KING OF THE GARDEN LIMA BEAN. 



A vigorous grower, bearing profusely large pods, ranging in 

 .length from 5 to 8 inches. Beans, when in a green state, are 

 much larger than the Lima; as the vines grow luxuriantly, two 

 are sufficient to each pole ; do not plant too closely, and beans 

 will set early, and continue bearing until killed by frost. The 

 quality of the Beans is unsurpassed ; very attractive and sale- 

 able. Price, packet, 10 cents; quart 50 cents. 



TESTIMONIALS, P. & W.'S MAMMOTH 

 PERFECT ENSILAGE CORN. 



Woodstock, Vt., Dec. 5th, 1887. 

 Messrs. Parker & Wood. 



Sirs: The Mammoth Ensilage corn I had from vou last 

 spring germinated the best of any I ever had on our best ground. 

 It averaged about twelve feet high, grew well and was fully as 

 early as Blunt's Prolific, which we have planted before ; came 

 up *a. great deal better. There were ears nearly large enough 

 to roast on some of it when I cut it. If I plant any Ensilage 

 Corn next year I shall want more. M. M. Lincoln. 



Messrs. Parker & Wood. Greenville, N. H., Nov. 14th, 1887. 



Gents: It is with pleasure that I add my testimony to the value of Parker & Wood's 

 Mammoth Ensilage corn. Scarcely a kernel failed to germinate. Although planted rather 

 late, nearly every stock had from one to two good sized ears, many of which were large 

 enough to boil. The stocks averaged about twelve feet high, and the yield very heavy, but 

 did not weigh any of it. I only had a small field compared with other years, but had to build, my 

 silo larger to hold it all. Should think there was certainly twenty-five tons per acre. It grew on 

 the poorest field on my farm. Manure spread with Kemp's Spreader, at rate of fifteen loads 

 per acre, with no other fertilizer used. Planted with horse-planter and cultivated with Thomas 

 smoothing harrow, and I. X. L. horse-hoe. Truly yours, 



G. W. Goddard, Pleasant View Farm. 



Messrs. Parker & Wood, Boston, Mass. Gloucester, Nov. 22d, 1887. 



Gentlemen: — I would say the "Mammoth Ensilage Corn" which you sent me this year 

 gzxz good satisfaction. We planted it on our lowest land, an old reclaimed meadow, and some 

 of it grew to most enormous height, reaching to fifteen and a half feet. We used on part of this 

 land barn manure, and on the balance Glidden & Curtis Pacific Guano. We prefer barn manure 

 to any guano that we can find, believing it will produce a larger yield per acre than guano. 



The corn germinated well, and we had a good crop, cutting twenty-five tons to an acre, the 

 corn growing rapidly, that is, most of it, when it was not too wet, and we can with pleasure ad- 

 vise any one wanting a good reliable article of " Ensilage Corn " to plant Parker & Wood's 

 Mammoth Ensilage " and they will find it reliable. We are with respect, your's truly, 



D. C. M. Balson. 



Messrs. Parker &Wood:— Kensington, N. H., Nov. 14th, 1887. 



We had good success with the Parker & Wood Ensilage Corn, bought of you. It ger- 

 minated well. Should say every grain was fertile. The growth was rapid, early, and yield per 

 acre we estimate at twenty-five to thirty tons, which is considered to be more than the average 

 yield ; here stalks were twelve feet high and very uniform. We put on fifteen loads manure 

 per acre, with Kemp's Spreader, which is a fair quantity, not heavy. We used several kinds of 

 fertlizer, with about the same result. We feel much satisfied with the Corn and will give you 

 an order next season. Yours truly, Dow Brothers. 



Messrs. Parker & Wood. Newport, N. H., Nov. 14th, 1^87. 



Dear Sirs: We this year planted five acres with your perfect Ensilage Corn. Three acres 

 were planted the 1st of June on land enriched with about five cords of barn-yard manure per 

 acre, and yielded from thirty to thirty-five tons per acre. When harvested the 1st of September 

 it averaged about fourteen feet in height, and was well eared, the kernels being perfectly formed. 

 The other two acres were planted the 6th of June, with three cords of manure per acre and 

 yielded about twenty tons per acre — The corn germinated perfectly. 



Yours very truly, Barrett Brothers.
