantity
needed to grow large onions. I use a drill with a roller attached, but
if the drill has none the ground should be' well rolled with a light hand
roller immediately after the seed is planted.

CUETIVATION. Give the onions the first hoeing, just skimming the
ground between the rows as soon as they can be seen in the row. Hoe
again in a few days, this time close up to the plants, after which weeding
must be begun. This operation must be carefully and thoroughly done.
The weeder must work on his knees astride the row, stirring the earth
around the plants, in order to destroy any weeds that have just started.
At this weeding or the next, according to the size of the plants, the rows
should be thinned, leaving from eight to twelve plants to the foot. In ten
days or two weeks they will require another hoeing and weeding similar
to the last, and two weeks later give them still another hoeing and if
necessary another weeding. If the work has been thoroughly done at the
proper time, the crop will not require further hand work until ready
to gather.

GATHERING. As soon as the tops die in the fall the bulbs should
be pulled and about four rows put together in, each winrow. As soon as
the tops are dried cut about one-half inch from the bulb with shears and
put into field crates. Stack crates in piles of about one truck load each
and protect top crates from weather. When thoroughly cured run over
grader, sort out scallions and damaged bulbs and store in onion house.
Stack so that the best of ventilation -is assured. Keep dry and as near
a uniform temperature just above 32 degrees as is possible. Repeated
freezing and thawing will spoil the bulbs. Very early onions are grown
by the transplanting method, the seed being sown in frames or beds
a id the sm.all onions transplanted when the size of a small l^a,d pencil

Rocky Ford, Crop 1929. Each pile row represents just one row of onions
pulled and piled to dry where they grew. In this particular portion of the
field the yield was 1,800 bushels per acre and the whole field averaged
1,400 bushels per acre. We are putting forth every effort to supply you
with the best seeds of all the kinds we list, and are glad to say that
thousands of planters report good results.

Valencia onion seed is usually planted at the rate of 2% to 3 lbs. of
seed per acre and the crop not thinned, but if you wish to grow uniformly
large onions, thin so the plants stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the row. If
under irrigation, water regularly every week to ten days until the onions
are grown and cultivate eight to ten times. 50 tons of well decomposed
manure per acre was applied to the land which produced above illustrated
crop — one year before these onions were grown and this crop was culti¬
vated eleven times.

Just where they grew and five inches through. This illustrates the
class of bulbs that can be grown under favorable conditions where thinned,
however, these were too far apart — 3 to 4 inches is right.

Price — Y'ellow Valencia Onion Seed — Riverside Strain — (10c per pkt.)

time the plants should be the size of a large lead pencil, very large crops
can be produced.

To Grow Pumpkins

Select a very fertile location and plant the hills eight feet apart each
way, H to 8 seeds to the hill. Thin to one plant to the hill when the
plants have 5 or 6 leaves. Cultivate often and keep free of w'eeds. Best
results are obtained where grown alone. A good rule is Pumpkins for
the pumpkin patch and Corn for the cornfield. Grow a good stand of
pumpkins and don’t raise corn among the pumpkins. The pumpkins hin¬

For very early peas the soil should he light aiul tTarni. Pre¬
pare the seed bed in the fall and plant ns early in the spring as
the soil can he worked. It is best to double rows about six
inches apart and then leave a space of thirty inches to the next
double row. Do not plant in heavy, sticky soil, as the seeil will
rot before germinating. For first early plant Alaska and follow
with Nott’s Excelsior or Laxtoninn. For late or main crop plant
Dwarf Telephone. Alaska produces very early and nearly the
whole crop in one or two pickings. Nott’s Excelsior are then
ready. These sweet wrinkled peas yield heavy crops of fine
quality and before they are gone the Laxtonians, producing long,
flark green pods well filled w'ith large peas of quality equal to the

freezing. For insects, dust with Aphicide No. 15. This will not only kill
the striped beetles but will kill the Black Squash Bug. See page 22.

GOLDEN HUBBARD SQUASH

This is an excellent variety. The fruits' are of the typical Hubbard
shape and heavily warted, see photo of average specimens from my crop.

The Golden Hubbard is rich golden orange colored. The flesh very
deep orange, rich and fine flavored. It keeps well and the large vines
produce several squashes. It is one of the surest croppers. Price — See
Bottom of Page.

IMPROVED HUBBARD

This is the standard variety and has no superior. If you are planting
but one variety for winter I would recommend that this be the Hubbard.
It is a favorite both for market and home use. Good specirnens are about
equal to the sweet potato. The shell is hard and dry, and with some care
can be kept until late in the spring. My strain is very fine. Price^ —
See Bottom of Page.

CHICAGO WARTED HUBBARD

My crop of this variety grown for 1930 was grown in the mountains
at a high altitude where the conditions are such that hardiness is devel¬
oped even more than where grown far north. This very fine variety
much resembles the Original Hubbard, except that it is larger and more
covered with warts. Can be kept until late spring. The shell is very
hard and dry. Price — ^See Bottom of Page.

BLUE HUBBARD^

tensively than all others. Large, slate colored, long keepers — very fine

Burrell’s Special Selection
Chalks Early Jewel Tomato

seed from the finest possible selection from individual plants
which bear the heaviest crop of most uniform fruits. These
plants produce 100 to 160 fruits each. This seed is grown above
4,000 feet elevation and is hardy and vigorous.

Considering the quality of the stock, the price of this seed is
much less than cheap, questionable seed as a gift.

This tomato is large, smooth, round, solid, of good size for
shipping, canning or home use. Color, a bright red. No hard
cores or cat faces.

I have grown nearly 26 tons per acre of very fine Early Jewell

BurrelPs Special Selection
Bonny Best Tomato

My own growing above 4,000 feet elevation

I am now growing line brcrl stock of Bonny Best tomato and my
records show that this is a great tomato for the market grower, the home
grower, the CANNEK. ]My yield from one acre net was 30 tons, 839
Itonnds. Expert tomato growers who inspected them after fifteen tons
per acre had been picked stated the vines still held what they would
consider a full crop.

The fruits are medium large — just the right size — shape full from
stem to blossom. Color deep red, quality unsurpassed. No cat faces 'or
hard cores. Very early and one I recommend to the most critical grower.

If you want early fine tomatoes to bring top prices, get some of this
seed; start your hot bed early so you can set out large, hardy plants as
early as the weather will permit, and you will be a Bonny Best enthusiast
when the crop matures. Don’t fail to plant some of this seed, and if you
grow for market, \\here earliness and best quality count, i)lant a large
part of your acreage to it. Price — (10c per pkt.) (30c per oz.) (.$1.00

One of the leading plant breeders of the U. S. made the statement
that he believed within a few years a large portion of all the tomato
seed would be grown in the Rocky Ford District of Colorado.

BUBRELL’S SUPER SEUECT TOMATO SEED

Burrell’s Super Select
Tomato Seed

This is a Special Grade Saved for Greenhouse and
Critical Outside Growers

Our tomato seed grown here at Rocky Ford has won an excel¬
lent reputation all over the U. S. for quality and yield. Our ele¬
vation is over 4,000 feet and conditions ideal for the growing of
fine tomato seeds. The demand for this grade of seed (Super
Select) has grown, until now nearly every tomato grower is look¬
ing for and buying the best he can find.

To meet this demand we are planting the finest possible selec¬
tion of stock seeds, saved from plots grown from line bred seeds
and from this very tfineist of the product from tne earliest fruits
we are saving Super Select tomato seeds. You know an ounce
under favorable conditions will produce nearly, if not quite,
enough plants to set an acre, and that this Super Select seed only
adds one or two dollars per thousand to the cost of the plants,
compared to plants grown from ordinary seed as a gift.

The tomatoes from which this seed was saved were ripening
when the price of tomatoes was 20c to 25c per pound, from which
you will see that only 20 to 30 pounds of tomatoes at that time
would have been required to pay for the seed necessary to grow
the plants to set an acre.

We only offer this Super* Select Tomato seed from three varie¬
ties. The price of each is as follows: (50e per pkt.) (Sl.SO per
14 oz.) (^5.00 per oz.) ($18.00' per % lb.) (.$70.00 per lb.).

The varieties' are as follows:

Burrell’s Super Select Bonny Best.

Burrell’s Super Select Early Jewell.

Burrell’s Super Select Earliana.

Price — (50c per pkt.) .('fl'SO per '‘■A oz.) ($5.00 per oz.) ($18.00
per lb.) ($70.00 per* lb.). Postpaul by insured' mail.

Our Special Bonny Best Toniatoe.s yielded 30 tons 839 pounds
on one acre, which at canning factory prices of $12.00 per ton
equaled $365.03 per acre, to say nothing of the price usually
obtained for early tomatoes, lO'c to 25c per lb.

Our Special Early Jewell Tomatoes yielded 2'5 tons 1,790 .pounds
per acre or $310.74 per acre at canning factory prices.

Our Special Earliana Tomatoes yielded 23 tons 350 pounds per
acre or $278.10 per acre at canning factory prices, from which
you can readily see that the price of our Super Select seed is low
even when compared with canning factory prices when the yield
per acre is taken into consideration. How much more is it really
worth when the early n.arket for fine quality is considered?

We hope every tomato grower who gets our catalog will plant
some of this seed and compare results with the best they have
been planting and write us what they were.

Yours truly,

Spark’s Earliana T omato

Burrell’s Special Strain

This Extra Early, red tomato has been the source of large returns
with many market tomato growers. The plants grow rather open and
are loaded with fruits. Will grow best set about ZVo feet apart each
way, and by starting the plants early in hot beds you will have tomatoes
about sixty days after setting out the plants. The bright red fruits are
quite uniform in shape, good marketable size and very smooth for so
early a sort. The habit of growth is' such that the vines do not hid©
the fruits, making them less liable to sun-scald, as from the first they
become accustomed to the direct rays, and also allowing them to be
picked at small expense.

They are borne in large clusters and the yield is heavy.

Price — (10c per pkt.) (30c per % oz.) ($1.00' per oz.) ($3.75 per ^4 li>.)
($7.00 per % lb.) ($13.50 per lb.). Prepaid large lots at one iiound rate.

See page 81 for Super Select seed of Burrell’s Special strain Earliana
tomatoes.

Standard seed of this variety is listed on page 85.

Early Avon Tomato

This variety is very similar to Earliana, but fruits are more nearly
round and vines continue to yield over a longer period.

One of our Swedesboro, N. J., customers advised us that the finest
tomatoes grown in his district last year were from our seed of the
Early Avon. This means a great deal as this_ is one of the largest
tomato growing sections in the United States. Price — (lOo per pkt.) (30c
per 1/4 oz.) ($1.00 per oz.) ($3.75 per 1/4 lb.) ($7.00 per i/^ lb.) ($13.50
per lb.). Prepaid large lots at one pound rate.

New Hummer Tomato

The best flavored hom.e canning tomato. This valuable variety is one
of the mildest flavored sorts and may be eaten by many people who dis¬
like tomatoes containing a large amount of acid. The fruits are round
with practically no indentation at the stem; color bright red, flesh solid
with very few seeds.

No green core; fruits ripen all over clear through; the center cuts
solid, bright red, flesh of extra quality: almost an extra early sort.

Price — (10c per pkt.) (60c per oz.) ($3.00 per % lb.) ($7.00> per lb.),

soon as there is a slight change in color from green, and ripen up nicely,
look well and keep a long time after ripe. Price — (10c per pkt.) (50c per ^

GULF STATE MARKET TOMATO IS ONE OF THE BEST SHIPPERS

Gulf State Market Tomato

The premier shipping: sort for Southern States.

The introducers of Gulf State market have this to say:

“Although this variety was developed primarily to meet the demands
of tomato growers who ship to distant markets, its many excellent qual¬
ities make it also a very desirable sort for the home gardener or the
grower for local markets.

“It is earlier than any other good purple tomato. The vines are
exceptionally robust, making the crop less susceptible to blight than
other varieties, thus increasing the possibilities of a perfect stand in the
field if weather or other conditions are unfavorable.

‘‘The fruits are almost true globe shaped and are entirely free from
cracks or blemishes about the blossom end. Fruits on the same cluster
ripen uniformly, making it an economical variety to pick. The fruits
color a rich purplish pink clear to the stem after packing.

MARGLOBE TOMATO

The Wilt and Nailhead. Rust-Resistant Sort

Our seed of this variety represents several years of very careful
selection from the original stock seed sent out by Mr. P. J. PTitchard
of the Bureau of Plant Industry, the originator.

This is a cross between the English sort Marvel and Livingston's
Globe. A vigorous grower whether in greenhouse or field: bright red in
color, quite early, of large size, almost round (see cut below) and very
productive.

Plas been thoroughly tested in sections where wilt and nailhead rust
are so destructive and has made a wonderful record. We do not believe
you can get a better selection of Marglobe than the seed we have to offer.

Price — (10c per pkt.) (60c per oz.) ($^2.00 per % U>.) ($7.00 per lb.) (.$6.50
per lb. in 10-lb. lots) prepaid. IVliolesale price, not prepaid — ($0.00 per
lb. in 50-lb, lots and up).

Livingston’s Globe Tomato

This is one of the finest market sorts. The fruits are large, and
a good marketable size is retained throughout the season; alw^ays smooth,
firm-fieshed and with few seeds; ripens evenly: color, a fine glossy rose,
tinged with purple, and without the slightest hint of yellow at any
stage of ripening. Fruit clusters spring from the main stem much closer
together than in most sorts. It is a remarkably good keeper, none of
the many varieties we grow surpassing it in this respect. In quality
there is nothing more to be desired, being mild, pleasant and of delicate
fiavor, and the beautiful and attractive globe-shaped fruits will find
ready sale. We sell large quantities of thi.s seed to Southern growers.
We grew a fine ci’op for seed this year.

A large Florida grower wrote me that my Globe tomato seed gave
better results than any other Globe tomato seed they could get and
wanted more “just like we got last j^ear.” Price — (10c per pkt.) (40c per

JUNE PINK TOMATO

This is an Extra Early I’iiik Tomato well known by market
growers and in some sections planted very extensively for ship¬
ping. June Pink has the habits of Earliana as to earliness and
plant growth, the plants being small and the set of fruits very
heavy. The shape of the fruits is same as Earliana but the color
pink instead of red and the skin much tougher, which accounts
for it being a good shipper. I sell June Pink in hundred pound
lots to customers in some of the leading southern tomato growing-
sections.

Our crop of this variety was very good this year and we have
the seed to offer in two grades.

“I planted your Giant Dahlia Flowered Zinnia in a bed 150
feet long and 6 feet wide. They were beautiful and many people
came to see them. Some measured six to eight inches in diameter.
People would not believe it until they came and saw them. I
never had so much praise of flowers in my life.”
