 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 So to 90 per cent, 

 of the plants come true from seed. This grand 

 result has not come by chance, but is the legitimate 

 outcome of years of patient work and careful se- 

 lection bv the originator. 



In addition to the mar\-elous advantage of its 

 white color, the Columbian Mammoth White As- 

 paragus ife even more robust and vigorous in habit 

 and throws larger shoots and fully as many of 

 them as the Conover's 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 cultivation and that no 

 Asparagus grower can afibrd to plant seed of any 

 other kind. Our claims are not mere theors*, but 

 are substantiated by actual experience. A field 

 grown by one of the largest and best Asparagus 

 growers in this countrA- fielded an equal weight of 

 cuttings with his best field of any other variety 

 and brought 20 per cent, more, not in a fancy mar- 

 ket or as a novelty-, but at a canning factory-, where 

 it was put up under a special brand and brought 

 enough more to warrant the packers in pa\-ing ex- 

 tra for it. 



Market gardeners, growers tor canners and 

 amateurs should give this great acquisition a 

 thorough trial.

Eclipse Beet. 



Burpee's Bush Lima Beans. 



This new extra early Beet is remarkable for its 

 fine quaUty and rapid growth, is of deep red color 

 and handsome shape : as an early market sort it is 

 unrivaled. We have never known a market gardener 

 to tr^- it, but who wanted it again. 



Pkts., 5 cts.: oz.. 10 cts.: U lb., 20 cts.: lb., 50 cts. 



The grower says : The bushes grow eighteen to twenty inches high, 

 stout growth and always erect, yet bra?iching- so vigorously that each 

 plaat develops into a magnificent circular bush./ro/w two feet to three 

 feet in diameter. The bush character is thoroughly estabhshed, not one plant in a thousand showing anv disposition " to run. " 

 It IS an immense yielder, each bush bearing from 50 to 200 of the handsome large pods well filled with ver\- large beans, which 

 are xdent-ical ni size and his cioiis flavor to the u ell-knozi n large pole Limas. Bv the introduction of this most \^aluable noveltv, 

 the largest and best Lima Beans can now be raised in quantitv at small cost, without the expense and labor attached to the use 

 of poles. Pkts., 15 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; pt., 40 cts.: qt., 75 cts.: bv mail post paid.
