VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



ASPARAGUS, Columbian Mammoth White — This large-stalked strain produces white

 desirable for winter market as a shelled bean. Pkt, 10 cts.; pt, 25 cts.

BEAN, Burpee's Bash Lima — Burpee's Bush Lima comes absolutely true from seed. The bushes grow 

 eighteen to twenty inches high, of stout growth and always erect, yet branching so vigorously 

 that each plant develops into a magnificent circular bush from two to three feet in diameter. It 

 is an immense yielder, the handsome large pods being well filled with very large heans, identical 

 in size and luscious flavor with the well-known large Pole Limas. Pkt, 10 cts.; pt, 25 cts., postpaid, 



CABBAGE, Early Sammer — It makes large, solid, round flattened, compact heads, of excellent quality. 

 It is particularly true in the color of the plant, which has a peculiar bluish tinge. Pkt, 5c; oz., 20c 



CUCUMBER, Extra Early White Spine— This is a special strain of the Popular White Spine Cucumber, 

 which is most desirable for its extreme earliness. Pkt, 5 cts.; oz., 15 cts. 



CUCUMBER, London Long Green— This is an old-time popular garden favorite. Our carefully selected 

 strain under favorable conditions, produces fruits averaging from 10 to 12 inches in length. Skin 

 a deep rich green; flesh solid, crisp and of excellent quality. This extra selected strain of the 

 original type can be depended upon to produce the true long dark-green fruits — excellent alike for 

 slicing or pickling. Pkt, 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.

 five to six inches long; very stump-rooted; about three inches thick at

 crisp and pungent; very refreshing. Pkt, 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts. 



CAULIFLOWER, Early Snowball— This is a popular extra early strain of 

 dwarf compact growth. Under favorable circumstances nearly every 

 plant will make a fine solid head of good size. It is valuable for both 

 early and late. Pkt, 15 cts.; V-i oz., $1.00. 



CELERY, Golden Self- Blanching. The best of all early "self-blanching" varieties- 

 It is of dwarf compact habit, with thick, solid, heavily ribbed stalks 

 which blanch easily to a clear waxen yellow. When grown in rich moist 

 soil the stalks are numerous, each plant being fully as thick through as 

 the largest of the tall late sorts, and with a large solid heart of beauti- 

 ful golden-yellow stalks and leaves. Pkt, 10 cts.; oz., 45 cts. 



CORN, Black Mexican — A medium-early vai-iety, growing about six feet in 

 height, ears eight inches long, well-filled with eight rows of large, 

 rather flat grains, which are a deep bluish purple of extremely sweet 

 flavor. Pkt, 10 cts., pt, 25 cts.; qt, 40 cts. 



CORN, Golden Bantam— Of extreme hardiness, can be planted earlier than 

 any other true sweet corn, and will then produce the earliest supply of 

 ears for the table. The ears are about six inches in length, completely 

 filled with eight rows of golden-yellow grains, extending to the rounded 

 tip. The flavor is exceptionally rich and sugary. 

 Pkt, 10 cts.; pt, 25 cts.; qt, 40 cts.
