Special Notice
We make a specialty of supplying Market and Home Gardeners with the best strains of seeds. We do not
compete in prices with irresponsible parties, whose sole effort is to secure the lowest priced seeds, regardless
of quality; such seeds are dear at any price. The first cost of seeds is insignificant, compared with time and
labor that must be expended upon a growing crop. Quality is our first consideration, and the prices we offer
are as low as first-class seeds can be sold for. It is our endeavor to maintain the prices quoted in this Catalog,
but they are subject to change without notice.
Our policy is actuated by the personal interest we have in the results you get from our goods. There are
many conditions over which the buyer or seller has no control, but we want you to know that it is our aim and
desire to please every customer, The satisfied patron is the best advertisement. This is the personal element in

BLACK VALENTINE .
DWARF
GREEN-PODDED BEANS
One pound will plant 100 feet of row;
60 pounds will plant an acre.
PLENTIFUL— (New)—For many years Boun-
tiful has been, by far, the leading flat-podded
green dwarf variety. Plentiful, though 2 or 3
days later in maturing, has slightly thicker,
darker green, and much longer, 8-inch straight
pods of better flavor.
. . STRINGLESS
BOUNTIFUL—The best, heaviest yielding,
flat-podded variety, with light green pods, 614
to 7 inches long, stout, flat, somewhat curved,
and absolutely stringless in clusters, making
this the easiest one to pick. Very early, vigor-
ous, and produces heavily.
FULL MEASURE—The fine stringless me-
dium green pods are straight, 6 inches long,
very fleshy, round, crease-backed, have no neck,
show depressions around the Bean, and are ten-
der. Follows Bountiful by a few days and is a
heavy cropper.
2
TENDERGREEN—This matures early, with
614 to 7-inch pods, quite slender, straight, and
perfectly round. They are green, absolutely
stringless, meaty and tender, maturing at same
season as Full Measure.
BLACK VALENTINE—The original strain,
with round, straight, slim pods, earlier than the
Stringless strain, but having strings. It is very
prolific.
BLACK VALENTINE STRINGLESS—This strain is
becoming very popular in all sections. The 6-inch pods
are round, quite straight, dark green and stringless.
They are usually ready for picking in 55 days. A fine
market variety.
BURPEE‘S STRINGLESS—Very early, productive,
hardy and vigorous, with dark green pods, 5% inches
long; straight, stout, round, and crease-backed. They
are tender, brittle, and strictly stringless.
BEANS, LIMA, DWARF
FORDHOOK U. S. 242—Uniform—Heavy Yielding—
Dependable—A new and really better lima bean for
market. Developed by the U.S.D.A., this strain will
set heavy crops of fine pods even under adverse condi-
tions such as hot, dry weather. It yields more on the
early pickings and the total yield for the season is
greater. The pods are remarkably uniform—every one
is good sized, nearly straight and closely filled with
3 or 4 choice, thick beans. The seed is a little smaller
than our regular Fordhook, but the fine shape and size
of pod holds up even on the late sets. We highly rec-
ommend this new strain to all growers, and particularly
to those who have had dfficulty growing good limas in
the past. See prices on page 3.
FORDHOOK BUSH—75 days—Plants strong, erect,
bearing pods in clusters of from 4 to 8. Pods measure
4 to 5% inches long, and contains 3 to 5 large, green
beans. Seed white.
HENDERSON‘S (BABY LIMA)—65 days—Plant me-
dium large, very productive. Small pods, 3 inches long,
contain 8 to 4 green shell beans of very fine quality.
Plants bear until frost.
POLE BEANS
KANSAS WONDER—A white seeded variety—a vig-
orous climber, very productive, pods medium green,
9 inches long and nearly round, flesh brittle, stringless
when young. Can be used for snap beans, a good ship-
per, superior to the old Kentucky Wonder. If you are
planting pole beans this year, don’t fail to include
Kansas Wonder Pole.
Plant Kansas Wonder and you plant the best.
DWARF
WAX-PODDED BEANS
PENCIL-POD WAX—Very strong, vigorous, 15 inches
high, and very productive. The pods are large, 6% to
7 inches long, fully rounded, straight and deeply sad-
dle-backed, golden yellow, stringless, brittle, and fleshy.
UNRIVALLED WAX—53 days—Immensely productive.
Pods 5 to 5% inches long, narrow, straight, stringless
when young, and fleshy. Disease resistant. Excellent
for shipping, making it ideal for market gardeners.
Light tan seed.
ROUND POD KIDNEY WAX—52 days—Especially
fine for home gardens and for canning. Plants of me-
dium size, prolific. Pods 5% to 6 inches long, round,
fleshy, brittle, stringless, and of fine quality. Seed
white with black eye, kidney shaped.

BEETS ... for table
GREEN TOP EARLY WONDER—An out-
standing new selection of Early Wonder. Tops
slightly taller than original strain. Foliage
clean bright green which does not have the
tendency to turn red or bronze when grown in
cool weather. Roots nearly globe shaped;
slightly flattened on top and bottom. Interior
color deep purplish red zoned with lighter shade.
Recommended for shippers and for home or
market gardeners.
MATCHLESS
OUR NEW MATCHLESS BEET is a fine
globe-shape variety for early bunching, as well
as for main crop. There is no beet that is its
equal in quality and fine appearance. In fact, it
is perfect in every way. It is as early as the
finest strains of beets known to us in our long
experience of thirty years’ dealing with the
critical market gardeners. It is superior in
shape and color with the extra advantage that
its foliage is lighter green in color. The bulbs
have small tap root, are smooth and much dark-
er in color than most globe beets, both in and
out. The flesh is rich, deep brilliant scarlet red
without light zones, always sweet and tender.
Matchless is an all-purpose beet, but especially
fine to growers catering to the trade who de-
mand quality and appearance.
ASGROW WONDER —Farly and uniform. Attractive
for market bunching with round to semi-globe deep
red roots, small neck and tap root. Flesh dark red.
A & B SPECIAL CROSBY—Very early, uniform,
smooth, real dark blood-red roots, round but slightly
flat on top. Nice green bunching tops.
DETROIT DARK RED SELECTED—Smooth, uniform,
almost-globe roots which cut dark black-red throughout.
Green, red-veined tops. As the tops hold up well in
hot weather it is specially suitable for late summer
and fall bunching.

CABBAGE
GOLDEN ACRE—A very supe-
rior Danish-grown strain which we
maintain at its high degree of uni-
formity by special selection. It re-
sembles the old Copen-
hagen Market, but the
medium-size firm heads,
4 to 5 pounds each, ma-
ture one week earlier
than our Early Copen-
hagen Market. The
dwarf, compact plants,
with rather small frame,
can be set closely to give
a very heavy yield of
first-quality heads. On
yellows infested land, be-
cause of its earliness, it
often matures and is
fully marketed before
the soil becomes warm
enough for the disease to
become active. This
strain is easily worth
the higher cost of the
seed.
originators, to
true type.
PRIDE OF DENMARK Cabbage makes fine, round,
solid heads weighing from 3 to 5 lbs. each; 5 days
ahead of any other variety. It will make money for
the gardener and more friends for us. Except that it
is earlier, it resembles the Golden Acre variety, and
like Copenhagen it is not suited for storing, although
it will keep in prime condition for at least 60 days
after maturity. For an early crop, it has no equal.
We import direct from the
insure the
GREEN ACRE CABBAGE (NEW)—The heads of this
fine variety are like Golden Acre, but are larger,
greener, and a few days later. The uniform, compact
plants are short-stemmed and have few outer leaves.
The intense green leaf color makes the heads appear
fresh and inviting, even after shipping.
COPENHAGEN MARKET—The round, solid heads,
larger than Golden Acre, are of fine quality and very
uniform. The light green leaves fold tightly over one
another. Plants are short-stemmed, with heads just
above the ground.
HIGHLAND BALLHEAD CABBAGE—A truly wonder-
ful cabbage of the later varieties, somewhat similar
to Ferry’s Hollander in growth and season, but larger
in size and darker green than Ferry’s—not unusual for
bushels to show a weight of 65 to 70 pounds. Much
superior in quality to any other late variety than we
are acquainted with and our customers give us the
information quoted.
RED ACRE—The Earliest Red Cabbage. This famous
early red variety is again available! The solid, round
heads are medium-sized (38-5 lbs.) and mature a little
later than Copenhagen Market. Red Acre is remark-
able for its ability to stand a long time without splitting
even under adverse weather conditions, and the hard
heads keep well in storage.
GOLDEN ACRE
CABBAGE
CHINESE CABBAGE — CHIHLI — Imported — This is
the most popular kind and best for market and roadside
stands. It has almost entirely replaced all other kinds
The heads are very attractive, often 18 inches long, uni-
form in shape and size, hard and firm. A profitable
crop both muck and upland, as it commands a ready
market, and can also be held in storage for winter
sales. Sow the seed in July or August; the crop ma-
tures in 8 to 10 weeks. 1 to 14% pounds will sow
one acre.

YELLOWS RESISTANT
STRAINS OF CABBAGE
Following, 1900 crop failures became more frequent in
cabbage growing sections of the Middle West. Even
on land where the crop had been grown only a few
times, growers were puzzled by the fact that plants
turned yellow, leaves dropped off at stem and plants died
in large numbers even with careful rotation of cabbage
with other crops. Once this diseased condition ap-
peared there seemed to be no effective cure or preven-
tion by rotation, seed or soil treatment, and the only
course left was to abandon such fields as “Cabbage
sick.” The varieties described below have proven their
real worth in districts where it has been impossible
to grow cabbage of more common varieties in the past
few years.
EARLY YELLOWS RESISTANT GOLDEN ACRE,
absolutely a new variety, which has been bred out of
the Golden Acre, but has been entirely satisfactory in
the last ten years in many parts of the country. We
have found it to be as early as the early strains of
Copenhagen and yet as resistant as any of the other
varieties of cabbage. which are bred with a thought of
producing a crop on infested soils.
EARLIEST OF ALL, is an early yellow resistant
Golden Acre, more resistant than Early Detroit
and Racine Market, stands longer without burst-
ing, darker green, about 3 to 4 days earlier than
Detroit Resistant and about 6 to 7 days earlier
than Racine Market. A more superior strain of
the other yellow resistant strains of Golden Acre.
MARION MARKET OR YELLOWS RESISTANT
COPENHAGEN—90 days—tThis is a yellows resist-
ant strain of Copenhagen Market. Plants large, coarse,
not so uniform or early by ten days as the original
Copenhagen, but have solid, crisp, tender, round heads.
Will produce a crop when nonresistant strains fail.
YELLOWS RESISTANT BUGNER’S SHORT STEM,
extremely popular wherever planted, our strain of seed
is a production of the originator’s stock seed. This va-
riety produces large, semi-round heads. It is disease
resistant and will take trifle more space to grow than
other varieties, should not be set closer than 2% by
3 feet.
WISCONSIN NO. 8, a yellows resistant strain of the
Danish Ballhead, desirable for growing in sections in-
fected with this disease. Plants are somewhat larger,
more leafy and spreading than the Ballhead, but
heads are fully as firm, compact and long keeping.
DANISH BALLHEAD SHORT STEM (Yellows Resist-
ant)—A desirable new strain which produces excellent
crops on soil infested with cabbage “yellows.” Keeps
well, is of fine texture, and matures slightly earlier
than Wisconsin No. 8.
GLOBE, a yellows resistant type of the well-known
Glory of Enkhuizen, having about the same size head
as the Glory. The most popular of all the yellows
resistant varieties. We sell more of Globe than all
others.
EVERGREEN HOLLANDER—Latest introduction in
the disease resistant cabbages. A fine strain of Hollan-
der, heads well rounded, solid, and dark green color.
More resistant to yellows than any other late varieties
of cabbages.
RED HOLLANDER, YELLOWS RESISTANT— Abso-
lutely a yellows resistant red cabbage, somewhat smaller
than Mammoth Red Rock, color dark red. Its firm
heads make it a good keeper, in size and season about
the same as Danish Ballhead.

THE MARKET
WHITE MOUNTAIN
ce CAULIFLOWER
IS MOST ALWAYS
ONE OF THE BEST
MONEY CROPS
CAULIFLOWER
WHITE MOUNTAIN—Because of its unusual
qualities and resistance has displaced nearly all
of the other varieties where in competition. A
strong growing variety of the snowball type,
produces larger and deeper heads and with no
unusual growing hindrances will make very am-
ple foliage with overlapping leaves over the
head as a protection to the snow-white heads in
its forming. The heads are of great depth and
pure white in color, green leaves rarely appear
in the head. Ten years’ experience prompts us
to say that White Mountain will produce 25 to
30 per cent more number one marketable heads
than most other varieties. White Mountain is
in a class of its own and our statements are
backed by the reports of our customers in
Colorado, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa and IIli-
nois.
A NEW, EARLY CAULIFLOWER
WHITE TOP — Unquestionably the earliest
maturing strain of the Snowball type, over
which it is a grand improvement indeed.
Comes about 8 days earlier. Of dwarf, compact
habit. Noticeable for its extreme earliness and
the certainty of producing its finely grained,
firm snow white large heads, of the finest qual-
ity. The best strain for forcing and specially
adapted for very critical market gardeners.
Produces nearly 100% heads.
SUPER SNOWBALL—Our Super Snowball is
the best strain grown. It is about two days later
than our famous White Top under favorable
conditions of soil and weather. Produces a won-
derful yield of large, compact, beautiful white
heads, well protected with leaves which curl
over the head. In a way-.quite distinct from
other strains. Heading very uniform, so crops
can be harvested within two or three weeks.
WHITE EXCELSIOR is a somewhat more
vigorous type of the Snowball class and selected
to produce a larger head than Snowball without
losing materially in earliness. After we intro-
duced this new type, result of close cooperation
between our breeding department and a promi-
nent market gardener, it has conquered the
market by leaps and bounds and we feel per-
fectly sure it will meet with instantaneous fa-
vor in your locality. This new strain will ma-
ture with great evenness and, although Snow-
ball will perhaps give a few forerunners a cou-
ple of days before White Excelsior makes its
start, the bulk of the crop is nearly as early and
harvesting may be completed 120 days after
date of sowing. The pure white heads are re-
markable for their great depth and unexcelled
white color. The curd is of fine texture, and re-
sistant in a high measure to “riciness” and
“fuzziness.”’ Also heads in which small green
leaves appear will be sought in vain. The fo-
liage is somewhat larger than of Snowball and
the inner leaves are perfect, protecting the head
until nearly full grown. We are sincere in be-
lieving that White Excelsior ranks as one of
the very superior stocks of Cauliflower avail-
able anywhere at any price.

ANDREWS-BURRI SEED ANNUAL AND PRICE LIST
CULTURE — The carrot
will do well in any good, well-
worked soil. For early use,
sow the seed when the apple
is in bloom, in rows 15
inches apart, and when 2
inches high thin out so that
the plants stand 4 inches
apart in the row. For fall
and winter use, sow the seed
from the 1st to 15th of June.
Sow one ounce of seed to 100
feet of drill, 2 to 3 pounds to
acre.
CHANTENAY SPE-
CIAL (Long Type) —
Days to maturity, 55-70.
This variety, introduced
by the great French firm
of Vilmorin-Andrieux &
Cie., forty years ago, is
still the leading commer-
cial carrot in the United
States. It has held its
great popularity on merit
alone, for it has a beau-
tiful appearance and ex-
cellent table quality. Its
length will average from
5 to 6 inches and its
color is a rich orange-red. In shape the root is
of great uniformity, of the half-long type,
smooth and free from side rootlets. Our stock
has been finely bred and may be planted with
absolute confidence by market gardeners,
truckers and ranchmen. Our sales of this va-
riety have now reached enormous proportions,
and this could not have been possible had we
not had an extremely fine strain. If you have
not tried our Chantenay, do not fail to do so.
DANVERS HALF LONG—A handsome, cyl-
indrical shaped carrot of good size and stump-
rooted. It differs from Chantenay in that it is
slightly longer in reaching maturity and will
average an inch or so more in length. Our true
type averages 614 to 7 inches in length, taper-
ing uniformly to a blunt point. The roots are
smooth and very attractive, of rich, deep
orange color, with crisp, sweet, tender flesh. A
popular variety for the shipper, also splendid
for the table.
XXX CORELESS—This variety is by far the
earliest of its type, but its earliness does not
affect in any way its size or quality. It is a half-
long, cylindrical, blunt-pointed variety, with
a very small tap-root and small, fine top. The
shape and size are extremely uniform, averag-
ing 6 to 7 inches in length and 114 inches in
diameter, clean-skinned, smooth and easily
pulled. The flesh is very fine-grained, absolutely
without any woody heart or core, and entirely
free from stringiness and coarseness. Color of
flesh is rich red-orange, and flavor finest.
We try to treat others as we would be treated

CHANTENAY SPECIAL ...LONG TYPE
HUTCHINSON — Like
Bagley except that it has
a greenish tinge at the
shoulder, growing slight-
ly out of ground.
SUPREME HALF
LON G— Resembles a
small refined Danvers
with short tops. Root 6
to 7 inches long, about 2
inches in diameter at
shoulder, tapering to a
half stump. Exterior
smooth, and of excellent
color. Flesh tender, sweet
and of fine flavor. Core
small and the same dark
red as the rest of the
flesh. Especially adapted
to use by market garden-
ers both for bunching
and as a basket carrot.
MORSE’S BUNCH-
IN G — All-America
Award 1934. Tops short;
foliage rather coarsely
cut; stems medium size and strong. Roots at
maturity are 114 to 114 by 8 inches in size, al-
most cylindrical with rounded shoulders, and
are well stumped. Developed as a bunching carrot for
long distance shipping. Does well in North and should
be used more by market growers.
NANTES — Stump-Rooted — Particularly desirable for
frame culture and one of the best for home garden and
early market. Tops small. Roots bright orange; 6-7
inches long, 1% inches thick; cylindrical; stump-rooted.
Flesh bright orange, of highest quality; core incon-
spicuous. Similar to much that is offered under the
term “coreless.”
IMPERATOR—All-America Selections Silver Medal
1933—Similar in size and shape to Morse’s Bunching,
with medium tops strong enough for bunching, shoul-
ders slightly rounded. Bright orange color and coreless.
NANTES STRONG TOP—A new selection developed
out of our outstanding strain of Nantes, Stump-
Rooted. Has the same general root characteristics as
Nantes, Stump-Rooted, but tops, while not noticeably
larger, are stronger and less likely to break at the
collar in pulling.

CELERY
CULTURE—Sow in drills and tread seed firmly in;
thin out to an inch apart and keep ground well worked
and free from weeds; shade young plants for a week
or ten days and do not let soil dry out. To secure stock
plants cut off tops once or twice before transplanting,
before July, after the plants have attained a height of
4 to 6 inches. One ounce of seed for 5,000 plants, 4
ounces for one acre.
TALL GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING—This
new tall strain, selected in France from Golden
Self-Blanching Celery, differs from the original
by making a decidedly heavier and taller
growth. The foliage is also quite distinct and
has been bred for disease resistance. The slen-
der heart is well blanched. It is an extra-early
variety which should be carefully tested by
celery growers to determine its adaptability to
their particular growing conditions and its mar-
ket value. Because of their taller growth, the
plants require more labor if they are blanched
with earth.
GOLDEN PLUME, OR WONDERFUL CEL-
ERY—This celery is very similar to the Golden
Self-Blanching. It is of the same color and gen-
eral appearance, but of more vigorous, sturdy
growth, forming heavy, solid stalks which
blanch quickly and are of fine quality. We have
a very fine strain which will be found equal,
if not superior, to any sold, even at much higher
prices. We advise all growers of celery to try
this strain. There are never any soft stalks and
the celery is large, vigorous and healthy, and
keeps well in storage.
8
PARIS GOLDEN SELF - BLANCHING—
Similar to the White Plume in its self-blanching
characteristics, but of a deep golden yellow
color.
GIANT PASCAL—Grows two feet high; the
stalks are very broad, thick and crisp, and of a
rich nutty flavor. The heart is golden yellow,
very full and attractive in appearance. It
blanches very easily and quickly.
CORNELL NO. 19—100 days, main crop—
Yellows Resistant—Developed by Cornell Uni-
versity, cross between Golden Self-Blanching
and Utah; combining good characteristics of
both, has the desirable green pascal features,
with the earliness of easy-blanching strains
and the outstanding quality of the famous
pascal.
The stalks are 10 to 11 inches to the joint,
smooth ribbed and rounded. The hearts are
long and well developed. The flesh is thick, ten-
der and crisp, free from strings. The hearts
have super quality and flavor.
Cornell No. 19 has proven highly successful
on both muck and upland soil, plants vigorous,
24 inches in height, are highly resistant to
fusarian wilt. :
We suggest it for main crop. We do not recom-
mend this as an early crop, as it has ten-
dency to produce seeds.
JUMBO NO. 99—Of Utah parentage, earlier,
taller and vigorous growth, height 22 to 26
inches. Large, erect, compact, full heart and
composed of many thick, rounded stalks. Edi-
ble stalks. usually 8 to 10 inches, medium, with
quite smooth outer stalks. Lighter green at
maturity, can be easily blanched to a clear,
greenish white.
MICHIGAN GOLDEN—New Strain—Devel-
oped by Michigan State Agricultural College;
resistant to fusarian wilt, bred from tall strain
Golden Self-Blanching; sealed packages only.
CELERIAC, OR TURNIP-ROOTED CEL-
ERY—Sow seed same as celery. Transplant in
rows two feet apart, six inches in the row.
Thorough cultivation is necessary to secure
good roots. Earthing-up is not necessary. Roots
may be cooked or used as salad.

WITLOOF—A delicious winter salad, eaten
usually with French dressing like cos lettuce.
The root is long like a parsnip, but the part
eaten is the top of the root, with the young

HYBRID
SWEET CORN
SENECA DAWN—6)5 days—150 kernels per
oz. A large-eared, extra-early yellow hybrid.
Stalks 414 to 5 feet, strong, upright. Ears well
up from the ground, 614 inches long, 12 to 14
rows, medium yellow, fair quality, kernels on
large cob. Heavy husk gives good coverage to
end of ear.
SENECA “60’’—62 days—150 kernels per oz.
This new hybrid is very prolific, usually pro-
ducing two and many times three ears per stalk.
The stalk is 4 to 414 feet tall. Ears 6 inches
long, slender, 8 to 10 rowed. Kernels yellow,
medium wide and fair quality. The earliest of
all hybrids. Not resistant to wilt.
SENECA 60 < C13—65 days—150 kernels
per oz. A new wilt-resistant hybrid for those
sections where bacterial wilt is prevalent. The
41% to 5-foot stalk is a vigorous grower. Ears
614 inches long, 10 to 14 rows of yellow kernels
of fair quality. A larger ear than Seneca 60
and only a few days later. |
SENECA GOLDEN—72 days—220 kernels per
oz. Stalks 514 feet tall and produce two mar-
ketable ears on practically every stalk. Ears
nearly as large as Golden Cross and well filled
clear to the tip. Kernels rich golden yellow, and
if harvested when ready are of excellent qual-
ity. Should not be used in the South where bac-
terial wilt is serious.
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM—4 to 8 days
later than Golden Bantam. Stalks averaging
614 to 7 feet, are sturdy and straight, and un-
der favorable conditions two ears are usually
produced on each stalk. The ears are about 8
inches long, 10 to 14 rowed, with tightly
wrapped husk, which makes it resistant to ear
worms. This hybrid is also noted for resistance
to Stewart’s disease and for the uniformity of
its ears. Matures in 85 days.
EARLIGOLD—The newest Hybrid developed
for critical market gardeners, who want earli-
ness, ear size, wilt tolerance, and improved
quality in a first early hybrid. Earligold ma-
tures in 72 to 75 days, which is in season with
Golden Hummer, Golden Sunshine and Golden
Early Market. It produces 12-16 rowed ears,
slightly tapering, well filled and 614 to 7
inches long. Uniformity is one of its merits.
The plants are sturdy, 5 to 514 feet tall, with
few suckers. In wilt-free sections production
of marketable ears is 10% to 30% greater, and
in wilt-infested areas 10% to 60% greater
than Golden Hummer, Golden Sunshine and
Golden Early Market.
TENDERGOLD—A top cross of Purdue Bantam or
Golden Sunshine, ears are cylindrical to slightly taper-
ing, from 7 to 8 inches long. It has 10 to 14 rows of
kernels of the high quality of Golden Bantam. It yields
more than either Golden Bantam or Golden Sunshine
and matures in 78 days, at about the same time as the
Golden Bantam. It is very resistant to Stewart’s dis-
ease, shows great uniformity of ears and produces a
large percentage of two-eared stalks.
MARCROSS C6.13—A 75-day early, yellow, wilt-re-
sistant corn. The 7-inch to 8-inch ears are borne on
sturdy, leafy stalks, 5 to 6 feet tall. The ears are
slightly tapering, containing 12 to 14 rows of delicious
golden kernels. The ears are well above the ground.
This variety, like all hybrids, is a heavy producer,
yielding 30 to 40% more marketable ears than most
open pollenated types. Its uniformity in maturing is a
great advantage to the market grower in the gathering.
NARROW GRAIN EVERGREEN—White—90 days—
A new hybrid variety developed primarily to pro-
vide growers with a late white type of heavy yield and
high quality in shape and texture of kernels. Stalks
tall and strong; ears large and well filled with 18-22
rows of narrow, deep kernels; a very promising variety.
CARMELCROSS—Yellow—79 days—A second early
variety developed by the Connecticut Experiment
Station, New Haven, for market, canning or home gar-
den use. Vigorous and heavy yielding in comparison to
its earliness. Medium sized gently tapering ears with
12-14 rows of yellow kernels.

for outdoor planting.

EGG PLANT... Continued
BLACK BEAUTY—The earliest and best of all
large-fruited egg plants. It is valuable alike to
the private planter and to the extensive grower
for market. Black Beauty produces fruits fully
as large as and ready for use ten days to two
weeks earlier than the New York Improved.
The plants branch freely near the ground, and
grow in well-rounded bushes. The grand, large
fruits are thick, of attractive form. The skin is
a rich, lustrous purplish black—the satin gloss
and rich coloring add greatly to the beauty.
The brilliant coloring is uniform over the whole
fruit and does not fade at the blossom end;
entirely free from spines or thorns.
IMPROVED NEW YORK—Best variety in
cultivation. Sure cropper and fine quality.
Plants large and vigorous; fruits large, oval
and deep purple color; flesh white and tender.

tive long oval fruit of extremely smooth, glossy black
color. Ours is an exceptionally fine stock.
KOHL RABI
CULTURE—Seed should be sown in light, rich soil as
early in spring as possible in rows 1% feet apart and
when well established thin to 6 inches apart in the row.
Plantings at intervals of ten days will give a succes-
sion until hot weather, when they will fail to grow
well. Plantings may be made the latter part of July
for fall use.
PRAGUE FORCING—Extra for Forcing—
Extremely early, with distinctly small tops.
Bulbs are of medium size, light green, or nearly
white, and of best quality for table if used
when about 2 inches in diameter.

GRAND RAPIDS, WASHINGTON STRAIN
LETTUCE
An ounce of seed will sow 250 feet of row; about 2 Ibs.
per acre,
CULTURE—Lettuce is quite hardy and may be sown
early in the spring. It thrives on rich and well-culti-
vated soil, the cabbage-heading varieties especially re-
quiring better soil than the loose leaf sorts. May also
be sown in hotbeds and transplanted after being hard-
ened by exposure to the air. An ounce will seed 400
feet of row; 3 pounds per acre.
GRAND RAPIDS FORCING, WASHING-
TON STRAIN—45 days—tThis splendid strain
is one of the favorite strains, being used by all
of the large greenhouse growers, who recom-
mend it as a superior lettuce. It was first pro-
duced by plant selection by the honored W. W.
Tracy of the Agricultural Department at
Washington. Mr. Yonker procured some from
Eugene Davis, sent him by Mr. Tracy. Mr.
Yonker, by careful plant selection, has kept it
up to its original purity. It is absolutely true to
type and is more like the original Grand Rap-
ids Forcing as it came from the hands of
Eugene Davis. Mr. Yonker is well qualified to
continue the breeding of this variety and can
be depended upon to keep it up to its present
high standard. There are very few, if any,
sports. Color is light green; heads very heavy;
leaf crisp, tender and curly; quality of the best.
We grow our stock seed in the greenhouse and
send to one of the best lettuce seed growers on
the Coast to grow the seed crop.
GRAND RAPIDS, b. s—Very early. Hardy,
disease resistant; the most widely used and
best adapted variety for greenhouse forcing.
Plants large, upright, compact and handsome;
bright solid light green; leaves large, broad,
margin much waved and frilled; very tender
and sweet when grown under glass.

LETTUCE... Continued
GRAND RAPIDS U. S. NO. 1, b. s. (Mildew
Resistant) —Developed by Dr.I.C. Jagger of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture, and is resist-
ant to mildew. About the same as Grand Rap-
ids except that the leaf margins of U. 8. No. 1
are little more deeply cut and heavily frilled;
the color a little duller and lighter green. Rec-
ommended for general planting as it stands
longer without bolting to seed than other
strains.
EARLY CURLED SIMPSON, w. s.—Early.
Also well known as ‘White Seeded Simpson.”
Very hardy and dependable; particularly popu-
lar for home gardens. Plant large, compact,
bright, light lustrous green; leaves broad,
frilled, firm, crisp, sweet and of good quality.
BLACK SEEDED SIMPSON, b. s.—Early.
Dependable in all parts of America and widely
grown in home and market gardens. Plant
large, attractive, compact, with broad, frilled,
light green leaves that are of fine, crisp texture
and splendid quality.
DARK GREEN, Cos w. s.—A medium large,
dark green variety which forms a good-sized,
well-folded head.
CORNELL NO. 456—A selection of the Im-
perial type developed by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and Cornell Experi-
ment Station. Has proved very sure heading
when grown in the East during the summer
months. Particularly adapted for growing on
muck soils. Frame and head slightly smaller
than Great Lakes and of lighter green color.
Resistant to tip burn and early bolting.
GREAT LAKES (New)—Tipburn Resistant—
New Iceberg Type for Summer Growing—This
new variety is remarkable for its ability to
stand up and produce good, hard heads even in
the hot weather of midsummer. It is highly
resistant to tipburn, heads nearly 100% under
a wide range of conditions and stands without
bolting longer than any other kind.
The plants are large and vigorous, and the
heads are of good size and attractive deep
green color. They have heavy ribs and crisp,
thick leaves that fold well over to make very
solid, hard heads. Planted in the spring, they
are ready to cut about a week later than Im-
perial 44 and will remain in condition a long
time thereafter.
Great Lakes is best adapted for upland grow-
ing. See prices at right.
NEW YORK NO. 515—This is another early-
maturing strain, but its most outstanding fea-
ture is its sure heading ability. Each plant
makes a big, solid head, slightly darker than
No. 12 and rounder. It stands fairly long with-
out bolting.
14
IMPERIAL NO. 847—A new black-seeded
strain of New York which may prove to be bet-
ter than New York No. 12. The large-framed
plants have large, rounded, medium green
heads with abundant wrapper leaves. This
strain shows high resistance to brown blight
and tipburn. Specially recommended for sum-
mer production, as well as spring and fall. Later
than New York No. 12, but stands longer.
IMPERIAL 44—High quality Iceberg for
spring or fall crop—For early spring and fall
crops, Imperial 44 is still the best Iceberg type
to grow in the East, both on muck and upland.
It is a sure heading, high quality lettuce, pro-
ducing crops that compete successfully with
western-grown Iceberg. The heads are large,
well formed and solid, and practically every
plant makes a fine head. It has considerable
resistance to tipburn and produces lettuce of
very superior quality. We highly recommend
Imperial 44 to all growers. See prices below.
NEW YORK NO. 12, w. s.—For many years
a standard “Iceberg’”’ type for market, with
solid cabbage heads, light green leaves slightly
curled on edges. Stands heat well.
IMPERIAL NO. 456—80 days—Developed
by Cornell Experiment Station as a variety
suitable for those who wish to grow head let-
tuce in July and August. Of the Imperial type,
and said to withstand high temperatures and
tipburn better than Imperial No. 44.

MUSKMELON or CANTALOUPE
HALE’S BEST NO. 36—85 days—A beauti-
ful melon; highly flavored, really good to eat.
Has proven its worth by becoming the most
popular cantaloupe with large shippers the past
several seasons. So wonderfully uniform that
it is an outstanding breeding accomplishment.
It is large, packing mostly 36’s or using the
Jumbo flat crate 12’s. Solidly netted, little if
any suture and no ribs. The rich, spicy salmon
flesh is deep, fine-grained and holds up well for
long-distance shipping. While primarily bred
for the shipping trade, its many fine qualities
make it ideal for roadside market and home
gardens. We recommend this melon to melon
growers; for North—where the seasons are
short— for South to be first on the market with
a real good cantaloupe.
SCHOONS HARDSHELL. 87 days. A new and
excellent flavored large melon. Slightly oblong
with coarse netting on a tough, hard shell, and
distinctly ribbed. Carries well to distant mar-
kets. It has bright salmon colored flesh and
the best flavor to be found. Weight 5 to 8
pounds or more.
MILDEW RESISTANT NO. 45 CANTA-
LOUPE—tThe vines of this introduction are
entirely free of any mildew and highly disease
resistant. In some fields for a comparison and
test purposes, other Rocky Ford varieties were
planted by the side of the Resistant. In these
fields the non-resistant strains were immedi-
ately killed by mildew, while the Resistant in-
tertwined with them showing no mildew in-
fection whatever. The Mildew Resistant Canta-
loupe is no longer an experiment. The produc-
tion and shipping qualities due to the fact the
No. 45 must be picked on a FULL SLIP and
will then carry to the far distant markets,
arriving in perfect condition. It has won its
fame for being the most popular of the Mildew
Resistant Strains; in other words, as a shipping
melon, it is unexcelled. The No. 45 has a thick
salmon colored flesh; is well flavored. However,
the flesh is not a fine grained, neither is the
flavor equal to that of the Improved Hale’s
Best Strains. The melon has a reasonable small
seed cavity and is perhaps one week later in
maturing than the Hale’s Best. If you want a
melon with proven shipping and carrying quali-
ties, we advise giving the Mildew Resistant No.
45 a trial the coming season.

ANDREWS-BURRI SEED ANNUAL AND PRICE LIST
HARD-SHELL GOLDEN
OSAGE—A new and excellent
flavored melon on the order of
Bender’s Surprise in general
appearance. It is valuable, espe-
cially for its hard shell, which
makes it fine for marketing, as
they will stand up better than
most varieties. Deeply ribbed,
covered with a grayish yellow
rope-like netting except for the
distinct stripes. Skin is a beau-
tiful yellow, flesh is medium in
grain, red salmon in color, and
sweet, tasty flavor. Weight
about 6 to 7 pounds.
HALE’S BEST SPECIAL
MUSKMELON or CANTALOUPE ... Continued
HONEY ROCK. 87 days. Also known as Sugar
Rock. Fruit nearly round, medium, weighs 4
pounds. Skin grey-green, covered with a coarse
netting. Flesh thick, juicy, orange-salmon, with
fine flavor. Good for home use and for shipping
to nearby markets.
NEW CANTALOUPE HARDSHELL.
BENDER—This new melon has great promise
for home gardeners and market gardeners. A
large melon, bigger than Bender with rind very
strong or hard, covered with heavy netting. It
is slate colored, turning to light yellow when
fully matured. The thick, brilliant flesh has a
very high sugar content and the texture is soft
and of delicious quality. It is claimed that it re-
sembles Oregon Delicious but with better ship-
ping qualities.
DELICIOUS (Early Bender)—83 days—An
excellent early variety of very superior quality.
Similar in general character to Bender’s Sur-
prise, but a week to 10 days earlier. Fruits
about 6 inches in diameter, with coarse netting
and quite prominent ribs. Rind solid; creamy
green at maturity. Highly recommended for
the home garden and for local markets.
HALE’S BEST SPECIAL — 8&6 days — The
earliest shipping melon of outstanding merit
for home and market garden. Fruits oval, 614
inches long by 514 inches in diameter, ribbing
indistinct; covered with heavy netting. Flesh
thick; salmon-orange; sweet aromatic flavor.
6
HALE’S BEST, JUMBO STRAIN—83 days
—A large-fruited strain of this leading variety
for local markets, preferred in some areas to
Bender’s Surprise or Tip Top. Fruits oval, 5-6
pound; ribbing somewhat prominent, heavily
netted. Flesh thick, salmon-orange, sweet and
of excellent quality; seed pocket rather large.
QUEEN OF COLORADO — 90 days — All-
America Honorable Mention. This appears to
be an improved strain of Pride of Wisconsin
and, we believe, should be considered as such.
Originally, we believe, it was the result of a
cross between Honey Rock and Hearts of Gold.
Queen of Colorado combines the tough rind and
flavor of Honey Rock with the thick flesh and
texture of Hearts of Gold. The melons are
slightly larger than Honey Rock and run more
uniform in size.
LARGE HEARTS OF GOLD—Round type or
Morrill strain—94 days—The outstanding fea-
ture of this melon is its deep golden flesh,
which is of the finest quality ; sweet, spicy, fine-
grained, and distinctly flavored. Melons medium
large, round, well netted except a narrow stripe
between narrow ribs. Very firm and ships well
for moderate distances.
ROCKY FORD—(Netted Gem)—Fruits are
small with rather large seed cavity, nearly
round, 214-pound, with very faint ribs, and
heavily covered with hard gray netting; flesh
thick, green in color, with gold tinge at the
center; juicy, spicy, and of good flavor.
ANDREWS-BURRI SEED ANNUAL AND PRICE LIST
BREAKFAST QUEEN
BREAKFAST QUEEN CANTA-
LOUPE—87 days—The best va-
riety of cantaloupes yet introduced;
no variety can claim superiority
in flavor and eating quality; flesh
thick salmon in color.
It holds up well for several days,
allowing plenty of time for mar-
keting and shipping to distant
markets. Melons solidly netted
with a very coarse gray netting,
thick salmon in color.
Picked just before frost when fully
netted, can be stored in shed or
barn to ripen and will retain its
solidity and flavor.
MUSKMELON or CANTALOUPE ... Continued
IROQUOIS MELON —New Resistant Me-
dium-Size Bender Type—This new medium-
sized melon has such uniformly fine flavor and
thick flesh that it has quickly become a great
favorite. It was developed for resistance to
fusarium wilt and is the only kind to grow on
infected soil. It is also ideal in all sections
where the Bender type is preferred but where
smaller melons are desired.
The fruits look much like Benders, with prom-
inent ribs‘and heavy netting, and they have a
thin, tough rind that stands handling and ship-
ping. The flesh is very thick, smooth, fine-
grained and sweet, and the color is an excellent
deep orange. Ripens about the same time as
Benders and the vigorous vines hold up well
till frost. Try some Iroquois this year.
ORANGE FLESH — Undoubtedly the “last
word” in the Rocky Ford type of shipping
melons and has brought the highest price in
every market shipped to. Its appealing deep
orange flesh is its distinctive characteristic.
Fruits 5-544 x 6-614 inches, weigh 214-3
pounds, thick oval to globular, no ribbing, and
abundant, fine-laced netting; skin dark green,
flesh salmon orange, medium thick, highly

ANDREWS-BURRI SEED ANNUAL AND PRICE LIST
WATERMELON
CERTIFIED SEED
The following are a few of the rules a grower
must comply with in order to qualify a field of
watermelons for CERTIFICATION. A violation
of any of these will disqualify a field regardless
of acreage.
Prior to planting we have to advise the Depart-
ment just how many acres of each variety we are
going to grow. Give location and history of pre-
vious crops. Isolation must be 4 mile distant.
We must send a sample of the seed we are going
to plant and its pedigree or history for their
approval.
A state inspector can and does inspect these
fields any time he chooses. He must inspect them
at least three times after they have set a crop
of melons. The crop itself has to meet certain
stringent requirements for qualification, such as
general excellency and vigor, purity, and cutting
qualities. Any melons removed from the field
for any purpose automatically disqualifies a field.
Promptly after harvest the seeds are recleaned
and samples are taken and state seals placed on
each bag by the State Inspector. Later if seeds
pass the required germination tests, etc., the
seals are broken by the State Inspector and
packaged under his supervision and state seals
put on each package by him.
It would indeed be difficult to set up a more
stringent set of rules to insure the quality of a
product by a concern as unassailable as a State
Department of Agriculture.
BLACKLEE-CERTIFIED
WILT RESISTANT
SIZE AND QUALITY
FINE SHIPPER
THIS MELON IS TRULY
WILT RESISTANT
BLACKLEE CERTIFIED is
oblong in shape, rind dark
green, flesh rich red, seeds
black. A very solid melon, free
from hollow centers, heavier
than any other in proportion
to size than any melon of our
acquaintance, average weight
35 to 40 pounds.
Flesh of fine texture, free from stringiness,
crisp, melting and sweet. Our trials have shown
it to be nearly 100% free from wilt.
Has a tough, thin rind, making it one of the
best of all the quality shippers.
DARLINGTON is a long-type melon weighing
up to 75 pounds, gray-green with irregular dark
strips, very similar to Georgia Rattlesnake,
rind very thin, flesh very tender, luscious,
melting with a distinct and pronounced flavor
and aroma, very high in sugar content. Seeds
white or ivory with brown smears.
Darlington is in our opinion the best of all the
melons for home and local markets, rind too
thin for shipping.
FLORIDA GIANT, OKLAHOMA CHIEF
OR CLARA LEE CERTIFIED — A large,
round melon with a black-green, shiny, glossy
rind. Has no stripe, just solid, smooth black-
green. Its flesh is blood red, tender and very
sweet. Grayish black seeds that are rather
large. Melons almost as large as Jumbo Tri-
umph, many as large as 70 and 80 pounds, and
under very favorable conditions they will grow
18
BLACKLEE CERTIFIED
to 100 pounds. The rind is very thin and tough
and they can be hauled without damage any
distance that any melon can be hauled. They
are hardy and resist drought better than any
except Kansas King. They ripen along with
Tom Watson and other mid-season melons.
SMOKY JOE—90 days—There are many
long varieties of melons but only one Smoky
Joe. A watermelon of enormous size and of the
finest shipping quality. The giant melons often
measure 28 inches long and 18 inches in diam-
eter and weigh 60 to 80 pounds each. The color
is an attractive dark green. The rind is me-
dium thick, enough to insure long keeping, and
the withstanding of rough handling during
shipping. The meat is an appealing rich red
and is delicious and sweet. It is entirely free
from hard centers and stringy flesh, and when
fully ripe will slice half an inch thick and not
break. The Smoky Joe is our own development
and introduction, a crossing of the famous
quality melons, Kleckley Sweet and Tom Wat-
son. Smoky Joe has blunt ends and more free
from necks than any other melon we know of.

lar in Midwest for shipping. Rind medium thick
and fairly strong.

WE DO OUR BEST TO
PLEASE YOU...ALWAYS
ONIONS
CULTURE—Onions do best on a rich
loam, previously cultivated for two
years. Still clay and light sand are
equally unfavorable. The land should
be highly fertilized with well-rotted
manure. Fresh stable manure has a
tendency to produce soft onions. Drill
in 4 pounds of seed per acre, % inch deep.
If sets are wanted, use 60 to 80 pounds of
seed per acre. Fifteen to 20 bushels of sets.
will plant an acre.
WHITE BUNCH—Once again we are pleased
to offer this popular white bunching onion.
This popular variety is planted very extensively
for table use or green onions, produces long,
slender onions, nearly pure white, mild and
tender. One of the best for bunching under
good conditions. It is slow to bulb, has a heavy
top that stands up well during summer months.

UTAH WHITE SWEET SPANISH — A
selection from White Spanish, larger than the
old strain, about the same in size and shape as
Utah Yellow Spanish. This outstanding, large,
mild variety under favorable conditions often
produces bulbs 4 to 414 inches in diameter and
will produce a heavy yield of perfect-shaped
white bulbs, either in upland or on muck soil.
This Utah White Spanish is an exceptional
keeper, so if you are a grower of White Onions,
don’t fail to plant this variety.
UTAH YELLOW SWEET SPANISH—Days
to maturity, 112. This excellent Utah strain of
Sweet Spanish has made a lot of money for our
customers in the past five years. It is a super-
lative development of the well-known Spanish
variety, Gigantic Gibraltar, and is very similar
to Valencia and Denia. We take special pride in
this strain of Utah Sweet Spanish because of its
beautiful appearance, its uniform globe shape
and its bright golden color. The Utah Sweet
Spanish onion is now grown over large areas in
the United States. It is one of the most attrac-
tive onions on the market and has an ex-
tremely mild flavor. Its shipping and keeping
qualities make it a great favorite in commer-
cial centers. It will ripen down very evenly.
Yields have been reported as high as 25 tons
per acre.
20
EXTRA EARLY YELLOW GLOBE—98 days—Excel-
lent semi-globe shaped and is a good yielder. It ripens
well, and under normal conditions the bulbs are ready
for market 10 days ahead of the Southport Yellow
Globe. The color is a rich deep yellow and it can be
kept in storage for a limited time.
WHITE GLOBE OR SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE
—This is considered the best of the white varieties. It
produces medium to large, handsome, fine, globe-shaped
bulbs. The flesh is fine-grained, snowy white, and of
mild flavor. It keeps very well for a white kind. The
bulbs of the white varieties should be gathered as soon
as ripe, and carefully dried under shelter away from
strong sunlight.
NEW WONDER BUNCH—Sown in the spring, this
variety produces large green onions early in the sum-
mer. It does not form a bulb. The stems are nearly
twice as large as ordinary onions and hold in eating
condition for a long time. If sown in the fall and
given a little protection, this onion will stand all winter
and produce fine, large “green” onions in the spring.
WHITE SWEET SPANISH—Nearly as large as Utah
White Spanish. Globe-shaped, small neck, skin white,
flesh firm and exceptionally mild. Splendid for use in
salads or suitable for eating without cooking. A very
heavy yielder and a fair keeper. The past season many
growers found White Sweet Spanish an excellent table
or bunching variety.
SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE—(Selected Strain)—
This onion produces very heavy yields on good soil.
The onions are of perfect globe shape and good, deep
yellow color. They are handsome onions and keep re-
markably well. This is the best shaped and best keeper
of the yellow globe onions. We have an extra selected
strain of this variety which produces onions of uni-
form globe shape and deep yellow color and with very
small necks.
WHITE PORTUGAL OR SILVERSKIN—This is a
medium-sized onion of mild flavor and with beautiful,
clear, white skin. The variety is a favorite with many
for use when young as a salad or bunching onion and
for pickling. It usually matures about ten days earlier
than White Globe and is fine for growing sets.

ALL-AMERICAN HOLLOW CROWN
CULTURE—Parsnips are usually grown in deep, rich,
sandy soil, but will make good roots in any soil which
is deep, mellow and moderately rich. Fresh manure is
apt to make the roots coarse and ill-shaped. As the
seed is sometimes slow and uneven in growth, it should
be sown as early as possible in drills 2% feet apart;
‘cover % inch deep and press the soil firmly over the
seed. Give, frequent cultivation and thin the plants to
6 inches apart in the row.
ALL-AMERICAN HOLLOW CROWN—The roots are
medium long with a broad shoulder gradually tapering
downward. The skin is very white in color and quite
smooth. It is considered the best and most productive
of the long parsnips, with fine-grained, tender and
sweet flesh. Under fair conditions it yields a tremen-
dous crop of well-shaped roots. Our seed is carefully
tested for germination and you will get a result from
your planting.

PARSLEY
CULTURE—Parsley is easily grown, only it takes sev-
eral weeks for it to come up, hence the ground where
it is sown is often covered with weeds or dug over with
the belief that the seed is no good. The seed may be
soaked several hours in warm water before sowing,
which will hasten germination. Sow it early in the
spring in rows a foot apart. It can also be used to
border beds, making a very pretty effect. One ounce
will sow a 150-foot row. A few plants can be taken up in
the fall and put in pots or boxes in a sunny window
and will continue to furnish leaves for flavorng or gar-
nishing throughout the winter.
CHAMPION MOSS CURLED—This is a vigorous,
compact growing variety, excellent for garnishing and
flavoring, and a handsome, decorative plant. The leaves
are very finely cut and so closely crisped or curled as
to resemble bunches of moss. Owing to its uniformly
fine deep green color and very attractive foliage, this
is one of the most popular sorts for both the market
and home garden.
PLAIN OR SINGLE—The leaves of this variety are
flat, deeply cut but not curled. Very desirable for flavor-
ing soups and stews and for drying. It is a favorite on
account of its very dark green leaves as well as its
hardiness of plant. The curled sorts are more extensive-
ly used for garnishing.
HAMBURG, OCR SHORT THICK ROOTED—The root
is the edible portion of this variety and resembles the
parsnip both in color and shape. The flesh is white, a
little dry and in flavor is similar to celeriac. The foliage
is practically the same as that of Plain Parsley. The
roots can be dug late in the fall and stored in sand for
winter use. They are extensively used for flavoring
soups and stews.
PARAMOUNT— Silver Medal in All-American Trials.
Plants 12 inches tall with spread of 20 inches when
properly spaced. Color unusually rich dark green;
texture more uniformly and attractively “triple
curled” than older strains. A striking variety for uni-
formity of type.

LAXTON PROGRESS
CULTURE—Sow as early as possible a few of some of
the early varieties in warm, sandy soil. The seed can
be sown in rows in a very satisfactory way. It is best
to sow in an open way with a hoe, the full width of it,
and broadcast the seed thinly in the bottom. Later
plantings should be of the wrinkled varieties, they are
better yielders, sweeter and very finely flavored. Early
varieties will mature in about 50 or 60 days, later
varieties in about 70 to 85 days.
WESTERN GIANT—This truly is a giant
podded pea of recent introduction. Its mam-
moth long, dark green pods, 514 to 6 inches
long, are slightly curved, the vines about 26
inches high, produce a bountiful crop about 73
days from planting. Unlike many varieties of
its season, the quality is rich in flavor and will
remain tender and sweet several days after
picking.
HUNDREDFOLD—This is, without doubt, the
very best dwarf pea ever grown. It is the best-
flavored and the largest-podded dwarf-growing
sort in existence. It is ready about three days
after the earliest sorts, and bears an enormous
crop of handsome, intensely dark green, fairly
broad and pointed pods, 4 inches long, contain-
ing about 8 large, dark green peas of excellent
quality. The vines are 16 inches high, sturdy,
and resist heat well.
22
THOMAS LAXTON—Days to maturity, 73. A
variety having been originated in England by
Mr. Thomas Laxton of Bedford, a noted Eng-
lish horticulturist. This pea is hardy and slight-
ly earlier than Gradus and a more abundant
yielder. The pods resemble Gradus in shape,
excepting that they are blunt-ended. They will
attain a length of 414 inches. They are straight,
inclined toward roundness and are well filled.
The vines will grow to a height of 30 inches.
WORLD’S RECORD—56 days—Seed wrin-
kled, large, cream and green color. Pods are
pointed, about 4 inches long, and broad. An
early type of the celebrated Gradus, very fre-
quently used as an early Gradus. Height of vine
24 to 30 inches, light green. Fine, showy, sin-
gle pods, with 7 or 8 peas in each. Vines me-
dium heavy. A wonderful, early pea for market
and home gardener.
LAXTON’S PROGRESS—A new variety of
great merit and popularity. The pods are large,
4 to 414 inches long, and of a fine dark green
color. Vines grow only 18 to 20 inches high, and
bear a heavy crop of handsome pods. Being
one of the earliest of the sweet wrinkled sorts,
Laxton’s Progress is in great demand every-
where. Matures in about 55 to 58 days.
LITTLE MARVEL—Days to maturity, 60. The
vines of this variety will grow to a height of
15 inches, producing pods 234 to 3 inches in
length. This variety resembles the Nott’s Ex-
celsior in vines, habit of growth and quality.
The pods are considerably longer, very often
being produced in pairs, and are straight,
slightly broader than Nott’s Excelsior.
ALDERMAN—A very fine pea for main crop.
Height of vine about 4 feet. Yields more than
almost any other variety. The pods resemble
Telephone, but are larger, deeper green and
better filled, while the vines are of more robust
growth and more prolific. It is really an im-
proved Telephone and the best of this type.
The pods are immense, often 5 inches long and
contain 8 to 10 large peas. Matures medium
late.

PEPPER
PRIDE OF THE MARKET
PRIDE OF THE MARKET—Pride of the Market Pep-
per is of the California Wonder type, but 10 to 12
days earlier. Its earliness and productiveness warrant
it first place among the heavy-meated varieties. The
plants are sturdy, upright and of medium size with
dark green, abundant foliage and broad leaves that
well protect the pods. There is possibly a smaller per-
centage of four-lobe peppers than in the older Cali-
fornia Wonder types.
The fruits are borne upright, of medium width and
averaging 3 to 3% inches in length. The color when
young is an intense dark green, changing to a beautiful
scarlet when ripe. The walls are very thick and the
flesh entirely sweet, making it outstanding. Also ex-
cellent as an early red pepper where red peppers are
in demand. As Pride of the Market is early in matur-
ing with medium plants, it is especially suited to North-
em growing conditions.
To any grower who wants a very early, thick-fleshed,
smooth, solid pepper, 90% blight-resistant, desirable
for local, or hauling to distant markets, we recommend
Pride of the Market.
XXX CALIFORNIA WONDER—An earlier
and more productive strain of California Won-
der developed by line breeding. Fruits blocky,
smooth, with thick, mild, sweet flesh. Plants
shorter and stockier than California Wonder,
but fruits are set earlier and more abundantly.
An outstanding strain unsurpassed for ship-
ping or for the home and market garden.
OZARK GIANT—A large and heavy yielding South-
ern strain of the Giant type. Fruits similar in shape to
Chinese Giant but smoother, mostly 4-lobed and of
large size, 44% by 4 inches, medium weight.
YELLOW SWEET BANANA — (Sweet) — Attractive
yellow variety producing fruits 4 to 4% inches long
and 2% inches through at shoulder. Color light waxy
yellow when at best picking stage, becoming bright
scarlet when fully ripe. Plants vigorous growing and
productive. Flesh sweet but shows some pungency.
YELLOW SWEET BULL NOSE—The largest yellow
pepper. Skin golden yellow, flesh thick and bright yel-
low. Very mild and sweet. Of about the same shape as
Bull Nose.
YELLOW HOT HUNGARIAN—(Hot)—Very early.
Very desirable for home, market garden and canning.
Plants small; heavily productive. Fruits 6-7 inches long,
2 inches thick, tapered; smooth; waxy light yellow, be-
coming bright red; flesh thick and pungent.
CALWONDER—This new variety is an earlier, more
prolific type of California Wonder. In season it is
practically as early as Early Giant. The plants are
exceptionally vigorous, of a somewhat spreading or
branching habit of growth, and produce an enormous
crop of fruit, beginning early in the season and con-
tinuing over a long period. The fruits are very similar
in shape to California Wonder, but are slightly smaller,
and have the thick walls and superior quality of Cali-
fornia Wonder. A most desirable variety for market
and shipping.
SUNNYBROOK—The deep scarlet peppers.
are somewhat like a flattened tomato, 3 inches
across and 2 inches deep, and come in clusters
of 4 or 5 sturdy, compact, 18-inch, heavily la-
den plants. The thick flesh is mild and sweet.

are vigorous and upright fruits, nearly as large as
Ozark Giant, 41%x4 inches in diameter, flesh medium
thick, deep green, very prolific, often as much as 25
to 30 large peppers per plant.
Ozark Wonder is the most prolific of all large peppers.

BRIGHT SCARLET GLOBE SPECIAL
GREENHOUSE IMPORTED STOCK—
(Transplanted Stock)—-We offered a Special
Greenhouse Stock of Scarlet Globe' Radish a
few years ago which has made many friends.
Last year we offered an improved stock of this
type. In addition to an earlier maturity, this
strain is much improved in color, which is a
rich brilliant scarlet, approaching the Saxa
color. Its main advantage is the unsurpassed
quality. Crisp as no other radish, thin-skinned
and much longer standing before becoming
pithy. This improved strain is one of our new
introductions of ‘Quality Radishes.”
RESELECTED SCARLET GLOBE (Im-
ported)—Standard Type No. 1—Grown from
carefully selected transplanted roots. A perfect
strain, result of individual plant selection. Sur-
prisingly uniform, color brightest scarlet, shape
perfect, well-rounded bottom, with thin taproot.
Tops are of medium size and uniform. Flesh
pure white, crisp and of fine flavor. It remains
very long in prime condition. Fine for market.
European grown.
CAVALIER—A highly colored and very attractive
variety for all purposes, and especially for shipping.
Tops small; roots oblong-globe, slightly longer than
broad, very firm and of bright almost true scarlet color.
Especially adapted for forcing and growing on muck
land.
ANDREWS-BURRI SEED ANNUAL AND PRICE LIST
RADISH .. . Continued
ICICLE—A splendid long variety of almost trans-
parent whiteness. Produces nice roots in 22 days from
the date of sowing, and it continues in prime condition
for a long period. It is much the most popular sort of
the entire list. There is no variety that grows more
uniform in type.
WHITE STRAUSBURG—Handsome, oblong and taper-
ing, both skin and flesh being pure white. Flesh is firm,
brittle and tender and retains its crispness even if old
and large. Excellent for summer use. Very popular
because it remains fit for use a long time and does not
get pithy.
ICICLE MUCK-SOIL STRAIN—This is a very highly
selected strain and excels all others we have ever ob-
served. The roots are remarkably uniform and perfect-
ly shaped. The tops in this strain are short and com-
pact, but when grown on muck soil they reach just the
ideal size for easy bunching and basketing.
EARLY SCARLET GLOBE—(Short Top)—This is a
very fine, short-top strain, equally valuable for forcing
and for outdoor growing, especially on muck. The small
tops are ideal for bunching and the olive-shaped roots
are rich bright scarlet in color. The flesh is clear white
and firm. A very uniform stock which we can recom-
mend highly.
WINTER VARIETIES
ROUND BLACK SPANISH—Grows to a large size;
very solid.
CALIFORNIA WHITE MAMMOTH— One of if not the
largest radish. Often a foot or more in length. Firm
flesh and keeps perfectly.
LONG BLACK SPANISH WINTER—Oblong, or very
large size and firm texture, with dark green leaves. Is
sown earlier than fall turnips and should be stored in
cellar for winter use.
CHINESE ROSE WINTER—A bright scarlet winter
variety. About 4 inches long and stump-rooted. Like
Chinese White Winter, only red colored and two weeks
earlier. ;
RHUBARB or Pie Plant
GIANT VICTORIA—Rhubarb, also known as Pie
Plant, or Wine Plant, is the earliest spring vegetable
and is grown for its leaf stalks, which are extensively
uses for pies and sauce. Rhubarb succeeds best in deep,
somewhat retentive soil and the richer this is and the
deeper it is stirred, the better. Sow in drills an inch
deep and thin out the plants to 6 inches apart. In the
fall transplant into very highly manured and deeply
stirred soil. Stalks should not be pulled or cut until
second year.

SALSIFY or OYSTER PLANT
CULTURE—One of the most desirable winter vege-
tables, and one which deserves to be more used. Be-
fore sowing, the soil must be stirred to considerable
depth. Sow early and quite deep. Frost does not hurt
the roots, but a quantity should be stored for winter
in a pit or cool cellar before the ground freezes. An
ounce will sow 75 feet; 8 to 10 pounds per acre.
MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND—This variety is
less liable to branch than most varieties, but coarse or
fresh manure should not be used if smooth roots are
wanted. We grow this seed ourselves for critical cus-
tomers.

cellent in salads, or cooked like spinach. The flavor of
the green leaf is slightly sour, hence often called Sour

LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE
CULTURE—Sow the seed in good, rich ground free
from acid, 1 inch deep, in rows a foot apart. The fast
bolting or quick-growing types may be sown very early
in the spring or from August 15 until frost. The slow
bolting types may be sown during the season when it is
impractical to sow the early types. An ounce will sow
100 feet; 8 to 10 pounds per acre in drills. (If broad-
cast, sow 12 to 15 pounds per acre.) Matures in from
45 to 55 days.
HOLLANDIA — 45 days—The very hardy,
prickly seeded variety commonly used for mar-
ket and canning in California. The leaves are
smooth, large, thick and dark green.
GIANT THICK LEAVED— (Nobel) —43 days
—(Round Seeded)—Decidedly the best of the
round seeded, thick leaved group. Because of
the enormous yield, long standing character,
and the deep green color and smooth character
of the leaves, this is highly reeommended for
canning as well as for home and market gar-
den. Leaves very large, thick, broad arrow-
shaped with rounded tip.
26
LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE—45 days
—(Round Seeded)—In demand for home and
market gardens because of the uniform, hand-
some plants and remarkable long standing qual-
ity. Resembles Savoy Leaved or Bloomsdale,
but is a trifle later, or more compact habit, a
trifle darker green, and remains free of flower
stalks about two weeks longer.
OLD DOMINION — (Blight Resistant) — 40
days—A cross between Virginia Blight-Resist-
ant Savoy and King of Denmark. Large, dark
green, heavily crumpled leaves. Long standing
and resistant to mosaic. Used mostly for an
early crop.
BLOOMSDALE DARK GREEN, RE-
SELECTED—40 days—(Round Seeded)—The
standard very early sort for home and market
garden. Plants upright and compact, attain
height of 10-12 inches and spread of 12-15
inches. Leaves large; blistered and crumpled;
rich, deep, glossy green; of splendid quality.
KING OF DENMARK — 48 days — (Round
Seeded)—Extremely long standing, smooth,
dark green leaved sort for home and market
garden as well as for canning. Plants large and
spreading, with large, thick leaves that are only
slightly crumpled. Spring sown crops are very
often free of flower stalks until midsummer.
HARLEM MARKET OR PRESTO—36 days—Recom-
mended especially for use at seasons when ordinarily
you would sow Reselected Bloomsdale or Blight-Re-
sistant Savoy. It resembles the Savoy or Bloomsdale
varieties in appearance, but is hardier, earlier and
quicker growing. In fact, it grows so quickly that it
can be cut and off the ground before other varieties.
The seed is prickly.
NEW ZEALAND—70 days—Absolutely distinct in
form, color and habit from other spinach—it is not a
spinach, though used as a spinach. Foliage thick, succu-
lent, dark green, never sunburns, a true heat resistant,
leaves covered with water globules like an ice-plant.
Later to mature for table spinach of usual form, but
remaining in edible condition ten times as long. Plants
remain in edible condition from July until killed by
front. A sort to “cut and come again.”
VIRGINIA SAVOY-LEAVED BLIGHT RESISTANT
—This robust variety is especially valuable for its
blight-resisting quality. The large, dark green leaves
of good substance are savoyed and crumpled. It is best
suited for late crop and the seed should not be sown
before the latter part of August, as the plants have a
great tendency to bolt to seed if sown earlier.

SQUASH
DENNING’S BLACK STRAIN WARTED HUBBARD
CULTURE—Make ground very rich. Sandy loam is
best. Seed should not be planted until warm weather.
Allow 4x4 feet for hills for bush squashes and 8x8
feet for running varieties. Four plants to hill; 3 to 4
pounds of seed to the acre. For summer squashes esti-
mate 2 ounces to 100 hills; winter squashes 4 ounces
to 100 hills.
DENNING’S BLACK STRAIN WARTED
HUBBARD — Denning’s Warted Hubbard
Squash has been bred to meet the requirements
of a high-class trade; fruits are of large size,
rough skin, dark green in color. For producers
on a large scale, these qualities are needed. Our
strain is ideal for the home market, vines are
of strong, robust growth, fruit is large, grand
shape, heavily warted, flesh is bright orange,
fine grained, rich and dry.
XXX BLUE HUBBARD—A new variety ob-
tained by selection from the original Hubbard.
The fruit is of a gray-blue color, grows much
larger than Hubbard and keeps remarkably
well as the shell is extremely hard. The quality
is equal to or even better than the original
Hubbard. The shape and appearance of this
squash is ideal. Market gardeners find an in-
creasing demand for this variety.
IMPROVED OR LARGE TABLE QUEEN—
The demand for this large size Table Queen
squash is growing by leaps and bounds because
growers find it the most profitable kind to grow.
The fruit have the true pointed acorn shape
but are larger than the regular Table Queen,
measuring about 6-7 inches long and 5 inches
across. There is always a ready market for
these attractive dark green squash and the big
vines yield tremendous crops.
EARLY PROLIFIC CROOKNECK—50 days—Very
popular in the South, where squashes are picked young,
Plants very prolific. Fruits curved at neck, light yel-
low, warted.
EARLY PROLIFIC STRAIGHTNECK—50 days (All-
America Award)—New high-yielding summer squash,
earlier than Giant Summer Straightneck. Plants strictly
bush and compact with ample foliage, permitting close
planting. Fruits straight, smooth, and of delicate
creamy color; firm and usable when only 4 to 5 inches
long and until 12 to 14 inches long. Quality unsurpassed.
Suitable for home and market garden and for shipment.
EARLY WHITE BUSH SCALLOP—50 days—Standard
scallop squash for home and market garden. Fruits
uniform, round, attain 9 inches diameter, flattened,
with scalloped margins; smooth; greenish-white when
young, white when mature.
BUTTERCUP—100 days—Developed by Prof. A. F.
Yeager at North Dakota Agricultural College. Shape
similar to that of Turban, 34%4-pound. Rind thin and
tough, dark green with narrow gray stripes and slight
mottling. Orange flesh cooks sweet and dry. A small,
thick-flesh squash of good storage and eating quality.
ZUCCHINI GREY—60 days—A _ well-known Italian
Marrow type. Fruits very nearly cylindrical, straight.
Color medium green, mottled with cream-gray and
lighten green lace pattern and stripes; flesh very firm,
and of delicate flavor.
BLACK ZUCCHINI—62 days—Developed from Italian
Marrow; notably popular in the West and South. Fruits
are cylindrical, long, smooth, dark green-black; flesh
greenish white at eating stage and of good flavor.
GIANT HUBBARD—This is an improvemeent over the
original Warted Hubbard. It is nearly twice as large,
ideal for hotels and restaurants, rather large for family
use. If your market demands a large squash, plant
Giant Hubbard.

TURNIPS
CULTURE—Sow early varieties in April, in drills
12 to 18 inches apart. Cover seed % inch and thin
out to 4 to 6 inches in the row. Cultivate fre-
quently. For succession, sow at intervals until
the last week in May. For fall and winter crop,
sow in July or August in drills or broadcast. Use
1 ounce to 250 feet of drill; 1 pound per acre in
drills or 14% pounds broadcast.
EXTRA-EARLY PURPLE TOP MILAN
—This splendid new turnip is the earliest
in cultivation. The bulbs are flat, medium
size, smooth, and free from rootlets, with
thin and crisp white flesh of excellent
flavor. The upper portion of the bulb is a
rich purple, while the lower half is pure
white.
PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE — The
bulb measures 3 inches and more in diam-
eter, being of perfectly globe form; the
upper portion is of rich purplish red, and
the lower half is clear, creamy white.
Flesh white, firm and crisp, of mild flavor.
It is an excellent keeper, and being so pro-
ductive, is one of the best to grow for
stock feeding. The plants, being of such
large, strong growth, should be thinned
more severely than with small early sorts.
This variety is very extensively used for
market growing.
XXX PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE—Ow-
ing to the great amount of care and labor in-
volved in making this the best strain on the
market, we are obliged to ask a higher price
than for the ordinary stock. However, the bet-
ter price you will obtain for these extra fine
turnips will more than offset the small increase
in cost. Its particular feature is its very bright
red top which goes well down on the root. It is
a quick-growing type, with fine-flavored white
flesh. Keeps well for such an early variety.
RUTABAGA
NECKLESS—A new introduction of special
merit. It is globe-shaped, color bright yellow
with clear purple top, very smooth and practi-
cally free from any neck.
AMERICAN PURPLE TOP—Days to matur-
ity, 90. This type of rutabaga has been grown
in this country for a hundred years. The Amer-
ican strain is a selection from the older English
type. It has been selected for a smaller top and
shorter neck than is usually found in England.
The roots are globular, but grow to a large size
and are of splendid quality. Excellent for table
use or stock feeding.

SUPER BREAK O’DAY
TOMATO
One ounce will produce 2,000 plants; 4 ounces sufficient
to transplant an acre.
CULTURE—This delicious vegetable is one of the most
important of all garden products. The seed should be
sown in a hotbed about the first week in March, in
drills 5 inches apart and 4% inch deep. When the plants
are about 2 inches high, they should be set out 4 to 5
inches apart in another hotbed, or removed into small
pots, allowing a single plant to a pot. Whenever danger
from freezing is past, the plants may be set out in the
open ground. Sufficient plants for a small garden may
be started by sowing a few seeds in a shallow box or
flower pot and placing it in a sunny window.
BO-KAY CERTIFIED— (86 days from plant-
setting time)-—-We are sincere in our belief
that this tomato is an outstanding main crop
variety. It is wilt resistant, and trials show it
to be almost free from checks or cracks. It is a
very heavy cropper, and is large and smooth
with dark red color inside and out. Its strong,
heavy foliage makes it a valuable variety for
planting on light soil. Also good for greenhouse
forcing and staked or field growing.
SUPER BREAK O’DAY—This new Break
O’Day must not be confused with the older
type, as it has all the good qualities of the old
with much more added. The vine has larger
stems than the Break O’Day, and the foliage
is much larger and more abundant. The vines
stand up better than the Break O’Day and the
additional foliage protects the fruit from sun
scald. The fruits are globe shaped with no flat
sides. Is as large as the Break O’Day with bet-
ter outside color. The internal structure is very
solid and meaty, and is a much darker red
color than the older type. Ten to fifteen tons of
fruit per acre is not an unusual yield for this
variety. The crop matures about the same time
as the old Break O’Day, which is about 68 days
from setting plants desirable as field stake or
for greenhouse growing.
SUPER PURPLE KING—85 days—A second-
early, smooth, pink-fruited variety. It is very
similar to Globe. Fruits are globe-shaped, high-
crowned, medium sized, and perfectly smooth;
very solid and meaty, and has a thick skin.
They set in clusters of from 5 to 7. Vines make
a good growth and have rather heavy-cut fo-
liage. Unsurpassed by any other shipping va-
riety. Should be staked. Vines long, somewhat
resistant to wilt.
KING OF THE STAKERS—A many-purpose
variety, extra early and smooth, medium
large—Fruits are large, smooth, globe-shaped,
bright scarlet and unusually free from cracks.
Highly resistant to fusarium wilt. Very pro-
ductive. We recommend it as a staked or un-
staked tomato for fields in sections where to-
matoes are subject to sun scald. As early as
Earliana. Has normal vine coverage. Also very
satisfactory as a greenhouse tomato, one grow-
er reporting a 25% heavier yield than four
other varieties.
FIRESTEEL—A very large-fruited tomato,
globe-shaped and scarlet red in color. It is not
affected by hot weather as much as other va-
rieties and is very productive. The fruit is
smooth, and very uniform, remarkably free
from cracking at the stem end. Maturity 60 to
70 days.
BONNY BEST—Unexcelled as a general pur-
pose tomato; very valuable for forcing under
glass and as a canning and shipping variety in
northern sections. Fruits handsome; evenly
colored bright deep scarlet-red; medium large;
flattened globe-shape; smooth and firm.
RUTGERS CERTIFIED—72 Days—A devel-
opment introduced by the New Jersey Agricul-
tural Experiment Station. Fruits medium to
large, similar in shape to Marglobe but slightly
more flattened. Highly recommended as a sec-
ond early maturing variety for canning and to-
mato juice.
CARDINAL—A recent introduction highly recom-
mended for canners and market gardeners. Strong dark
green foliage. Fruits large, semi-globe shaped. Color
rich scarlet with fine, deep interior color. Excellent
flavor. A main crop variety maturing somewhat earlier
than Stone.
DWARF CHAMPION—Strictly dwarf and tree-like;
requires no training to permit culture where space is
limited. Fruits purplish-pink; flattened globe shape;
medium size.
DWARF STONE-—Strictly dwarf and tree-like; re-
quires no training to permit culture where space is
limited. Fruits bright red, flattened globe shape, a trifle
over medium size.
SUPER EARLIANA—Particularly valuable for home
garden and early market. Our strain is definitely supe-
rior in earliness and quality. Fruits medium size; flat-
tened globe shape; deep scarlet-red; firm and smooth.

KING OF THE STAKERS
TOMATOES... Continued
GULF STATE MARKET SUPREME—A su-
perb strain. Bred for large size, attractive color
and abundant yield. For markets where a pur-
plish-pink tomato is desired, this strain can be
recommended as the most satisfactory variety
available. The seed we offer is all grown with
the most exacting care.
STOKESDALE CERTIFIED—A second early
scarlet-fruited variety maturing about a week
earlier than Marglobe. Plant rather open in
habit with medium heavy foliage. Fruits large,
globe or sub-globe, smooth and well colored.
Recommended for both canners and shippers,
particularly where length of growing seeason is
less than average.
MARGLOBE CERTIFIED—We offer a most
superb strain of this splendid type in point of
earliness, uniformity, and general desirability ;
particularly valuable for shipping; definite dis-
ease resistance recommends this variety for use
in sections infested with Fusarium Wilt and
Nail-head Rust. Plants thrifty and heavily pro-
ductive of long-bearing period. Fruits uniform
deep scarlet; large, uniformly globe-shaped;
smooth, solid and of distinct quality.
SIOUX— A new tomato developed from All Red
x Stokesdale at the Nebraska Experiment Sta-
tion. Plant relatively open, with finely-divided
leaves; fruits of medium size, almost globular,
thick-walled and practically free from hard core,
juicy with good acid flavor. This variety pos-
sesses the uniform ripening factor.
MARBORN, SPECIAL SELECTION—68 days
—Probably a cross between Bonny Best and
Margilobe, as it is between these two varieties
in appearance. Its favorable features are earli-
ness, size, globular shape, interior color and
solidly. Ripens from the inside out. Intense
scarlet in color. The producer predicts that it
may replace such tomatoes as Earliana, Bonny
Best and John Baer. Give Marbon a good test.
*& IF IT’S SOMETHING ABOUT SEEDS
YOU’D LIKE TO KNOW, WRITE US.
It is possible that you will like it better than
other early varieties you have used. Similar to
Stokesdale.
VALIANT CERTIFIED—This variety is be-
coming very popular with market gardeners.
A half-brother of Stokesdale, it develops a deep
Marglobe type tomato and ripens within 3 days
of Earliana. It is 4 days earlier and often 2
ounces heavier than Stokesdale. A valuable
tomato for market but not primarily adapted
as a canner. Our sales have steadily increased
on this variety.
