CARPINTERIA 

 POLE LIMA BEAN 



This splendid pole lima 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 origi- 

 nator, who is a skilful grower, claims that the ''Carpinteria'' 

 is the most perfect Lima Bean ever introduced. Pkt., 10 cts., 

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

 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 70 els. (If wanted by Parcel Post, add as stated 

 on page 14.) 10 lbs., $3.00. 



COPENHAGEN MARKET 

 CABBAGE. 



This excellent variety from Denmark will command the atten- 

 tion of those who grow for early market, as well as the private 

 growers who desire an extra early, round-headed Cabbage which 

 can be depended upon for making large solid heads at an early 

 season. The heads are grown upon a remarkably short stem, are 

 solid and large in size, weighing 10 to 12 pounds, light green 

 leaves and of good quality. It is the largest of the early round- 

 headed varieties, and its habit of growth allows of its being 

 planted close together in the field or garden. Pkt., 10 cts. ; oz., 

 50 cts.; i lb., $1.50. 



CHINESE, or CELERY CABBAGE 



Also called Pe-Tsai, or Cut Cabbage, by Chinese gardeners, 

 and beginning to attract attention in America. It does not form 

 a cabbage-head, but when grown to its full size resembles the 

 Cos Lettuce, and the outer leaves may be used during its growth. 

 It is odorless while being cooked and the flavor is delicious, 

 being very mild, and it is excellent for use as a salad, or cooked 

 like asparagus. We are quite sure that it will please all who 

 partake of it. Sow seed after July 1st, and give plenty of room 

 to the plants, setting in rows 3 feet apart and 2 feet apart in the 

 row. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz , 45 cts.; \ lb., $1.25. 



DRY-WEATHER CAULIFLOWER 



A fine variety of Cauliflower, especially adapted for growing in 

 the open ground in sections subjected to long, dry seasons, as it will 

 grow well andproducethefinest heads inspiteof the lack of moist- 

 ure, which is required by other sorts. The heads grow to a large 

 size, are very solid, pure white and of delicious flavor. It is 

 not suited for forcing or growing under glass, but it will prove 

 valuable in the Southern States, where the climate is hot and 

 where long seasons of dry weather are experienced. Pkt., 20 

 cts.; I oz., $1.00. 



COLUMBIA CELERY 



An exceptionally fine early variety, which for size and shape 

 is unsurpassed. The plant is of medium height, but very stocky, 

 foliage is a light shade of green with yellow tinge, and the 

 stalks are thick, almost round, and resemble Giant Pascal in 

 shape, but are of a rich, yellow color, similar to the well known 

 Golden Self-blanching, which it resembles very much when 

 trimmed and bunched. It matures early, and its exceedingly 

 fine flavor and crispness will please even the most critical. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 45 cts.; \ lb., $1.25. 



WINTER KING CELERY 



An attractive feature of this variety is that while the outer 

 stalks are green, it naturally produces many golden hearts, which 

 are decidedly crisp, very tender and of excellent flavor. In 

 addition to these desirable qualities, it is one of the best of the 

 winter-keeping Celeries, and may be allowed to remain in the 

 trench for a long time, and will come out in first-class condi- 

 tion, solid and free from rot. The plants make a strong growth 

 and are very easy to blanch, which is a decided advantage to the 

 amateur gardener, and also a valuable feature for market grower. 

 It would be difficult to find a better keeping variety of Celery. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 50 cts.; ± lb., $1.50.
