F. B. MILLS’ ILLUSTRATED 1890 
PRINCE OF WALES PEAS. 
PRINCE OF WALES PEAS. 
Two years ago I procured a small sample of Peas from 
England, which was called “Prince of Wales,” and have 
carefully grown them on my grounds and find them of 
superior quality in every respect. They are far ahead of 
the American variety which is called “Prince of Wales.” 
They are immensely productive, outyielding all other varie¬ 
ties of early peas, with the exception of “Mills’ Improved 
American Wonder.” Prince of Wales produces more pods 
to the vine, (more bushels of pods to a given area) and 
more shelled peas to a bushel of pods than any other variety 
of early peas. The engraving well represents a single vine. 
1 It grows 2 to 3 feet in height, and is of the most remarkable 
branching character. I am so well pleased with this new 
pea that I am offering it as one of my grand novelties for 
1890. The peas are of a beautiful golden color and were 
greatly admired by all who saw them last season at my 
grounds. They are very early and worthy of a place in 
every family garden. Try them this year. Price of true 
seed per pkt., 15 cts.; 3 pkts., 40 cts., or 10 pkts. for $1.00, 
postpaid. 
onEPTllT ADEPT) For $1.15 I will send one packet each 
OiLUmli f i'mU of Mansfield Tree Tomato, Golden 
Sugar Peas, Gold Coin Oats, Prince of Wales Peas, and one 
pound of New No. 10 Potato with a free packet of Potter’s 
Superb Sweet Corn, all postpaid, to any address in United 
States or Canada. 
These are my six grand novelties for 1890. 
A CARD.—I wish to say to my many thousand customers that I never employ any agents to sell my 
seeds, nor do I place any in the hands of storekeepers to be sold on commission. My business is to sup¬ 
ply seed direct to the planter by mail, express or freight to all parts of the world, and no matter where 
you live you can get “ Mills’ Seeds ” direct from my Seed House (a view of which you can see on first page 
of catalogue cover), which are carefully grown under my own supervision and warranted fresh and true 
in every respect. I claim my novelties for 1890 are the most wonderful and valuable varieties ever offered 
and I especially call your attention to them, believing you will be well satisfied by giving them a trial this 
year. I am sending out one packet free of “Potter’s Superb Sugar Corn” to all my cusuomei'8 of 1890. 
Can you afford to not plant this excellent corn when it can be secured free if you order a small bill of 
seeds? I want my books to show the largest list of customers for 1890 than ever before. _ Will you not 
this catalogue to your friends and neighbors and get them to order some seeds direct from the 
grower ? It is the easiest matter in the world to get my seeds—all you have to do is to select the varieties 
you want and write them on the order sheet and enclose it with the correct amount in a well-sealed 
envelope and address to me and your seeds will be at once packed and sent by mail, express or freight, 
or the way you direct them sent. -Remember “Mills’ Seeds” can only be obtained direct from head¬ 
quarters. _F. B. MILLS. 
MILLS’ LEADING SPECIALISES IN VEGETABLE SEEDS, 
I offer under this heading choice varieties which have been introduced before, and I make a specialty 
of them, because by carefully testing on my grounds I find them worthy of all the praise they are given 
HENDERSON’S NEW BUSH LIMA BEAN. 
Thousands have been deterred from culti¬ 
vating the most delicious of vegetables—the 
Lima Bean—from the great trouble and ex¬ 
pense of procuring poles on which to grow 
them. This is now a tiling of the past, as the 
New Bush Lima grows without the aid of 
stakes or poles, in compact bush form, from 
15 to 18 inches high, and produces enormous 
crops of delicious Lima Beans, which can be 
as easily gathered as the common garden bush 
beans. 
The New Bush Lima is at least two weeks 
earlier than any of the climbing limas. This 
fact alone would stamp it as the most valued 
novelty of recent years, but when in addition 
to this we realize that it is a true bush bean, 
requiring no supports, some idea of its great 
value can be realized. 
It produces a continuous crop from the time 
it comes into hearing until frost, and being 
enormously productive, a very small patch will 
keep a family supplied throughout the season. 
Price for genuine seed, per pkt., 15 cts.; 2 pkts., 
25 cts.; 5 pkts., 50 cts.; or 12 pkts. for $1.00.
