Pole Beans 
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 large 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 gen¬ 
eral satisfaction. Everyone who saw this 
bean last year was immensely pleased and 
there is sure to be a good trade on this bean.

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 mar¬ 
keted early. 
Crosby’s Egyptian Improved. A quick 
grower, best quality, good for forcing in- or 
out-of-doors. Roundish, well colored, a fa¬ 
vorite with market gardeners in this section. 
Our seed is fresh and will satisfy. 
Detroit Dark Bed. Small tops, can be placed 
closer than some. Very sweet, fine for table use. 
Eclipse. Early and smooth, roundish, good quality. Can’t 
be beat. 
Ohio Canner. This beet has been developed to meet the 
exacting demands of the canner for a smooth, perfectly 
formed beet with deep colored flesh. It is the result of the inbreeding 
of many generations of beets by the Ohio Agricultural Experiment 
Station. The tops are small and dark colored. The roots are uniformly 
round in shape with a small tap root. Flesh is intense deep blood-red 
without any trace of light zones. The smooth symmetrical form and 
superior color are combined to make this the most perfect canning 
and pickling beet yet developed. Commercial growers will find here a 
splendid paying sort for shipping to markets demanding beets of 
superior quality. It is also a splendid variety for the home garden 
because of the fine table quality. 
Mangel Wurzel 
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 distinguishing green 
color even after being dried. We would say 
this sort is one of the very best. *4 lb.. 10c; 
y 2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.50. 
Kingf of the Garden Lima. 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 mam¬ 
moth size. 44 lb., 10c; *4 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 
10 lbs., $2.50. 
Bush Limas 
Burpee’s Improved Bush Lima. This is a 
good early one. Pods 5 to 6 inches long and 
full of beans of finest quality. 44 lb., 10c; 
1/2 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.50; 100 lbs., 
$ 20 . 00 . 
Fordhook Bush Iiima. An ideal bushy growth 
with upright stem and branches. Enormous 
bearer of thick meaty beans of excellent 
quality. Early and the most productive of 
the Limas. 44 lb., 10c; 44 lb., 16c; 1 lb., 30c;

golden yellow. Claimed to contain more sugar and richness 
than any other. 44 oz., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; 44 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 60c. 
Mammoth lions' Bed. Grows to an immense size in good soil, has yield of 1400 to 
2000 bushels per acre. Every farmer should grow 44 acre of these for his hogs, 
chickens, cows or any stock. This is our largest seller and always satisfies. 44 oz., 
5c; 1 oz., 10c; 44 lb., 20c; 1 lb., 60c; 5 lbs., $2.50. 
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 beets for the sugar factory himself and knows the necessity of good, pure seed.

10c; 44 lb., 15c; 1 lb., 50c.
