VEGETABLE SEED SPECIALTIES AND LATE 
INTRODUCTIONS. 
IDEAL POLE LIMA BEAN—A new, very prolific, large, white-seeded Pole Lima Bean, 
one of the best main crop sorts in existence. It begins to mature pods early in the 
season, continuing in enormous productivity until cut down by frost. Pods and 
beans are enormous in size, the former often § inches in length and correspondingly 
broad. enclosing 5 to 7 plump, tender, richly flavored beans. The vigor of growth 
of the vine enables it to withstand un‘’avorable weather conditions unharmed, Pkt, 
10c; pint 20c; quart 35c; % peck $1.15; peck $2.00. 
SURE CROP WAX BEAN—A handsome semi-round podded sort coming into use 
about a week later than our Rust-Proof Wax. The vines are very vigorous in 
growth, bearing long handsome pods of a golden yellow color, very fleshy, tender 
and meaty. On account of its handsome appearance and delicate flavor, this 
variety, we predict, will become a strong favorite. The quality is all that can be 
desired, and it is entirely free from strings or tough fibre. Pkt. 10c; pint 25c; 
quart 40c; % peek $1.25; peck $2.40; bushel $9.00; (by mail, pint 35c; quart 55c). 
NEW EXTRA EARLY SNOWBALL OR “DANISH PERFECTION” CAULIFLOWER 
—In Danish Perfection, a selection from Early Snowball, we have, without 
question, reached the highest excellence in Early Cauliflowers. Ten to twelve 
days earlier than the popular Early Snowball, very uniform in type, a sure and 
even header, it is undoubtedly a very valuable acquisition, especially for extra 
early work. See further deseription on page 15. Pkt. 25c; 4 oz. $1.00; oz. $3.50; 
4 Ib. $12.00. 
GOLDEN BANTAM SWEET CORN—The remarkable popularity of this com- 
paratively new table Corn is easily understood by anyone who has the pleas- 
ure in summer of tasting the newly gathered corn. In sweetness and rich- 
ness of flavor it is far superior to any of the well-known, old-time sorts, and 
when once grown, always thereafter is given first place in the grower’s 
garden. It is golden-yellow when prepared for the table, and looks like 
field corn. Its appearance, however, belies its true, delicious flavor. So well 
is it liked that many plant the Seed at intervals during the spring and 
summer, so as to prolong the ripening season as much as possible. Pkt. 5c; 
pint 20c; quart 30c; % peck S5e; peck $1.60; bushel $5.75. 
MILWAUKEE MARKET MUSKMELON—The finest, most delicious Melon

form in size and produced in great abundance. (See page 28.) Pkt. 
10c; oz. 25c; % lb. 75e; 1 Ib. $2.50. 
GOLD LINED ROCKY FORD MUSKMELON—This new Melon is 
a result of several years’ selection by one of the most pro- 
gressive growers of Hocky Ford, Colo., one of the ideal melon 
growing sections of the country. It is slightly oval in shape, 
has no ribs, and is heavily netted. The Melon is thick-meatea 
from end to end, fine-grained and sweet; color green, with a 
eold margin or lining next to the seed cavity. See illustra- 
tion, page Z8. No Muskmelon lover should fail to try this 
splendid introduction. Pkt. 10c; 0z. 25c; 4% lb. 75e; 1 lb. $2.50. 
NEW RADISH “SAXA”—An improved turnip-rooted Radish®@ 
offered tor the first time this year. It is a fiery scarlet, per- ~ 
fectly glebuiar in shape, the leaves small and the root the 
thinnest possible tail. The bulb begins to develop when the 
first pair of leaves have scarcely raised themselves above the 
ground. In less than three 
weeks from the day of sow- 
ing “Saxa’’ is ready for the 
table, The flesh is firm, 
erisp and juicy, remaining 
so for a long time without 
becoming spongy. hy 3) 
recommended equally for 
open ground culture and for 
forcing, for which it was 
particularly developed and 
is especially adapted. In 
packets only at 20c each. 
CREAM CITY TOMATO—Tnhe 
first large Tomato to ripen. 
This variety was introduced 
by ourselves some years ago 
and still maintains its posi-~ 
tion of paramount excel- 
lence among the first-early, 
large, heavy yielding sorts. 
The plants are stout and vigorous, producing an abundance of large, 
beautifully shaped, smooth-skinned Tomatoes, which ripen with the 
very early, small, usually unshapely fruits produced by other extra 
early varieties. The flesh is thick, firm and solid. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; 
Eales her) deliby $3200: 
IDPAL POLE LIMA BEAN, 
EARLY SUNRISE TOMATO—This. is a variety much used in the British 
Isles for forcing, for which purpose it is one of the best. On this side 
it has shown itself to be quite a remarkable outdoor sort. It is ex- 
tremely early, maturing its first fruits by mid-summer, and a very 
heavy cropper, producing large numbers of fruit clusters, each bearing 
half a dozen to twelve or fourteen smooth, even, very fair-sized fruits. 
It is a vigorous grower, is not subject to disease, the flesh is solid and 
of fine flavor, the color bright scarlet. We recommend it very highly 
both for outdoor use and for forcing. Pkt. 20c; 1% oz, 60c.
