TERMS OF SALE

We Give No Warranty, express or implied, as to purity,
description, quality, productiveness or any other matter
of any Seeds, Bulbs, or Plants we send out, and we will
not be in any way responsible for the crop.

Send Cash with the Order. This can be done either
in the form of a Money Order, Bank Draft, Express Order,
Registered Letter, or cash may be sent by express. Remit-
tances sent in any other way are entirely at the sender’s
risk. Small amounts may be sent in postage stamps.

Sign Your Name. Name and address should be
written as plainly as possible and care exercised to have
Postoffice, County and State in full. If your express
office or freight depot has a different name from your
postoffice, give that also. This is very important, as we
cannot send goods if we do not know where to send them.

Notice Carefully the Prices. Be sure to know
whether we or you are to pay the freight or express, and
bear in mind that we do not pay the express or freight
charges on pecks or bushels, nor on any tools or plants,
nor on potatoes, grass seeds, field seeds or fertilizers,
except where we so state on the pages where the goods are
priced.

In Case of Delay, Write Us. It sometimes happens
that an order is lost in coming to us, or the goods in going
to the customer. Therefore, if any who order do not hear
from us within a l’easonable length of time, they
should send a duplicate order, naming the date on
which the former one was sent, and the amount of
money enclosed, and in what form. This will
enable us to investigate the matter and fill the
duplicate order quickly.

Use the Order Sheet. In each copy of our
catalogue we place an order sheet. It will aid us
greatly if you will make your order out upon it,
using one line for each article ordered, and as far
as possible write them in the way they are cata-
logued, beginning at the front. We will gladly
furnish you additional order sheets if you write for
them.

Order Early. We are prepared to fill your order
as soon as this catalogue reaches you. So please
order early. You will aid us and get quicker service
by doing this.

We Pay Postage or Expressage on all seeds
quoted by the packet, ounce, quarter pound and
pound, also on pints and quarts of Peas, Beans and
Sweet Corn, and on plants and bulbs except where
noted otherwise, and upon all goods quoted in our
catalogue where it says: Prepaid by mail or
Express.

We Aim to Give Satisfaction. We make our
catalogue as plain as possible, both as to descrip-
tions and illustrations.

The Prices We Quote on vegetable and flower

seeds will hold good as long as stocks last. The
prices on grass seed, grains and all farm seeds are those ruling January 1, 1915, and are subject to
change. As far as possible we will fill in full orders for seeds that are quoted subject to variation in
price, but if market values will not permit this, we will send all that money remitted will pay for.

LEONARD VEGETABLE SPECIALTIES

Leonard’s Snowball Cauliflower

The leading Cauliflower at Chicago and unquestionably the purest strain of “Snowball’- Cauliflower seed
to be had. Heads uniform; of desirable market size and of snowy whiteness.

After a score of years competitive tests it is pronounced by expert cauliflower growers to be the best for
both early and late planting. Successful frame growers of cauliflower say that under glass culture our
Snowball outclasses any strain of cauliflower seed known to them. There are many expert cauliflower
growers at Chicago, none better anywhere that we are aware of. Other strains of snowball seed are well
known to them and this strain of ours is their favorite for early, for late and for forcing. Strong recom-
mendations surely.

LEONARD’S SNOWBALL CULIFLOWER

The three heads shown above are the average of this year’s crop grown by Benj. Dykstre. This cauli-
flower gets the blue ribbon prize at all exhibitions, and it brings more money per dozen heads on the market
than any other Snowball strain. —

Pkt. 15c, oz. $2.00. 14 lb. $8.00. y% lb. $16.00. lb. $32.00. Postpaid.

LEONARD VEGETABLE SPECIALTIES

Leonard’s Dry Weather Cauliflower

This is a worthy companion to our famous Snowball and a stock that is particularly recommended for the
dry season. The heads are large of snowy whiteness and uniform. It does well for either early or late
planting and although recommended for a dry season it does equally well in all seasons. The photograph
here shows two average heads of this years crop. Heads of this strain of cauliflower always take first prize
wherever shown. Pkt. 15c. oz. $2.00. 34 lb. $8.00, % lb. $‘6. 00, lb. $32.00. Postpaid.

LEONARD’S DRY WEATHER CAULIFLOWER

Holland Cabbage, short stem strain

This strain of Holland
Cabbage differs from the
original Leonard Strain
in the height of the stem
only. In all other re-
spects It is the same. It
has been bred up to meet
the requirements of the
grower who works heavy
rich land. The long
stem of the origin il
strain in extra heavy
soil has been thought to
be something of a fault
and the growers have
been calling for a stock
that would retain all the
good points of the origi-
nal with the additional
advantage of dwarfer
habit.

Oz. 25c, 34 lb. 85c,

^ lb. $1.50, lb. $3.00.
Postpaid.

LEONARD VEGETABLE SPECIALTIES

LEONARD’S WINTER CABBAGE

(East Prairie Stock)

This new cabbage originated in that part of the Niles Center trucking region known as the East Prairie,
which is one of the best cabbage growing sections of Chicago.

It is a direct cross of the Leonard Luxemberg and the Leonard Strain of Holland and combines the good
points of both. It has the shorter stem and more lasting color of the Luxemberg with the rounder head of
the Holland. The combination gives a cabbage that is superior to either.

LEONARD’S WINTER (EAST PRAIRIE STOCK.)

This is a grand cabbage for winter storage. It is also fine for kraut cutting and for fall shipping.

Oz. 25c, lb. 85c, y2 lb. $1.60, lb. $3.00. Postpaid.

LEONARD’S GLOBE ONIONS

LEONARD’S RED GLOBE

Leonard’s Red Globe. The deep dark
red color of our Red Globe is one of its
superior points, while in shape and size
it is a counterpart ol our Popular Yel.
low Globe.

Lb. $1.50, 5 lbs. $7.00, 10 lbs. $13.50
Postpaid,

LEONARD’S WHITE GLOBE

Leonard’s White Globe. White

skinned onions when successfully grown
are by all means the handsomest and
will usually bring more money per
bushel than either of the other colors.

Lb. $2.00. 5 lbs. $9.00, 10 lbs. $17.50
Postpaid.

LEONARD’S YELLOW GLOBE

Leonard’s Yellow Globe. This Onion
is our prize yellow market variety. It is
the most uniform as to size, the most
productive, the best keeping and the
handsomest yellow-skinned Globe va.
riety we have ever known .

Lb. $1.75, 5 lbs. $8.50. 10 lbs. $16.00.

FERTILIZERS— Net Cash.

Market Price

It is unnecessary to tell our customers that Chicago is recognized as headquarters for
commercial fertilizer. For varieties, see descriptive list in back of book. Write for prices.

We call attention to our NARROW GRAIN EVERGREEN SWEET CORN, Illus-
trated on pages 48 and 49. It will be noted that this new type is a great advance
over any other stock of the Evergreen varieties of Sugar Corns.

There are other Narrow Grained types being offered. We wish to state plainly
that the Leonard type of Narrow Grain is much in advance of these, and that any
Narrow Grained type of Evergreen that does not bear the Leonard prefix has not
had the proper selection thus far, and is several years behind in development.

ARTICHOKE

Green Globe
Artichoke

Artichoke Jerusalem

The Globe Artichoke is cultivated for its flower-heads, which are cooked
like asparagus. Plants set in any good soil, with slight covering in winter, will
remain in bearing several years.

Large Green Globe. The standard variety.

Jerusalem. This variety is not
produced from seed, but is culti-
vated for its tubers which are
especially valuable for stock feeding
on account of their fattening
properties; they are well adapted to
any soil where corn and potatoes can
be grown.

ASPARAGUS

(Asparagus Seed)

Columbian Mammoth
White. A new and entirely
distinct variety, that produces
shoots that are white, and
remain white as long as fit for
use.

Conover’s Colossal. The

standard variety; of large size,
tender and of excellent quality.

Barr’s Mammoth. The stalks are very large, frequently one inch in
diameter, with few scales; the stalks retain their thickness completely up to
the top of the shoots, and have close, round heads.

Palmetto. It is of very large size, even and regular in growth and appear-
ance. It is a very early sort, and immensely productive and of the best quality.

Giant Argenteuil. Is a selection from imported French Argenteuil
stock. An improvement upon the original. In the south it is regarded as
distinctly superior to Palmetto. One experienced grower says that Argenteuil
is as much larger than Palmetto as Palmetto is larger than Conover.

Bonvallet’s Giant. Becoming very popular with large growers. Pre-
ferred by many over all other kinds.

ASPARAGUS PLANTS

Asparagus Roots can be supplied from November 1st to May 1st, but the
best time for planting in the North is in the early spring.

Columbian Mammoth White. 2-year-old roots.

Conover’s Colossal. 2-year-old roots.

Barr’s Mammoth. 2-year-old roots.

Palmetto. 2-year-old roots.

EXTRA EARLY RED VALENTINE

Bountiful Beans. This new, green podded Bush Bean is a
heavy cropper and very early, of fine shape, stringless, and good
quality. Its hardiness and great productiveness make it one of
the very best Bush Beans.

Tennessee Green Pod. This dwarf snap bean, although new
to the Seed Trade, has for several years been grown in the South,
and wherever known is freely spoken of in terms of highest praise.
Vine prolific, foliage dark green with leaves large and crumpled.
Pods long, flat, irregular in shape, bright green and of most excellent
quality. Seed medium size, oval, flat, yellowish brown in color.

Extra Early Red Valentine. Hardy, pods fight green, and
semi-transparent, round and slightly curved. Succulent, prolific,
and quite free from strings, continuing long in an edible condition;
46 days from planting to first picking.

Long Yellow Six Weeks. The Anne is large, \ngorous, branching
and productive, with large leaves. Pods long, straight, thick, flat
in shape, green in color, of good quality when young and fair as they
near maturity. Is ready for picking 45 days from planting.

Round Yellow Six Weeks. Very similar to Long Yellow Six
Weeks as to vine, with pods shorter and much more thick and
fleshy, about one week later, being ready for table 57 days from
planting. Seed round, yelloAvish drab with a slightly darker mark-
ing about the eye.

Early Mohawk. One of the oldest and best known sorts. The
pod is green, thick, flat in shape, of fair quality, developing a slight
string as it matures. Is ready to pick 48 days from planting, and
will resist a slight degree of frost very successfully.

Black Valentine. This excellent variety is a great improve-
ment over the old standard early Red Valentine, being one-third
longer than that variety with pods perfectly round and straight and
of excellent quality. It also has the additional advantage of being
suitable for both early and late planting and is extremely hardy.
It will withstand early and late frost, is an excellent shipper, a large
yielder, and of very handsome appearance.

LONGFELLOW BEAN

Longfellow. This new bean has long green
pods, is exceedingly prolific, always solid, a
delicious flavor, is tender and remarkably early.
It matures its crop very regularly and with-
stands adverse conditions well. A good bean
for market or home use.

Burpee’s Stringless Green Pod. This new
bean produces a vine similar to Red Valentine,
but develops pods to an edible condition in 42
days, about four days earlier than Valentine.
The pods are green, not quite so round as
Valentine and less curved. The pods are string-
less, absolutely so, this quality at once placing
the variety at the top of the list among table
beans, while the early maturity is of great merit.
This stringless quality is of particular value, the
pods breaking as short and free as pipe stems.

Giant Stringless. A very hardy, stocky
vine, pods long, round and green in color, of
exceptionally fine quality and stringless through-
out its entire growth. About a week earlier
than Red Valentine and much more prolific.

Improved Tree or Dwarf White Navy. A

Variety developed in western New York. Is a
Bure cropper, and not only more prolific than the
common white bean, but also of better quality.

Best of All. The hardy, vigorous vine pro-
duces an abundance of very straight, handsome
pods which when fit for use as snaps, are very
brittle and of a peculiar deep green color.

Dwarf Horticultural. Vines very pro-
ductive, compact, upright, with large leaves.
Pods medium length, cylindrical, curved, with
splashes of bright red on a yellowish ground.
Seed large, oval, plump and nearly covered with
splashes of bright red.

Leonard’s Pheasant Eye. Is a valuable new
green podded variety. Vines hardy, sturdy,
well leafed. Pods long, meaty, stringless and
of excellent quality. Originated from plant
found in Bountiful; it retains all the good points
of that variety, with added symmetry of pod.
Seed white, splashed more or less at eye side with
yellowish brown, which coloring also surrounds
eye.

Large White Marrow or Mountain. Vines large,
slender, spreading, with short runners and small leaves;
very prolific; pods medium, broad, green, changing
to yellow; beans large, clear white, ovoid, cooking very
dry and mealy.

Red Kidney. Well known shell bean.

White Kidney. A splendid shell bean.

Broad Windsor. The standard English horse
bean.

WAX PODS

PENCIL POD BLACK WAX

Davis White Wax. This bean is adapted alike
for the canner, market gardener, shipper or amateur.
The dry bean is large, kidney shaped, and white in
color, making it one of the best for cooking in a dry
state. Pods are long, meaty, flat in shape, and of
a beautiful yellow color and fair quality.

Currie’s Rust Proof Wax. An excellent Wax
Bean in every respect. Rust proof, tender, thick,
flat pods of very good quality. Very' little string
in early stages, developing a little when nearing
maturity. Fit for table use 47 days from planting.

Golden Wax. The old standard wax sort. Pro-
ductive and early with yellow semi-round pods of
good quality, ready to pick 49 days from planting.

Improved Golden Wax. Rust proof, an improve-
ment on the old style Golden Wax. Pod is semi-
round, yellow, of good quality and has no string.
Ready for picking 47 days from planting.

Detroit Wax. A distinct variety of recent in-
troduction, which is worthy of a place in every
garden. The waxy, yellow pods are produced in
great abundance and the quality is extra fine.

Flageolet Wax. A large bush wax variety; seed
large, purplish red; excellent as a snap bean, and in
great favor as a dry shell bean.

Refugee Wax. A perfect Refugee with Wax
pods. Pods long, round, and of a golden yellow
color. One of the earliest, quality excellent and is
fit for picking 57 days from planting. A very fine canning bean.

Wardwell’s Kidney Wax. Hardy and productive, pods long, broad, thick, flat, and of a delicate
waxy yellow, of excellent quality and with no string in the early growth, ready for table 48 days from planting.

Pencil Pod Black Wax. Pencil Pod Black Wax grows a taller, stronger and more vigorous bush than
the Improved Prolific Black Wax, long, slender, straight, handsome pods, shaped very much like a pencil.

Prolific Black Wax. The old
standard Black Wax Bush Bean. It
is so good that it is worthy of special
notice. The pods are round, brittle, of
handsome golden yellow color, and of
buttery flavor when cooked.

Leonard’s Webber Wax. A new
Wax Bean of distinct character. This
bean has been in the hands of a few
Chicago gardeners for some years back.

Several years ago we secured a small
lot which we have nursed along and
this year we have enough seed to offer
it in limited quantities to our custom-
ers. The vine is strong, holding the
pods well up. The pods are of an
exceedingly bright yellow color, hand-
somer in this respect than any other
wax bean; in shape they resemble
Wardwell’s wax but are rounder and
more meaty. The color of the seed
is yellow.

Hodson Wax. An excellent sort,
later than soffit of the others, but
having many superior points.

Round Podded Kidney Wax. A

round podded variety of great merit.

White Wax. The old standard white

seeded wax bean, very prolific. LEONARD’S WEBBER WAX

Burpee’s. The only bush form of the true, luscious,
large lima. It is pronounced by all good judges as un-
questionably the real Bush Lima. The bushes grow
eighteen to twenty inches high, of stout growth and
always erect. It is an immense yielder.

FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA

Scarlet Runner. Height, 10 feet with dazzling
scarlet flowers from July to October; both orna-
mental and useful. It is used either as a string or
shelled bean.

London Horticultural, or Speckled Cran-
berry. Vines moderately vigorous, bearing short,
broad, pale green pods, becoming streaked with
bright red as they near maturity. Beans large,
ovate and splashed with red. Used either green or
in the dry state.

Red Speckled Cut Short (or Corn Hill). This
is the best sort to plant in hills of corn. A great
cropper.

Dutch Case Knife. Vines moderately vigorous,
climbing well and excellent for a corn hill bean;
leaves, large, crumpled, and pods very long, flat,
green in color, becoming creamy white later. Beans
broad kidney shaped, flat, and white in color.

Early Golden Cluster Wax. One of the very
finest pole beans. Very early, being only a week
later than Golden Wax.

White Creaseback. An extremely early Pole
Bean. Vines small to medium and wonderfully
productive. Bearing pods in clusters of from 4 to
12, and medium in length. An excellent shipper.

Dreer’s. The true bush form of the
chubby Dreer’s or Potato Lima. The pods
are heavy and thick. It is quite productive
and of excellent quality.

Henderson’s. This is a bush form of the
small Seiva pole bean. It is the original bush
form of the pole beans. It is the
most productive of any, and on the
whole is a vegetable of great merit.

New Wonder. This gives the
largest and best returns — a big crop
from a small space — and is a decided
improvement on the original type
of Burpee’s Bush Lima. The beans
are of flat shape and fully equal in
flavor to the famous Dreer’s Bush
Lima, so well and favorably known.

Fordhook Bush Lima. Vines
strong, erect and true Bush Lima
growth. Foliage heavy and very
dark green in color. The stalks
that produce the blossoms are
thrown out from the lateral and
main stalks. The pods resemble Dreer’s Bush
Lima, but average more than double the size and
contain from 3 to 5 beans to the pod.

POLE BEANS

Kentucky Wonder. Vines vigorous, climbing
well, and very productive, bearing its pods in large
clusters; blossoms white; pods green, very long,
often reaching 9 to 10 inches. Nearly round when
young and very crisp, although as they reach
maturity they become irregular and spongy. Dry
Beans long, oval, dun-colored.

Lazy Wife. One of the most productive and
easily gathered of the Pole Beans, hence its very
discourteous name. A most excellent bean for the
home garden.

Early Jersey Lima. 10 days earlier than any
other Lima. Recommended as a most profitable
Lima Bean.

Dreer’s Improved or Challenger Lima. This
is a bean of rather peculiar shape, being thick and
plump, rather than flat and oval.

King of the Garden Lima. The old standard
market and family sort. The vine begins to pro-
duce pods at the foot of the pole, and the bearing
season continues until frost. Pods large, and well
filled with beans of mammoth size.

Large White Lima. The large Lima is a
general favorite wherever it can be cultivated, on
account of its excellent flavor and productiveness.

Small White Lima, Carolina or Sieva.

Vines vigorous with many short branches, so that
they are sometimes grown without poles; very
early and productive, bearing 6hort pods, which
are thin and curved.

TABLE BEETS

Leonard’s Egyptian. This is the earliest and best
bunching beet for market gardeners. It has been
grown for many years by the gardeners of Chicago,
and now they prefer it above all qthers.

Crosby’s Egyptian. This variety resembles the
Egyptian only in its extreme earliness. The stock we
offer is of a distinct vermilion color, which is very
attractive not only in the beets as pulled, but after they
have been cooked. They are also more spherical than
the Extra Early Egyptian and we think of better
quality.

Early Egyptian. The well-known early variety.
Color, extra dark; shape, flat; quality, excellent.

Early Eclipse. A choice early variety; well known
and popular. Shape, globular; quality, good; color,
light.

Lentz Extra Early Blood Turnip. A favorite
market-gardeners’ beet around Philadelphia. Very
early and sweet; ringed red and white.

CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN

Early Turnip Bassano. Tops large; leaf stems
light red; leaves light green; roots large, flesh pink, zoned
with white.

Crimson Globe. This is one of the finest beets yet
introduced. Roots are not large, but very handsome.
Round, and a clean, smooth surface. Leaves very small,
with slender stems.

Detroit Dark Red Turnip. Quality good, sweet and
tender; color deep red; roots are turnip shaped, with small
tap roots.

Dewing’s Early Blood Turnip. A good variety for
main crop. Keeps well. Like Edmand’s, but lighter
color.

Swiss Chard, or Silver. Used for its leaves.

Edmand’s Early Blood Turnip. The best sort for
general crop. In quality one of the finest, exceedingly
dark, shape globular, having only one tap root. Very
popular with market men.

Improved Blood Turnip. An improved variety of
the Early Blood turnip of deep, blood-red color; fine form
and flavor. An excellent market sort.

Bastians. An extra early variety, much esteemed by
market men East and South. Color light.

Half Long Blood. One of the best for winter use.
The roots are only half as long as the Long Blood, but
weigh as much on account of their thickness.

Long Smooth Blood. The standard long late sort.
Very dark, blood-red flesh; quality fine.

Electric. A fine early beet. The color is dark
crimson, with rings of a lighter red. Shape, round and
smooth; leaves, small and compact.

Columbia. Round and smooth, with deep red flesh;
early and very tender.

Arlington Improved. Early; deep round form;
medium size; color, dark blood red; does not become
stringy.

Ruby Dulcet. Globe-shaped; in every
respect a handsome market sort; small top,
small tap-root; skin and flesh deep, rich,
purplish crimson.

GOLDEN TANKARD MANGEL

BROCCOLI

Nearly allied to the cauliflower, but more
hardy. The seed should be sown in this district
in the early part of May, and transplanted in
June; further south the sowing should be delayed
until June or July, and the transplanting accord-
ingly from August to October. In parts of the
country where the thermometer does not fall
below 20 or 25 degrees broccoli may be had in
perfection from November until March. It
succeeds best in a moist and rather cold atmos-
phere.

White Cape. Heads medium size, close,
compact, and of creamy white color. One of
the most certain to head.

Purple Cape. Differs only in color.

BRUSSELS

SPROUTS

This is one of the best vegetables for winter
use, producing from the axils of the leaves an
abundance of sprouts, resembling small cabbages,
of excellent, mild flavor.

Tall French. Very fine.

Dwarf Improved. A variety producing
compact sprouts of excellent quality.

STOCK BEETS

Leonard’s Improved Mammoth Long Red.

The largest and most productive variety.
Immense crops can be grown from it.

Norbiton Giant Long Red. Very large,
excellent variety for feeding stock.

Yellow Globe. Globular shaped roots. More
productive than Long Red in shallow soil. Very
nutritious and a good keeper.

Golden Tankard. Shape cylindrical, color
deep rich yellow, flesh yellow circled with white.
Unequaled for feeding stock.

Orange Globe. We think this one of the
best varieties of mangel wurzel.

SUGAR BEETS

Vilmorin’s Improved Sugar. In general,
the most desirable beet for the factory is the one
containing the largest percentage of sugar.

Klein Wanzleben. A little larger than Vil-
morin’s Improved, yielding from twe've to
eighteen tons per acre, and containing about
the same amount of sugar. It grows below the
surface, and the green leaves are rather large
and spreading.

Lane’s Imperial Sugar. Good for making
sugar, also stock feeding. A hardy and pro-
ductive sort. Yields fourteen to sixteen tons
per acre, and contains about 16 per cent of
sugar.

Giant Half-Sugar. This unites the large
size of the mangel with the greater feeding value
of the sugar beet. The roots average ten to
twelve inches, and the outline is that of a broad
thick wedge. The upper portion is of a soft
bright pink, shading lighter toward the bottom
where the lower portion for about one-third the
length is white.

CABBAGE

Extra Early
Express. An

extra early so#,
in which the
plants are com-
pact, with round
thick leaves that
form an oval
head, which is
astonishingly
large for the
size of the
plants.

Early Jersey
Wakefield Cab-
bage. Our sel-
ected stock. This
is one of the
most important
varieties in the
list. Great care
must be exer-
cised in the
growing of the
seed to have it
pure and true
to type. We
give especial at-
tention to the
growing of

our

EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD

Wakefield stock, and its uniform excellence is a source of gratification to us.

Large or Charleston Wakefield. This is a selection from the best extra early Jersey Wakefield,
which will average about 50 per cent larger.

Early York. Heads small, heart-shaped, firm and tender. Can be planted 15 to 18 inches apart.
Henderson’s Early Summer. A standard
summer variety. We have the true stock.

Henderson’s Succession. A good summer
cabbage; also makes a good cabbage to succeed
itself.

Early Spring Cabbage. The earliest flat head,
as early as Jersey Wakefield. Yields one-third
more than the early pointed heads. Solid, uniform
and finely grained heads. Stem is short and extends
but little into the head.

Fottler’s Early Brunswick. An early fall
variety, well known and popular.

Fottler’s Improved Brunswick. An excellent
shipping sort, as it does not burst or rot. Well
thought of by all gardeners of Chicago.

All Seasons. A fine variety for any season,
of good shape and size.

Vandergaw or Chicago Market. The Vander-
gaw is a very good second early cabbage. It is
popular with many of the Chicago market gardeners.

It comes in with the Succession and All Seasons, and
forms a nice solid head.

Louisville Drumhead. This fine cabbage is
very popular with the kraut makers. It is a
medium late variety, forming a large solid head,
which seldom bursts. It is used largely by shippers
in the vicinity of Chicago who ship cabbages
south.

GLORY OF ENKHUIZEN

This is an excellent mid-summer variety. It comes
in about a week earlier than All Seasons, makes a
nice large head, has few outer leaves and can be planted
close. Our tests show it to be worthy of a place
among the new varieties of merit and we can recom-
mend it as a good addition to the fist.

The Lupton. The Lupton Cabbage is the result
of an effort to combine in one variety the best qualities
of the second-early and the late sorts. It is a little
earlier than any one of the various strains of Flat
Dutch and Drumhead.

Early Winningstadt. An early variety of ex-
cellent quality, not as early as the Wakefield.

All Head Early. One of the finest early flat-
head cabbages.

Early Dwarf Flat Dutch. An early cabbage
of good size. Heads are fiat and very solid.

CABBAGE

LEONARD’S FAULTLESS CABBAGE

LEONARD’S FAULTLESS

IS NOW AND FOR YEARS HAS BEEN THE FAVORITE SECOND EARLY
CABBAGE AT CHICAGO

The product of this seed out-sells any other second early cabbage two to one on the home market.
It can be marketed in the early summer, during midsummer, in the fall and early winter, making it the
best all purpose variety ever introduced. It is popular alike with the grocer, kraut maker and shipper.
It is possessed of earliness, large size, compactness and will produce more salable heads to the acre than
any other stock we know of. It is of the succession type, but is earlier, head is rounder, sits out of the
under leaves higher, has a darker color of leaf and can be planted closer.

Volga. One of the earliest main crop cabbages
of superior quality. Very desirable where a large,
uniformly round head with short stem and compact
growth is wanted. Matures very early for a variety
furnishing such large heads of excellent shape. Very
hardy, good keeper.

Early Drumhead. A second early, sure heading
cabbage of good quality. Plant of compact growth.
Head large, thick, flattened on the top, solid, crisp
and tender.

Copenhagen Market

COPENHAGEN MARKET

A new early variety, popular with market gardeners.
It is one of the finest early round-headed cabbage in
cultivation. It is desirable on account of the remark-
able characteristic of maturing the heads all at the
same time, enabling the grower to gather his crop
with less expense and permitting the cleaning of the
land at the first cutting. The heads average about
ten pounds each in weight, are hard and solid with
small core. The quality is extra fine and sweet.
It is a short stemmed variety, the heads nearly resting
on the ground. The leaves are fight green, rather
small, saucer-shaped and tightly folded, making it
possible to set them close together in the field.

LEONARD’S HOLLAND CABBAGE

The Holland
Cabbage, Leon-
ard’s Strain.

The Heaviest
Cabbage for the
size of head ever
introduced.

This cabbage
in many localities
is the most popu-
lar for winter and
early spring mar-
keting. It is
heavy and re-
mains solid longer
than any other
long keeping cab-
bage. For winter
shipping it is un-
surpassed. The
main question for
the grower t o
solve is where to
get the genuine
seed, for the pop-
ularity and pay-
ing qualities of
the cabbage itself,
when it is right,
are points long
ago decided.

Seed of the
true Holland Cab-
bage is not plenti-
ful; it is produced on a limited area at one or two points only. Seed grown anywhere else deteriorates,
fails to show up the proper characteristics and is but a very unsatisfactory substitute. Since 1896 we
have succeeded in securing the seed crops of a grower of this cabbage which for uniformity have met the
requirements of the large cabbage growers of Chicago, Racine and other Holland cabbage shipping points,
and which have made for us a reputation for handling the best strain of this important article. We in-
troduced the seed as Leonard’s Strain and our sales are only limited by the quantity of seed our grower
can produce. We do not hesitate to say that Leonard’s strain of Holland cabbage is the purest to be had.

The Heaviest Cabbage for the Size of Head Ever Found

HOLLAND CABBAGE, SHORT STEM STRAIN

This strain of Holland Cabbage differs from the original Leonard Strain in the height of the stem only.
In all other respects it is the same. It has been bred up to meet the requirements of the grower who
works heavy, rich land. The long stem of the original strain in extra heavy soil has been thought to
be something of a fault and the growers have been calling for a stock that would retain all the good
points of the original with the additional advantage of dwarfer habit.

LEONARD’S WINTER (EAST PRAIRIE SPECIAL)

LEONARD’S WINTER

East Prairie Special

This new cabbage originated in that part of the Niles Center trucking region known as the East
Prairie, which is one of the best cabbage growing sections of Chicago.

It is a direct cross of the Leonard Luxemberg and the Leonard Strain of Holland and combines
the good points of both. It has the shorter stem and more lasting color of the Luxemberg with the rounder
head of the Holland. The combination gives a cabbage that is superior to either. Three years ago we
obtained from one of our best growers enough selected heads to give us stock seed, and from this stock
we raised, during the past year, a good crop of seed.

Danish Ballhead Cabbage. For a winter cabbage for
early spring sales some of our local gardeners consider this
variety excellent. It has been selected and perfected for
more than fifty years by the Danish gardeners, who prize it
so highly that they grow it almost exclusively for winter
cabbage, and annually export large quantities of it. It is
hard heading, and long keeping cabbage. Heads round as
a ball, solid, fine grained, has few outer leaves, tender, crisp
and of unexcelled flavor.

Leonard’s Luxemberg. This cabbage will retain its
fine green color until late in the spring, and is often sold for
new cabbage after being covered all winter.

Leonard’s Improved Bridgeport Drumhead. This is
a standard winter variety on the Chicago markets, and is
used largely for shipping south.

Sure Head. A fine variety for main crop. A good ship-
per and sure header.

Stonemason Drumhead. A late large heading variety;
but not as fine grained as others.

Marblehead Mammoth. A large late variety of fairly
good quality.

Large Late Drumhead. A late variety of large size.

Premium Flat Dutch. This variety of late cabbage is
a standard in all sections for winter use. Our selected stock
is unsurpassed.

Improved American Savoy. The best of all the Savoys
for general market or home use.

Mammoth Bock Bed. The largest heading of any red
sort. Heads are hard, of deep-red color, quality excellent.

Bed Drumhead. The standard pickling variety. A
good keeper.

DANISH BALLHEAD

LEONARD SEED COMPANY, CHICAGO

CARROTS

Early French Forcing. The earliest variety in cultivation
and the best suited for forcing. Tops small, finely divided. The
reddish-orange colored roots are nearly round. When fully
matured they are about 2 inches in diameter, but should be used
before they are full grown and while young and tender.

Half Long Nantes. Tops of medium size; roots cylindrical,
smooth, bright orange; flesh orange, becoming yellow in center,
but with no distinct core. Of the finest quality and one of the
most symmetrical and handsome of the medium sized sorts;
excellent for the market or home garden.

Early Short Horn. Excellent for early planting out of doors.
Tops small, coarsely divided; roots top-shaped, but tapering
abruptly to a small tap; skin orange-red.

CHANTENAY CARROT

Guerande, or Ox
Heart. Tops small for
the size of the roots which
are comparatively short
but often reach a diame-
ter of 5 inches, terminat-
ing abruptly in a small tap root. Flesh bright orange, fine
grained and sweet. This variety is especially desirable for soil so
hard and stiff that longer rooted sorts would not thrive in it.
When young excellent for table use, and when mature equally good
for stock.

Chantenay. Tops medium sized; necks small; roots tapering
slightly but uniformly stump rooted and smooth; color deep orange-
red; flesh very crisp and tender. Although this is a medium early
sort, it furnishes roots of usable size as early as any, is a heavy
cropper and is undoubtedly one of the best for both the market and
private garden, while its great productiveness makes it very desira-
ble as a field sort.

Danvers. Grown largely on account of its great productiveness
and adaptability to all classes of soil. Tops of medium size, coarsely
divided. The smooth and handsome roots are deep orange, of
medium length, tapering uniformly to a blunt point; flesh sweet,
crisp, tender and of a deep orange color. Although the roots of this
variety are short, they produce as large a bulk as the longer field
sorts and are more easily harvested.

James Intermediate. A variety intermediate between the
Danvers and Long Orange. It tapers to a point not so blunt as
the Danvers and is more symmetrical and not so long as the Long
Orange.

Long Orange. The most popular of the older sorts for farm
use on mellow soil. An improvement obtained by years of careful
selection of the best formed and deepest colored roots.

Coreless. A fine half-long early car-
rot. Medium sized, even shaped and
productive. Blunt base and small tap
root. Small fine tops and a nice
smooth skin. The flesh is a rich
orange red, finely grained and very
free from the

CORELESS CARROT

DANVERS CARROT

woody yellow heart
or core usually
found in most red fleshed carrots.

St. Valery. A good late variety. It grows long,
shape uniform, tapering from a wide shoulder to a point.

White Belgian. Grows one-third out of the ground.
Root white, green above ground, with small top. Flesh
rather coarse. The roots are of large size and the variety
is extensively grown for stock feeding.

Improved Short White. We think this distinct
variety is destined to take first rank as a field carrot,
owing to its enormous productiveness and the ease with
which it can be harvested.

CAULIFLOWER

CAULIFLOWER— LEONARD’S SNOWBALL

LEONARD’S SNOWBALL

The leading Cauliflower at Chicago and unquestionably the purest strain of “Snowball” Cauliflower
seed to be had. Heads uniform; of desirable market size and of snowy whiteness.

After many years’ competitive tests it is pronounced by expert cauliflower growers to be the best for
both early and late planting. Successful frame growers of cauliflower say that under glass culture our
Snowball outclasses any strain of cauliflower seed known to them. There are many expert cauliflower
growers at Chicago, none better anywhere that we are aware of. Other strains of snowball seed are well
known to them and this strain of ours is their favorite for early, for late and for forcing. Strong recom-
mendations surely.

Danish Dry Weather. We take pleasure in in-
troducing this Cauliflower to our customers. It is
from one of the best growers in Denmark and we
recommend it highly to market gardeners for trial.

It is claimed to be a splendid strain for a dry
season and equally good in all weathers. From
the reports we have regarding this stock from
gardeners who have tried it we consider it a
valuable addition to the list and a worthy com-
panion to Our Famous Snowball.

Leonard’s Earliest Erfurt. A variety that has
given excellent satisfaction to our home gardeners.

It is snow white and a sure header. Gardeners will
be amply repaid by giving this variety a fair trial.

Extra Early Paris. This is a good early sort,
and in a good season does well. Not as sure a
header as the higher priced varieties.

Autumn Giant. A late sort of fairly good
quality. Will do well under favorable conditions.

CELERY

Golden Self Blanching. The best of all early self-
blanching varieties. First introduced in America in 1884,
this is decidedly better in quality than the White Plume.
It, is ready for use nearly as early, blanches as easily, and
is larger in size as well as finer in quality. It is of dwarf
compact habit, with thick, solid, heavily ribbed stalks
which blanch easily to a clear waxen yellow.

White Plume. This is the earliest and most easily
blanched, but does not keep well taken from the trenches.
The plants grow rapidly and blanch easily during the
summer months. Later in the fall the central stalks and
leaves are of pure snowy whiteness even without earth-
ing up.

Crawford’s Half Dwarf. When blanched is of rather
yellowish- white color, and is quite solid and well flavored.

Evans’ Triumph. One of the best of late sorts. This
variety has a very strong and vigorous plant with large,
very white, crisp, brittle, tender and fine flavored stalks.
It is late and requires the whole season to develop, but
will keep well for a very long time

Boston Market. For many years one of the most
popular sorts in the markets of Boston. Instead of a
single large heart it forms a number of smaller ones,
which are very white, and remarkably tender and crisp.
The best variety for light soils.

Winter Queen Celery. This is, without
doubt, the most valuable variety of celery for
winter and spring use ever introduced, even
excelling the celebrated Perfection Heartwell
as a late winter keeper. It is also much
stouter, thicker and heavier, with double the
amount of heart of any known celery.

Giant Pascal. This is a green leaved
variety developed from the Golden Yellow
Self Blanching, and is an excellent sort for
fall and winter use. It blanches to a beauti-
ful yellowish-white color, is very solid and
crisp and of a fine nutty flavor.

Perfection Heartwell. A fine flavored,
crisp and tender variety. The plants are a
little taller than Crawford’s Half Dwarf and
a little later in maturing. The stalks are of
medium size, round, very solid, crisp, tender,
white and of exceedingly fine and nutty
flavor. This has long been a standard
variety and is yet one of the favorite sorts.

Dwarf Golden Heart. A variety of
sturdy, dwarf habit. It is solid, an excellent
keeper, and of fine, nutty flavor.

Dwarf White Kalamazoo. Dwarf, white;
stiff close habit; solid, crisp.

CELERIAC, LARGE SMOOTH PRAGUE

WINTER QUEEN

Giant Golden Heart. This variety attains a
large size, but still remains crisp and tender. It is a
fine keeper and is a favorite on the Chicago market.

Soup or Cutting Celery. This variety is adapted
to sowing thick in rows and cutting when three or four
inches high, to use for soup flavoring.

GERMAN CELERY OR CELERIAC

Large Smooth Prague. Has a large smooth root,
and is the finest of all celeriac.

Apple Shaped. Not as smooth as the above, but
of good form.

Turnip Rooted. This is the ordinary and well-
known variety.

CUCUMBER

Chicago or Westerfleld Pickling. A variety es-
teemed and grown extensively for the large pickling
establishments.

West India Gherkin. A very small, oval, prickly
sort, distinct from all others.

Early Russian. Solid, with few seeds.

Improved Long Green.
Fruit long and slim, not sur-
passed in quality by any variety.

Japanese Climbing. While
all cucumbers are running vines,
yet this variety is much more
creeping or climbing in its habit.

Early Cluster. Vines vigor-
ous, producing the bulk of the
crop near the root and in clusters.
Evergreen White Spine.
EVERGREEN WHITE SPINE CUCUMBER An improved strain of the well

known White Spine, and a

favorite with market gardeners, both for forcing and outdoor culture.

Green Prolific or Boston Pickling. A favorite with pickle growers and commercial gardeners, and
good for table use.

N i c h o 1 ’ s Medium
Green. A valuable and
handsome variety, in
shape between White
Spine and Long Green.

Early Frame or Short
Green. An excellent sort
for table use and for pick-
ling. Fruit straight,
handsome, smaller at each
end, bright green; flesh
tender and crisp and
makes fine pickles.

Jersey Pickle. Sixty
days to make pickles.

It is productive, and is
said to “green” better
than any other variety,
and to “hold color.”

Thorburn’s Everbear-
ing. Small size, very early and enormously productive, and valuable as a green pickle. It continues to
flower and produce fruit until killed by frost.

Leonard’s Greenhouse. This is a stock of cucumber upon which we have spent much time. The
seed we offer is of our own growing and the selection is from the finest types only. The value of it to market
gardeners and greenhouse men who desire a uniform, deep green, extra long cucumber, will be appreciated

as soon as tried.

Davis Perfect. In
color, a dark glossy green;
shape slim and symmet-
rical, with an average
length of 10 to 12 inches.

Early White Spine.
One of the best sorts for
table use. Vines vigor-
ous, fruiting early and
abundantly.

Arlington. A selec-
tion from the White Spine,
being more pointed at
each end.

Giant Pera. An ex-
ceedingly large growing
sort, of excellent quality.

Cool and Crisp. A
strain of White Spine
somewhat like the Arling-
ton, but larger and less
The Emerald. It is strictly an evergreen. symmetrical.

Fordhook Famous. Of the true White Spine type, vines produce an enormous crop, being of
unusually vigorous growth.

LEONARD’S NARROW GRAIN EVERGREEN

This New Type of Sweet Corn is a stock worked up by S. F. Leonard after several years of experiment-
ing. In it we feel that we have something vastly superior to the old wide grain Evergreen. The ear is as
large as the Stowell’s Evergreen and averages more rows to the ear. The cob is small in comparison to
the size of the ear, and the kernels are very long, narrow and remarkably free from starch. The rows are
uniformly straight and the ear holds its evenness from butt to tip more uniformly than any other type
of Evergreen.

shown in the picture, and a section of the ears of both kinds are shown in the view given below. The
comparison is the best method we can think of to show the difference between the two stocks. The ears

Natural Size Natural Size

It is our opinion that this corn will be ideal for canners’ purposes in place of Country Gentleman, as it
will pack over a longer period than the Country Gentleman, make better quality and will be more easily
contracted with the farmer growing for the factory on account of the size of stalk which equals Stowell’s
Evergreen in height. Mr. Leonard started selecting and working on this corn some years ago, having in
mind the type he wanted to attain. Each succeeding crop has been selected and worked upon with this
end in view. In this way the desired type was established and we feel justified in offering Leonard’s
Narrow Grain Evergreen as the most desirable sugar corn to be had. It will suit the purposes of the
canner, the trucker or the amateur. The demand for seed of Leonard’s Narrow Grain Evergreen has been
so large that our supply of the 1914 crop, although fairly plentiful, is likely to be used up quickly, so
get your orders in early.

finer appearance. It is as early as the Early Cory
and of excellent quality.

Mammoth White Cory. The ears are twelve
rowed, much larger than the old Cory, white cobbed,
and covered with very large white grains of good
quality.

Early Cory Red Cob. This variety is the favorite
for first early, and no other variety has proved
earlier.

Chicago Market or Ballard. This is the largest
and best early corn in existence, twelve rowed, white
cobbed and of exceedingly fine quality.

Premo. It is a “sixty-day” sweet corn. It not
only combines all the merits of the leading early
varieties, but it is also really superior to them all in
size, quality and yield.

Extra Early Adams. This is an extra early field
variety, but it is much used as an early market
variety, being sweet and juicy.

Early Minnesota. One of the standard early
sorts. Ready for market two weeks later than Cory
or Chicago Market.

Perry’s Hybrid. An early variety of splendid
quality. Kernels tinged with pink when ripe, with
white cob.

New Champion. This corn is unsurpassed for
market use, owing to its large size and fine appear-
ance. It is medium early, coming in at the same
time as Perry’s Hybrid. It is fourteen rowed and a
splendid cropper.

Moore’s Early Concord. A well known variety
of large size, twelve rowed and of excellent quality.
This makes a fine market corn.

Kendall’s Early Giant. A valuable new early
sweet corn. The ears grow to a tremendous size,

measuring eight to ten inches long, and having
ten to eighteen rows on each cob, the majority
having twelve rows; kernels pure white, sweet,
tender.

Crosby’s Early. An early corn of large size and
choice quality. It has long been a standard variety.

Peep o’Day Sweet Corn. This new variety is
claimed to be the Earliest Sweet Corn. It is of
Minnesota origin and has been offered in the Min-
neapolis market from five to seven days earlier than
any other well-known kind in the trade. Ears five
inches long.

Early Iowa Sweet Corn. This is a very early
Sweet Corn, almost as early as Malakoff and of
much larger size. The stalks grow three feet high
and usually bear two or more ears. Early Iowa is a
week ahead of the Early Cory and bears ears
nearly as large.

Malakoff Sweet Corn. The earliest real Sweet
Corn in existence; habits simple like Peep o’ Day,
with much better quality. The plant is very dwarf
and usually produces three ears to every stalk;
ears are short, three and one-half to four inches;
eight rowed.

Golden Bantam Sweet Corn. A very early
sweet corn with golden yellow grain, very tender
and of excellent quality. The ears are six to seven
inches long and of the medium size found most
suitable for the table. The flavor is exceptionally
rich and delicious. Our stock has been very care-
fully selected. Height about four feet.

Morse’s Golden Cream. Is a very early, yellow
Country Gentleman Sweet Corn. The kernels are
long and pointed, the cob is very slender and the
whole ear about as long as Golden Bantam. The
flavor is remarkable — in fact very much the same
as Golden Bantam. The habit of growth is rather
dwarf and the stalks bear two to four ears. The
stalks are brownish red and the silk is also brown
at the tips.

SWEET CORN

STOWELL’S EVERGREEN

Sto well’s Evergreen. This standard main crop
variety excels all other late sorts in sweetness and
productiveness. It is more popular than any other
for canning, for marketing and for the home garden.
Great care has to be exercised in the selection of
stock to grow seed from, as this variety has a ten-
dency to deterioration and a shorter grain, which
makes it less sugary and desirable.

Old Colony. This variety is two weeks earlier
than the Evergreen, and almost as large. It is
considered the best and sweetest by canning fac-
tories. A fine paying variety for market.

Country Gentleman. We have a stock of this
excellent sweet corn that is exceptionally good.
There is no sweet corn that compares with the'
Country Gentleman for sweetness. It is the variety
par excellence where quality is desired. Market
gardeners who make a specialty of growing for
hotels and high class restaurant trade use this as a
main crop variety in preference to any other. For
home use it will be found superior and it is very
productive. The fact that it is a favorite variety
with canners proves its merit.

Egyptian or Washington Market. A standard
variety, in season between Evergreen and Mammoth
Sugar. Very sweet and well adapted for canning.

Mammoth Sugar. A large late variety having
ears of mammoth size, 14 to 20 rows. Quality ex-
cellent, not exceeded by any variety. A good
canners’ variety, being white grained and very
uniform. A week later than Stowell’s Evergreen.

Black Mexican. This corn, when in condition
for the table, cooks remarkably white; but the ripe
grain is black or bluish-black. It is surpassed by
none in tenderness. For family use it is considered
by many the most desirable of the medium late
sorts. It does especially well for second early in
the South.

Zig-zag Evergreen. This fine new strain pos-
sesses the distinct characteristics which have made
Stowell’s Evergreen so deservedly the favorite for
main crop, but produces ears fit to use from one
week to ten days earlier.

White Evergreen. This is a high-bred white type
Stowell’s Evergreen. It has been developed by
careful work, only the finest white-eared product
being saved and selected each season. The stalks
are of strong, vigorous growth, six to seven feet
high.

White Mexican Sweet Corn. White Mexican is a
hea\ y yielding, early maturing Sweet Corn. It
ranks in a class with White Cob Cory and is a
better yielder. Height 4 feet; ear about six and
one-half inches long. Quality good.

Early Mammoth. Closely resembles the Late
Mammoth, but is a little smaller, and about two
weeks earlier. Of good size and quality.

Leonard’s Narrow Grain Evergreen. See pages
4, 48, 49. -

Hickox Hybrid. Earlier than Stowell’s Ever-
green, and makes a large, attractive ear of white
and handsome grain. It is one of the best varieties
for canners’ use. By planting it at the same time
as Stowell’s Evergreen the season will be lengthened
considerably, as the Hickox will be about through
by the time Stowell’s Evergreen comes in. Very
prolific; ordinarily every stalk will have two large,
fully developed ears. The best sort for drying.

Early Evergreen. The ears of this new corn
grow 8 inches long, are mostly 14 to 18 rows.
This is a magnificent kind for market gardeners and
for main crop in every home garden. It ripens 10
to 12 days in advance of Stowell’s Evergreen and
is equally as good for all purposes. The kernels
are very sweet and tender, and when eaten from the
cob break off free from husky tips so common to
some otherwise fine table corns.

Metropolitan. A new early sort. The ears are
about 9 inches in length, 10 to 12 rowed, well filled
to the tip with large, deep kernels, which are very
sweet and tender. . It is an excellent variety for
market gardeners.

CHERVIL

A hardy annual worthy of more general use for flavoring
and garnishing. The curled variety is even more beauti-
iul than parsley.

Culture. Sow in early spring in rich, well prepared
soil, and when plants are well established transplant to
about one foot apart.

Curled. Greatly superior to the old plain variety,
being earlier, more handsome, and having fully as fine
perfume and flavor.

CARDOON

(Cardo)

Smooth Solid Cardoon. Grown from the mid ribs

of the leaves which are blanched and used in the same
manner as celery. The main root is also used and when
cooked in a proper way, is excellent. Thorough blanching
is necessary in order to bring out the delicacy of flavor
possessed by the Cardoon.

CHICORY

(French Endive)

Witloof Chicory. The principal
merit of this variety consists in the
width of its leaves and the large size
CARDOON of their ribs. When blanched, it forms

the vegetable which the Belgians call
Witloof. When properly grown and blanched it resembles a head of Cos Lettuce.

Large-rooted, or Coffee. Our stock is the improved type, with very much larger,
smoother, whiter and proportionately shorter roots than the old kind. The dried and
prepared roots are used quite extensively as a substitute or adulterant for coffee.

COLLARDS

A variety of cabbage known in different sections as “Cole,” “Colewort,” or simply
“Greens.” It is extensively used in the south, where it continues in luxuriant growth
all winter.

Georgia, Southern or Creole. We offer the
true white or green stemmed sort so extensively
used in the south, where it furnishes an abund-
ance of food for man and beast. Freezing does
not injure, but rather improves their quality.

merged in water.

WHITE

YELLOW

Leonard’s Onion Sets are the Chicago Standard. We are the pioneers in set growing here. The Chi-
cago onion set has that fine bright color which is so much desired, and being grown from the same kind of
seed that produces our best large onion it produces a bulb far superior to the Southern or Southeastern prod-
uct. We claim a superiority for our onion sets which comes from superior knowledge in planting, harvest-
ing, storing and shipping as a result of long continued experience and large operations.

We are now and for many years have

Red Onion Sets. These sets are grown from
the Red Wethersfield variety and will produce
marketable onions several weeks earlier than seeds.
For green onions they are also very desirable.

White Onion Sets. We have sets grown from
the White Globe seed or from the White Portugal
seed and can furnish either kind. White sets pro-
duce the finest early green onions, and no garden
should be without them.

Yellow Onion Sets. The yellow sets are grown
from seed of Strasburg, Yellow Danvers, Yellow
Globe Danvers and Southport Yellow Globe, either
of which we can furnish. Yellow is the standard
color for onions in many of the largest markets.

Prizetaker Sets. These sets are grown from
seed of the Prizetaker onion. The most successful
growers of Prizetaker say that this onion cannot be
grown to its fullest perfection unless seedlings are
transplanted or the onions grown from sets.

Shallots or Multipliers. These are very pop-
ular at the South. They are grown largely for
flavoring. The clumps are divided and they multi-
ply very abundantly.

Winter Tops (Perennial Tree Onions). These
are very hardy; they need no protection during the
Winter, and will continue for many years to yield
an abundant supply of green onions without re-
planting.

White Multiplier Onions. Owing to the white
color this is considered an improvement on the
yellow multiplier onion, which it resembles in habit
of growth.

Genuine Top Onions. This is the old-fash-
ioned top onion. The small clumps when separated
are planted and each small bulb produces a large,
solid, marketable onion of the finest keeping qual-
ities. This onion, when planted, produces again
on the top of a stalk which shoots up from it the
small clumps, just as ordinary onions throw up
a ball of seed.

Leonard’s Three Globes

Leonard’s Three Globes bring more money to the onion grower and sell
quicker.than any other varieties. Our Yellow Globe
is the Standard Yellow, our Red Globe is the
Standard Red and our White
Globe is the Standard White.

Leonard’s Yellow Globe

This Onion is our prize
yellow market variety. It is
the most uniform as to size,
the most productive, the best
keeping and the handsomest
yellow-skinned Globe variety
we have ever known. It has
taken years of patient effort
to bring it to its present
perfection, and to keep up
the standard of excellence
requires extreme care in the
selection of bulbs to set out
for seeding when the time for
that event occurs each year.
This onion has the call on the
Chicago market, and our
home sales for seed of it are
very large. Last season our
supply became exhausted
long before the planting
season was over. This year
our supply is larger than it
was last season, and we are
prepared to meet in a meas-
ure the increasing demand
for this splendid onion.

Good growers of onions
seldom allow a difference in
price to keep them from
buying good seed if they feel
sure that it is good. To such
we would say: The seed here
offered is worthy of investi-
gation if a good thing is
wanted.

LEONARD’S GLOBE ONIONS

Leonard’s Red Globe

The deep dark red color of our Red Globe is one of its
superior points, while in shape and size it is a counterpart
of our Popular Yellow Globe.

In the Michigan, Indiana and Ohio onion sections, as
well as in Illinois and Iowa this strain of Red
Globe produces the prize- winning red onions.
Where competition is keen it will pay large re-
turns for the additional cost of the seed.
Superior stocks are neces-
sary to the prosperity of the
market planter. The inferior
article may be more attrac-
tive at the beginning, because
it costs less, but the superior
seed gives the more valuable
product. You cannot afford
to do without the best.

The Onion Seed Specialties
here offered are worth many
times their cost to any mar-
ket grower, and the satisfac-
tion they will give to the
consumer will increase the
profits of the gardener who
grows them.

them to perfection than red or yellow, but many
large growers score big returns from a crop of whites.
This strain of White Globe is uniform in size and
shape with our Yellow and Red Globe.

Our position as MARKET GARDENERS’ SEED-
MEN is well and favorably known both at
home and throughout the country.

Our pre-eminent standing
in this line of the Seed
Rusiness has been long

Gardener, when he plants
LEONARD’S SEEDS may
therefore feel reasonably
sure that he is planting
the best seed obtainable.

During the past twenty-
six years in addition to the
vast -quantity we sell, we
have each year planted
and handled the product
of thousands of pounds
of onion seed. We plant
the same kinds of seed

ONION SEED

Large Red Wethersfield. We have a very fine
and select strain of this sort. Color is deep purplish
red, flesh white moderately grained and very firm.
Yields an enormous amount per acre, and is one of
the best winter keeping onions.

Extra Early Flat Red. This variety matures
from ten days to two weeks earlier than the Red
Wethersfield. The color is a deep rich red, fine
grain and close.

Australian Brown Onion. Is of medium size,
wonderfully hard and solid and most attractive for
market, both as to form and appearance. The
color of the skin is a clear amber brown.

Southport Yellow Globe. A large perfectly
shaped Globe onion and an excellent onion for
keeping throughout the winter. A very heavy crop-
per, handsome in appearance and a good dark yellow
color.

Yellow Globe Danvers. This fine onion is of
large size. An early and abundant cropper. Bulbs
very thick, flat or slightly convex bottoms, full oval
top with small neck and rich brownish yellow skin.

Michigan Yellow Globe. The bulbs are large
and uniformly spherical with very small necks and
the largest diameter below the center of the bulbs of
a rich orange color.

Ohio Yellow Globe. An early Globe onion,
small neck and very uniform in size and color. Very
popular in the marsh onion sections of Ohio and
Indiana.

Southport Red Globe. This is a fine keeper.
Large size and considered one of the best red onions.
Flesh is fine grained, very mild and tender.

White Portugal. American Silver Skin. This is
the best sort to sow — for onion sets or for pickling.
When sown thickly for either it makes a small,
round, hard bulb.

Philadelphia Silver Skin. Very desirable
for family use. Flavor mild and pleasant.

Extra Early Pearl. A very fine, Italian
variety that grows quickly to a good marketable
size. Very popular, particularly in the south.
The bulbs are round, flattened, with a delicate
pure white skin.

skinned variety, of beautiful form and rapid
growth, and possessing fine keeping qualities.

Neapolitan Marzajola. A large, beautiful,
silvery white skinned variety, of handsome flat
shape, of very fine flavor and quality.

Early Flat Yellow Danvers. A good
variety, but not as round or quite as early as
the Yellow Globe Danvers.

Yellow Strasburg, or Dutch. One of the
oldest varieties. Bulbs quite flat, of good size,

skin yellow, flesh white, of mild flavor and keeps well.
This is the variety used very extensively for grow-
ing yellow onion sets.

Leonard’s Yellow Cracker. The earliest, hand-
somest, and best flat onion in the fist. Besides
being early it is one of the best keepers.

Southport White Globe. This grows to a very
large size and is a perfectly globe-shaped onion.
Color is a clear pure white. This variety is used by
the Chicago market gardeners for bunching.

Spanish King. One of the handsomest onions
grown. Specimens weighing nearly four pounds are
often harvested.

mammoth grower, of beautiful pearly white color,
almost transparent in appearance. To match
Spanish King at fairs and exhibitions it is just what
is needed.

Copper King. This variety is the largest red
onion grown. It is fine and mild in taste. With the
two varieties above mentioned a combination is
formed which wins prizes at all fairs for all colors.

Giant Yellow Rocca. Of all the magnificent
Italian onions now in cultivation none are more
popular than the Giant Rocca.

Giant Red Rocca. This magnificent variety is of
beautiful globe shape, skin red, flesh white, of mild,
pleasant flavor.

Prizetaker. Grows to an immense size and for
fall marketing is unexcelled. Although of such
great size, it is very hardy and a fair Winter keeper,
as it ripens up hard and firm ; very fine grained, and
of mild, delicate flavor. The outside skin is rich
yellow while the flesh is white. To get the best
results from this onion the seed is sown in beds and
transplanted. It will, however, make a good crop
if sown in the ordinary way.

White Barletta

White Barletta. When matured the tops die
down, leaving beautiful and perfect little bulbs.
The color is pure white, flavor mild and delicate,
perfectly adapted for pickling and table use.

White Victoria. A beautiful, large round
variety with silver white skin, but sometimes of a

PILOT

Pilot, The. A new pea of English origin very
similar to Gradus as to earfiness, color of vine and
pod as well as quality. Vines grow to a height of
3 to 4 feet with foliage medium to dark green color.
Pods are large, pointed at end and broad. Dark
green in color. Is fit for table use 60 days from

Saxonia. The originator of this new Pea de-
scribes it as follows: With rare unanimity has my
new Pea, which I introduced last year;: been ac-
cepted in all pea growing countries as denoting an
important progress in the development of our first
early round sorts.

It is a well known fact, that the one decided short-
coming of our first early round peas has always been
their short yield as compared to that of later sorts.
This blemish has been completely remedied by my
new Pea “Saxonia,” for it yields as abundantly as
the favorite later sorts, and it cannot be surpassed
in earfiness by any pea.

The pods are of double the size of the Extra Early
or First and Best, they appear mostly in pairs and
are filled with large pure white peas. The plant
has the convenient height of 2 feet.

though the pods are of very fine appearance. Pods

of even growth, 20 to 24 inches in height, with
luxuriant dark foliage, bearing pods medium green

in size. We consider ourselves very fortunate in
having secured and introduced this pea.

valuable testimonial: “POTLATCH. — Sown May
15, 20 inches high, foliage a very dark green,
bloomed July A, fit to eat July 22, pod and grain
large, sweet and excellent. When cooked, they
were the greenest pea I have ever seen; in fact,

haulms and pods are deep green, the latter crowded
with 7 to 9 large peas of the very best color and
flavor; it is as early as American Wonder, but a far
more abundant bearer. We test all the new and
standard varieties each season, and we can say with
confidence that there is no better all-round early
variety than this. Seed green, wrinkled and small
in size.

Surprise. Resembling in vine, size and shape
of pod Alaska and First and Best, but with the
tender quality and delicate flavor of the best of the

So numerous are the pods that the plants present a
most striking appearance while growing. W e regard
this as one of the best varieties in the dwarf section
of the early class. Height about 20 inches.

fit to pick 57 days from planting. Seed green,
wrinkled, medium in size.

World’s Record (Sutton’s). This is an English
TELEPHONE Pea introduced in 1907. The introducer says of

it: “The haulm is not so
tall as Sutton’s Early
Giant, and the pods are
scarcely so large, but it is
no exaggeration to say that
the World’s Record is the
earliest large podded mar-
rowfat pea in cultiva-
tion.” In our trial grounds
it has proved to be a very
fine large podded early
pea. Height of vine about
3 feet. Strong and vigor-
ous. Very prolific. Pods
green in color and con- ;
taining peas of very su- |
perior flavor. |

Triple Curled or Myatt’s Garnishing. Very finely
curled variety of dark green color. One of the best
varieties for all purposes.

CHAMPION MOSS CURLED PARSLEY

ferred on account of the very dark green color as well as the
hardiness of the plant and its superiority for flavoring. The
curled sorts are more extensively used for garnishing.

Hamburg Booted. The standard rooted sort. The leaves
are used for soup greens, and the roots when sliced are much
esteemed.

PARSNIP

Hollow Crown. Roots long, white, smooth, tender, sugary

one of the very best and largest Mango
Peppers ever introduced. Its mammoth
size, splendid shape, beautiful, rich, glossy-
red flesh and mild flavor, all lead us to speak
of it in words of commendation.

Procopp’s Giant. Very large, 'usually 8
to 9 inches long and 3 inches thick. Brilliant
3carlet color, flesh thick, of pleasant flavor.

LEONARD SEED COMPANY, CHICAGO

salmon-yellow, thick and fine grained.

Tennessee Sweet Potato. Hardy, productive,
sweet and delicious, and one of the best for cooking
purposes ever introduced.

RHUBARB

(Pie Plant)

Culture. Rhubarb succeeds best in deep, some-
what retentive soil. The richer its condition and the
deeper it is stirred the better. Sow in drills an inch
deep, and thin out the plants to six inches apart. In
the fall transplant the young plants into very highly
manured and deeply stirred soil, setting them four
to six feet apart each way, and give a dressing of
coarse manure every spring. The stalks should not
be plucked until the second year, and the plant never
allowed to exhaust itself by running to seed. Our
seed is saved from selected plants of the Linnaeus,
Victoria, Giant and other improved sorts, but like the
seeds of fruit trees, rhubarb seed cannot be relied upon
to reproduce the same varieties.

RADISH

SCARLET TURNIP WHITE TIPPED
RADISH

Leonard’s Three Leaf Radish. So named
on account of its extreme earliness and the fact
that when there are three leaves formed besides
the seed leaf it is large enough to eat. It is an
improved form of the well known Scarlet Olive.

Non Plus Ultra. This is one of the finest
forcing radishes. The roots are round, with a
deep scarlet colored skin, the flesh white, very
crisp and tender.

Olive Shaped Bright Red Leafless Forcing.

The extra early forcing radishes lately introduced
are remarkable for the small size of their leaves.
They develop their roots in so short a time that
the latter are practically in advance of the leaves.

Rosy Gem. One of the very earliest in
cultivation. Shape a perfect globe. Deep
scarlet top, blending into pure white at bottom.

Early Scarlet Turnip. The standard early
turnip radish. Fine flavored and mild.

Early Carmine Turnip. An extra early
variety of turnip shaped radish. It is very mild
and crisp. The flesh is white, the color is
carmine, and the radish looks bright, even when
wilted.

Scarlet Turnip, White Tipped Forcing.

An early strain of the White Tipped variety
having a short leaf and suitable to plant in the
green house.

Scarlet Turnip, White Tipped. One of the handsomest of the turnip radishes and a great favorite
in many large markets for early planting outdoors. It is but little later than the White Tipped Forcing,
and will give entire satisfaction where extreme earliness is not the primary object. Roots slightly flattened
on the under side, color very deep scarlet with a white tip ; flesh white and of the best quality.

Scarlet Olive. Very tender and a beautiful color. Early.

Early Scarlet Globe. A desirable sort for hotbed forcing and outdoors, very early; flavor mild; crisp,
juicy and tender; top small; will stand heat without becoming pithy.

New Deep Scarlet Turnip. This is a very bright colored Scarlet Turnip radish, very early and short
leaf, well adapted to forcing under glass. Matures in fourteen to twenty-one days, and its appearance
will sell it in any market.

Early White Turnip Rooted. A little flatter than the Scarlet Turnip, and pure white in color.

Half Long Deep Scarlet. A variety half the
length of Long Scarlet and of same form.

French Breakfast. Olive shaped, scarlet,
with white tip; crisp and tender.

Large White Summer Turnip. A very
large turnip shaped variety; white, very crisp and
mild.

Large Yellow Summer
above except in color.

Gray Summer Turnip.

summer.

Early White, Olive Shaped. Like Scarlet Olive
Shaped, except that the roots are clear white and a
little longer.

White Strasburg, or Summer Hospital.

Large, showy, half long, white sort. Grows with
great rapidity, sometimes producing a crop in six
weeks.

Giant Stuttgart. A summer variety. Grows
to an immense size. White flesh, very crisp and
tender. Of good flavor, and a good keeper.

Triumph Scarlet Striped Forcing or Startle.

The roots are the shape of Prussian Globe but larger
and are creamy white, beautifully marked with
spots and dashes of carmine.

Golden Globe. This variety is of quick growth,
affording crisp and tender radishes even in the
hottest climate and is extensively grown in the
south.

Turnip. Like the
Popular for mid-

SCARLET GLOBE RADISH

LEONARD SEED COMPANY, CHICAGO 75

RADISH

Long Brightest Scarlet, White Tipped. This is the brightest and
handsomest colored scarlet radish known, and a decided improvement in
earliness and color over other varieties of this class. It makes roots fit for use
in about twenty-five days from time of planting.

Chartier. Decidedly distinct in appearance. The color at the top
being crimson, running into pink about the middle and from thence downward
it is a pure waxy white.

Early Long Scarlet, Short Top. This bright scarlet, small topped sort
is about six inches long, is uniformly straight, smooth, brittle and crisp, and
is a standard and excellent sort for private gardens or market use.

The Cincinnati Market. The tops of this new radish are very small
and may stand much closer in rows than Wood’s Early Frame or Long Scarlet,
without danger of running to seed.

Crimson Giant Turnip, Forcing. A variety extraordinary in that,
while growing to an unusually large size, it is always tender, crisp and of mild
flavor. It remains in perfect condition a remarkably long time, and unlike
other forcing varieties, does not become pithy even when twice their size in
diameter.

White Icicle. This handsome white variety is becoming very popular.
It is similar to White Vienna but is not so long, is earlier and has a shorter leaf.
We recommend it as a profitable, early variety where a long white sort is
desired.

Wood’s Early Frame. Shorter and thicker than the Long Scarlet
Short Top, one of the very best sorts for first crop out of doors.

CRIMSON GIANT RADISH

Colorado Glass. Same as Chartier.

Small Early Yellow Turnip. Very early yellow
sort.

Long White Pearl. Similar to White Icicle.

Large White Spanish. A large rooted winter
variety.

Long White Vienna, or Lady Finger. A very
excellent white variety with long, very smooth white
roots, which are crisp and tender. It comes into use
shortly after Wood’s Frame and is one of the most
desirable of the white summer sorts.

Rose or Scarlet China. Roots cylindrical, or
largest at the bottom, tapering abruptly to a small tap.
Skin very smooth and of a bright rose color; flesh firm,
crisp, tender and quite pungent.

Round Black Spanish. Roots round, sometimes
top-shaped, three or four inches in diameter; skin
black, flesh white, very compact and highly flavored.
An excellent sort for winter, as the roots keep a long
time.

Long Black Spanish. One of the latest as well as
hardiest of the radishes; an excellent sort for winter
use.

California Mammoth. First introduced into this
country by the Chinese in California. It is pure white,
about one foot long, and two or three inches through,
tapering regularly to the tip. The flesh is tender and
crisp, keeping well through the winter.

White China or Celestial. A comparatively new
variety which is popular wherever known. The root
is long, cylindrical, with beautiful white skin and
flesh so white as to attract attention, even among the
other white varieties. The flesh is very tender and of
excellent quality.

SALSIFY

(VEGETABLE OYSTER)

The long white tapering root of salsify resembles a small parsnip, and
when cooked is a good substitute for oysters, having a very similar flavor.

Large White. The common variety; roots medium sized, smooth;
flesh white.

Mammoth Sandwich Island. This is in every way superior to the
Large White, being larger, stronger growing and less liable to branch.
Invaluable to market gardeners.

SORREL

Large Leaved French. The Standard Variety.

SPINACH

Victoria. An excellent sort, which forms a very large, exceedingly
thick, dark green leaf, somewhat curled in the center.

Savoy Leaved. The earliest variety and one of the best to plant in
autumn for early spring use. Plant of upright growth, with narrow,
pointed leaves which are curled like those of Savoy cabbage.

Round Summer Broad Leaved. This variety is generally preferred
in the North for early spring sowing, and is the most popular with our
market gardeners.

Broad Flanders. One of the most vigorous and strong growing
varieties. The leaves are nearly round, uniformly bright green, quite thick
and slightly crimped in the center.

Improved Thick Leaved. A variety which grows
very rapidly, forming a cluster of large, very thick,
slightly wrinkled leaves, recommended for market
gardeners.

Long Standing. An improved, round seeded strain
of excellent merit, having all the good qualities of
•other sorts and continuing in condition for use much
longer.

Prickly Winter. A very hardy variety, and will
withstand the severest weather with only a slight
protection of leaves or straw.

SQUASH

VICTORIA SPINACH

STRAIGHT-NECK

SUMMER

MAMMOTH
WHITE BUSH

Straight-Neck Summer Squash. In

our Straight-neck the bad feature of the
crook has been overcome and by continued
selection the size has been increased more
uniformly in shape, improved quality.

Mammoth White Bush. This vari-
ety is a selection made from the Early
White Bush; the improvement consists
in size of the squashes it produces.

Early White Bush or Patty-Pan.
Is earlier than any other variety of dwarf
habit and very productive. Summer
Squashes should always be used when
young and tender, which can be deter-
mined by an impression of the nail.

Early Yellow Bush Scallop or
Golden Custard. A very early, flat,
scalloped variety of largest size; color,
yellow; flesh pale yellow and well flavored.

Fordhook. The vines are of strong,
vigorous growth and wonderfully pro-
ductive. Fruits oblong in form, eight to
ten inches in length, slightly ridged;
smooth, thin, yellowish skin; flesh very
thick and of a light straw yellow.

Giant Crook - Neck. This strain is
a great improvement on the old variety
of Crook-neck. It is larger and better in
every way.

SQUASH — Continued

LEONARD’S WARTY HUBBARD

The Hubbard cannot be
too highly extolled as a
Winter Squash; it boils
smooth and dry, is of very
rich quality, and keeps as
solid as a rock. It is more
popular with private growers
than any other variety.

Leonard’s Warty Hub-
bard. This is the best
strain of Hubbard Squash.
By its rough, hard, warty
shell and its dark olive green
color, it can be distinguished
from any other strain either
in the field or on the market.
It was introduced by us in
1894, and since that time
under different names at
different places, it has been
given out to all who have

called for the best stock of Hubbard Squash. We have maintained its purity and offer headquarters’
seed. For keeping over winter this strain is superior to all others. It is the best shipping variety
and the best seller.

Hard Shelled Marrow. The best sort for canning and drying. The fruit is very large, oval, of deep
orange-red color and though quite smooth, has as hard a shell as the Hubbard. The flesh is very thick,
of rich orange-red color without a tinge of green.

Delicious. This is one of the best Winter varieties. Its color is almost uniform of a green shade,
with occasionally a blue specimen, it being just about as pure in this respect as was the original Hubbard.
In size it also closely follows the original Hubbard, which weighed between 5 and 10 pounds. In thickness
of flesh it surpasses nearly every variety, the color being a dark orange.

Orange Marrow. This is the earliest of all Winter varieties. Its distinctive feature and the one
which will give it the greatest and most wide-spread popularity, is its earliness; it is at least ten days earlier
than any other long-keeping sort. It grows as long as the Hubbard, and is of as good quality.

Golden Hubbard. This is a very distinct sort, of the shape and general character of the Hubbard,’1
but a little smaller; of rich orange red color, instead of the dark olive green.

Boston Marrow. Is the favorite Winter
Squash of the Eastern States; it is of fine flavor,
and a good keeper.

THE HUBBARD

LEONARD SEED COMPANY, CHICAGO

Chalk’s Early Jewel. We consider this one of the very best early tomatoes yet introduced. Vine
vigorous and very productive. Fruit deep scarlet-red.

Matchless. The best large-fruited bright red tomato. Matchless is well worthy of its name; in
beauty and symmetry of form it is indeed without a fault.

Earliana. Vine similar in growth, maturing bulk of crop as early as Atlantic Prize, but the deep
scarlet fruit is larger, distinctly smoother, solid and of very good quality. Early, smooth and of a large
size it is a particularly profitable tomato for market gardeners.

Crines June Pink. A fine new variety. It is highly recommended to gardeners whose trade de-
mands the purplish pink sorts. It is the earliest of this class of tomatoes and fills the place in them
that Earliana does in the bright red sorts.

Livingston’s Globe. Another new variety of
exceptional merit. It is of beautiful globe shape, with
quite a percentage of elongated (stem to blossom) fruits,
which permits a greater number of shoes being taken
than with flat fruited sorts. Color a beautiful glossy
rose, tinged purple.

Dwarf Champion. A purplish pink variety form-
ing a strong, erect, bushy plant two feet high. Often
sold as tree tomato. Fruit smooth, medium sized,
fairly solid and of good flavor.

Ignotum. A very good red fruited variety.

Paragon. The well-known standard bright red
tomato.

Stone. Large, smooth, solid, scarlet, highly recom-
mended.

Trophy. Very large, solid, and generally smooth;
bright red.

Leonard’s Early
Market. A very prolific
early red variety.

Atlantic Prize. Small,
irregular, bright red;
extremely early.

Early Michigan. One
of the best second early
sorts. Fruit crimson-scar-
let.

Royal Red. One of
the best red main crop
sorts.

Optimus. One of the
best table tomatoes in
quality. Fruit medium
sized and of bright crim-
son-scarlet color.

Dwarf Aristocrat. Up-
right growth; bright red
fruits.

Dwarf Stone. As its

name implies this is a
dwarf variety bearing
fruits similar to that pop-
ular canners’ sort, the
Stone.

Volunteer.

Livingston’s Perfec-
tion. In our opinion
identical with Paragon.

Honor Bright. First white, then brilliant scarlet ;
extremely solid.

Acme. The well-known popular standard bright
pink tomato.

Livingston’s Beauty. Large, solid, smooth; purp-
lish pink.

Livingston’s Favorite. Bright red, smooth, of
good size.

TOMATO

Turner Hybrid or Mikado. Large-fruited
purple; potato leaf.

Imperial. Large purple-fruited, early.

Essex Early Hybrid. Similar to the Acme, fruit
purplish pink, always smooth and handsome; in
quality is classed with the best.

Buckeye State. One of the best late purplish
pink varieties. Vine exceptionally strong growing
and vigorous and growers in some sections of the
south claim that it is blight proof. It should be
given more room than most. Fruit very large,
round, smooth and firm. An excellent shipper.

Ponderosa. A purplish pink tomato of largest
size. Vine vigorous and very productive. Fruit
very solid, fairly smooth and considered of very
good quality, especially by those who prefer a
tomato quite free from acid.

Dwarf Giant. A very large fruited Dwarf
Champion.

Greater Baltimore. A splendid variety for
canning, similar to Stone.

Tenderloin. Similar to Ponderosa.

Magnus. A variety with potato leaved foliage, producing purplish pink fruit of the largest size; much
smoother than most of the large fruited sorts and matures earlier.

Crimson Cushion. A large fruited variety; smooth on the top but inclined to curve at the ends
making an indenture at the stem. Color a glossy crimson tinged pink. Fruit ripens evenly, except toward
the stem where it ripens somewhat slowly. A very solid heavy tomato.

New Coreless. This variety has less indenture than any other of the red varieties. It has no corru-
gations at stem end, and absolutely no green core; for these reasons it is a model variety for canning and
catsup.

Model Tomato. A new variety. Foliage is very large, broad, very deep, dark green, and is heavily
blistered. The fruit is first-class in size, smooth, very neat, and of best quality. Color, deep, brilliant
scarlet.

Yellow Cherry. The small yellow fruits, borne in clusters, average half an inch in diameter.

Bed Cherry. Little fruits of a bright scarlet color.

Strawberry or Husk Tomato. Plants of low-spreading growth and immensely productive. The
small yellow fruits are each enclosed in a husk. Of very sweet flavor, highly esteemed for preserving or

ful golden yellow, sometimes with a slight blush of red, as
smooth and well shaped as the best of the red varieties and of
superior flavor.

Red Rock. An extraordinarily solid, smooth, very red
tomato; a very heavy producer of excellent shape and very
superior texture and flavor. An excellent variety for truckers
and canning factories on account of its shape, quality and
productiveness This tomato is very free from cracks, has

MISCELLANEOUS GRAINS & FARM SEEDS

DWARF ESSEX RAPE

A forage plant of great merit, easily grown in
any part of the United States, on any land that will
raise turnips or corn, and will furnish abundant sup-
plies of succulent, rich, nutritious pasture, at a
season when it is most needed. It is of great value
for sheep and lambs, and when turned on it, to use a
common expression, “they soon weigh like lead.”
It is also of value for pasturing cattle. One acre of
rape is sufficient to pasture ten to fifteen lambs
for two or two and one-half months. It is often
sown broadcast, about five pounds to the acre, but
will yield much better if drilled about two pounds
to the acre, in rows twenty-two inches apart, and
cultivated until plants are too large. Seed may be
sown in May, but we do not advise sowing until
June or July. Can, however, be sown with grain in
the spring, and is said not to interfere with the grain
crop.

FLAX

Russian. We have some very choice seeds of
this, much superior in every way to common flax.
It will increase the yield and add to the value of
the product. Most of the flax of the country is
badly run out. It will pay you well to secure some
new seed.

BROOM CORN

Tennessee Evergreen. More largely grown in
the Western states than any other. The brush is
noted for its fine quality, good length and handsome
appearance. Cut before the seed is ripe, it is a
beautiful pea green color.

Missouri Evergreen. Has coarser brush than
the Tennessee and is therefore desirable for making
heavy brooms.

SUGAR CANE

Early Amber. Its early maturity adapts it
almost to every section. It has given entire satis-
faction wherever introduced as a profitable crop for
fodder as well as for sugar-making.

MILLET SEED

Siberian. A new and wonderfully productive
forage plant from Russia, which has given excellent
results in the United States.

Pearl. (Penicillaria Spicata.) A valuable fod-
der plant for the South; is enormously productive.
Sow in drills eighteen inches apart, and 8 to 10
pounds to the acre.

Hog. Known also as Broom Corn Millet.
Quite unlike the German and common millet in
habit of growth as well as the appearance of the
seed, which is much larger. The name, Hog Millet,
has been employed to emphasize the use to which
it is now being put as an economical and valuable
food for hogs.

Japanese Barnyard. (Panicum Crus Galll.)

This wonderful and valuable new forage plant was
introduced into this country by Prof. Brooks, of the
Massachusetts agricultural experiment station.

Common. (Panicum Miliaceum.) Requires
a dry, fight, rich soil, and grows two and one-half
to four feet high, with fine bulk of stock and leaves,
and is excellent for forage. Sow broadcast from
May 1 to June 20, if for seed, or until the last of.
July, if for hay.

German or Golden. This variety is not so
early as the Common millet, but yields a much
larger crop.

Hungarian Grass. (Panicum Germanicum.)

A valuable forage plant. Succeeds well on dry,
fight soil. Withstands the drought remarkably.

MISCELLANEOUS
SEEDS AND ROOTS

PEANUTS

Peanuts can be raised with but little expense, and are
an exceedingly productive and paying crop. They are
planted in much the same manner as potatoes, and require
but little care beyond hilling up the young plants.

Spanish. This variety is smaller and sweeter than
the common, or Virginia. Plants grow upright and
strong, and are easily harvested.

Virginia. This is the common peanut grown in the
South.

AILANTHUS, OR TREE OF HEAVEN

AILANTHUS

(Tree of Heaven)

This splendid ornamental tree is a native of China, where
it is called the Tree of Heaven, from its great beauty. It is
very hardy, and thrives in any soil, no matter how poor, and
grows from 6 to 10 feet high from seed the first summer. The
leaves, from 5 to 6 feet in length, give it a grand appearance.
Nothing outside the tropics can rival it for lawn decoration.
Large panicles of bloom, followed in season by great clusters
of colored seed pods, make the tree a continual thing of
beauty.

RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER

This is highly prized by poultry raisers and farmers as a
cheap food for fowls. It is immensely productive and can be
raised cheaper than corn, as any waste piece of ground will
suffice. It is the best egg producing food known.

JERUSALEM ARTICHOKE

This variety is cultivated for its tubers, which are especially
valuable for stock feeding on account of their fattening prop-
erties ; they are well adapted to any soil where corn and
potatoes can be grown. They are the best hog food, a pre-
ventive of cholera and other hog diseases. Three bushels
of tubers are sufficient to seed one acre; cut to one eye, the
same as potatoes, planting in April or May in rows 3 feet
apart ana 2 feet in the rows, and cover about 2 inches deep.

JAPANESE BUCKWHEAT

SEED BUCKWHEAT

Japanese. The kernels are at least twice the size of those
of any other variety, and of a shape peculiar and distinct
from all others. The color of the kernels is also most distinct,
being a rich, dark shade of brown. The straw is heavier,
very branchy, and does not need to be sown as thickly
as other kinds. The quality is excellent and the yield is
enormous. It is about a week earlier in ripening than the
Silver Hull.

Silver Hull. This improved variety is much better than
the old sort. It is in bloom longer, matures sooner, and yields
double the quantity per acre. The husk is thinner, the cor-
ners less prominent and the grain of a beautiful light gray
color. The flour is said to be better and more nutritious.

Common. Buckwheat should be sown about the 20th
of June, broadcast, at the rate of from 1 to 3 pecks per acre.
The average yield is from 25 to 30 bushels per acre. It
should be threshed as soon as dry, on the ground or barn
floor. If allowed to stand in mass it quickly gathers moisture.

VETCHES

Sand, Winter or Hairy. (Vicia Villosa.) This variety
thrives on poor, arid, sandy soils. It is sown either
in fall or in spring, and generally mixed with rye, which serves
as a support to the plants. It grows to a height of from 3 to
4 feet, and can be cut twice for fodder, first as soon as the
bloom appears, and then it can be again cut for the seed. The
plant is perfectly hardy, and the produce is recommended as most nutritious. The seed is black and
perfectly round, and should be sown at the rate of 1H bushels to the acre.

BEANS FOB FODDER

Velvet Bean. (Dolichos Multiflorus.) This new bean is becoming
very popular in the South and middle North. It is very prolific, vines
running over 12 feet long; both vines and pods are eaten by all kinds
of stock. An excellent fertilizing plant for plowing under.

Soja Bean, or Coffee Berry. This valuable forage plant is one of
the most nutritious of all vegetable products. It will produce a crop of 20
to 30 bushels per acre, and is as easily grown as other beans. For pastur-
ing or feeding as green fodder it is very valuable, and nearly equal to
clover for fertilizing.

KAFFIR CORN

Kaffir Corn. One of the best forage plants. If the crop is wanted
mainly for fodder, it is recommended to cut down the whole stalk when
the first seed heads come into bloom. The second growth springing at
once from the roots, will still mature (in climates similar to Central Kan-
sas) a full crop of
grain and a second
full crop of forage
before the middle
of October. Sow in
rows 3 feet apart, 3
to 6 pounds of seed
to the acre.

WINTER OR SAND VETCH

DHOURA CORN

Yellow Branching. (Yellow Millo Maize.)
It is non-saccharine. Useful only for the large
amount of foliage, green feed or cured fodder that it
furnishes, and for its grain.

Jerusalem Corn. One of the best and surest
for dry countries and seasons. Grows about three
feet high, with one large head on main stalk and
several smaller heads on side shoots. The grains are
white and nearly flat.

CANADA FIELD PEAS

"Peas could be made to bring more nitrogen to the soils of this country every year
than is now purchased annually by the farmers at a cost of millions of dollars.” —
Year-book of the U. S. Department of Agriculture.

For the Northern States there is no crop of greater value than Field Peas and none
is more neglected, which can only be attributed to a lack of knowledge as to its
merits. Whether for fodder, in mixture with oats, sown at the rate of two bushels
each per acre, or the Peas sown alone at the rate of three bushels per acre for plowing
under, there is no crop that we can so strongly recommend for more extended culture.

Fall or Winter. The time for sowing is from the middle of August to the last
of September. One plowing is given and the seed sown broadcast at the rate of one
and one-half bushels per acre, and dragged in. Harrowing and rolling in the spring
are recommended.

Spring. Although this grain is often planted by farmers especially for the paper
makers, who prefer it to any other, its principal value is as a “catch” crop, to sow
where winter grain has failed.

POULTRY SUPPLIES

PEA SCREENINGS, WHOLE AND SPLIT PEAS, ETC*

Chicken and Pigeon fanciers in the vicinity
of Chicago are unanimous m their praise of
Peas as a food for their fowls. They feed the
Pea Screenings which contain both whole and
split peas alone or by combining with regular
mixed food. It can also be ground and fed
as a mash with other grain and for this pur-
pose is unsurpassed. Our large milling
operations in Seed Peas place us in a position
to furnish at all times, not only the best stock
but also give the purchaser an opportunity
of choosing from many different samples and
grades.

Samples and prices on quantity sub-
mitted on application.

CRUSHED OYSTER SHELLS

Crushed oyster shells, to a large extent, will supply the necessary material for grinding their food and at
the same time furnish lime for the egg shells. Chemical analysis and experiments, together with the reports
from many practical poultry men, show conclusively that the ordinary grain and the green food supplied
to laying hens do not contain enough lime for the formation of the egg shells. It will require several times
as much lime as is ordinarily fed, if good strong egg shells are to be produced. Crushed oysters shells will
supply this necessary lime if kept continually before the fowls, trusting to them to eat the amount needed
rather than mixing the shells with food. The judgment of the fowls can be relied upon in this respect.

No. 0

WILSON’S MILLS

For poultry raisers the Wilson Mills are
almost indispensable. They can be used for
grinding oyster shells, bones, stones, old crock-
ery, etc. The grist Mill No. 0 for grinding
into meal all sorts of corn, wheat and other
grain. The Bone Mill No. 1 for grinding oyster
shells or any other hard substance.

Write for Other Information.

PEARL SHELL GRIT

Pearl grit is a crushed shell obtained in
connection with the manufacture of pearl
buttons. It contains the same amount of
lime, but less salt than Oyster Shell and
acts as a grit in grinding the food of fowls,
birds, pigeons, etc., making by far the
most serviceable and economical grit upon
the market. We can furnish this grit in
any quantity desired. Many leading
poultry men now use Pearl Grit exclusively.

MICA CRYSTAL GRIT

Examinations of 100 gizzards taken from
chickens supposed to have died from
Cholera, had no grit of any kind to digest
their food, and in each case Diarrhoea
existed 3 or 4 days before death and food
had passed through gizzards just as eaten,
proving that indigestion alone was re-
sponsible. Analysis, furthermore, proves
that Mica Crystal Grit is the only rock
known showing the combination of Mica,
Quartz, Aluminum, Iron and Magnesium,
essential to all poultry.

We carry in stock three sizes. Large
for old poultry, geese, ducks and turkeys.
Medium for pigeons, and small size for
young chickens.

PLANET JR. FARM AND GARDEN TOOLS

Planet Jr. No. 6 Combined Seed Drill,
Single Wheel Hoe, Cultivator
and Plow

Planet Jr. No. 3 Hill and Drill Seeder

This seeder is the latest and most perfect de-
velopment of the hand seed drill. It sows
evenly in drills, and also drops in hills at 4,
6, 8, 12 or 24 inches apart. It is thrown out
of gear instantly by moving a convenient lever,
or the flow of seed is stopped by pushing
down the feed rod. No time is lost, no seed
is wasted. It is quickly set to sow the dif-
ferent kinds of seeds in the exact thickness
required.

The accurate hill-dropping drill, which gives
a regular stand of plants with the least seed,
saves its cost over and over again in seed alone.
We guarantee this drill to be accurate and give
satisfaction in every respect.

Planet Jr. No. 4 Combined Seed Drill, Single
Wheel Hoe, Cultivator and Plow

The No. 4 Planet Jr. Combined Drill and Hoe is
capable of a large variety of uses, as it will make
the furrow, drop the seed, mark rows, roll down,
and is extremely valuable as a land cultivator
for all times of the year on any crop. Every
reader should secure the Planet Jr. illustrated
Catalogue for 1913, showing the No. 4 and many
other valuable hand and horse labor-saving farm
implements. This book will be of much interest
to every man or woman who tills the soil for pleasure
or for profit. It may be had by sending a postal
card.

This is the most popular combined tool made.
It combines in a single implement a first-class
hill-dropping seeder, a Single Wheel Hoe or Weeder,
a cultivator and a plow. The hopper holds two
quarts of seed, which can be sown in continuous
rows, or dropped in hills at 4, 6, 8, 12 or 24 inches
apart.

The drill is detached and the tool frame sub-
stituted by removing but one bolt. It then becomes
a single wheel hoe. It is useful almost every, day
of the season, at every stage of the garden work.
With this one implement the small farmer can do
practically all the work in his small crops.

No. 5 Planet Jr. Hill and Drill Seeder

Planet Jr. No. 25 Combined Hill and Drill
Seeder, Double Wheel Hoe, Cultivator
and Plow

This new combined machine is intended for gard-
eners who have a large enough acreage in crops for
a Double Wheel Hoe to be used to good advantage
and prefer not to buy separate machines.

As a drill it is almost identical with the Planet
Jr. No. 4 Drill, and is thoroughly substantial and
accurate in sowing all kinds of garden seeds in
hills or drills.

As a Wheel Hoe it is identical with the Planet
Jr. No. 12 Double Wheel Hoe, the very best machine
on the market. The change from Drill to Wheel
Hoe takes but a moment, and the whole combination
is one we can heartily recommend and guarantee
satisfactorily.

The Planet Jr. Seed Drills are gaining in
popularity. Market gardeners are beginning
to realize that the extra cost of these Drills
Is more than made up for by the time gained
by using them.

16^ inch steel wheel. Sheet steel hopper holding
5 quarts. Weight, packed, 51 lbs.

Special size for market gardeners and farmers, for
sugar beet and onion set growers, etc. It is the
great hand-power planter for both hills and drills,
where the amount of sowing to be done is large.
It runs light, and plants equally well with a full
hopper or with an ounce of seed, and up hill or down.

Easiest to operate.

Is a complete machine within itself.

Needs no extra parts.

The only garden tool made that throws the soil

A new tool which in a simple form without attach^

complicated attachments and combinations needed
by others.

By a simple changing of the bolts it automatically
adjusts itself to suit the occasion. It can be worked
in gravel soil, through sticks and coarse straw or
stubble of any kind. In stony land it works as well
as in the softest loam.

MARKET GARDENERS BUY IT ON SIGHT

The Chicago Market Gardeners are quite enthusi-
astic about the good points of this new tool. They
are satisfied that it will do better work than any
garden cultivator that has ever been sent out. We
have had thirty years experience selling tools to
these gardeners and have never shown a tool to
them which has met with such ready sales. These
gardeners know what they want, they plant all
kinds of garden crops, they have tried all the hand
cultivators that are known to the trade, and this
one they concede comes nearest to their idea of
perfection.

EXCELS AND SUPERCEDES ALL

The work that can be done with the Perfection
Cultivator is so much in advance of what other tools
can do, in completeness and efficiency, that natur-
ally it will be preferred and will eventually take first
place as a garden cultivator.

INVENTED BY A PRACTICAL TRUCK FARMER

The inventor of this tool is a practical onion
grower and trucker. During his thirty years in
truck farming and onion growing, he has tried out
all of the garden cultivators that have been made
and recommended during that time. He knows the
good points as well as the defects of each. From
this knowledge he has perfected, after repeated ef-
forts, this new tool which, in a simple form, does
all the work that can be done by the complicated
attachments and combinations of the others.

THE ONLY DISC AND KNIFE WEEDER

The Perfection Garden Cultivator is the only ma-
chine that has the disc and knife principle scientif-
ically applied. The knife and discs work together
causing a deep stirring of the soil and a total de-
struction of the weeds. The thumb screw adjust-
ment changes the angle of the discs by a simple
turn, and a reversal of the discs throws the soil to
or from the plants.

PERFECTION
GARDEN CULTIVATOR

Is made in three sizes, viz:

No. 1. With two discs, on which 6 inch or
7 inch knives may be used.

No. 2. With four discs, on which 1\ inch, 8£
inch or 8f inch knives may be used.

No. 3. With four discs, on which 10 inch or
11 inch knives may be used.

The No. 1 will work rows 9 to 11 inches wide,

No 2 will work rows 11 to 14 inches wide, No. 3
will work rows 13 to 16 inches wide.

Mention what size knives you wish when
ordering. The price is the same for any of the
sizes.

The stiff wire leaf guards keeps the tops of the plants away from
the discs.

Model

The New Model Seed Drill

The New Model is the most used and best liked seed drill around
Chicago. It is simple in construction — easy to operate — and seldom
gets out of order. The diamond shaped adjustable hole regulates
the flow of seed and can be made larger or smaller as occasion
requires. The seed cut-off claps up under the diamond
shaped hole, it does not slide under as in some
seed drills and for this reason does not clog or cut
the seed. The New Model readily plants all kinds
of seed including parsnip and
salsify which are about the hardest
seed to sow evenly. We know
that this popular drill will give
entire satisfaction and believe that
we can recommend no better ma*
chine. They are packed in a crate
ready to ship.

A No. 3 PLANET JR. AT WORK

Iron Age No. 22 Seed Drill with Fertilizer

Applies the fertilizer fin connection with the
seed, just where it will do the most good. The
fertilizer is sown by force feed — no stoppage
from small lumps. Coverers draw the soil
over the fertilizer soon as sown; two opening
plows are provided — one or both can be used;
the distributor tubes are brass wire, will not rust
and are flexible to allow for narrow and wide
adjustments of the plows. Sows seed in con-
tinuous rows or drops in hills. Can be used as
a side dresser and is sold as such only when
so ordered.

We carry at all times a full stock of repairs
for the New Model Drills. Sometimes a very
small piece will fix an old machine up as good
as new. We list here the parts most called for:

A 9 Marker drag holder with stick.

A 10 Marker drags.

Planet Jr No. 3 Drill

The No. 3 Planet Jr. is the drill best suited
to gardeners’ use, although the No. 5 is identical
with the No. 3 except that it is much larger
and for that reason is
much used among the
onion set growers.

The No. 4 Planet Jr. is
a combination drill and
single wheel hoe. As a

THE BARKER WEEDER

PERFECTION
GARDEN CULTIVATOR

Different from Others —

Superior to All

For thirty year’s a satisfactory hand cultivator
has been sought for; improvements, combinations
and auxiliaries have been added to the older makes
without resulting in complete satisfaction. In this
new weeder, the defects have been overcome and
satisfactory work is the result. 1 1 does away with
combinations and attachments. It does all the work
that any combination or attachment can do.

See page 111 for complete description.

PERFECTION GARDEN CULTIVATOR

MASTERS RAPID PLANT SETTER

Is built to do actual plant setting. It is no plaything but is strong
and durable, and with fair play will set out more than a million plants
before it is worn out.

THE OPERATION °f our Plant Setter is very sim=

pie. You mark off your land

both ways, then haul out a few barrels of water (about
two barrels to the acre is usually enough) place these
barrels on the headlands and have a few thousand plants
all ready pulled, and place a good box full on the head-
land at the water barrels.

THE MAN who is going to do the setting simply

. . needs a common grape or peach basket

with the handle cut off entirely, then pass a leather strap
or stout cord through one side of the basket and fasten
same around your waist; take the Planter in your right
hand and have it nearly full of water and start down the
row, putting in a plant at every mark clear across the field;
fill up your basket with plants at the end of every row, also your Planter with water,
and thus keep going back and forth across the field all day, and in ten hours any ordi-
nary farm hand can set 10,000 to 12,000 plants and when a man gets well used to the
Planter and has his land in the best condition possible he can set 15,000 plants per day
without special effort.

Makes transplanting EASY, PLEASANT WORK and will produce a perfect stand of plants d» A AB
and a better quality crop. PRICE *PtwU
