/THE NEW HODSON BEANS 



WAX AND GREEN-POD The Hodson Wax Bean pods 



are long, handsome, brittle and 

 tender. If picked when they 

 should be, are entirely string- 

 ess. A boon to the market 

 gardener and trucker on account 

 of great vigor and productive- 

 ness, freedom from blight and 

 rust, and fine table qualities. 

 (See photograph showing hand- 

 some appearance and remark- 

 able productiveness. ) Price, 

 pkt, 10c. ; pint, 25c; quart, 40c; 

 postpaid; by express, qt., 25c; 

 peck, $1.50; bush., $5.50. 



The Hodson Green = Pod. 

 A strong, robust grower, un- 

 affected by rust or blight, an 

 enormous yielder, often pro- 

 ducing 50 to 60 pods to the 

 plant, and withstanding adverse 

 weather conditions to a remark- 

 able degree. It comes to ma- 

 turity a little later than 

 Refugee, hence does not compete 

 with the earlier green-podded 

 sorts. The table quality is first- 

 class, and if picked young the 

 pods are entirely stringless. An 

 excellent shipper ; it is fine for 

 market. Pkt., 10c; pint, 25c; 

 quart, 40c , postpaid ; by ex- 

 press, qt, 25c; peck, $1.35; 

 bush., $5.00. 



\jr m r, w Ruunu ruu KIDNEY WAX 



This valuable bean has rapidly grown in popularity with market gardeners. It is the first round- 

 podded Wax Bean we have ever found possessing the excellent market and shipping qualities of the 

 popular Wardwell's Kidney Wax. The plant grows tall, strong and sturdy, with long, round, handsome, 

 stringless pods of large size, solid and full of meat, crisp, brittle and free from rust; wonderfully early 

 and productive. PJft., 10c ; pint, 25c; qt., 45c, postpaid ; by express, qt., 30c; peck, $1.60; bush., $6.00.

One week earlier than any other Pole Lima. Of superior quality. Immense size. Wonderfully productive 



This new variety is at least one week earlier than any large Pole Lima yet offered and two weeks 

 earlier than most varieties. Earliness often means the sacrifice of other valuable features, but in this 

 variety the goo'd features of the later sorts are retained. It is wonderfully productive, the pods and 

 beans immense and the flavor delicious. Price, pkt., 10c; pint, 25c; qt., 45c, postpaid; by express, 

 qt, 30c; 4 qt/, $1.00; peck, $1.85; bush., $6.50. 



PEDRICK'S LARGE CLUSTER POLE LIMA 



Agrafid new Pole Lima originating in New Jersey. The large, well-filled pods hang in handsome 

 clusters-of twelve or thirteen pods. The beans are large, meaty, deep green in color, and will average 

 five or six to a pod. The vine is remarkably productive, a basket having been picked from only four 

 poles. Should find a place in every, garden. Price, pkt. , 10c; pint, 35c; qt, 60c, postpaid ; by freight 

 or express, qt., 45c ; 4 qts., $1.60; peck, $2.50. 



ROUND POD 



GRAND NEW ENGLISH BEET 



"WITHAM FIREBALL" 



Introduced by expert English growers, this is a 

 new and quite distinct extra early turnip-rooted 

 beet of the finest table qualities. The flesh is 

 solid, crisp and sweet, brilliant fiery red, much 

 more intense than Eclipse. In form it is a perfect 

 globe with smooth skin, a tiny tap root and very 

 slender leaf stalks. It is specially adapted for early 

 frame work, but can be sown with equal success 

 in the open ground. As early as the earliest strains 

 of the old Egyptian, and conserves its good quali- 

 ties for a much longer time. Seed very scarce. 

 Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; i lb., 60c; lb., $2.00.

SURPASSED HIS EXPECTATIONS 



Benjamin T. Preston, Cortland, N. Y., August 23, 

 1907, writes: "Your garden seed surpassed all our expecta- 

 tions, and we realize that our profits this season were due 

 to the superior seeds obtained from your house."
