Culture of Pole Lima,—Choose light soil and make small hills three feet apart, having 
previously spaded deeply and fertilized. Plant long poles two feet deep in the center 
of the hills. Allow six beans to each hill, covering them barely beneath the surface, 
their eyes downward. Donot allow more than three to climb a pole, but remove extra 
plants to hills where less than three have sprouted. The Lima Bean is very delicate, 
and often fails to sprout from slight causes; they should not be planted until the 
ground is warm. 
Beets. 
Our Beet Seed is grown from SELECTED TRANSPLANTED ROOTS and 
has given truckers and market gardeners, who appreciate a high standard of 
perfection, the utmost satisfaction. One ounce will sow 50 feet of soil, 5 to 6 
pounds foranacre. The soil best suited for beet culture is that which is rather 
light and well enriched. Sow in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep, as early 
as the ground can be worked. When the plants are large enough thin out to 
stand 6 inches apart in rows; continue sowing for a succession as late as the 
middle of August. Keep well cultivated. 
CROSBY’S IMPROVED EGYPTIAN BEET. 
VCrosby Extra Early.—A very 
superior strain of blood-red Egypt- 
ian, carefully selected for years by 
Mr. Crosby, a noted market gar- 
dener, whose aim was to secure a 
perfect forcing variety. The re- 
sults obtained were handsome 
form, good size, few small tops, 
very small tap root, fine quality, 
and, above all, quick rapid growth. 
The shape is very desirable, not 
quite so flat as the ordinary Egypt- 
ian, nor so round as the Eclipse. 
Best shape for packing and ship- 
ping. Takes on its turnip shape 
and looks well even in the early & 
stages of its growth, on which ac- 
count it is preferred. This is a 
decided advantage to those who force for real early market, and especially for 
a market where beets are sold in bunches. Once used, it is preferred to all 
others for forcing in frames or for first sowing outside. Packets, 5 and Ioc.
