POLE BEANS 
TABLE BEETS 
34 lb. will sow 100 ft. in hills 
. 72 davs, 84 seeds per oz. Fecause of unusual qualitv 
OCU Lid . we ra i se this variety for our own use and feel that, if 
it were better known, it would replace Green Podded Kentucky 
Wonder for home use and market trade where quality counts. 
A few hills along a fence or with some other support will produce 
enough, if kept picked, for the average family. The pod is 634 to 7 
inches long, green, round and very fleshy. Scotia is ready about the 
time that the bush varieties are gone. Pkt. $.10; J4 lb. $.20; lb. 
$.35; 15 lbs. $3.45; 100 lbs. $19.00. 
Kentucky Wonder Wax: ®f. da Smos e t ed popu- 
lar yellow podded pole variety. The plant is very vigorous and 
productive, the quality however is only fair and the pods are rather 
stringy. Pods are 7 to 8 inches long, flat and waxy yellow. Pkt. 
$.10; 34 lb. $.18; 1 lb. $.30; 15 lbs. $2.70; 100 lbs. $14.25. 
LIMA BEANS 
Henderson Bush: 
68 days, 90 seeds per oz. For 
home garden. Each year garden¬ 
ers tell us that under their conditions it seems impossible to produce 
a satisfactory crop of lima beans of large seeded varieties. This 
seems to be due to the blasting of the blossoms in hot dry weather. 
Henderson is a bush variety, earlier than the larger sorts and blos¬ 
soms profusely over a much longer season. In spite of some blasting 
usually a good crop is set. Pods 3 to 3 34 inches long containing 3 to 
4 small beans of excellent quality. If you have had trouble with 
lima beans, we suggest you try this variety. Pkt. $.10; 34 lb. $.18; 
lb. $.30; 15 lbs. $2.50; 100 lb's. $13.25.

pressions between beans. The pods are 334 to 4 inches long. Seeds

and canners. Roots are globular or nearly round, very dark, in¬

zones are so inconspicuous that the beet seems to be one solid color.

PmcKu TT crtrrk + i ct n • 60 days. There is some con- 
dOo liy J2/gyj)LldIl. fusion as to what the correct 
type for this variety should be. We have held that the shape of the 
beet should be flattened, globe in shape, with small tap root. Ex¬ 
terior color of the root purple red. Flesh bright crimson red, zoned 
with a lighter shade. This beet is of fine quality and used extensive¬ 
ly for “bunch beets.” Many growers feel that the flattened shape 
makes the beet more attractive in the bunch when young. Pkt.

★ Giant Half Sugar Rose: ^uleSfat&fs 
that we can give this variety is that we sell twice as much seed as 
we do of the other three varieties put together. Desirable for stock 
and poultry feeding, affording not only a very large crop but also 
having higher nutritive value, being especially rich in sugar. The 
roots are rose colored above ground, white below, with white flesh. 
On account of growing partly out of the ground and the long ovoid 
shape the crop can be harvested easily and at less expense than any 
other root crop. Pkt. $.05; oz. $.08; 34 lb- $-15; lb. $.45. 
Danish Yellow Giant: 
color, not as long as Long Red, but larger around, and are 
smooth and handsome, having small tops and very few side roots. 
They grow over two-thirds above the ground, so can be harvested 
with little trouble. Pkt. $.05; oz. $.08; 34 lb. $.15; lb. $.45.

ovoid, but with bottom usually of larger diameter than top, light 
gray above ground, deep orange below. The flesh is yellow, zoned 
with white. Pkt. $.05; oz. $.08; 34 lb- $.15; lb. $.45.

nwhfl 11 • (Seed hot water treated.) This is the standard 
OllU W UcLll . variety for the Northeastern States. We have 
sold this mid-season strain for several years under the name of 
“Finger Lakes Snowball.” In our trial grounds we have had very 
few plants that did not produce a marketable head. This is also 
true of the fields we have inspected where our seed was used. Our 
Mid-season Snowball not only produces a large compact, white 
head but makes a very strong leaf growth. Pkt. $.15; J4 oz. $.60; 
oz. $1.90; 34 lb. $6.25; lb. $22.00. 
We pay transportation on all above seeds except beans and on them in lots of 75 lbs. or less.
