VEGETABLE SEED NOVELTIES 
Detroit Dark Red Beet 
The best deep red turnip Beet, not only for market gardeners, 
but for home use. The splendid shape and color of the root make 
it popular with every one who plants it. Top small, upright grow¬ 
ing, so that the rows may be close together ; leaf-stem and veins 
dark red ; root globular and very smooth ; color of skin dark blood 
red ; flesh deep vermilion-red, zoned with a darker shade, very 
crisp, tender and sweet and remaining so for a long time. We be¬ 
lieve that the stock of this variety which we offer will produce a crop 
more uniform in shape, color and quality than any other Beet seed 
obtainable. Oz. io cts., #lb. 25 cts., lb. 85 cts. 
Fordhook Bush Lima Bean 
The only stiffly ere't bush form of the Potato Lima. Both pods and beans 
are twice the size of the Kumerle or Dreer’s Bush Lima 
Fordhook Bush 1 ima is altogether unique, and has a stiffly erect 
habit, branching freely, but with all the branches held upright. It 
has an ideal bush growth, which is strikingly different from the low 
spreading growth of the Bush Lima. It has foliage like that of the 
Large Pole Lima. Fordhook Bush Lima bears tremendous crops; 
the beans are ready for use fully three weeks earlier than any other 
of the pole Lima varieties. The plump, well-filled pods measuring 
4 to 5 inches in length, contain four to five large beans. The green 
beans, even of full si/e, are tender, juicy 
and sweet when cooked, resembling the 
flavor of the finer varieties of the large 
flat Lima. A profitable variety. Qt. 
50 cts., tfpk. #i.75« 
Michigan White Wax Bean 
A white-seeded Golden Wax Bean, of 
superior quality, attractive appearance 
and great productiveness. The plant 
grows larger and has heavier foliage than 
the Golden Wax, and produces an abun¬ 
dant crop of large, meaty pods, which are 
of a bright golden yellow color, exceed¬ 
ingly attractive and very uniform in color 
and shape. The quality is excellent, and 
because of the seed being white the pods show no discoloration when cooked and ready to be served 
at the table, also a fine Bean when dried and used for soup and baking. Pkt. 10c., qt. 60c., pk. $4. 
Copenhagen Market Cabbage 
The heads average about ten pounds in weight, very solid, with small core and of fine quality. It 
matures as early as Charleston Wakefield and will give a much heavier yield per acre than that popu¬ 
lar variety. The plant is short-stemmed, the leaves are light green and tightly folded. It is undoubtedly 
without a rival as the finest round-headed early Cabbage in cultivation. Oz. 30c., J4lb. $i, lb. $3.50. 
Truckers" Pride Cabbage 
This second-early or autumn variety is very sure-heading and of finest quality. The heads are medium 
to good size, round, exceptionally solid, and will stand shipment as well as any other sort. This strain 
produces the characteristic large, round heads which make it so valuable. • Excellent for winter use. 
Oz. 30 cts., *41b. $ 1, lb. $3.50. 
Dry-Weather Cauliflower 
During some seasons, especially like the past year, after a very late spring, hot weather comes on 
very quickly ; in such a year this variety has proved itself of exceptional merit. Also in warm parts of 
the country where there is not much cool weather, it is a most desirable sort. Very sure-heading and. 
second early. Heads larger than Snowball, and snow-white. Where a large acreage is planted, there 
should be at least a portion of it in this variety. Pkt. 25 cts., oz. I2.50, %\b. {8.50. 
New Magnificent Celery 
This splendid variety is becoming very popular and is one of the most desirable of the green sorts ; 
very solid, brittle and of delicious flavor, and when properly grown does not become hollow, and we 
feel that we can recommend it highly for a late fall and winter crop. Of medium height, strong and 
robust growth. Very full-hearted, and when bleached it is of a rich golden yellow color. It is a re¬ 
markably good keeper for late winter and spring use after the other sorts are gone. Pkt. 10 cts., 
oz. 50 cts., ]4\b. $1.50.
