PLANTS DWARF. 
MATURE RAPIDLY. 
RELIABLE. 
SOLID HEADS. 
SNOWY WHITE. 
OUTWEIGH OTHERS. 
This acme of Cauliflowers, intro¬ 
duced by us a few years since as su¬ 
perior to any other variety for relia¬ 
bility of heading and size and solidity 
of hcalls, lias, by innumerable trials 
in all parts of the country, estab¬ 
lished the claims then made for it, 
and it stands to-day as the leading- 
variety for market and for private 
use. The plants are very dwarf, and 
while the outer leaves are erect the 
inner ones lap over the heads in such 
a manner that they are fully shaded 
from the sun, preserving- them a 
beautiful snowy white. The plants 
can be set closely, and then grow 
and mature rapidly under favorable 
conditions. 
Price , per ounce , $6.00; half ounce 
$3.00; quarter ounce, $2.00; packet 
35 cents. 
One gardener says of it: “I have 
never had liner Cauliflowers.” An¬ 
other says; “I And the heads of 
vour ‘Ideal’ Cauliflower average 
larger than those of any other va¬ 
riety I have raised, and also such 
heads of ‘Ideal’ as are apparently 
the same size as other sorts invariably 
outweigh them .” Another: “The 
seed which I bought of you did well 
from the time it was sown in the 
hot-bed. Every plant 1 set made a 
splendid head. Taking all things into 
consideration, I think the 4 Ideal ’ 
will outrival any other variety. I 
weighed a few heads, trimmed ready 
for market, which tipped the scales 
at seven pounds.” Another says: 
“I have raised, during the past two 
seasons, heads of ‘Ideal’ Cauliflower 
weighing eleven pounds, and my 
whole crop averaged eight pounds 
per head. When I came into market 
with them, all other sorts failed to 
sell.” 
DWARF LIMA BEAMS. 
THREE OF A KIND. 
Burpee’s Bush Lima Bean. 
This we consider to be the best of all the Dwarf Bush Lima Beans lately 
introduced. The pod and bean is in all respects identical with the Large 
Pole Lima. 1 1 : also has all the good qualities of that Bean. It is prolific 
and early. Price, per packet , 15 cents. 
Dreer’s Improved Bush Lima Bean. 
This va riety is very desirable owing to its dwarf habit and earliness. In 
pod and beau it resembles the well-known Dreer’s Improved Pole Lima, 
having all the good qualities of that valued sort. Price, per packet, ir> 
cents. 
Henderson’s Bush Lima Bean. 
This is the mostproliflc of the Bush Lima Varieties. It is,.however, a 
much smaller bean, resembling the Seiva or Carolina Lima Bean. Price, 
per packet, 10 cents. 
One packet, each, of the three Limas for 30 cents. 
New Stone Tomato 
Ripens for main crop; is very large, and of bright scarlet color; very 
smooth, with occasionally a specimen slightly octagon shaped; ripening 
even to the stem without a crack; exceedingly solid and firm-fleshed (as 
its name indicates); is an excellent shipper; quality the very best; a 
good keeper; without hard core; not subject to rot; its appearance on 
market remarkably attractive; a heavy variety; its vines and foliage 
1 rank and robust, heavily loaded with very uniform specimens of fruit. 
For live yours this Tomato has been subjected to the most careful test¬ 
ing, and we have found it to possess several superior qualities and dis¬ 
tinct characteristics. Wc believe it to bo the coming Tomato for market 
gardeners and truckers.
