BEAN S—Continued 
Pole Beans 
Pole Limas 
Carpinteria. A new early variety, which bears abundantly, with 3 to 5 large, meaty 
beans to the pod. These are of rarest flavor and quality, retaining their distinguish¬ 
ing green color even after being dried. We would say this sort is one of the very 
best. ^ lb., 10c; ^4 !!>•» 20c; 1 lb., 30c. 
King* of the Garden Iiima. The old standard market and family sort. The vine 
begins to produce pods at the foot of the pole, and the bearing season continues 
until frost. Pods are large and well filled with beans of mammoth size. % lb.,

There were a great many beans planted last season, but the early frost 
caught the large planters’ beans when they were not ripe, consequently there 
is a shortage in the bean crop and high prices ; in fact, it does not make any 
difference how big a crop is raised. The prices will be high for a number of 
years.

Beets 
Giant French Wax, A recent introduction from France. This wax bean has proved 
in the United States to be all there is claimed for it. Giant in production of largie 
pods, 8 inches long, of a beautiful transparent golden color. Will grow 8 ft. high and 
are simply loaded down with immense loads of pods filled with a large quantity of 
fine beans. A basket filler of pods or shelled beans. We believe this bean will be 
planted more than all others as soon as better known. Demands good soil. 
Kentucky Wonder. This is surely stringless, pod 7 inches long, full of large, fine 
beans. Good dry or green, if gathered will continue to set a large crop until frost. 
Should be in everyone’s garden. 
Iiazy Wife. This bean is surely a wonder in production and lasting qualities, gives 
general satisfaction. Everyone who saw this bean last year was immensely pleased 
and there is sure to be a good trade on this bean.

Prices on all beets: y^ oz., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; 44 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 65c. 
Allen’s Select. Several years ago we noticed in a bed of Crosby’s Egyptian, 
a beet that grew faster and larger, and matured earlier than the rest. 
After carefully testing and saving the seed, we became convinced that this 
beet is not only of commercial value, but deserves trial by all lovers of 
beets. It is globular in shape, dark red color, fine flavored and a good 
keeper. Ripens early, excellent for greens. We can spare only a limited 
quantity of this seed. 
Crimson Globe. From England and still one of the best globe-shaped beets. 
Can be marketed early. 
Crosby’s Egyptian Improved. A 
quick grower, best quality, good 
for forcing in- or out-of-doors.

Sugar Beets 
Our Sugar Beet Seed is grown by an expert in the heart of the sugar 
beet district of Michigan and we feel that no one can place a finer or 
fresher article, for near this price, on the market. He grows b^ts for 
the sugar factory himself and knows the necessity of good, pure seed.

yielder. % oz., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; Vi lb., 15c; 1 lb., 50c.
