THE DINGEE & CONARD COMPANY'S 



THE EARUESTojALL 



The Best for the Family Garden. 



E recommend our Extra Early Pea as the earliest of all, 

 and best for the family garden. This superb 

 variety is our own tested stock, and we stake our 

 reputation on it. As will be seen by our illustration, the pods are of fine 

 size, and borne in the greatest abundance and perfection ; indeed, the yield 

 is extraordinary for an Extra Early Pea, and it ripens up evenly, allowing 

 the crop to be cleared away promptly, which is a strong point in its favor. 

 We are confident that all who once plant The Dingee and Conard Company's 

 Extra Early Pea will have no other. Large pkt, io cts ; pint, 20 cts.; quart, 40 cts. By 

 Freight or Express, y 2 peck, 75 cts.; peck, $1.40; % bushel, $2.25 ; bushel, $4.50. 



THE WILLOW LEAF LIMA DENVER MARKET LETTUCE. 



It is an early variety of head Lettuce, either for forcing or growing 

 in the garden; forms large, solid heads of choice light green colo: 

 leaves beautifully marked, very crisp, tender, and of superb flavo 

 heads more oblong than " Hanson." Per pkt., 10 cts. ; oz., 40 cts 

 % lb., $1.25; lb., #4. 



BANQUET MUSK MELON. 



Our trials of this grand Musk Melon agree perfectly with the 

 description of the introducers, who say it is the result of years of 

 careful selection and improvement at the hands of the most experi- 

 enced grower of Melons in the world, who considers it his greatest 

 production, and likely to supersede all otherred-fleshed Melons. The 

 Banquet is a medium-sized Cantaloupe, flat at both ends, and more 

 beautifully netted than any other variety ; the flesh is uniformly deep, 

 of dark rich salmon color, and **®|, in flavor and quality has no 



equal with us. The Banquet \flk is most prolific in fine edible 



Melons. We strongly rec- §||\ ommend it (see cut). Per 

 pkt., 15 cts. ; 2 pkts. for 25 >R\ cts - » 5 pkts. for 50 cts. 



POLE BEAN. 



Although this remarkable new Bean has been known to a limited 

 extent in Georgia and Alabama, it was first brought prominently be- 

 fore the public by Messrs. W. Atlee Burpee & Co., who thoroughly 

 tested and proved its enormous productiveness and great value in 

 every part of the United States by distributing several thousands of 

 small packets free for trial. Our own inspection of the crop, coupled 

 with this knowledge, allows us to cordially endorse their description 

 given below. Our seed of WILLOW LEAF LIMA is direct from 

 Messrs. W. Atlee Burpee & Co., and can therefore be depended 

 upon. 



" It differs from all other Limas, also from all other Beans known, 

 in its beautiful deeply cut foliage, aptly described in its name — WIL- 

 LOW LEAF ; by reason of its light, graceful foliage, it is so hand- 

 some that many gardeners have pronounced it worthy of growing as 

 an ornamental climbing vine. The leaves are trifoliate, beingnarrow, 

 not more than half an inch at the broadest part, and tapering to a point 

 some five inches. As the leaves are of a rich, dark green color, ail 

 pendent, it presents an attractive front. The beauty of the foliage, al- 

 though such an attraction, is overlooked as soon as it begins to bloom, 

 by reason of the profusion of blossoms, which is astonishing; the vines 

 are full of bloom, and later become loaded with pods. The vines 

 blossom and bear pods of uniform size from bottom to top. 



" The pods are of the Sieva or Sewee type, larger in size than Hen- 

 derson's Bush Lima, well filled with the pure white beans, which are 

 lender and of fine flavor. It matures beans ready for the table very 

 early ; the vines branch freely in every direction, continuing to blos- 

 som and bear throughout the season." Price, per pkt., 15 cts.; 

 2 pkts., 25 cts. ; 5 pkts., 50 cts., postpaid. Per pint, 75 cts.; per 

 quart, §1.40, postpaid by Mail. By Express, per pint, 65 cts.; per 

 quart, $1.25. 



BURPEE'S PROFUSION PEA 



Is of vigorous growth, the haulm attaining three feet in height and of 

 a very branching character — four to eight laterals starting from the 

 root. The haulm is very stout, the main stem usually branching at 

 the first three to five nodes above the ground. The pods are usually 

 produced in pairs, from 50 to 90 pods to the plant; they are well packed 

 with large, luscious Peas, of very sweet and splendid quality . The 

 Peas are of large size; often one-half inch in diameter, when green, 

 and are packed closely together in the pods, five to nine in a pod. 

 The plants are continuous bearers, extending over a period of several 

 weeks. Planted May 2, the Peas were ready for the table July 9. 

 Immense productiveness, stout, healthy growth and fine quality 

 must make it a leading variety for main crop. Our stock is direct 

 from Messrs. Burpee. Price, per 2 oz. pkge., 15 cts., or 2 pkgs. 

 for 25 cts.
