Novelties and Specialties in Vegetable Seeds. 



ARTICHOKE. 



LARGE GREEN GLOBE. 



A most delicious vegetable, which will be- 

 come more popular when better known. The 

 large Green Globe variety is of better quality 

 and gives more edible part than the common 

 sort. The edible part is the undeveloped flowei 

 head, which may be eaten raw or used as a 

 salad. Plants set out in April or May 3 ft. x 3 ft 

 will produce heads in July and continue to do so 

 until the end of October. It will only produce 

 a partial crop the first season, but being a 

 perennial, will remain in bearing for years in the 

 same bed. As soon as the head is taken off, 

 the stalk should be cut down close to the mail* 

 stock or root. Succeeds best in a very rich 

 light, moist soil. Should have protection in 

 winter in our northern climate.

ARTICHOKE, LARGE GREEN GLOBE. 



FARQUHARS DWARF HORTICULTURAL BEAN. 



This is undoubtedly the finest variety of shell bean ever offered. The plant is of dwarf, compact habit, 

 hardy and very early. The pods are of medium size, fine form and brightest red color. It is very prolific, and 

 for market purposes has no equal. We do not hesitate to say that this will be the popular shell bean of the 

 future. Pkt., .10 ; pt., .30 ; qt. .50; qt., by mail, .65. 



IHPROVED GODDARD DWARF BEAN. 



A great improvement over the old Goddard or Boston Favorite. Vines large, much branched, but very 

 erect, forming a large bush ; leaflets large, much crumped, bright green ; flowers light purplish pink. Pods large, 

 long flat, usually curved with long curved points ; green when young, but as the beans become fit for use are 

 beautifully splashed and striped with crimson. Green beans very large, splashed with red and of fine quality 

 Pkt., .10 ; pt., .30 ; qt., .50 ; qt., by mail, .65. 



JONES' STRINGLESS, WHITE SEED, ROUND POD WAX BEAN. 



This grand absolutely stringless bean, is the result of cross-breeding between Yosemite and a white seed 

 cross from Ivory Pod Wax. It will without doubt become one of the most popular of all our Wax varieties now 

 grown, combining points never before obtained in a true stringless wax pod. It is of true bush type fiee frona 

 any tendency to form runners, of strong growth, with medium tall stocky footstalk, and compact bushy tops v 

 which are a complete mat of white blossoms from the ground to tip, is absolutely rust proof on all soils and in 

 the most unfavorable season. It is nearly a week earlier than any strain of Black Wax, the pods forming very 

 quickly and are long, perfectly round and exceptionally solid, of a delicate light yellow color, perfectly stringless at al! 

 stages of growth, showing no coarseness even when past their prime; retains its brittleness and fine table quality 

 when nearly matured. When ripe the seeds are white, medium, round and plump. In summing up its good 

 qualities the originator claims that more bushels per acre of green pods can be picked from an acre than from 

 any other wax bean known and if left to ripen a larger yield of dry beans can be harvested than from the field 

 varieties; also can be planted later in the season with the certainty of a crop. For the home garden use two 

 seeds in a hill, 10 to 12 inches between the hills, rows 18 to 24 inches apart. Pkt., .155 pt., .30 ; qt., .50; 

 qt., by mail, .65. 



FARQUHARS WHITE HORTICULTURAL POLE BEAN. 



A variety in many respects similar to the well-known Horticultural Pole Bean, 

 and of very delicious flavor. Liberal Pkt., .15. 



Has very long green pod*
