MASTERPIECE BEAN 

 FOR FORCING 



This bean originated in England, where special attention is 

 given to growing in the greenhouse, and it is a splendid variety 

 for that purpose. The plant makes a healthy growth and pro- 

 duces an abundant crop of large green pods, which are remar- 

 kably straight, broad, thick and of excellent quality. We con- 

 sider this the best variety for growing in the greenhouse, as it 

 is a fast grower and matures the crop at an early season. Pkt., 

 10 cts. , by mail. By express or freight, at purchaser's expense, 

 lb., $1.00; 2 lbs., $1.75. (If wanted by Parcel Post, add as 

 stated on page 12); 10 los., $8.00. 



UNRIVALED ^WAX BEAN 



A splendid variety of dwarf was bean which we highly recom- 

 mend to our customers. The plants make very rapid growth, 

 and are of a branching habit, producing a large crop of pods at 

 an early season, and being a robust grower; it withstands con- 

 siderable rainy weather without showing any signs of rust, a 

 valuable feature for a dwarf wax bean. The pods are light 

 yellow in color, long, fiat, slightly curved at the end, very 

 fleshy, tender and of excellent quality. This variety combines 

 all (he desired qualities for a good wax bean, and bids fair to be- 

 come very popular, both for the home garden and for market. 

 Pkt., 10 cts., by mail. By express or freight, at purchaser's 

 expense, lb., 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 70 cts. (If wanted by Parcel 

 Post add as staled on page 12); 10 lbs., $3.00. 



DREER'S "IVONOER" 



BUSH EIlTiA BEAN 



This variety of Bush Lima Bean was originally introduced by 

 us, and is very desirable on account of earliness, productiveness 

 and its fixed habit of growing in the dwarf or bush form. It 

 is the best variety for sections where the growing season is short 

 and can be depended upon for producing a good crop. The 

 plants are of strong, upright growth, and are completely covered 

 with large pods, many of which contain four beans, which are 

 fully as large as the pole limas. The beans are flat in shape 

 and of excellent quality. A customer writes that we can well 

 call it "Wonder," as he planted as late as May 30, and not 

 only had all the Lima Beans he wanted, but also supplied his 

 neighbors with what they required. Pkt., 10 cts., by mail. 

 By express or freight, at purchaser's expense, lb., 45 cts.; 2 

 lbs., 80 cts. (If wanted by Parcel Post add as stated on page 

 12); 10 lbs., $3.50.

 tremely smooth, fine rich color and desirable

 blood-red and of excellent quality, being sweet

GIANT EUCUELUS, 

 SIVISS CHARD, or 



SPINACH BEET 



This vegetable is prepared for the table in the 

 same manner as Spinach; sometimes, however, 

 the mid-rib is prepared like Asparagus. Seed 

 planted early in the spring will quickly produce 

 plants from which leaves may be cut all summer, 

 as you can cut right down to the ground, and new 

 shoots will soon spring up and make a fast growth, 

 while those plants which are allowed to grow on 

 without any cutting will make large curly leaves, with thick 

 light-colored mid-ribs, which are delicious when cooked and 

 served like asparagus. You should not fail to plant at least 

 one long row in your garden. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; ^ 

 lb., 45 cts.; lb., $1.50.
