Lima, with large Beans and pods and more productive

Shell Bean. 
Field Beans 
We carry a selected stock of White Kidney, Red Kidney, and 
Yellow-eye Field Beans at prevailing market prices. 
The Best Garden Beets 
Deep rich, sandy loam is best for Beets. For early crop sow 
in hotbeds, and transplant to open ground as soon as it is 
warm enough. For main crop, sow outside in drills 18 inches 
apart, and cover lightly. Sow in July for winter crops. 
One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 6 pounds, an acre 
Asgrow Wonder. New. This is, undoubtedly, the finest Beet 
on the market. It is early, of uniform size, with smooth, 
deep red roots having small necks and tap-roots. 
Crosby’s Egyptian. 50 days. Smooth, dark red, turnip¬ 
shaped Beet which matures early. The flesh is blood-red, 
tender, and sweet. A widely grown variety. 
Detroit Dark Red. 52 days. Splendid shape and color; very 
crisp, tender, and sweet. 
Early Wonder. 48 days. New, distinct, extra-early, turnip- 
rooted variety of finest table qualities. Flesh is solid, crisp, 
and sweet. 
Eclipse. 50 days. Globe-shaped; deep red, with sweet, fine¬ 
grained flesh; remains tender a long time. 
Good for All. An excellent new variety, especially for canning. 
Collar and tap-roots very small. Dark red roots. 
SWISS CHARD. 60 days. Grown for its tender, succulent 
tops; prepared like spinach. 
Field Beets 
One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 5 pounds, an acre 
Mangel-Wurzel, Golden Tankard. 90 days. A most im¬ 
portant addition to our roots for feeding stock. Flesh a 
deep, rich yellow, very sweet and nutritious. In shape a 
little shorter than Norbiton Giant, but thicker. A very 
heavy cropper. 
Mangel-Wurzel, Norbiton Giant. A long red variety, 
preferred by many to common Long Red, as it is considered 
of better keeping quality; good for deep soils. 
White French Sugar. 80 days. Much grown in Europe for 
sugar-making; very sweet and keeps well; much relished by 
stock. The Beets are very large and the yield per acre is 
heavy, making it one of the most profitable sorts to grow.
