There are two distiuct types of artichokes, kuown 
ARTI respectively as Jerusalem and Globe. ‘Vhe jJormer 
@ is a tuberous rvoted sunflower; the latter a member 
of the same botanic family, but grown exclusively tor its Lower buas. 
JERUSALEM.—Hardy perennial. Culture same as potatoes. Fit for pick- 
ling, etc., but grown largely for swine. Hogs root the tubers out of the soil. Crop 
large even on poor soil. Seed tubers per pound, 40 cents; 3 pounds, $1.00, post- 
paid. By express or freight, peck, $1.00; bushel, $3.00.

A A CULTURE.—1 ounce of seed sown in drills will pro- 
8 duce 400 plants. Soak the seed. Select strong one 
year plants for making a plantation. Set deeply in rows 5 fect apart, 1% feet or 
more apart in row. This will require 6,000 plants peracre. Rich soil with good 
under-drainage is best. Set roots in Spring. Top-dress annually with manure, 
fertilizer, salt, etc. Gather the shoots in Spring (up to July) only when the 
plants have come to full development. 
MAULE’S MAMMOTH.—This giant type excels all others within my know- 
ledge in tenderness, flavor, productiveness and good appearance. It throws 
strong, well-developed shoots the entire season, and always commands top 
notch prices in the discriminating Philadelphia market. At three years old 
Maule’s Mammoth has yielded at rate of yo0U per acre. Packet, 5 cents; 

COLUMBIAN MAMMOTH WHITE.—A comparatively new variety, 
with white shoots which stay white. Packet, 5 cts.; ounce, 10 cts.; 44 pound,

is over. Of bush beans use 1 quart to 275 feet of 
EARLIEST IMPROVED ROUND POD VAL- 
ENTINE.—Although I can honestly endorse sey- 
eral green pod bush beans, and am familiar with 
all the new introductions, there is nothing on the 
market superior to the improved strain of Valep- 
tine, which I offer the public. I have been breeding 
up this old favorite for a half-score of years. It was 
a grand thing when I began; but it is now ten days 
earlier, and under good conditions is ready for the 
basket in 32 to 85 days from the seed. My Earliest 
Improved Round Pod Valentine, as now perfected, 
has full, mezty pods, which possess beauty, tender- 
ness and superior flavor, and are in all respects ideal 
snap Shorts. The Valentine bean is old, but my im- 
proved stock is new. It is a good thing made better 
by continued careful selection and high culture, and 
is now the most prolific and profitable bean of its 
kind on the American market. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 
cts.; qt., 45 cts., postpaid. Pk., $2.00; bu., $7.00. 
IMPROVED EHARLY YELLOW SIX 
WEEKS.—This is an old variety. The name is 
somewhat misleading, as it is a green podded sort. The seed 
when fully ripe is yellow, and hunce the name. It is string- 
less until it attains fullsize. It makes a good, thick, meaty 
pod. Very productive. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; 
quart 45 cents, postpaid. Peck, $1.76. 
DWARE HORTICULTURAL.— 
A bush form of the old Horticultural 
or Speckled Cranberry bean. An ex- 
cellent green podded sort, good as a 
g% snap short in the green state, or for 
! use shelled. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 25¢.; qt., 
40 cts., postpaid. Pk., $1.75; bu., $6.00. 
NEW STRINGLESS GREEN 
POD.—Absolutely stringless and ex- 
tremely early. (See specialties.) 
WHITE KIDNEY. — A popular 
sort of well established merit. May 
be used as a green pod snap bean or 
allowed to ripen. One of the very 
best for winter use. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 20c.; 
qt., 35c., postpaid. Pk., $1.25; bu., $4.50. 
LARGE WHITE MARROW- 
FAT.—This has always been a pop- 
ular variety in field culture, and a 
most profitable market sort. Green 
Zs postpaid. Pk., $1.25; bu., $4.25. 
: EARLY MOHAWK. — Hardiest ¥ 
of the early varieties of green pod 
bush beans. An old and well known 
sort of established merit. May be 
planted rather early, as it will with- 
stand a slight frost. Packet, 10 cts.;

BEST OF ALL.—This deservedly popular green pod bean is of foreign origin. Sek 
is also 
grown in the South in the vicinity of New Orleans and elsewhere, and is in high favor there. 
grown with success and profit in more northern latitudes, and is worthy of trialeverywhere. It has 
very long, glossy pods, almost twice the length of the old Valentine. The pods are fleshy, succulent, 
stringless and of good flavor. It is medium early and very prolific. A good bean for either market or 
familv use. Many of my customers testify that the name of the bean is well chosen. Packet, 10 cents;
