FADST'S 6ENDINE 

 BLOOMSDALE SPINACH 



This variety we have raised at Bristol, 

 Pa., for many year.-*, and not only sup- 

 ply our own extensive market ^arden- 

 ■ers' trade, but furu sii oilier seed firms 

 with the seed, as they can rely impJicitly 

 on our strain. It i;* largely used and is 

 highly popular among the market gard- 

 •eners of Philadelphia, and is unsur- 

 passed hy an V spinach grown elsewhere. 

 The leaves are large, thick, heavy and 

 ^nely curled, and will stand shipping 

 and handling better than any other 

 "Variety. Irs quality is unequalled and 

 its productiveness is something won- 

 derful. Every pound of seed which we 

 offer for sr.le of this variety hfls been 

 :grownatBri tol for us, and has rereived 

 the most careful attention to have it 

 pure and entirely free from any pHrk'y 

 sort. Per pkt., 6 cts ; oz., 10 rts : "4 lb., 

 15 cts.; lb, 40 cts, postpaid. Bv ex- 

 press or freight, lb.. 30 cts ; "peck, 

 ^.50; bush., 36.00. 



PERKINS' MAMMOTH LONG PODDED 

 OKRA. 



The pods are an intense green color, about 8 inches 

 long, and do not get hard as with other sorts. Its pro- 

 ductiveness is simply wonderful, the pods shooting ^out 

 from the bottom of the stalk within 3 inches ©f the 

 ground, and the whole plant is covered with them to the 

 lieight of a man's head. Mr, Perkins always obtained 

 $3.00 to $4.00 per basket for his Okras in Philadelphia 

 markets; also much sought after by canners, being the 

 fcest of all green sorts for winter use. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz,, 

 20 cts.; i lb., 25 cts.; lb., 90 cts,, postpaid. 



CALIFORNIA CREAM BUTTER LETTUCE. 



A very distinct variety ; forms round, solid heads, 

 which outside are of a medium green, slightly marked 

 with small brown spots ; within, the leaves are of a very 

 rich, cream-yellow color, most refreshing in appearance 

 and particularly rich and buttery to the taste. It is 

 medium early and one of the best summer varieties of 

 head lettuce we have ever seen. It is a black-seeded 

 variety, and the heads are so solid that, generally, they 

 have to be cut before any seed stalk can make its ap- 

 pearance. The heads are of good size and very tender. 

 Pkt, 5 cts.; oz,, 15 cts,; i lb,, 40 cts,; lb., $1.50.

 ..Bqsh Lima Beaq. 



This Tfvluable 3ish Bean has 

 fully BUstaineii our claim to 

 be the best of the new race of 

 Bii-ih Limas. It p' fchetses all tl.e 

 good qualiiie.s of the Dreer's Im- 

 proved Large Lima, which has 

 long been admitted the best in 

 quality of the Pole Limas, as 

 well as the most attractive and 

 desirable for table use. The 

 Dreer's JBusb L.ima is of 

 vigorous bushy habit, growing 

 from 13^ to 2 feet high, and 

 producing pods in great abund- 

 ance; shows no disposition to 

 run and is undoubtedly the 

 most profuse bearer ot all of the 

 Lima Bean family ; single plants 

 have borne over 180 pods. The 

 beans grow close together in the 

 pods, producing 3 or 4, and 

 someliiues 5 in a pod, and are 

 very thick, sweet, and (-ncoulent; 

 It ripens fully 10 days earlier 

 than the Pole Lima, and je- 

 quiresno poles or stakes what- 

 ever. Your garden is incomplete
