LIMA WAX BEAN. 
Market gardeners and others who prefer a white-seeded wax bean will find the Lima Wax 
superior in many ways to the old-fashioned but yet popular white wax variety. 
It is branching and vigorous, with an immense amount of foliage; pods are borne in greatest 
profusion, a single plant often having 60 or more. When in bloom, the plant is completely 
covered with flower spikes, and as the pods form in clusters they sink beneath the dense foliage, 
which shields them from light showers, heavy dews, and hot sun, and prevents their rusting 
or becoming soiled. I he pods are the broadest of all wax bush beans, color transparent, glossy 
lemon wax, which they retain for a long time after being picked. This bean is very productive, 
handsome color, delicious flavor, and being white seeded makes an excellent dry bean for 
baking. Pkt. io cts.; pt. 25 cts.; qt. 50 cts. 
DAVIS’ KIDNEY WAX BEAN. 
A new white-seeded variety of the Kidney Wax that is sure to be a general favorite when 
known. It is early, and has all the requirements as to quality, shape, size, productiveness, 
ripening well to the tip, hardiness, etc., that go to make up the perfect bean either for the pri¬ 
vate or market grower. Pkt. 10 cts.; pt. 15 cts.; qt. 25 cts. 
BRECK’S BEATS-ALL BEET. 
"1 his new Beet is without exception the very best 
variety known to us and is sure to find favor with both 
market and private growers. It is extra early, of good 
size, fine form, very smooth, deep blood-red flesh and ex¬ 
cellent flavor. The tops are very small, thus allowing 
it to be grown in rows close together. We recommend it 
with the fullest confidence for early and main crop alike. 
Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; lb., 75 cts. 
COLUMBIA BEET. 
1 his desirable Beet was introduced some three years 
ago. The claims then made for it were many, but lime 
has demonstrated they were all merited. The roots are 
of a neat turnip shape, with smooth skin and deep blood- 
red flesh, of rich tender quality. It is as early as the Beats-Aii Beet. 
Egyptian and does not become coarse and stringy as does that variety when of large size. Com¬ 
pared with such sorts as Edmands ’ and Eclipse , the Columbia has proved earlier than either 
and even better in quality than these two really first-class varieties. It is of neat growth with 
rich bronze-color foliage. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 10 cts.; lb., 60 cts. 
CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN BEET. 
\\ herever this variety has been grown it is a favorite. It is a selection made by the 
late Josiah Crosby of Arlington, from the original Egyptian, but while it retains the extra early 
habit of that sort it is in every way superior to it, being of better form, color, quality and 
appearance. Pkt., 5 cts. ; oz., 10 cts.; lb., 60 cts. 
BOSTON MARKET CELERY. 
I here are so many types of celery sold under 
the name of “ Boston Market ” that growers of it 
are surprised if by any chance a plant of the true form is found 
among their crops. The strain we offer is Arlington grown and 
genuine. It is, everything considered, the.most desirable late crop 
celery grown and those who know and like the true Boston Market 
quality can sow this seed with full assurance of getting a crop that 
will please them in all particulars. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 40 cts.; W lb., 
#1-25. 
ROSE-RIBBED, SELF-BLANCHING 
CELERY. 
A sport of the Paris, Golden, Self-Blanching, of which it pos¬ 
sesses all the good qualities for which the latter has become world- 
famed. It has its beautiful golden-yellow color, and differs from it 
only by the color of the ribs, a pretty shade of rose which deepens as 
the season advances. This feature gives the plant a pleasing appear¬ 
ance and enhances its value for both table and market. Pkt., 10 cts.; 
oz., 40 cts.
