General Collection of Vegetable Seeds. 
In the following list will be found a collection of the best standard 
varieties of Vegetable Seeds. We have endeavored to list, not as many as 
we could, but only the best and most distinct. Many catalogues contain a 
long list of varieties that are so similar that it would take an expert to dis- 
tinguish them. The .varieties listed here are only those that we know are not 
only first class, but well adapted to our short seasons. Our prices are low 
considering quality; we do not handle cheap seed at any price. If you want 
cheap seeds, apply to your Representative in Congress, who will supply you 
free, with about as cheap (considering quality) seeds as it is possible to pro- 
cure anywhere. The best seeds are the cheapest in the end, as more than 90% 
of the cost growing a crop is in land and labor, and it costs no more to grow 
a good crop than a poor one. We have for many years supplied many of the 
market gardeners in this section of the State with large quantities of seeds 
and our constantly increasing trade in this line is the best evidence of the 
quality of our seeds. 
Special Prices will be quoted on application, to large planters and mar- 
ket gardeners using large quantities of seeds. 
Free by Mail. All seeds in packets, 
and quarter pounds are sent post- 
age paid. Postage will be charged 
at the rate of 8 cents per pound on

variety. Peas and Beans at the rate

largest size, good quality and very 
productive.

A new variety, producing large 
white stalks of the finest quality.

Asparagus — Conover’s Colossal. 
BEANS. 
Improved Golden Wax. Probably the most popular variety of Dwarf Bush 
Wax Beans, and although introduced in 1876 is undoubtedly superior to 
any variety in its class today. It is practically rust proof, very early 
and productive, with long broad fleshy pods of a rich golden yellow 
color, cooking quickly as a snap bean or equally good as a shell bean.
