BE/IN. 



This splendid new bean has been so named on ac- 

 count of its enormous size. The pods, as shown in our 

 illustration, frequently attain a length of eight to ten 

 inches, with the thickness of a man's finger. The pods 

 are nearly all solid pulp, the seeds being very small when 

 the pods are fit for use. Pods are a rich golden color, and 

 absolutely stringless, cooking tender and delicious. It is 

 enormously productive, as many as fifty of its monster pods 

 having been counted on one bush. Pkt. , 15c. ; ^ pint,

5I10E PEQ JWEET CORN. 



This very excellent new and distinct variety, now 

 offered for the first time, originated at Bordentown, N. J., 

 "Uiiiiiiiii ^^ which market it is considered the sweetest and choic- 



I^i I est sort grown, selling at double the prices of all other 



**^lliiil varieties. It has the deepest grain and smallest cob of 



any known variety. The accompanying cut is an exact 

 representation of an ear from nature. The stalks are of 

 medium height, without suckers, joints short, and some- 

 times yield as many as five ears, well filled out. The 

 kernel is small, very long, white and exceedingly tender, 

 sweet and of a rich, juicy flavor that is not equalled by 

 any other sort. In maturing it is medium late. In our 

 extended experience we have grown every known vari- 

 ety of sugar corn, but have never found a variety possess- 

 ing so many desir- 

 able qualities as 

 Shoe Peg Sugar 

 Corn. No market 

 or private garden 

 is complete with- 

 out it. Pkt., 15c.;

Radish. 



The shape of this exceedingly valuable new 

 variety is well shown in the accompanying illus- 

 tration, although it grows nearly twice the size. 

 It is the finest red forcing turnip variety ever intro- 

 duced ; has a very small short top, color brilliant 

 scarlet, crisp, solid, tender, and of fine flavor. It 

 is alike valuable for out-door planting early in the 

 spring or in the autumn, and will always command 

 ready sale at good prices throughout the year. It 

 will not disappoint a single customer who sows it, 

 whether he be a market or family gardener. Pkt.,
