Dwarf or Bush 
PROLIFIC GERMAN BLACK WAX. A well 
known popular variety. The most striking fea¬ 
ture of this variety is its habit of ripening a 
large proportion of the crop earlier than most 
other varieties. Dwarf bush growth and very 
prolific. This is one of the earliest. Pods four 
to five inches in length, usually curved, quite 
round, meaty, brittle and stringless; deep 
golden yellow; of excellent flavor. Pkt., 10c; 
lb., 35c. 
FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA. The plants are 
about thirty incres high and bear an immense 
crop of fine large pods. The pods are borne 
in clusters from five to eight and measure 
five to six inches long. The beans are deli¬ 
cious and mature eight to ten days earlier 
than the bush Limas. Pkt., 10c; lb., 45c, ;?ost- 
paid.

KING OF THE GARDEN LIMA. This is a 
decided improvement over the large white, be¬ 
ing a stronger grower, very productive and 
bearing large, well filled pods. The beans are 
usually shelled, fine quality and excellent 
flavor. Pkt., 10c; lb., 40c, postpaid. 
HENDERSON'S BUSH LIMA. The most suc¬ 
cessful Bush Lima for the Southern States, and 
the only one we recommend as a sure crop¬ 
per. It is much planted by the market garden¬ 
ers; is at least three weeks earlier than any 
of the climbing Limas and is a continuous 
bearing plant. Pkt., 10c; lb., 40c. 
Market Gardeners and Large Growers are Especially Invited to Send Their List— 
We Will Gladly Quote Quantity Prices.

CULTURE. The ground for Beets should be rich and well cultivated. Sow in drills 
twelve inches apart and about one inch deep. When the plants are well up, thin to from 
four to six inches. In this latitude Beets are sown from January until the end of April, and 
from the middle of July to the middle of November; in fact, some growers sow them every 
month in the year. Can also be sown broadcast. 
HENDERSON'S BUSH LIMA 
BEETS—DETROIT DARK RED 
EXTRA EARLY ECLIPSE. The Eclipse is a 
very round, uniform shaped Beet which is 
practically as early as the Early Flat Egyp¬ 
tian, and in addition is of much better qual¬ 
ity. Color is glossy red. It is especially pop¬ 
ular as a family Beet because of its sweetness 
and tenderness, and also for greens; foliage 
seems to be tenderer and richer than other 
sorts. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Vi lb., 30c. 
DETROIT DARK RED. More globe-shaped 
than the one we recommend for all garden 
purposes. Globe-shaped; bright, but rich red 
flesh. Tops small and green. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 
Vi lb., 30c. 
STAFFEL'S SCARLET. More globe-shaped 
than Extra Early Egyptian, and the best 
known and most popular variety; is very 
early and of fine quality. Bright red with 
clear vermilion flesh. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10 c; Vi lb., 
30c. 
BEETS are one of the most satisfactory 
vegetables to grow in the home garden. 
A few rows in the garden will give you 
fresh beets throughout the season. 
Mangel Wurzel or Stock 
Beets 
FOR STOCK FEEDING. For main crop sow 
about September 1st in rows 22 inches apart, 
using about five pounds of seed per acre. To 
get good, large and uniform Beets, the plants 
should be thinned when in the fourth leaf to 
six inches apart in the row. 
GIANT FEEDING SUAR BEET OR HALF 
SUGAR MANGEL. Desirable for stock feeding, 
affording not only a very large crop much 
easier to harvest than other sorts, but also 
having higher nutritive value, being especially 
rich in sugar. 
IMPROVED MAMMOTH LONG RED MAN¬ 
GEL. The largest Stock Beet. Yields 40 to 50 
tons to the acre. Will grow in land contain¬ 
ing more alkali than any other Beet. All stock 
except horses eat it readily. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; 
1/4 lb., 20c; lb., 50c; 10 lbs., $4.00. 
Sugar Beet 
KLEIN WANZLABEN. Valuable for stock 
feeding. Roots medium large; 12 to 15 inches 
long, 4 inches at shoulder, tapered; white 
with a tinge of gray. Good keeper. Pkt., 5c; 
oz., 10c; 1/4 lb-/ 20c; lb., 50c. 
Swiss Chard 
(SEA KALE BEET OR SPINACH BEET) 
Used for greens by cutting the stem and 
leaf, which are also very ornamental. It re¬ 
sembles an ornamcn al Beet top, but has no 
edible root. May be used as a salad. Pkt., 
5c; oz., 10 c; V4 lb., 25c. 
Broccoli 
The heads resemble somewhat a coarse 
cauliflower and the culture is the same in all 
essentials as for that vegetable. Broccoli is 
well adapted only to those sections where the 
season is long, cool and rather moist. One of 
the most valuable features is that it with¬ 
stands greater extremes of temperature than 
cauliflower. Sow in July. 
ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING. Matures nine¬ 
ty days from date of planting. It resembles 
cauliflower and the quality is fully equal and 
by some is considered superior. This is the 
only variety we recommend for San Antonio 
and surrounding territory. Pkt., 5c; oz., 35c; 
1/4 lb., $ 1 . 00 . 
Broccoli—Cauliflower Type 
DECEMBER. The earliest strain, sown in 
July and transplanted in August. Fine white 
large heads produced in November. Trans¬ 
planting is not necessary. Pkt., 10c; oz., $1.00.
