W. F. ALLEN’S PLANT AND SEED CATALOGUE. 
H E N D E R= 
SON’S BUSH 
Lin A. —This is 
a small dwarf 
Lima that gives 
you the first 
beans of the 
season;the qual¬ 
ity is very good, 
though not the 
best; in produc- 
tiveness. I 
doubt if it has 
an epual; it 
commences to 
bear teu days 
ahead of any 
other variety that I know and remains full until killed 
by frost. Pkt. 10c; pt. 25c; qt. 45c; postpaid. By express, 
4 qts. $1.00; peck $1.50. 
DREER’S BUSH LIHA, OR POTATO BEAN.-This is 
a great market variety. The gardeners around this sec¬ 
tion for several years have been planting largely of 
this variety to ship green to the New York market, and 
for the first of the crop often receive as much as $4.00 
per half barrel basket. This is a bean of rather pe¬ 
culiar shape, being thick and plump rather than flat 
and oval; it is a very meaty bean, of excellent flavor and 
high table quality; the vine has the Lima habit of 
growth and it is very productive of pods always well 
filled; when green they nearly equal the ordinary large 
Lima bean in size, but are thicker, sweeter, and *- 
tender; they remain green m the pod a long time after 
maturing; the beans are easily shelled and are in wide 
favor; the pods are crammed so full that a basket of, 
green pods will shell half the quantity of shelled beans. 
Pkt. 10c; pt. 30c; qt. 50c., postpaid. By express or freight, 
pk., $1.75; half bu. $3.40: bu. $6.50. 
BURPEE’S STRINGLESS GREEN POD.—Positively 
stringless; ripens earlier than Valentine and remains 
crisp and tender a long time after maturing; pods are 
pale green, long and straight, perfectly round and 
meaty. This is an excellent variety that will give satis¬ 
faction every time. Pkt. 10c; pt. 30c; qt. 50c., postpaid. 
By express, 4 qts. $1.00; peck $1.75. 
EARLY MOHAWK.—This variety can be planted 
very early. It produces large strong vines which bear 
profusely; it is the hardiest of the early varieties and is 
a well known green podded sort of established merit. 
Pkt. 10c; pt. 25c; qt. 40c. postpaid. By express, $1.50per pk. 
IMPROVED GOLDEN WAX.—Pods rather flat, about 
four inches ih length and one half inch broad: of light 
clean yellow, quite brittle with only slight strings when 
young; plants stiffly erect, bearing large crop of fine 
pods held well above the soil. Pkt. 10c; pt; 30c; qt. 50c., 
postpaid. By express, 4 qts. $1.00; peck $1.75. 
CURRIE’S RUST PROOF WAX.—There has been 
much attention given to the improvement of the old 
fashioned wax bean, and this variety seems to be one of 
the best; it is absolutely rust proof: pods great long, 
flat, and tender and of the finest quality; it is early, 
productive, and a good all around bean. Pkt. 10c; pt. 
30c; qt 50c., postpaid. By express, 4 qts. $1.00; peck $1.75. 
CAULIFLOWER. 
ALLEN’S DWARF FIRST EARLY.—The type cauli¬ 
flower most generally planted for market is Allen’s 
Dwarf First Early, of which there has been developed a 
number of selections showing increased earliness, dwarf 
short stem growth, with larger finer heads and sure 
heading tendency; we think our strain of this is un¬ 
doubtedly the best. This seed was grown forme in Den¬ 
mark where all the finest, best cauliflower seed are pro¬ 
duced. I could get cauliflower seed grown On the Pa¬ 
cific Coast that I could sell for less than half, but feel 
that it is to my interest to offer only the very best, and 
consequently we are offering no cauliflower seed except 
the best Danish grown. This strain has given splendid 
results wherever tried, and I can conscientiously recom-
