LIMA BEANS—Continued. 
BURPEE’S BUSH LIMA BEAN. 
Troublesome poles for Limn Beaus are no longer neces¬ 
sary. Burpee’s Bush Lima grows only 18 inches high and is 
no more trouble to raise than dwarf wax beans. ’ The pods 
and beans are nearly if not quite as large as the pole varie¬ 
ties and of equally good quality, and about a week earlier. 
Bears until frost. Everyone should plant at least a pint, and 
a quart would be much better. Qt. 50c., pt. 28c., ^ pt. loc., 
pkt. 10c. 
HENDERSON'S BUSH LIMA. 
Smaller, but two weeks earlier than Burpee’s and won¬ 
derfully productive. When sown at the same time they give 
a supply of beans from the earliest possible date until frost. 
These small beans are of the finest quality. Qt. 45c , pt.

BRUSSELS SPROUTS. 
The sprouts grow on the stem of Lho plant, as shown in the engraving, and are liko miniature 
heads of cabbage, about as largo as the ond of your thumb, but sometimes larger. Those little heads 
are picked off In the fall and winter and cooked like cabbage. They aro Improved by having a 
dressing of “drawn butter” pourod over them when served. Brussels Sprouts aro becoming very 
popular and are profitable to grow for markot. Thorp Is always a good demand for them. 
CU LTUltE —The cultivation of Brussels Sprouts Is similar to that of cabbage. The seed should 
be sown in this latitude about the middle of April and the plants set out about the first of Juno, in 
rows three feet apart and the plants two feet apart In the rows. In the fall the plants should be bent, 
down and covered well with straw or leaves and earth, or they may betaken up and stored In a shed 
or out-building with their roots in earth. An ounce of seed will produce 2,000 plants.

BEETS. 
CULTURE.—Sow as soon as the ground can be worked, in rows 16 to 20 Inches apart In light soil 
that has been well manured or fertilized. A mixture of equal parts of superphosphate and nitrate of 
soda will produce wonders on beets ; apply broadcast before sowing the seed. When the beets come 
up, thin to 3 or 4 Inches apart. An ounce of seed will sow about 60 feet of row—6 to 7 lbs. of seed per acre. 
ECLIPSE BEET—An Extra Fine Strain.

13 Bushels from I Ounce of Seed. Mr. E. B. Barnett, .South Columbia, N. H.,says: “ I bought 
one ounce of Eclipse Beet seed of you last year for trial, and mined 13 bushels of as nice beets as I ever 
saw. There wasn’t an ill-shaped beet in the whole lot, and in quality they are the finest.”
