Vegetable Seeds. 



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

 stalks above the surface, which are as fine flavored as the best green-stalked. 



Pkt., 5 ets.; oz., 10 cts. 

 BEET, Detroit Dark Red — Form Globular or ovoid; smooth roots, with small tops; skin 

 blood-red; flesh dark red, zoned with a lighter shade, tender and sweet. 

 Pkt., 5 ets.; oz., 10 cts. 

 SWISS CHARD, or ''Spinach Beet," Large-Ribbed White — This variety does not make 

 edible roots like the regular garden beets, but is grown for the broad white-leaf stalks, 

 which are bunched and cooked in the same manner as asparagus, and make a delicious 

 summer vegetable. The young leaves may be gathered also and cooked like spinach. 



Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts. 

 BRUSSELS SPROUTS, Danish Prize — The plants are of strong robust growth. The 

 stalks are large, thick, and close-jointed, so that the sprouts set thickly on the 

 stalk. The sprouts develop for nearly the entire height of the stalk at about the same 

 time, — consequently a very large crop can be gathered. Even the sprouts formed at the 

 base of the stalk are tightly folded; they are quite as fine and solid as those higher up. 

 Per pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 40 cts. 

 BEAN, Giant Stringless Green-Pod Valentine — The plants are of strong growth; pods 

 slightly curved, very meaty; being broadly rounded and saddle-backed; brittle and 

 stringless at all stages. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; qt., 15 cts. 

 BEANS, Davis' White Wax — Immensely productive, bearing large, handsome straight pods 

 six inches in length. The pods are, however, tough and with decided strings. The dry 

 seed being white, is desirable for winter market as a shelled bean. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts. 

 BEANS, Prolific Dwarf Black Wax — Dwarf bush grown and very prolific. Pods four to 

 five inches in length, usually curved, quite round; meaty; brittle and stringless; deep 

 golden yellow, of excellent flavor. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts. 



BEAN, Burpee's Bush Lima — Burpee's Bush Lima comes absolutely 

 true from seed. The bushes grow IS to 20 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 beans, identical in size and 

 luscious flavor with the well-known large Pole Limas. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts. 

 BEANS, Kentucky Wonder Pole Bean — The pods, seven to nine 

 inches long, are so fleshy that they are greater in width than 

 breadth, being deeply creased or "saddle-backed." They are solidly 

 meaty, stringless when young, and of finest quality. If pods are 

 gathered as they mature, the vines will continue to bear to the end 

 of the season. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts.; qt., 45 cts. 

 CABBAGE, Early Summer — 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., 5 cts.; oz., 20 cts. 

 CABBAGE, Hollander or Dutch Winter. The best Cabbage for late 

 spring sales and for shipping. This has become known as the most 

 reliable Cabbage for the shipping trade, and has been almost uni- 

 versally used in districts famous for Cabbage growing. The heads 

 are of medium size, averaging about 8 lbs., and are very solid, and 

 in their fine white color entirely distinct from other kinds. While 

 the quality is good they are uniformly excellent keepers, the heads 

 being often just as solid and perfect when taken out in the spring 

 as when put awav in the fall. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 35 cts. 

 CABBAGE, Mammoth Rock Red — The best large Red Cabbage. A 

 sure header, of good red color to the center. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts. 

 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., 10 cts. 

 CUCUMBER, London Long Green — This is an old-time popular garden 

 favorite. Our carefully selected strain under favorable conditions, 

 produces fruits averaging 10 to 12 inches in length. Skin a deep 

 rich green; Mesh 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. 

 CUCUMBER, Fordhook Pickling — This is one of the best and most 

 prolific for producing pickles of medium size. The vines are ex- 

 tremely vigorous and healthy, yielding a large number of fruits if 

 kept gathered at the proper stage. Skin extremely thin, tender, 

 and free from toughness when pickled. If allowed to grow to full 

 size, fruits are of excellent table quality, but where the largest 

 quantity of pickles is desired fruits should be gathered while small. 

 Per pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.
