BUSH LIMA BEANS 
FOBDHOOK BUSH T. TiwA . This Lima Bean was introduced two years ago and has given 
great satisfaction. The plants grow erect and stiff and have 5 to 6 thick meaty beans 
in each pod. Pkt, 10 cts.; pt. lO cts.: qt. SO cts. , ^ ^ 
HENDEBSON'S BUSH T. TTvrA . It has merit in being productive and very early for faniily 
use, and where the trade demands a small-sized bean it has no superior. It is of fine 
flavor and very attractive when served on the table. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 30 cts. 
IMFBOVEB UABa-E BUSH IiIMA. This is one of the greatest of modern vegetable intro- 
ductions, and we have secured for our customers some seed of it direct from the intro- 
ducer. This bean produces magnificent crops of pods, which measure from 6 to 6 inches 
long by 1^ inches wide. As compared with the original Burpee Bush Lima, both pods 
and beans are very much larger, while the beans, either green or dry, are nearly twice 
as thick. The beans have the same luscious flavor as the best flavored Limas, and are 
ready to use 6 to 8 days earlier. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 40 cts.; qt. 80 cts. 
BEETS 
1 oz. to 50 ft. drill. 
Culture of Beets. Our best seed are grown from selected transplanted roots and have 
given truckers and market gardeners, who appreciate a high standard of perfection, the 
utmost satisfaction. The soil best suited for beet culture is that which is rather light and 
well enriched. Sow in drills 1 foot apart and 1 inch deep, as early as the ground can be 
worked. When the plants are large enough, thin out to stand 6 inches apart in rows; 
continue sowing for a succession as late as the middle of August. Keep well cultivated. 
SUPERB. Has tal<A»^ the lead among early turnip shaped Beets entirely by superior merit ot 
everything pertaining to a Beet to make a recognized leader. It 
is very early, indeed: it is 8 to 10 days ahead of any other early 
sort now offered. The shape is uniformly perfect, being entirely 
free from fibrous side roots, which are so objectionable; 
in fact, it is the smoothest Beet within our knowledge. 
The flesh is a rich, dark blood-red, tender, 
crisp, and deliciously sweet. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts. 
EXTRA EAREY ECEIFSE. It is 
valuable for home gardens and 
indispensable for market gar- 
dens. It was introduced as a 
selection or hybrid from the 
famous Egyptian. It is remark- 
able for its very rapid growth, 
the perfection of its form, which 
is globular, its beautiful crim- 
son flesh, and for its dwarf foli- 
age. The roots are of a bright, 
glossy red, very fine grained. 
Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts. 
CROSBY EXTRA EAREY (Amer- 
lean Orown). A very superior 
strain of blood - red Egyptian, 
carefully selected for years by 
Mr. Crosby, a noted market gar- 
dener, whose aim was to secure 
a perfect forcing variety. The 
results obtained were handsome 
form, good size, few small tops, 
very small tap root, fine quality, and, above all, 
quick, rapid growth. The shape is very desirable, 
not quite so flat as the ordinary Egyptian nor so 
round as the Eclipse. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts. 
EDMUND’S BEOOD TURNIP. The flesh is deep blood- 
red in color and exceedingly sweet and tender in 
quality. It is round and smooth in shape and of 
good market size. It does not grow over-large, 
where room is permitted, as many kinds are apt to 
do. It has a small top. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts. 
DETROIT DARK RED TURNIP. One of the best deep 
red Turnip Beats for market gardeners or home use. 
Its small, upright-growing tops, early maturing, and 
fine globular shape and color of the roots make it 
very popular with every one who plants it. Pkt. 5 
and 10 cts.; oz. 15 cts.
