SaOTWELL S IMPROVED NEW THICK LIMA. 



Shottuell's Improved Thick 

 Ltima Bean 



Originated by one of the best and most experienced 

 growers of Nortliern Xew Jersey. It is of tlie thick or Po- 

 tato Lima class, but will be found a decided improvement o i 

 the Dreer's Improved, or any other bean of its class, in 

 earliness, productiveness and tine quality. All claims made 

 for it tave been fully substantiated by hundreds of our cus- 

 tomers who tried it la.st season, and we regret we have not 

 room here to publish the many strong recommendations re- 

 ceived from them. Pkt., lOc; pint, 35c.; qt.. 60c., pnst-paid ; 

 qt., 45c.; 4 qts., fl.'2.5 ; peck, S2.50, by express or freight. 



Necn Golden Pod Andalusia 

 Pole Bean 



This new bean, introduced by us eight years since, has 

 created a decided sensation wherever grown. The pods arj 

 five to six inches long, broad, thick, very fleshy, and cnlirclii 

 striyxgless, far surpassing all other varieties in this respect, and 

 retaining these important qualities until almost ripe. The 

 pods when fully grown are from five to six inches long, ex- 

 ceedingly rich, buttery and tine flavored. The vines cling 

 well to the poles, a ver.v important feature, as owing to its 

 wonderful productiveness, the weight of a vine filled with 

 such a mass of large pods is very great. They coiumence 

 bearing in great aliundance when the vines are quite young, 

 and continue to bear profusely the entire season. The beans 

 when dry are round as a bullet, pure white in color, and also 

 make a fine shell or winter bean, Pkt., lOe.; pint, 30c.; qt., 

 55c., post-paid.; qt., 40e.; peek, $2.25; bush,, S8.00, by freight 

 or express. 



liazy Wife's Pole Bean 



The best and largest Green Podded Pole Bean, first intro- 

 duced by us some years since. The pods grow from four to 

 six inches long, entirely stringless, and of a rich, buttery 

 flavor when cooked. The pods remain green, and retain 

 their tender, rich, stringless flavor until nearly ripe. The 

 beans are white, and unsurpassed as shell beans for winter 

 use. They are pronounced by all who have grown them the 

 best green podded snap-short Pole Bean in cultivation. Pkt.,

CEOSEY S I3IPKOVED EGYPTIAN, THE EARLIEST BEET. 



Crosby's Improved Egyptian 



A very superior strain of the well-known Egyptian, 

 carefully selected for years by Mr. Josiah Crosby, a noted 

 Eastern market gardener. The results obtained were hand- 

 some form, good size, few small tops, fine quality, deep 

 blood color and, above all, quick, rapid growth. Takes on 

 its turnip shape, as shown in photograph, and looks well 

 even in the early stages of growth. Once used, it is pre- 

 ferred to Egyptian or Eclipse for forcing in frames or for 

 first sowing outside. It does notbecome woody and tasteless 

 like the old Egyptian, when allowed to stand a little too 

 long, and may he sown outside as late as July. No grower 

 who values earliness should fail to grow the Crosbv's Egvp- 

 tian. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; % lb., 25c.; lb., 75c. 



EXTRA EARLY EGYPTIAN TBLOOD TURNIP. 



A standard sort, ten days or two weeks earlier than the old 

 Blood Turnip. Owing to smallness of the top it can be 

 planted very close. It is of fair quality, medium size and 

 dark crimson color. Pkt., 5e.; oz., 10c. ; H lb., loc; lb., 40o. 



NEW COLtUIBIA (CARTER'S EXCELSIOR). This 

 variety was introduced in 1892, and is pronounced by those 

 who have grown it a valuable acquisition, both as an early 

 and main crop variety. The color of the skin, flesh and top 

 is like the well-known Egyptian. It also grows nearly as 

 quickly, but is larger and longer in shape and of much bet- 

 ter quality. Market gardeners will find it a splendid variet.v, 

 while its fine flavor as a table beet will delight all private 

 planters. Pkt., 5c.; oz., lOc; >4lb., 25c.; lb., 75c.
