POLE LIMA BEANS. 



Extra Early Jersey Lima — rn appearance and size similar to the Large 

 White Lima, and of equally good quality. It is especially valuable on 

 account of being two weeks earlier than the ordinary Lima. Pkt. 10c; 



pint 20c; quart 30c; % peck 90c; peck $1.65; bushel $6.00

 mous pods, measuring from 5 to 8 inches in length, well filled with 

 beans of excellent quality. Pkt. 10c; pint 20c; quart 30c; y 2 peck 90c;

BUSH LIMA BEANS. 

 Lima Beans do not receive the attention in our State that 

 they deserve. Sown at the same time as Wax Beans, they ma- 

 ture a crop of shell beans by August. These shelled Lima Beans 

 are admitted to be the most delicately flavored of all the bean 

 family. Lima Beans and shelled green corn constitute the fa- 

 mous dish called "Succotash," so much used in the Eastern 

 States. 



Burpee's Bush Lima — Grows about 20 inches high. Beans about 

 the size of large Pole Limas. Pkt. 10c; pint 20c; quart 30c; 



y 2 peck 90c; peck $1.65; bushel $6.25 



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 30c; % 

 peck 90c; peck $1.65; bushel $6-25

 quart 20c; y 2 peck 65c; peck $1.10; bushel $4.00

 very prolific. The vine is a rank grower, with a profuse foli- 

 age, and the pods grow mainly in clusters of four. Ope plant 

 of this variety (not especially selected) produced 123 pods, 

 the pods averaging 6 Beans each. Pint 12c; quart 20c; y> peck 



65c; peck $1.10; bushel $4.00 



Field Beans Subject to Marlset Fluctuations. 



CAULIFLOWER 



German, Blumenkohl. 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 watering, destroying 

 insects and thorough cultivation will be repaid. 



1 oz. for about 1,000 plants, set 2*4 feet apart each way. 



EARLY SNOWBALL — Extra Selected. 



The Earliest 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; % oz. $1.00; oz.
