BUSH LIMA. 



Lima Beans do not receive the attention in our State that they deserve. 

 Sown at the same time as Wax Beans, they mature a crop of shell beans 

 by August. These shelled Lima Beans are admitted to be the most deli- 

 cately flavored of all the bean family. Lima Beans and shelled green 

 co^rn constitute the famous dish called "Succotash," so much used in the 

 Eastern States. 

 ..Jackson AVomder Dwarf Lima — An extraordinary productive variety, w^ith 

 broad, flat pods similar in shape to the small Lima. The pods may be 

 used as Snap Beans when young, and when filled shelled as Lima Beans.

 pf large Pole Limas. Pkt. 10c; pint 20c; quart 30c; % peck 90c; peck

Henderson's Bush Lima — The earliest and most productive of all the 

 Bush Limas, coming in directly after the Green and Wax podded sorts; 

 It IS therefore a decided acquisition, filling up the gap between the 

 Dwarf and Pole Beans. It is of true Bush form, and will come into 

 bearing the latter part of July and continue yielding an enormous crop 

 of delicious Beans all through the summer. Pkt. 10c; pint 20c; quart

E.iRLY SNOWB.VLL CAULIPLOWEK. 



German, Blumeukohl. French, Choufleur. 



As recommended in Cabbage culture, the seeds should be sown 

 in February or March in a hot-bed, transplanting the plants 

 when large enough into another or the same frame, and gradu- 

 ally hardening them off, preparatory to planting them out as 

 early as the ground is in a fit condition. Any good garden soil, 

 if thoroughly cultivated and made very rich by manuring, will 

 suit. Careful attention in the matter of -tvatering, destroying 

 insects and thorough cultivation will be repaid. 1 oz. for about 

 1,000 plants set 2V. feet apart each wav. 



/ EARLY SNOWBALL — Extra Selected. 

 The Earli^t of all Cauliflowers. The only sort for market gar- 

 deners to use. Sure to head, and remains pure and white when 

 others are discolored and unsalable. The standard variety for 

 the market gardener or amateur. The seed we offer is grown 

 for us by one of the most reliable Cauliflower growers in 

 Europe, and the great care taken by him to keep it up to the 

 highest standard is manifested in the superiority of the crops 

 grown from it every year. It is of dwarf, compact habit, 

 heads very large, compact, pure white and of the very best 

 quality. Not only is this the best early variety, but is su- 

 perior to all others for fall use. Pkt. 25c; 14 oz. $1.00; oz.
