Pole Beans—Continued 
New King of the Garden 
This Standard Market Sort Is One of the Best for Main Crop 
It is vigorous in growth and immensely productive. The vine begins 
to produce pods near the foot of the pole and the bearing season con¬ 
tinues without interruption until frost. The pods are large, numerous 
and well filled and the Beans are of mammoth size. The handsome pods 
often attain a length of 5 to 7 or even 8 inches, with five or six Beans 
in each pod. 2 oz. pkt. 10c; Vi lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 2 lb. 65c, postpaid.

Vines unusually vigorous, bearing large clusters of broad pods from 
7 to 8 inches in length and containing 4 to 6 large Beans of superb 
quality and rich flavor. This is a medium late variety, but earlier

ductive than either of them. In quality it is unsurpassed and ought 
to have a place in every garden. 2 oz. pkt. 10c; Vi lb. 20c; lb. 35c;

Extra Early, Tender and Sweet. This Wonder Beet Is a Selection from 
Crosby’s Egyptian; of Turnip or Globe Shape, and Fine Rich Red Color

Beets grown. Ripens very early and uniformly and having a very 
small tap root is easily harvested. The type is practically true turnip 
or globe shape, very few of the flattened fruits showing. The entire 
crop matures at one time which is a great boon to gardeners. On 
account of its extremely early maturing, two crops can be harvested 
in one season on the same piece of land. The Beets themselves are of 
perfect shape, and beautiful deep red color. The tops are only medium 
size which will admit of close planting and is excellent for bunching.

and larger, although equally as early. The most desirable sort for small 
Beets for early market, as it is in presentable market shape quicker than 
any other sort. It is a very rapid grower and can be sown outside as 
late as July. Crosby’s Egyptian is one of the best Beets and a sure 
money maker for the market gardener. Our strain is exceptionally fine,
