VARIEGATED POP CORN. (One-half natural size.) 
Never before has such an attractive Pop Corn been offered as this superb variety, intro¬ 
duced by me. Indeed the ears are so handsome they are often used for parlor ornaments- 
It is very early immensely productive, (producing 3 to 6 cars on a stalk,) a splendid popper, 
bursting out very large, white as snow; tender, and delicious. The ears are of good size 
and beautifully variegated, red, white, and blue colors blended. It is without question 
the handsomest Pop Corn ever seen and will be sure to secure prizes at your Fair. Boys 
and Girls, as well as older ones, can get a nice income growing this corn for market as it 
sells at fancy prices. Packet, 15 cts. 2 for 25 cts. 5 for 50 cts. pint 40 cts. qt. 75 cts.

squashes are 
from 4 to 6 in¬

The 
NEW PROLIFIC TREE BEAN. A new and 
valuable variety., and by far the most prolific dwarf 
bean known; grow¬ 
ing about twenty 
inches in height, 
branching out in all 
directions, bearing 
its pods so high that 
they do not touch 
the ground, ena¬ 
bling it to stand a 
wet spell without in¬ 
jury. They have 
yielded over one 
hundred bushles to 
the acre; and a sin¬ 
gle plant has pro¬ 
duced the enormous 
number of 399 full 
sized pods. Plant 
in rows 2^ feet 
wide and 15 Inches apart in the row, one bean in the 
hill. Do not crowd them. 4 quarts will plant one 
acre. They are of fine flavor. Packet. 10cents.

MY LIST of Vegetable and Flower Seeds con¬ 
tains the cream of everything worth planting. 
TENNESSEE SWEET POTATO PUMPKIN. 
Of medium size, pear shaped, 
flesh thick, creamy white, fine 
grained, dry, and of most excel¬ 
lent flavor. Hardy, productive, a 
;ood keeper. A superior variety 
for pies, and cooking purposes. 
Packet 5 cents. 
TRY your hand at rais¬ 
ing seedling potatoes, you will 
find it very interesting, and 
may grow a new variety worth 
a fortune. My Hybridized seed 
is very choice and I offer it this, 
season at much lower rates 
than ever before. See page 14. 
ROSY GEM RADISH. This new Radish has 
won golden opinions in all sections of the country. 
The illustration is perfect from nature, and will give 
some idea of their great beauty. It is absolutely the 
earnest radish in cultivation: their shape is perfectly 
globular, with rich deep scarlet top: equally desirable 
for either the market or home garden, and should bo 
planted by everybody. Pkt. 10 cts. 3 for 25 cts. 
THE BEAUTIFUL CINNAMON VINE. 
You should surely order a liberal num¬ 
ber of the Cinnamon Vines. They are 
very easily grown, and once planted will 
last a lifetime. Your arbor, window and 
veranda will all be incomplete without 
this charming: climber. There is nothing- 
will give a home a more homelike and 
cosy appearance, or be a surer index of 
refinement and culture than Beautiful 
Vines twining-about the porch and trel¬ 
lises. US'” See page lfc for prices. 
PEPPER. Golden Dawn Mango. The earliest, 
sweetest, handsomest and most productive pepper 
grown: entirely free from fiery flavor. For beauty of 
growth this pepper is worthy of a place in the flower 
garden: my plants averaged 15 full-grown mangoes 
each. Pkt. 5 cts. 
K. MAARTMAN, Park River, Dak. Feb. 7th. 1889. 
writes:—I can recommend your seed very highly. 
Last spring I had seeds from Wis. Mich. Mo. and 
Dak.—but none of them gave such good satisfaction 
as yours. All of yours done nicely. I was the only 
one in the town that grew any cabbages. I raised 200 
fine heads from one packet of your seed. 
THE FREEMAN POTATO 
astonishes everybody by their extraor¬ 
dinary productiveness and great beauty. 
They are the handsomest and smooth¬ 
est potato I have ever seen and their 
quality is superb. • Plant the Freeman 
tills year. You surely cannot afford to 
grow old run-out vai eties that produce 
but half a crop, or less. Every dollar in¬ 
vested in the Freeman is sure to make a 
big return. User" Read last page.
