HENDERSON'S NEW BUSH LIMA BEAN. 



We have a fine stock of the Genuine Bush Lima Bean, 

 direct from the introducers, whose description we quote and 

 heartily endorse: "This wonderful innovation created a 

 greater furore than any vegetable novelty that has ever been 

 offered. Those who never had a vegetable garden before 

 were induced to plant the Henderson Bush Lima Bean, be- 

 cause it enabled them to have the most delicious of all vege- 

 tables without the trouble and expense of the unsightly poles. 

 We received hundreds of the most flattering letters from every 

 State telling of its wonderful success. The specimen shown 

 in illustration was taken from a prize plant sent in last season, 

 which had 271 pods on it at one time. Henderson's New 

 Bush Lima grows without the aid of stakes or poles in com- 

 pact bush form, about 18 inches high, and produces enormous 

 crops of delicious Lima Beans, which can be as easily 

 gathered as the common garden Bush softs. Henderson's 

 New Bush Lima is at least two weeks earlier than any of 

 the climbing Limas. This fact alone would stamp it as the 

 most valuable novelty of recent years, but when, in addition 

 to this, we consider that it is a true Bush Bean, requiring no 

 supports, some idea of its great value can be realized." The 

 New Bush Lima produces a continuous crop from the time 

 it comes into bearing (it is fit for the table in the latitude of 



ddle of July) until frost, and being enormously productive, a very 

 11 keeo a family supplied with this splendid vegetable through 



The beans are the size of the Sieva or Small Lima, and of that 



ity that has made the Southern Lima so famous. Every order 

 this valuable new variety. Large pkt., 10 cts. ; 3 pkts. for 25 



cts.; quart, 60 cts.

EARLY CABBAGE. 

 BURPEE'S ALL-HEAD. 



We recommend it as follows : 



First: EABLINESS.-THE ALL-HEAD EARLY is the earliest 

 of all large Cabbages— being at least a week earlier than any of the 

 various strains of Early Summer Cabbage. 



Second : SIZE. — It is fully one-third larger than the Early Sum- 

 mer, and therefore much more profitable to the market gardener, who 

 has in this variety a Cabbage larger and earlier — considerations of 

 the greatest importance. 



Third: UNIFORMITY.— The ALL-HEAD EARLY is unquestion- 

 ably the nearest approach toa thoroughbred Cabbage of any yet in- 

 troduced, both as regards size, form and uniformity of development. 

 Fourth: QUALITY. — -The main feature of a good Cabbage is 



tenderness 

 and in this re- 

 spect Bur- 

 pee's All- 

 Head Early 

 surpasses all 

 others. Ten- 

 derness is the 

 result of rapid 

 growth and as 

 the All-Head 

 Earl\comesin 

 quicker t han 

 any of the other 

 flat Cabbages, 

 it is conse- 

 quently more 

 tender; veins 

 and midribs of 

 the leaves are 

 finer than anv 



ALL-HEAD EARLY CABBAGE. Other 



Fifth: ADAPTATION.— While Burpee's All-Head Early is all 

 that can be desired for earliness, it is equally valuable for a late or 

 Winter Cabbage. To Winter well the heads must be deep or thick 

 through, a prominent feature of this variety. Seed of the All-Head 

 sown in July, plants set out about August 10, will make heads sure 

 to Winter well. 



The epitome of our claims for the All-Head Early Cabbage is 

 EARLINESS, LARGE SIZE, UNIFORMITY, GREAT PRO- 

 DUCTIVENESS. GOOD QUALITY and Us ADAPTATION to 

 the necessity for an AII-the-Year Round Cabbage.

NEW GOLDEN 

 SELF-BLANCHING CELERY. 



The Best Early Celery. 



This is the parent of Giant Pascal Celery ; habit of growth close 

 and compact, straight, vigorous stalks. The quality is unexcelled, 

 the ribs being perfectly solid, crisp, brittle and of delicious flavor. 

 Without any backing up or covering whatever, the outer ribs become 

 a handsome, fresh, creamy white color, while the large and solid 

 heart is beautiful rich golden-yellow color. The New Golden Self- 

 blanching is undoubtedly the best Celery in cultivation for use before 

 Giant Pascal. Pkt., 10 cts. ; 3 pkts., 25 cts. ; % oz., 20 cts. ; oz., 35 

 cts.; ^ lb., p.; lb., $3.50.

NEW GIANT PASCAL CELERY. 



NEW GIANT PASCAL CELERY. 



The Best Winter Celery. 



Every one that grows Celery should plant at least some of this 

 valuable new variety. It shows remarkable improvement and is 

 undoubtedly the best Celery yet sent out for Winter use. It is the 

 largest of all, and of superb quality ; the immense stalks are beautiful 

 waxy golden in color, and are thick, solid, entirely stringless, of rich 

 nutty flavor and entirely free from any bitter taste. It can be used 

 when quite small, and does not become watery ; it requires but a few 

 days of slight earthing up for blanching beautifully. It is the best 

 keeper of all Celeries, and we think without question it will supersede 

 all other late varieties. Pkt., 10 cts. ; 3 pkts., 25 cts. ; y z oz., 20 cts. ;
