NEW EARLY CHAMPION SWEET CORN. 



In recent 3'ears we have introduced several new varietiesof sweet corn, all of which have now become 

 leading standard sorts. From our own trials and experience of a number of our customers who grew 

 the New Champion last season, we predict that when fully introduced it will become the leader of them 

 all. Mr. E. B. Clark, of Connecticut, is one of the largest growers of Seed Sweet Corn in this country, 

 and we know of no one who is a better authorit}- on the subject ; he writes as follows : " New Champion 

 is the largest and best earl}' corn we know of. It ripens a little earlier than Crosby's Extra Early, with 

 an ear larger than Concord ; in fact, manj- of the ears grow fully as large as Evergreen. It is 10 and 12 

 rowed and pure white in color. Its earliness and large size will certainly make it one of the most desir- 

 able for market or home use." Per pkt., loc; pint, 20c.; qt., 40c., post-paid ; qt., 25c.; peck, $1.00; 

 bush., JS3.50, by freight or express.

Two Grand New Pole Lima Beans ^f ''''nniS^^--i , ...3ean. 



Seibert's Early Lima 



. . The Earliest True Lima . . 



This new variet}* was developed by a market 

 gardener, who selected the largest green beans 

 from the thinnest and most easily opened pods. 



The vine is very vigorous and productive. 

 The pods are large, but thin, and can be more 

 easily opened than those of other varieties. The 

 green beans are the largest of any of the Limas, 

 very handsome and of the best quality. In earli- 

 ness, ease of shelling, size, beauty and quality of 

 the g^een beans, this variet}- is far in advance of 

 all other sorts, and must come to be recognized 

 as the best of all for either the garden or market. 



No progressive gardener should fail to try it. 



Price, per pkt., loc; pint, 30c.; qt., 50c 

 post-paid ; qt., 35c.; 4 qts., $1.25 ; peck, |;2.oo ; 

 bush., $7.00, by freight or express. 



Shotwell^s Improved 

 Thick Lima* 



We offered this splendid 

 Pole Lima Bean last season 

 for the first time, making it 

 one of the subjects of a 

 colored plate on the 

 back of our Manual. It 



was originated by one of the best and most experienced 

 growers of Northern New Jersey. It is of the thick 

 or Potato Lima class, but will be found a decided 

 improvement on the Dreer's Improved, or any other 

 Bean of its class, in earliness, productiveness and fine 

 quality. All claims made for it have been fully sub- 

 stantiated by hundreds of our customers who tried 

 it last season, and we regret we have not room here to 

 publish the many strong recommendations received 

 from them. Pkt., loc; pint, 35c.; qt., 65c., post-paid ; 

 qt., 50c.; 4 qts., $1.50 ; peck, I2.50 ; bush., I9.50, by 

 express or freight.
