MAMMOTH WHITE ASPARAGUS. 



A very Valuable and entirely Distinct Variety of this highly 

 esteemed Vegetable. 



It produces 

 shoots which 

 are white and 

 remain so as 

 long- as fit for 

 use, and from 

 80 to 90 per 

 cent, of the 

 plants come 

 true from 

 seed. This 

 grand result 

 has not come 

 by chance, 

 but is the le- 

 gitimate out- 

 come of years 

 of patient 

 work and 

 ji careful selec- 

 II tion by the 

 HI originator. 



In addition 

 to the marvel- 

 ous advan- 

 tage of its 

 white color, 

 the Colum- 

 bian Mam- 

 moth White 

 Asparagus is 

 even more ro- 

 bust and vig- 

 orous in habit 

 and throws 

 larger shoots 

 and fully as 



many of them as the Conoveris Colossal. When we add to 

 these the immense advantage of its needing no earthing up 

 in order to furnish the White shoots so much sought after, 

 we think it evident that it is superior to any sort now in cul- 

 tivation, and that no Asparagus grower can afford to plant 

 seed of any other kind. 



Market gardeners, growers for canners and amateurs sh<>uld 

 give this great acquisition a thorough trial.

LURPEE 3 BUSH LIMA BEA.V 



This is the long looked-f or Bean, combining hardiness and 

 productiveness with fine qtiality. 



A strong-growing bush variety of remarkable vigor and 

 freedom from rust. It sends out short tendrils on which pods 

 are formed in addition to those near the central stalk of the 

 plant, which accounts for its wonderful productiveness, 

 amounting, under favorable circumstances, to 100 to 150 fold. 



The pods are meaty and well filled, thick-flat when young 

 and semi-round later; of rich yellow color and fine quality, 

 and entirely stringless even when large enough to shell. If 

 the pods are picked as fast as formed, the plant continues to 

 furnish a bountiful supply for an unusually long sea-on.

BURPEE'S BUSH LIMA BEANS. 



The grower says: The bushes grow eighteen to twenty 

 inches high, stout growth and always erect, yet branching 

 so vigorously that each plant develops into a magnificent 

 circular bush, from two feet to th rce feet in diameter. The 

 bush character is thoroughly established, not one plant in 

 a thousand showing any disposition "to run."' It is an im- 

 mense yielder, each bush bearing from SO to 200 of the 

 handsome large pods, well filled with very large beans, 

 which are identical in size and luscious flavor to the well- 

 known large pole Limas. By the introduction of this most 

 valuable novelty, the largest and best Lima Beans can 

 now be raised in quantity at small cost, without the ex- 

 pense and labor attached to the use of poles.

HORTICULTURAL LIMA BEANS. 



A novelty of great merit, being a cross between the 

 Dwarf Horticultural and Dreer's Improved Lima, and 

 combining the good. qualities of the latter with the earli- 

 ness of the former. It has been tested thoroughly for two 

 years and found fully as early as the Dwarf Horticultu- 

 ral and as prolific as Dreer's Improved Lima. Its extreme 

 earliness will permit of its being planted far north of 

 where any true Lima bean can be grown, while its prolif- 

 icness and the quality of the green shelled beans make it 

 a desirable addition to any garden, north or south.
