Dound Pod 



^^^ Kidney Wa.x 



Among the multitude of new wax podded beans this seems preeminently valuable. The vine is 

 dwarf, large and very productive and the long and exceedingly beautiful pods are of the best quality, 

 and in form are perfect, an imperfectly shaped pod being rarely seen. The dry beans are slenderer than 

 those of Kidney Wax, are more nearly cylindrical and are nearly white with a little darker coloring 

 around the eye. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bushel $8.00 See colored plate opposite.

A NEW WHITE SEEDED, DWARF VARIETY WITH ROUND, STRINGLESS PODS OF UNSURPASSED BEAUTY 



AND QUALITY 



This is the result of crossing a white seeded sort with the Yosemite and in it the good qualities of 

 the latter variety are developed to a superlative degree, while its faults of shy bearing and imperfect 

 pods are eliminated ; the Jones' Stringless Wax being wonderfully productive of uniformly well shaped 

 and handsome pods. The plant is exceedingly hardy, rust-proof and productive. It matures the long, 

 round, fleshy, stringless pods very early and ripens its crop of seed earlier than the earliest of our field 

 beans, so that it will prove a valuable sort for the farm as well as the garden. The ripe beans are salable 

 as No. 1 Medium and are of superior quality for culinary use. This feature makes the sort of especial 

 value to market gardeners, since, if from any reason there is no sale for them as snaps, the value of the . 

 dry beans will make the crop a remunerative one. Every farmer and gardener should try it.

^tringless ... *^ *^ 



Green Pod Beans 



No bean of recent introduction has given more universal satisfaction than this variety, and its 

 development marks a decided improvement in sti;ing beans. The plant is dwarf, large, very vigorous and 

 matures a heavy yield. The pods are fully twice as large, more fleshy and quite as stringless as those 

 of the Valentine and mature about the same time. The dry beans are oval and are chocolate brown. 

 Do not fail^to try it. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bushel $4.50 See colored plate opposite, 



jsioLT^s A ^ Tomato 



This is a new sort originating with a New Jersey market gardener and it seems to us one of the 

 most valuable varieties ever developed. The fruit is large, smooth, of rich red color and good quality. 

 It ripens very nearly as early as Atlantic Prize while its greater size, better form and quality make it 

 far superior to that sort for either the market or home garden. We are certain that all who plant this 

 new sort will be pleased with it. Pkt. 15c; 4 Pkts. 50c; 10 Pkts. $1.00 See colored plate opposite. 



Ferry's SuperbissimaL 

 V V V V Blotched 



Pansy 



This magnificent strain was developed by one of the most skillful plant breeders and seed 

 growers in the world and is the result of long continued effort with a view to seeing how much could 

 be accomplished by skill and care rather than for the sake of any profit which might result from .the 

 work. The aim has been to develop large, broad, thick, brilliantly colored petals forming a most 

 perfectly shaped flower and this has been accomplished to a marvelous degree. The flowers are not 

 only of immense size but the petals have great substance and are very broad, overlapping one another 

 to such an extent as to give the effect of a somewhat doubled flower. Brilliancy rather than uniformaty 

 of coloring has been aimed at, indeed the latter has been studiously avoided. Every seed of Ferry's 

 Superbissima Blotched has come from a plant producing very large, exceedingly brilliantly colored 

 and perfectly shaped flowers made up of broad, thick petals and we believe that there has never before 

 been offered in this country or Europe, seed which can be so depended upon to give the finest possible 

 Pansies. It is a novel " novelty " in that it is better than claimed and is distinctly superior rather 

 than simply different from old strains. Pkt. 15c. See colored plate opposite page 6g..
