IMPROVED RUST-PROOF GOLDEN 



WAX.— This is the earliest, handsomest and hardiest 

 of all the Wax Beans. The pods are straight, long and 

 thicker than the ordinary Golden Wax. much superior in 

 quality, absolutely rust-proof and sure to become the 

 favorite Wax Bean: in fact, it has already gained great 

 popularity with growers.

KIDNEV W T AX.-This is one of the best of the 

 wax sorts. The vines are remarkably vigorous, hardy

 tender, perfectlv stringless. and of unusually fine quality.

REFUGEE WAX.— An old variety that hereto- 

 fore has been so impure and uneven that we did not care 

 to offer ir. We have now secured a stock which can be 

 depended upon to produce thick, fleshy, wax-like pods, of I 

 fine quality and of a clear, waxy-white color. It is one of 

 the earliest beans in cultivation. 



Qt. 20 cis. Pk. 80 cts. Bu. S3. 00. 



NEW GOLDEN-EYED WAX.— This fine new 

 bush Bean is very early: the vine grows vigorously about 

 one and a half feet high, holding the pods off the ground. 

 The pod* are handsome, long, straight and flat, remarka- 

 bly free from rust, and keep bright and crisp long after 

 other sorts are wilted and unsalable.

CI RRIE § RUST-PROOF BLACK WAX. 



— For earlitiess and freedom from rust it is at the head of 

 the Wax Bean family. Habit, upright and robust, hold- 

 ing the pods well from the ground. Pods. long, straight, 

 flat and very meaty, of a beautiful golden color; quality 

 not surpassed, and for productiveness unequalled. All 

 the above claims we have fully substantiated in our own 

 tests, and we recommend it to our market customers 

 with the greatest confidence.

HENDERSON'S DWARF LIMA, — These 

 are valuable because they do not need poles, and being so 

 dwarf c an be planted close together. They are very early I 

 and prolific, continuing to bear until frost. 



Pt. 20 cts. Qt. 20 cts. Pk. Si. 25. 



POLE or RUNNING BEANS. 



Set the poles three or four feet apart, and plant six to 

 eight beans, with the eye* downward, around each pole 

 thinning to four healthy plants when they are up. They 

 require the same soil and treatment as the dwarf varie- 

 ties, with the exception that they crave stronger soil and 

 do best in a sheltered location. 



:»IARYLAND WHITE. -This new White Pole 

 Bean is destined to take its place as one of the best Beans I 

 ever grown for general purposes. Its thick, meaty green 

 pods are very tender, rich in flavor, and produced in 

 great abundance. It is equally valuable as a snap or shell 

 bean. It has been grown in Maryland to a very limited 

 extent for a few years, and those who have grown it once 

 want it again.

CREASE-BACK, or FAT HORSE.- A well- 

 known and highly esteemed Southern variety. Very 

 productive. Forms very full, round pods, very fleshy, 

 entirely stringless and distinctly creased along the back, 

 hence its name. This variety is especially valuable for 

 its extreme earliness and its habit of perfecting all of its 

 pods at the same time.

DUTCH CASE KNIFE.— Vines moderately vig- 

 orous, climbing well, but not twining so tightly as some,

 ular, green, but becoming cream white: beans broad, 

 kidney shaped, flat, clear white, and of excellent quality, 

 green or dry.

BEETS. 



German, Runkel Rube. 



( One ounce of seed will sow one hundred feet of drill. ) 



Select a deep, rich sandy loam, and manure with well 

 decomposed compost or a good chemical fertilizer. Sow 

 in drills, fourteen to sixteen inches apart, and cover one 

 inch deep. When the young plants appear, thin to four 

 or five inches apart. For early use. sow as soon as the 

 ground can be worked in the spring: for autumn use. 

 about the middle of May: and for winter use. during June 

 or July, according to variety — the Jong varieties requiring" 

 more time to mature than the round early kinds. 



CROSBY'S DIFROVEn EGYPTIAN.- 

 We believe this to be the earliest variety in existence. 

 It is of perfect shape when small, thus makinsr a good 

 Beet for bunching, and is very popular with the market 

 gardeners for this purpose. Try it. and we know you 

 will be pleased. See description page 2.
