This new Pole Lima Bean, now offered for sale 
for the first time, was developed after many years’ 
careful selection by Mr. Frank Sluvllcross, a noted 
Philadelphia market gardener and Lima Bean 
grower. While not the earliest, it is, without ques¬ 
tion, the most prolific of all, bearing its handsome 
pods in immense clusters as shown in photograph 
below. The green beans, in size, beauty and qual¬ 
ity, are unequalled. Pkt., 15c.; pint, 35c.; qt., 65c., 
postpaid ; qt., 50c.; 4qts., $1.75 ; peck, $3.00, by 
express or freight. 
Crosby’s improved Egyptian Sleet 
KIIAI.I.CItOSS MARKET QU1CKN LIMA 11 KAN. 
Crosby’s Egyptian has grown in favor so 
rapidly that for the past two seasons we were sold 
out of the seed before the season was half over. It is 
a very superior strain of the well-known Egyptian, 
carefully selected for years by Mr. Josiah Crosby, 
a noted' Eastern market gardener. .The results 
obtained were handsome form, good size, few small 
tops, tine quality, deep blood color, and above all, 
quick, rapid growth. Takes on its turnip shape 
and looks well even in the early stages of growth. 
It does not become woody and tasteless, like the 
old Egyptian,when allowed to stand a little too long, 
and may be sown outside as late as July. Pkt., 5c.; 
oz., 10c.; } lb., 25c.; lb., 75e., postpaid ; 5 lbs. and 
over, GOc. per lb., by express. 
Slew 5ven eh Sfiarliet Carrot 
After two seasons’ test at Floracroft Trial 
Grounds, we were so thoroughly convinced of 
the superior qualities of this new French car¬ 
rot that wo last season imported from Paris 
some of the seed, and ottered it for sale for 
the first time in America. It has given pro¬ 
nounced satisfaction in all sections of the 
country, and we have received hundreds 
of unsolicited testimonials from gardeners, 
many of whom say I hey will hereafter 
plant the French' Market and Rubi¬ 
con to the exclusion of all others. The 
form, as shown in photograph, is hand¬ 
somer than the Danvers, and its better 
color makes it much more attractive. 
It is also entirely free from core, 
the flesh being tender and sweet 
throughout, and a wonderful heavy 
cropper. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 20c.; \ lb., 
50c.; lb., $1.75.
