BEAN S—Continued 
Pole Beans 
Giant French Wax. A recent introduction from Finance. 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 cUl 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 
pi'oduction 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 favorite with market 
gardeners in this section. Our seed is 
fresh and will satisfy. 
Detroit Dark Red. 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 de¬ 
mands of the canner for a smooth, perfectly formed beet with deep 
colored flesh. It is the result of the inbreeding of many generations 
of bee>s by the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station. The tops are 
smalf 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 
Golden Tankard. A big cropper of long, round shape,’ skin 
golden yellow. Claimed to contain more sugar and richness 
than any other. Yz oz., 5c; 1 oz., 10c; Y* lb.* 20c; 1 lb., 60c. 
Mammoth Long Red. Grows to an immense size in good soil, has yield of 1400 to 
2000 bushels per acre. Every farmer should grow % acre of these for his hogs, 
chickens, cows or any stock. This is our largest seller and always satisfies. Yz oz., 
5c; 1 oz., 10c; Y± 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. 
Klein Wanzleben. The most cultivated and probably the best heavy yielder. Yz oz., 5c; 1 oz., 
10c; Yi lb., 15c; 1 lb., 50c.

Carpinteria. A new early variety, which bears

color even after being dried. We would say 
this sort is one of the very best. Yi lb., 10c; 
Yz lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.50. 
King 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

moth size. Yt lb., 10c; Yz lb., 20c; 1 lb., 30c;
