KEENEY’S RUSTLESS 
GOLDEN WAX. 
This is the long-looked-for bean, combining hardiness and pro- 
ductiveness with fine quality 
A strong-growing bush variety of remarkable vigor and free- 
dom from rust. It sends out short tendrils on which pods are 
formed in addition to those near the central stock of the plant, 
which accounts for its wonderful productiveness, amounting 
under favorable conditions, to 1: 0 to 150 fold. 
These packets contain an ounce of beans, being 60 to 75 in 
number and if planted one bean in a place, ten inches apart in the 
row and the rows 24 to 28 inches apart, they will produce, under 
favorable conditions, a bountiful supply for a family of six or 
eight persons. 
The pods are meaty and well filled, thick-flat when young, 
and semi-round later; of rich yellow color and fine quality, and 
entirely stringless even when large enough to shell. If the pods 
are picked as fast as formed, the plant continues to furnish a 
bountiful supply for an unusually long season. Per packet, 15 cts. 
SWEET CORN. EXTRA 
EARLY FORDHOOK. 
This is undoubtedly the largest eared early corn, averaging in 
length fully seven inches. The cob and kernel are pure white. 
The ears are eight rowed with unusually deep kernel and small 
cob. In quality this variety excels all others and is decidedly the 
sweetest first early corn grown. This variety ripens with the Cory 
but its large size ear, excellent quality, productiveness, and 
length of time it remains fit for the table pronounce this a supe- 
rior variety for market and private garden. ; 
Price per packet, 10c.; pt., 25c.; qt., 40c. 
HILL’S FORCING WHITE 
SPINE CUCUMBER. 
This exccllent variety originated near Boston, and is in great 
repute on the markets of that city. For some time Mr. Hill, the 
originator, had the trade all his own way, as his Cucumbers were 
ready for market before others, and were of such perfect form, so 
remarkably even, and of that desirable dark green color. It is a 
selection from the best Arlington White Spine, and is adapted to 
open ground culture as well as for forcing. It grows much more 
compact about the hill than most other kinds, and will be highly 
appreciated by Southern truckers for shipping. 
Packet, 5 cts.; 0z., 10 cts.; 14 1b., 30 cts.; Ib., $1.00. 
BURPEE’S BUSH LIMA. 
The Only Bush Form of 3 
the True Large 
Lima Bean. 
This Bush Lima is what has long been 
desired but which growers hardly ex- 
pected to obtain—a ferfect bush form 
of the true luscious Large Lima Bean. 
The bushes grow from 18 to 20 inches 
high, of stout growth and always erect, 
yet branching so vigorously that each 
plant develops into a circular bush from 
2to 3 feet in diameter. The leaves are 
of very large size and great substance. 
It is an immense yielder, each bush 
bearing from 50 to 200 of the handsome 
large pods filled with very large beans 
jdentical in size and flavor to the well 
known Large Pole Limas. Of incalcul- 
able value for the reason that now the 
largest and best Lima Beans can be 
cheaply raised in quantity without the 
expense and labor attached to the use 
of poles.
