CKOSB'V'S IMPROVED EGYPTIAN, THE EARLIEST BEET. 



Crosby's Smproved 8gyptian 52eet 



Crosby's Egyptian has grown in favor so 

 rapidly that for the past two seasons we were sold 

 out of the seed before the season was half over. It is 

 a verj' superior strain of the well-known Egyptian, 

 carefully selected for years by Mr. Josiah Crosby, 

 a noted Eastern market gardener. The results 

 obtained were handsome foi'm, good size, few small 

 tops, fine quality, deep blood color, and above all, 

 quick, rapid growth. Takes on its turnip shape 

 and looks well even in the early stages of growth. 

 It does not become woody and tasteless, like the 

 old Egyptian, when allowed to stand a little too long, 

 and may be sown outside as late as July. Pkt., 5c.; 

 oz., 10c. ; \ lb., 25c.; lb., 75c., postpaid ; 5 lbs. and 

 over, 60c. per lb., by express.

This new Pole Lima Bean, now offered for sale 

 for the first time, was developed after many years' 

 careful selection by Mr. Frank Shallcross, a noted 

 Philadelphia market gardener and Lima Bean 

 grower. While not the earliest, it is, without ques- 

 tion, the most prolific of all, bearing its handsome 

 pods in immense clusters as shown in photograph 

 below. The green beans, in size, beauty and qual- 

 ity, are unequalled. Pkt., 15c.; pint, 35c.; qt., 65c., 

 postpaid ; qt., 50c.; 4qts., $1.75 ; peck, $3.00, by 

 ex])ress or freight.

SHALLCROSS MARKET QUEEN LIMA BEAN. 



Slew French SEarket Carrot 



After two seasons' test at Floracroft Trial 

 Grounds, we were so thoroughly convinced of 

 the superior qualities of this new French car- 

 rot that we last season imported from Paris 

 \ some of the seed, and offered it for sale for 

 i the first time in America. It has given pro- 

 *, nounced satisfaction in all sections of the 

 country, and we have received hundreds 

 of unsolicited testimonials from gardeners, 

 many of whom say they will hereafter 

 lilant the French Market and Rubi- 

 (•i)n to the exclusion of all others. The 

 form, as shown in jjhotograph, is hand- 

 somer tlian the Danvers, and its better 

 color makes it much more attractive. 

 It is also entirely free from core, 

 the flesh being tender and sweet 

 throughout, and a wonderful heavy 

 cropper. Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 20c.; Jib., 

 50c.; lb., $1.75.
