ASPARAGUS 



Asparagus has made for itself a recognized place as a standard vege- 

 table which can be counted on every year to bring in the first early 

 money. It is a crop which has been grown successfully on a large scale 

 by a great many progressive farmers, and a well-started bed is one of 

 the very best farm investments. Being unable to procure a sufficient 

 quantity of our old S. S. Giant Green seed supply, we have, of necessity, 

 returned to the two standard varieties, Conover's Colossal and Giant 

 Argenteuil. 



2 Conover's Colossal (Seed) 



Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., 141b. IS cts., lb. 50 cts. 



10 Conover's Colossal (Roots) 



One-year-old, 15 cts. per doz., $1 per 100 by prepaid parcel post; 

 $4 per 1,000 by freight or express at purchaser's expense. 



Two-year-old, 20 cts. per doz., $1.20 per 100 by prepaid parcel post; 

 $4.50 per 1,000 by freight or express at purchaser's expense. 



4 Giant Argenteuil (Seed) 



Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 15 cts., lb. 50 cts. 



12 Giant Argenteuil (Roots) 



One-year-old, IS cts. per doz., 90 cts. per 100 by prepaid parcel post; 

 $4.25 per 1,000 by freight or express at purchaser's expense. 



Two-year-old, 20 cts. per doz., $1.20 per 100 by prepaid parcel post; 

 $4.75 per 1,000 by freight or express at purchaser's expense. 



LIMA BEANS 



The Seed Bean outlook for the first time in many years seems to 

 be highly satisfactory. The bulk of our Bean-supply is being grown 

 for us privately in Colorado from our own stock seed and, when inspected by us in August, was in splendid condition. We 

 believe Beans this year are down to as low a level as will be reached on the present high market basis, for it is impossible to have 

 Beans grown at the old prices so long as wheat brings S2.20 per bushel; and we are sure that no Bean-grower will want to see the 

 wheat-growers receive less money. 



We are adding no introductions to our list this year with the possible exception of Davis W'hite Wax, which is being listed here 

 for the first time but which is not a new variety to the trade. Beans are a splendid war-time crop and should be very profitable to 

 grow during 1919. 



42 Early Leviathan Pole 



Of all of the old varieties, this is the earliest and at the same 

 time almost as productive as any other Lima Bean under culti- 

 vation. The pods are uniformly straight and are produced in 

 even cluster. Pkt. 10 cts., lb. 40 cts., 10 lbs. $2.50, bus. $15, 

 100 lbs. $25. 



44 King of the Garden, or Ford's 

 Mammoth-Podded 



This Bean was introduced some thirty-five years ago, being 

 developed from a selection of the Large \\ hite Pole Lima. It is 

 very similar to the old Ford's Mammoth Pole, as introduced by 

 Johnson & Stokes in 1893, and of late years these two Beans 

 have been used almost interchangeably by the seed trade. This 

 Bean is a great climber, very productive and late in season, hav- 

 ing a long bearing season. Pkt. 10 cts., lb. 40 cts., 10 lbs. $2.50, 

 bus. $15, 100 lbs. $25. 



Giant Argenteuil Asparagus 



35 Fordhook Bush 



As a standard bush Lima Bean, the Fordhook now holds first 

 place. The demand for it has increased every year and it has done 

 more to replace the pole Lima than any other one variety. This 

 Bean is to 5 inches in length, each pod containing from three 

 to five large beans of exceptional quality. The dried Beans are 

 oval in shape, very thick, and white with a greenish tinge. The 

 seed offered this year has been grown under ideal conditions and 

 has been harvested so that there is a minimum of cracked seed 

 in the sample. Pkt. 10 cts., lb. 40 cts., 10 lbs. $3.75, bus. $18, 

 100 lbs. $30. 



36 Henderson's Bush Lima, or Sieva 



A small-podded, very early type, growing in a compact bush 

 form. There will be from two to four seeds in each pod. The 

 quality is excellent. Pkt. 10 cts., lb. 40 cts., 10 lbs. $2.50, bus. 

 $15, 100 lbs. $25.
