hills. 
EARLY MARKET BUSH (JU. S. 142) — 
Bronze’ Medal 1944 All-America 
Awards. This variety is best com- 
pared to Burpee’s Bush Lima, in 
plant structure, type, etc.; bearing 
curved pods of about the same size, 
but producing slightly smaller seed. 
It is a flat seeded type. 
The outstanding. feature of the 
EARLY MARKET BUSH, how- 
ever, is its. very early maturity and 
its ability to yield under hot weather 
conditions. Matures approximately 
the same time as Henderson’s Bush 
and makes heavy yields where no 
other large type lima would set 
pods. 
HENDERSON'S BUSH LIMA—This is 
the earliest variety, being fully two 
weeks ahead of any other sort in 
maturity. The beans are small and 
very fine for canning. 
BURPEE'S BUSH LIMA—The sto.ut, 
erect bushes grow from 18 to 20 
inches high and 2 to 3 feet in diam- 
eter. They are laden with large, 
luscious beans. 
JACKSON WONDER BUSH LIMAS—It 
is of true bush form, about 2 feet 
high, bearing greatest profusion of 
broad, flat pods, each having from 
3 to 5 medium-sized flat, handsomely 
speckled beans, which cook quickly 
and are of superior flavor. 
One pound will plant 100 
POLE LIMA BEANS 
CAROLINA or SIEVA POLE—(Small 
White Beans)—Vigorous variety; 
very early and productive. Pods are 
short, flat and curved; beans white, 
small and kidney-shaped. 
GIANT SPECKLED POLE—Vine grows 
7 to 9 feet tall; pods 5 to 5% inches, 
3 beans per pod, slightly curved, 
large-flat. Produces large seed of 
beautifully contrasted colors. Very 
prolific. 
SPECKLED POLE LIMA—The most pro- 
lific of the Pole Limas. Seeds are 
about the size of the Sieva, but are 
speckled white and brownish red. 
KING OF THE GARDEN — (Large 
White Lima)—An improved strain 
of the large white, of more prolific 
character and with larger pods and 
beans. 
SHELL BEANS 
IMPROVED NAVY—Small seed. White 
and round. Pods 4 to 5 inches. 
RED KIDNEY—Pods flat and broad. 
Color pinkish crimson. Pods 5 to 6 
inches. 
BEETS 
Beets are one of the most healthful of veg- 
etables, containing more elements which the 
human system needs than almost any other. 
Beets grow in moderately light, sandy soil. 
For very early crops, sow in hot-beds and 
transplant the seedlings as soon as the weather 
is warm enough into open ground; for regular 
crop, plant outside as soon as the ground is in 
good condition; plant in drills 12 to 15 inches 
- apart and cover about 1 inch deep. When the 
seedlings are 4 to 5 inches high, thin them out 
to stand 4 to 5 inches apart in the row, An 
ounce of seed will sow 50 feet of drill; 5 to 6 
pounds to the acre. A complete plant food will 
increase quality and yield. 
DETROIT DARK RED—A very popular 
sort used extensively by market gar- 
deners as well as private planters. 
It matures early, and the roots are 
of splendid shape and good color. 
The tops are small and upright- 
growing, which makes possible close 
planting. The roots are globular 
and smooth, the skin is dark, blood 
red, the flesh red with lighter zones. 
The beets are very tender, firm and 
crisp, and remain so for a long time. 
EARLY BLOOD TURNIP—Coming in at 
the same time as the small, flat 
Egyptian, it is much larger and al- 
most globe-shaped—a much better 
beet for every purpose. It is fine- 
grained, very tender, and of good, 
sweet flavor. The color of the flesh 
is a rich red, tinged with crimson. 
EARLY WONDER—A very early dark 
red beet similar to Crosby’s Egyp- 
tian. Its earliness and deep color 
make it a favorite with the market 
gardeners. The taproots are small 
and the roots 
shape for bunching. 
CROSBY'S EGYPTIAN—The market 
gardener’s favorite. Fine, globe- 
shaped roots.

EARLY WONDER 
SWISS CHARD 
OR SPINACH BEET 
Swiss Chard is the best “greens” 
follow-up for spinach, and will stand 
the hot weather without losing its 
crispness. 
This delicious and useful vegetable 
should be in every garden and on 
every market stall. It is really two 
distinct vegetables. First the leafy 
part of the foliage is cooked and 
served the same as spinach, while the 
stalks are cooked and served with 
drawn butter, like tender asparagus. 
It grows about 2%4 feet high. The 
stalks are thick and broad like rhu- 
barb; the leaves are large and heavily 
crumpled like Savoy Spinach. Crisp 
and tender, pleasing flavor. 
BRUSSELS SPROUTS 
Brussels Sprouts are a very delicate vegetable, 
and deserve a more general cultivation than 
they receive. The plant belongs to the cabbage 
family and should be grown and cultivated like 
miniature cabbages. Very hardy; improved by 
frost. An ounce will produce 2,000 plants. 
DWARF IMPROVED—Bearing a small 
crop of small, solid, and tender 
heads.
