BUSH LIMA 
BEANS (Continued) 
DWARF OR BUSH, GREEN POD VARIETIES 
BURPEES STRINGLESS GREEN POD BEANS—Earliest of all 
green-podded bush beans. The only absolutely stringless green-poded 
bean on the market. The pod is round, full and larger and straighter 
than that of the Red Valentine. In quality it is superior to most other 
bush beans. Rust proof in all localities as any can be. Vigorous grow¬ 
ing; hardy and productive. Exceedingly crisp and tender, and no ap¬ 
proach to stringness. Sure cropper; pods long and of delicious flavor. 
Cultivation should be frequent until the plants begin to bloom, 
but only when the foliage is dry, for if disturbed when wet the vines 
will rust. 
EARLY YELLOW SIX WEEKS—An early snap-short variety, pro¬ 
ducing edible pods thirty days after germination. Very bushy, erect. 
Pods long, flat, strait. 
IMPROVED EARLY RED VALENTINE—Is ten days earlier than 
any other stock of Valentine beans offered. In addition to this, it is 
more productive, grows a stronger and more thrifty vine,yields larger 
and better filled pods than does any other strain of this variety. A 
single trial cannot but convince the most skeptical that it is all we 
claim. Prices on above varieties: Pkt. 10c; y 2 lb., 15c; 1 lb., 30c; 
3 lbs., 80c; Postpaid. Not postpaid 10 lbs., $2.00; 100 lbs., $17.00. 
BROAD WINDSOR—(English Dwarf or Broad)—This is entirely 
different from the common French bean. The large coarse pods are 
borne on stout plants which are coarser, more erect and less branched 
than those of the French bean. It is largely used in Europe. Seed 
large or flat unsymetrical shape; light brown color. Very hardy. 
Pkt., 10c, V 2 lb., 20c, 1 lb., 35c. Not postpaid. 
POLE OR CLIMBING 
LAZY WIFE—Immensely popular everywhere. It is exceed¬ 
ingly productive and easily gathered. Probably this is why it comes by 
its discourteous name. It is an excellent bean. 
KENTUCKY WONDER BEANS 
BUSH LIMA (Comes absolutely true from 
seed)—The bushes grow eighteen to twenty 
inches high, of stout growth and always erect. 
It is an immense yielder, the handsome large 
pods being well filled with very large beans, 
identical in size and lucious flavor with the 
well known Pole Limas. 
Any of above varieties, except Broad Wind¬ 
sor and Scarlet Runner, 1 lb., 25c, 10 lbs., $2.25, 
100 lbs., $20.00. Not postpaid. 
KENTUCKY WONDER—Vine vigorous, climbing well 
and very productive bearing its pods in large clusters; 
blossoms white; pods green, very long, often reaching nine 
or ten inches, nearly round when young and very crisp. 
Prices on above varieties: Pkt., 10c; y 2 lb., 15c; 1 lb., 30c 
3 lbs., 80c; Postpaid. Not postpaid, 10 lbs., $2.00; 100 lbs., 
$17.00. 
BROCCOLI 
CULTURE—Sow early sorts as soon as the ground can be worked in the spring, in shallow drills, 
drawn three of four inches apart. Plant out two feet apart each way when the plants are about four 
inches high. Cultivate the same as cabbage, in rich soil. Use the same remedy for insect attacks as 
are recommended for cabbage. They are excellent and deserves much wider culture than is usual in 
this country. 
Nearly allied to the Cauliflower, but more hardier. It succeeds best in a moist and rather cold 
atmosphere. 
LARGE WHITE MAMMOTH—A valuable variety, with very large, firm heads. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; Y* h>., 75c.
