 DARK-LEA YED GLOBE BEET. 



This excellent new variety of Beet was offered by us for the 

 first time last year, and has given satisfaction wherever planted. 

 It is a splendid type of the blood- turnip variety, the originator, in 

 making his selections, having in mind an ideal Beet combining 

 good quality with the beautiful globe shape. The extremely 

 dark foliage of this new variety is a striking feature, while the 

 corresponding rich, dark color of flesh and beautiful globe shape 

 combine to make it one of the most attractive varieties recently 

 introduced. The quality is excellent, being sweet and tender.

CARPINTERIA 

 POLE LIMA BEAN.

 indication of good quality and an advantage in appearance over 

 the white-skinned varieties. It originated in California as a sport, 

 but the type has been thoroughly fixed, retaining the greenish 

 tint. Vines are vigorous and make strong growth, producing 

 large quantities of pods, containing four large Beans, which are 

 thicker than the ordinary lima, and retain their color even when 

 in the dry state. The Beans cook nicely, and being thin-skinned 

 are exceedingly tender and of fine flavor. The originator, who 

 is a skilful grower, claims that the "Carpinteria" is the most 

 perfect lima Bean ever introduced. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt,, 25 cts.

 example of what a first-class Watermelon should be. The rind 

 is thin, but tough, and the flesh a bright, attractive red color, 

 very solid and of a delicious, sweet and satisfying flavor. Its

 nator desiring to secure a more hardy variety. It is an English 

 Pea, and the seed we supply was grown for us in England The 

 vines grow three feet high, make a vigorous growth and produce 

 the large pods in great abundance fully as early as "Gradus," but 

 usually larger and more pods to each plant. It is hardy and 

 may be planted very early, thus providing a supply of luscious 

 Peas at a very early season. Pkt., 10 cts. ; pt., 30 cts. (post-
