CARPINTERIA 



POI<£ I^IMA BBAN. 



(See illustration on opposite page. ) 

 The Beans of this new pole lima have a greenish tint, an 

 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 

 'arge 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 

 *re exceedingly tender and of fine flavor. The originator, who 

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

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

 ;postpaid, 33 cts.); qt., 4-5 cts. (postpaid, 60 cts.); 4 qts.,

SUGAR CORN. 



(See illustration on opposite page. ) 

 There is no second-early variety of Sugar Com that has given 

 jnch perfect satisfaction to our customers as "Stabler's Early," and 

 *e are strong in our recommendation of it as the best variety to 

 .oUow the small-eared extra early sorts. It is very productive, 

 «nd the ears are unusually large for an early variety. The grains 

 ue large and broad, very tender, and of remarkably sweet, juicy 

 ■!avor. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt, 15 cts. (postpaid, 20 cts.); qt., 25 

 ts. (postpaid, 35 cts.); 4 qts., 80 cts.; peck, $1.25. 



NEIJV PERFECTION RADISH. 



(See illustration on opposite page. ) 

 This new early variety of Radish, introduced by us last year, 

 !s exceedingly attractive on account of its rich markings. The 

 ■apper portion of skin is brilliant red, while the lower portion is 

 ^hite, extending higher up than is usual with this class of Radish, 

 »nd forming a striking combination of colors. It is a rapid 

 ijrower, and may be used in greenhouse or in the garden, for 

 which purpose it is equally well adapted. It grows very uniform 

 in both size and shape, is extremely solid and decidedly crisp 

 »nd tender. This beautiful Radish will make a striking contrast 

 jvhen served with solid red and white varieties. Pkt, 10 cts. ; 

 ■M., 20 cts.; J lb., 50 cts.; lb., $1.50. 



EARL,Y DETROIT TOMATO. 



(See illustration on opposite page.) 

 For the home garden as well as for market this variety will 

 ^ve entire satisfaction. The fruits are of a purplish-pink color 

 md very attractive to the eye; this, together with its uniform 

 size and shape, make it one of the best varieties of Tomato re- 

 cently introduced. The vine makes a strong, vigorous growth, 

 «nd fruits set and ripen early, continuing throughout the entire 

 leason. The Tomatoes are medium to large in size, nearly 

 round, perfectly smooth, solid and of excellent flavor. For two 

 fears past this variety has attracted special attention at our 

 trial grounds, and we are confident that it will not disappoint 

 those who plant it Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; } lb., $1.25. 



DREER'S DWARF PERFECTION 

 PARSI.EY. 



This is a fine and most valuable Parsley. The habit is regu- 

 lar and compact, and the exquisitely fine and prettily curled 

 leaves are set so closely that the form of the plant is almost 

 semi-globular. The color is a wonderful bright pea-green, and 

 tUvor surpasses all other Parsley. This variety combines the 

 quality of a fine culinary herb with that of a beautiful decorative 

 plant, and is equally valuable for garnishing purposes and bor- 

 ders. Pkt., 1« cts.; oz., 35 cts.; J lb., $1.00; lb., $3.50. 



I^ITTI^E MARVEL, PEA.

 Wonder or Nott's Excelsior, as it matures earlier and the pod; 

 contain more peas. It is dwarf, growing about 15 inches high, 

 and the plants are very , reductive, bearing many twin poda, 

 which are dark green in color, and keep fresh for quite a while 

 after being picked from the vine. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 35 ctg

 planted as early as the hard-seeded "Extra Earlies." Th« 

 plants are dwarf, growing about 14 inches high, very stout and 

 exceedingly productive, and the quality is all that could be de- 

 sired. It makes the largest pods of any of the low-growing 

 wrinkled Peas, and matures nearly as early as Nott's Excelsior,

 England. It is dwarf, growing about Ih feet in height and 

 producing long, curved, deep green pods in pairs, literally €»«er- 

 ing the plant. This variety is quite distinct from the Stratagem 

 type of Peas, and much more desirable than varieties «f that 

 class. Pkt, 10 cts.; pt., 35 cts. (postpaid, 43 cts. ); qt, M
