w^'- i;'*Mla\ of good quality, and are

Extra Early 

 Jersey. 



A very early variety, 

 bearing beans similar 

 in size and shape to 

 Large Lima. The pods 

 are short, plump, and 

 are borne in clusters in 

 profusion ; the yield 

 will be found nearly 

 equal to Large Lima, 

 with advantage of be- 

 ing quite ten days ear- 

 lier.

 peck $2.50, bu. $12.00. 



Large White. 



One of the best va- 

 rieties either green or 

 drv. This sort is grown 

 in large quantities for 

 market, and is too well 

 known to need descrip- 

 tion.

King of the 

 Garden. 



A vigorous grower, 

 bearing profusely, large 

 pods, varying in length 

 from 5 to 8 inches. The 

 beans are large and of 

 rich flavor. As the 

 vines grow luxuriantly, 

 two are sttfficient to 

 each pole. When not 

 too closely planted they 

 set beans early, and 

 continue bearing until 

 killed by frost.

DREER'S IMPROVED LIMA BEAN. 



A very productive variety, bearing beans of superior 

 quality ; when green they are nearly as large as the Large 

 Lima, thicker, sweeter, more tender and nutritious, re- 

 maining green in the pod a long time after maturing, and 

 are in all respects the best bean for family use.

Bothe Oder Eunkelriibe, Ger. Belterave, Fr. 

 Acelga o Remolache, Sp. 

 The soil best suited for Beet culture is that which is 

 rather light and well enriched. Sow in drills 1 foot apart 

 and 1 inch deep, as early as the ground can be worked; 

 when the plants are large' enoug4i tliin out to stand 6 inches 

 apart in rows ; continue for a succession as late as the mid- 

 dle of Julv. Keep well cultivated. To preserve Beets 

 during the winter select a dry piece of ground and put 

 about 20 bushels in a pile, covering with sufficient earth 

 to keep out tlie frost.

 small ness of top, and extra fine quality. Perfectly
