The result of years of careful growing and selecting. 
Far superior in both quality and productiveness to the 
common sorts. The vine is of medium size ,erecl, 
bearing a profusion of long pods well up from the 
ground. The dry beans are small, round, pure while, 
and of fine appearance. For this reason they are the 
most profitable for the farmer to grow, as they will 
always bring an extra price. Try a few of our Im- 
proved White Navy Beans and get acquainted with the 
best bean that grows. 
BOSTON YELLOW EYE— Lb., 20c postpaid; 10 lbs., $1.10 
Almost every one who has lived in New England knows 
the Boston Yellow Eye Bean. While much larger 
quantities of white beans of the Navy type are used 
than of all other varieties combined, those who know 
about the Boston Yellow Eye prefer them to any other 
bean for cookmg, as they possess a richness and flavor 
known to no other variety. As a shell bean they have 
no superior, and for cooking in a dry stale, no equal. 
Any surplus one may grow above requirements may be 
easily sold at from $1 lo $2 a bushel above Ihe price 
of any white beans, when their superior quality is 
known. We strongly recommend the planting of the 
Boston Yellow Eye. Once used Ihey are always 
wanted.

TABLE BEETS 
HOW TO PLANT.— The soil should be rich and deeply 
plowed, say 8 to 10 inches. Sow in rows from 14 to 20 
inches apart and about 1 to inches deep. About 6 
pounds of seed to the acre for garden or stock feed and for 
sugar about 20 pounds of seed to the acre. As soon as the 
plants have the fifth and sixth leaf, thin to one plant each 
8 inches. If under irrigation, water as soon as thinned. 
Cultivate often and do not water again until absolutely 
necessary, as the soil will dry fi-om the surface down and 
the tap roots will follow. Careful tests have proven that 
one cultivation a week will give the best results. Keep 
clean and remember that cultivation is the next thing 
necessary after the best seed and Ihe two are necessary 
lor success. 
Beet — (Crimson Globe). 
BEET— (Crimson Globe). Per oz. 10c; % lb., 40c; lb. $1 50 
Beets may come and Beets may go, but still the Crim- 
son Globe retains its position as the best Beel for the 
market gardener, as well as for the private garden. A 
constant steady demand from the same gardeners year 
alter year should be sufficient indorsement for this 
Beet. It is very symmetrical with small tap root and 
but few fibrous roots; color outside is deep blood-red- 
inside layers of blood-red and light-red alternately' 
When cooked are a beautiful dark red throughout 
fine grained and unsurpasse^l in quality. It continues 
to grow until late in the fall. One sowing only is nec- 
essary to produce early beets for market and main 
crop for winter use.
