With this sort we reach the ideal Pole Lima. This delicious vegetable is 

 denied many would-be growers on account of the length of season required to 

 mature it, the early frost coming on just as the crop is ready to pick. This sort 

 is at least one week earlier than any large Pole Lima yet offered and fully two 

 weeks earlier than most, consequently it will prove a boon to thousands of growers. 

 Earliness is often obtained at the sacrifice of other valuable features, but in this 

 variety we claim superiority, not only in this respect, but in size of bean and pod 

 and enormous productiveness. It is in fact about perfect and of incalculable 

 value. (See cut.) Price, 35c. qt., $2.25 pk., $8.00 bush.

" / am very much pleased with your ' Leviathan Early Lima 

 Bean,' being early and grand for table use. I planted them 

 May 12th, and they were coming up May 16t/j, and grew so 

 rapidly that I had to hustle to keep them tied up. First picking 

 for the table July 26th, we are^ still picking (September 17th), 

 and young beans still forming." — E. HOLLISTER, Wellston 

 Mo. 



' ' Last spring I procured what was claimed to be early strains 

 of Pole Lima Beans from four seed houses and tested them along 

 with your ' Early Leviathan ' ; yours gave fine large beans for 

 the table a week earlier than the ' Jersey Extra Early,' and 10 

 days earlier than any other large White Pole Lima. As a gen- 

 eral thing, the large White Limas will not ripen in this cold 

 climate; with Leviathan there will be no trouble. I can but con- 

 gratulate you on its introduction." — EDWARD L. COY, Mel- 

 rose, Mass. 



DETROIT DARK RED BEET. 



A fine strain of turnip-shaped Beet. Valuable for its remarkable unifor- 

 mity and smoothness; size medium; flesh fine grained, tender and remaining so 

 for a long time ; admirable for either summer or fall use. The roots are "real blood' ' 

 color, smooth and uniformly round and never get "woody." The tops 

 are dark colored and vigorous. It is one of the best varieties for 

 bunching and will be found equally as good to store for winter 

 marketing, for when " topped " and heaped in measures it is / 



very showy. (See cut.) 10c. oz., 15c. \ lb., 50c. lb. (25-lb. lots, - y 



46c. lb.) 



EGYPTIAN BEET. 



A standard extra early sort, being 10 to 12 days earlier than 

 the old Blood Turnip. The roots are round and flattened, of 

 good size and deep crimson in color; tops unusually small, mak- 

 ing it a good bunching sort. Our stock is especially selected 

 for shape and color with even tops. 10c. oz., 15c. \ lb., 40c. lb. 

 (25-lb. lots, 35c. lb.) 



CROSBY'S EGYPTIAN BEET. 



An excellent first early variety, uniform in shape and dark 

 red in color. The tops are small yet large enough to bunch easily. 

 Our stock of Crosby's Egyptian Beet is highly selected for the 

 market gardener's use. 10c. oz., 15c. i lb., 45c. lb. (25-lb. lots, 

 40c. lb.) 



DEWING'S BEET. 



A favorite sort among truckers, used quite extensively for 

 winter storing. The tops are large and strong growing, the roots 

 smooth, almost round and tapering at base. The outer coloring 

 of the root is dark and quite attractive, making it very valuable 

 for market work. The inner color is good, the flesh being quite 

 strongly ringed with bright red and white. 10c. oz., 15c. \ lb., 

 40c. lb. 



ECLIPSE BEET. 



This popular variety follows immediately after Egyptian in 

 season, has equally small tops, and, being almost round in shape, 

 makes a very attractive bunch. We have a finely selected stock 

 which matures very uniformly, grown especially to meet the 

 requirements of the market gardener, and can be thoroughly relied on 

 for main crop. 10c. oz., 15c. \ lb., 45c. lb, (25-lb. lots, 40c. lb.)
