This is the long-looked- for bean, combining har- 

 diness and productiveness with fine quality. A 

 strong-growing bush variety of remarkable vigor 

 and freedom from rust. It sends out short tendrils 

 on which pods are formed in addition to those near 

 the central stalk of the plant, which accounts for its 

 wonderful productiveness, amounting, under favorable 

 conditions, from 100 to 150 fold. The pods are meaty and 

 well filled, thick-flat when young, and semi-round later; of 

 fine quality, and entirely stringless even when large enough to shell 

 plant continues to furnish a bountiful supply for an unusually long 

 printed on each packet. Per pkt., 10 cts.; 3 pkts., 25 cts.; pint, 25 cts 

 , quart, 35 cts.; peck, S2.00; bushel, $7.00.

The Stone Tomato. 



This is one of the finest tomatoes for main crop ever 

 introduced; very large size and of.bright scarlet color, 

 very smooth, ripening evenly to the stem without a 

 crack. As indicated by its name it-is exceedingly solid 

 and firm-fleshed. As a shipper it has no equal, and the 

 quality is the very best. It is not subject to rot, has no 

 hard core, and is an excellent keeper. For market pur- 

 poses it is very attractive. The vines and foliasre grow 

 rank and robust, and are heavily loaded with fine, uni- 

 form specimens. It is the coming tomato for market 

 gardeners and canners and private gardeners. Per pkt., 

 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; y± lb., 75 cts.; lb., $2.50. 



Burlington Hybrid Sweet Corn. 



This variety originated in Burlington County, N. J., 

 and is a cross between Adams' Extra Early and a large- 

 eared sugar corn. It is as earl y as the Adams, and pro- 

 duces ears fully as large as Stowell's Evergreen, and is 

 more productive than either. Although not strictly a 

 sweet corn, yet it is the first corn in market and sells 

 readily as such. The grain, when dry, is smooth and of 

 a creamy white color, the ears-are set.lowand are borne 

 three or four to a stalk. Pkt. 10 cts.. pint 20 cts.. quart 

 35 cts., postpaid. By exp. or freight, peck 90c, bush. S3. 



. . . Celestial Pepper ... 



This pepper originally came from China, and the 

 plant is one of the most beautiful and attractive in cul- 

 tivation. The plant begins to set its peppers early in 

 the season and continues until frost, branching freely 

 and bearing profusely. The peppers, up to the' time 

 they are fully grown,"are of a delicate creamy, yellow 

 color, and when fully grown, change to an intense vivid 

 scarlet, making a plant, when loaded with fruit, part Of 

 one color and part of the other, an object of the most 

 striking beauty and oddity. The peppers are 2 to 3 

 inches long, of clear, sharp flavor and superior for any 

 of the uses to which a pepper can be put. They are all 

 carried uprisht, and the brilliant contrast in color makes 

 a beautiful sight. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; % lb. 75c; lb. §2.50. 



Perkin's flammoth Long Podded Okra. 



The pots 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 three inches of the 

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

 height of a man's head. Mr. Perkins alwavs obtained 

 $3.00 to S1.00 per basket for his Okras in Philadelphia 

 markets: also much sought after by canners. bpin^r the 

 best of all green sorts for winter use. Pkt. o cts., oz. _ 

 cts., H lb. 25 cts., lb. 90 cts., postpaid.
