I do not claim to carry a full line of seeds, but there 

 are a great many kinds that I can handle to advant- 

 age, and in every case 1 shall offer these as low as 

 Is consistent with best quality and new stock. I will 

 duplicate the prices of any reliable concern. 



Nu.N-W AKRANTY. — Most of the failures with seeds, 

 lants and bulbs are due to causes entirely beyond our 

 uutrol. such as unfavorable weather and soil condl- 

 i>,,ion.s: too deep or too shallow planting, etc., which 

 r renders it impossible for us to guarantee success, and 

 ^ ilthough we take all possible pains to supply only such 

 „'()ods as will, under proper conditions, produce satis- 

 factory results, we still give no warranty as to descrip- 

 tion, quality or productiveness of any of the seeds, 

 plants or bulbs that we send out. and will not be In any 

 way responsible for the crop, and every order for artl- 

 cbs named in this catalogue will be executed on these 

 conditions only. It must, however, be plain to every- 

 one who gives the matter the slightest thought that It 

 is to our best Interests to send out only such stock as

 scription. 



BEETS. 



BASTIAN'S BLOOD TTJKNIP.— This is early, 

 large size, tine form, bright red color, and highly re- 

 commended for home use or market. We consider 

 It one of the best. Tkt. He: oz. 10c. ; 1-4 lb. 20c.; 

 lb. 50c. 



EXTRA EARLY EGYPTIAJf .— The Egyptian 

 beet is one of the most popular varieties among 

 market gardeners for forcing. Justly or unjustly it 

 Is considered to be the earliest of all. It certainly 

 will bear close planting in the valuable space undi-r 

 the glass or in a warm garden in the spring. It is 

 turnip shape, and when .voung is tender and crisp. In 

 color it is dark red. I offer a superior strain of this 

 variety to gardeners who have a preference for the 

 Egyptian. Pkt Dc. : oz. 10c. : 1-4 lb. 20c. ; lb. .^Oc.

 the home garden and to market. Round shape and

 NIP. — A spli'ndid beet of deep red color, for home use 

 or for market One of the best for canning on ac- 

 count of its beautiful color, small upright tops and 

 perfectly smooth roots : tender and sweet. Pkt. 5c. ;
