1040. Early Leviathan Pole Lima Bean. Kvery grower, either private or for mar- 

 ket should try this wonderful early and enormously productive large Lima Bean. The best 

 variety of Pole Lima for general use. This delicious vegetable is denied many would-be 

 growers on account of the length of season required to mature and the early frost coming on 

 just as the crop is ready to pick. This sort is at least one week earlier than any large Pole 

 Lima yet offered and fully two weeks earlier than most, consequently it will prove a boon 

 to thousands of growers. Barliness is often obtained at a sacrifice of other features, but in 

 this variety we claim superiorly not only in this respect, but in size of bean and pod and 

 enormous productiveness. Pt. 20c. Qt. 30c. 4 Qts. 90c. Pk. Sl.75. Bu. S6.50.

Our beet is carefully gro7vn from the very best stock seeds in the world. In addition to this, 



we take out of the ground each Beet and examine it caj'efully if the color is not a fine dark 



red. and is not pejfect in shape, and if it is late in 7naturing, we ti'itl destroy it as 



7i'e only save our seed fro7ji as near pejfect roots as it is possible to grow. 



Culture. Fibrous loam, well drained and well enriched, will raise good Beet crop. For 



early table Beets, have drills 16 to 20inches apart, and sow the seed about 1 inch deep, as early 



as the ground can be put in good shape. Or seed may be sown under glass four weeks sooner, 



and the young seedlings transplanted to open ground, to give an extra early crop. Give 



thorough and clean cultivation, and thin the plants to stand 3 to 4 inches apart in the rows. 



For succession sow at intervals until the middle of July. For the earliest sowings a light 



dressing of nitrate of soda, say 100 pounds per acre, will sometimes work wonders. 



295. "Bon Fire" Bolgiano's New Early Beet. (.Specialty, see page 13.) A splendid 

 new variety especially adapted for market gardeners, being suited for forcing under glass 

 and for open ground culture. It is perfectly globe-shape and very early maturing, some 

 days before Crosby's Egyptian. The leaf, stalks and single, tiny tap root are very small, 

 making it valuable for both early and late sowing in frames. The skin is smooth, the flesh 

 is very sweet, solid and an intense bright red in color. For home garden this Beet will 

 be found desirable as it retains its freshness and high quality without becoming tough.
