McCrea’s Bush Lima Beans 
The latest addition to the large seeded bush lima family, and a worthy one. 
It has a sweet flavor not found in any other bush lima, so much so that the dry 
beans are wrinkled like a sugar pea. The plants are strong and upright with 
an abundance of healthy foliage, and bears its pods equally abundantly. Each 
pod contains from 3 to 5 large, plump beans that are so tightly packed in the 
pod that the pressure flattens the ends of the beans. It has the further advan¬ 
tage that it will stand cold and wet weather in the spring, and extreme sum¬ 
mer heat better than other large seeded limas. We recommend it for the home 
garden and for market; for canning it is distinctly superior. Bv mail post¬ 
paid, pkt. 15c; lb. 25c; lb. 45c; 2 lbs. 75c; 5 lbs. $1.65; 10 lbs. $3.10.

Golden Cross Bantam Corn 
Modern scientific breeding methods of breeding hybrid corns have made 
possible this outstanding superior variety. The ears and the plant are consid¬ 
erably larger than Golden Bantam, the ears usually being 12 to 14 rowed. The 
outstanding features of hybrid corns are uniformly well filled ears on every 
stalk, often two ears; even size and shape; a much greater yield, and freedom 
from diseases. Golden Cross Bantam is the foremost of all the hybrid sweet 
corns so far developed. It has superlative quality and delicious sweetness.

Wood’s Scarlet Intermediate Carrot 
The CARROT THAT SHOULD BE IN EVERY GARDEN. The finest carrot 
for all purposes. Not as early as Chantenay, being classed as medium early* 
but makes the size and type of root generally in demand; smooth and hand¬ 
some, 6 to 7 inches long, 1 V*» inches thick, holding its thickness to the small 
tap-root, and has that rich, bright orange colored flesh so much preferred. 
Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.00; 2-lb. lots 90c per lb.; 5-lb. lots 75c 
per lb.; 10-lb. lots 65c per lb., postpaid. 
This represents a lot of intense work in plant breeding. Starting with the 
foundation stock supplied by the United States Department of Agriculture, 
constant work and selection have improved it to such a point of perfection 
that it complies in every way to the stringent requirements necessary for cer¬ 
tification. We have selected for fruits of greater depth, greater interior 
solidity, rich, deep scarlet color and increased production, but more particu¬ 
larly for resistance to fusarium wilt and nail-head rust. The fruits are uni¬ 
formly globe shaped, smooth, solid and of distinctive quality. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 35c; V 4 lb. $1.15; lb. $4.00; 2-lb. lots $3.80 per lb.; 5-lb. lots $3.55 per lb.;

Wood’s Southern Sweet Corn 
A true sugar corn combining tender, rich delicious flavor with 
heavy yield, long protecting shuck and resistance to droughts, 
hurricanes and other adverse Southern conditions. 
Roasting ears in 80 days. Two large ears to the stalk; 8 feet tall; stout, 
vigorous stalk. Strong, deep root system. Few Southerners enjoy the delicious 
sweetness of true sugar corn because most varieties originated in the Nortlt 
and make poor yields in the South. R. S. V. Nave, King George Co., Va., 
says: “The quality, sweetness and flavor of Wood’s Southern Sweet Corn sur¬ 
passes any sugar corn my family and I ever tasted. Planted May 1st, it had 
roasting ears June 20th, as early as any sweet com, and continued to bear 
until frost. The ears stay in roasting ear stage two weeks before hardening. 
The ears are longer and grain deeper than any other sweet corn. A man has 
a mouth full when he bites into one. The tight, thick shuck extends two inches 
beyond the end of the ear, protecting it from worms. A flock of blackbirds 
were unable to penetrate its heavy shuck and destroyed some field com nearby. 
Everyone says it is the best sweet corn variety.” By mail postpaid, pkt. 10c;

Dixie Queen Watermelon 
To attain to the popularity that Dixie Queen has achieved, a melon must be 
extra good. It is not the biggest of melons—they sometimes grow to 60 lbs., 
but the average is 35 to 40 lbs.—but the quality is such that it has created 
quite a sensation in the markets and the demand has been constant. The 
sparkling, crisp, rich scarlet flesh is firm, sweet and juicy right up to the rind, 
which is thin but tough. It is a splendid shipper, but has been described as 
“unbeatable for the home garden. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; y 4 lb. 40c; lb. $1.25; 
2-lb. lots $1.15 per lb.; 5-lb. lots $1.00 per lb.; 10-lb. lots 90c per lb., postpaid.
