Fordhook Bush Lima Bean 



The only stiffly erect bush form of the Potato Lima. Both pods and beans are twice the 

 size of the Kumerle or Dreer's Bush Lima 



Fordhook Bush Lima is altogether unique, and has a stifflj' erect habit, branching freely, 

 but with all the branches held upright. It has an ideal bush growth, which is strikingly 

 different from the low spreading growth of the Dreer's Bush Lima. It has foliage like 

 that of the Large Pole Lima. 



Fordhook Bush Lima bears tremendous crops ; the beans are ready for use fully three 

 weeks earlier than any other of the pole lima varieties. The plump, well-filled pods are 

 twice as large as those of the Dreer's Bush, while the beans are also twice the size ; the pods 

 measuring 4 to 5 inches in length, containing four to five large beans. The green Beans, 

 even of full size, are tender, juicy and sweet when cooked, resembling the flavor of the finer 

 varieties of the large Flat Lima. Fkt. 15 cts., pt. 45 cts., by mail postpaid ; by express, pt. 

 35 cts., qt. 60 cts., j4pk. $2, pk. I3.50, bus. ^512.50. 



Whitloof Chicory 



This makes one of the most delicious of all salads. The seed is planted in May or June 

 in the open ground, and in the fall the roots are dug. The roots are then planted in earth in 

 a dark, cool place in the cellar or under a greenhouse bench. Finely blanched crisp leaves 

 are thrown out, and when cut new leaves form. Fkt. loc, oz. 20 cts., }^\h. 40 cts., lb. ^1.50. 



Silver Self-blcinching Celery 



The most popular Celeries are Golden 

 Self-blanching and White Plume, and 

 this grand new Silver Self-blanching Cel- 

 ery combines in one variety the essential 

 qualities of these two varietie= ; in short, 

 it has the robust, sturdy, compact habit, 

 with the immense solid heart, crisp, brit- 

 tle and tender qualities of the Golden 

 Self-blanching, together with the beauti- 

 ful Silver Self-blanching foliage of the 

 White Plume. This makes a great com- 

 bination and I predict for the Silver Self- 

 blanching Celery a great future, and I 

 believe that, when it becomes known to 

 the grower for market, it will make one 

 of the most popular varieties of Celery 

 ever introduced. Fkt. 10 cts., oz. 40 cts., 

 ■4 lb. $1.25, lb. $4. 



Fordhook Bush Lima Bean 



New "Nokor" Cabbagre 



Silver Self -blanching Celery 



A Splendid New Cabbage, **Nokor" 



The heads are e.xtremely uniform in size and shape, 

 weighing from 12 to 15 pounds each, and frequently 

 measuring 12 inches in diameter, roundish in shape 

 and e.xtremely solid, and the stem does not run up 

 into the head, hence its name "Nokor" (no core). 

 The flesh is extremely firm, tender and white, making 

 it a most desirable Cabbage for Kraut. It matures 

 fully two weeks earlier than any of the late-growing 

 varieties, and yet it will stand a long time before 

 bursting. I recommend it particularly as an early-ma- 

 turing main-crop variety. Fkt. 10 cts., oz. 30 cts., >4lb. 

 |i, lb. J3.50, by mail postpaid.
