ASPARAGUS. 
PftLA\ETTO ASPARAGUS. 
“Until we found this new Palmetto asparagus,” writes a 
prominent seedsman, “Conover’s Colossal had always been 
the leading sort, and justly so; but when we state that the 
Palmetto is not only much earlier , but it is also a better yielder , 
and it is more even and regular in its growth, it will be 
seen, we think, that it must eventually supplant the old 
favorite.” Price, per lb., postpaid, 98 cts.; per lb., 30 cts.; 
per oz., 15 cts.; per pkg., 5 cts. 
Come to Howes’ Station in October or 
November and inspect our seed stocks. 
MOORE’S CROSS-BRED 
ASPARAGUS . 
For twenty years Mr. Moore 
took first prize on asparagus at 
the shows of the Massachusetts 
Horticultural, which proves either 
that Mr. Moore used extra manure 
and extra cultivation, or that he 
had what he claimed, an extra 
variety of asparagus. Price, per 
lb., postpaid, 98 cts.; per pkg., 5 
cts. 
Palmetto Asparagus. 
Warren Bush Bean. 
4SP $25.00 REWARD. 
After having carefully tested the Warren side by side 
with scores of varieties, we unhesitatingly pronounce it 
to be the best of all bush beans , for table use, and so con¬ 
fident are we in our position, we hereby offer a reward of 
#25.00, payable to any one who will send us a variety that 
shall surpass it. The Warren is a good cropper, and has 
a large, pulpy, stringless pod. When cooked, it has the 
rich quality that heretofore has been believed to be con¬ 
fined to the best of the pole beans. If any of our cus¬ 
tomers, after testing it on their tables, think we have 
overestimated its merits, on being so notified we shall be 
ready to refund their purchase money. Per bush., per 
express, #10.00; per peck, per express, #3.00; per qt., ex¬ 
press, 40 cts.; perqt., postpaid, 55 cts.; package, 10 cts.

Warren Busii Bean. 
BURPEE’S BUSH LIMA BEAN, 
It is a true bush form of the luscious large 
Lima Bean, and must not be confounded with 
Henderson's Bush Lima , which is the small 
Carolina (Sieva or Sewee) Bean, nor with the 
Dreer's Bush Lima , which is a dwarf type of 
the chubby Potato Lima. 
Burpee’s Bush Lima comes absolutely true 
from seed. The bushes grow eighteen to 
twenty inches high, of stout growth and 
always erect, yet branching so vigorously that 
each plant develops into a magnificent circular 
bush, from two feet to three feet in diameter. The 
bush character is thoroughly established, not 
one plant in a thousand showing any dis¬ 
position to “run.” 
In the latitudes where it succeeds it is a great 
yielder of handsome large pods, well filled with 
very large beans, which are identical in size and 
luscious flavor to the well-known large pole Limas. 
The Dreer’s Bush Lima is an earlier variety, 
and will therefore mature farther north. 
Price, per peck, by express, #4.00; per qt., 
postpaid, 90 cts.; per pkg., 10 cts.

ever grown is the Marblehead Early 
Marrowfat.
