After they pass this stage they are rich and _ deli- cious for eating as a Lima bean. It is immensely productive, yielding at the rate of 100 bushels per acre. It is the finest stock food imaginable; never sheds its foliage even in the driest weather. The foliage is profuse and rich, the plant being a dense mass of leayes and beans. It begins to ripen quite early in the summer and continues until stopped by frost. It is gne of the most valuable forage crops that can be grown.

LAZY Wik E—(See Cut.)—This new variety has been for a number of years the most popular Pole Bean grown. Pods are wonderfully broad, thick, fleshy, and above all, entirely stringless. In these re- spects they surpass any other I know of. Then, again, the pods retain theirrich, stringless and tender qualities until they are almost ripe; so much so, in fact, that | am perfectly safe in saying they are the best of all snap-sorts. They also surpass every va- riety in the way vines cling to the pole, and every bean grower will at once acknowledge this is a_ most important qualification. Its name, I think, implies productiveness, for, the vines being covered all sum- mer with masses of beautiful pods, it is just the sort to suit lazy wives, as a mess can soon be picked for dinner. Pods are rather flattish, oval shape, and when fully grown, are from 4 to 6 inches long, ex- ceedingly rich, buttery and fine flavored when cooked. They are hardy, easily grown and enormously pro- ductive. I could furnish hundreds of testimonials from persons who have grown and used the Lazy Wife bean, all claiming it to be the best bean they haye ever tried, and many have discarded all other kinds, using this for an early and late snap-sort, and also as dry, shell or winter bean; and such isthe peculiar taste and pleasant flavor of this bean that them out. der.

It has reached such a degree of popularity that it is now a standard sort. It differs from all other beans known in its beautiful, deeply cut foliage, aptly described by its name “‘Willow Leaf.’? It isso handsome that many gardeners have pro- ‘nounced it worthy of growing as an ornamental climbing vine, as the trifoliate leaves are of @ _ rich, dark green color, all pendent, presenting an attractive front. The beauty of this, al- though such an attraction, is overlooked as soon asit kegins to bloom, because of the profusion of blossoms which are truly astonishing.

One of the chief departments of my seed growing business consists of wing cabbage for the seed only, and m stock has reached such a high point of merit that it is a household pron ye eee ‘that “Buckbee's Gab 4 Seed is the most reliable and produces more good marketable heads per acre than any offered.”” And from the many thousand of unsolicited testimonials that I receive from all over the country I have every reason to ‘believe that the time which I personally spend in my cabbage fields is truly appreciated by my many cnateeeet custom- Recs) ers who stand by me in saying ‘““Buckbee’s Western Grown Seeds are aR St the very best.” : In the more southern states the seed should be planted in accordance with ’ the season, but in our northern states they must be sown in hot beds in Feb- ruary and when large enough transplanted, then placed in cold frames to harden and attain a size large enough for transplanting outside. In planting it is very important that the plant be set down to the first leaf so that the stem is all under ground, for if exposed it will be split by the action of the frost and will be injured in consequence. ‘The plants shonld be transplanted to the open ground as early as season will allow. This earliest crop matures in June; for second early, the early kinds should be sown first week in April and planted out in May. This crop should mature in July and August. The late varieties are usually sown in the early part of May and the plants set out in July. This crop matures in September, October or November. By planting my reliable cabbage seed you will be sure of the best crop. SPECIAL OFFER.

In June and July transplant in rows three feet apart for the dwarf varieties, and four to five feet for the larger sorts, and set six inches apart in rows. About the middle of August it is necessary to begin ‘‘earthing up,” or ‘‘boarding up,” necessary for the proper blanching. In the first instance, the plants can be hilled up with a hoe or similar tool; or those who have large amounts. a horse celery hiller will be found profitable. Don’t let the earth enter the heart of the celery, that is the light leaves in the centre, for they are apt to rust. To prevent this, go over the plants after they are “hilled up’? and shake the dirt out. In “boarding up” it is only necessary to stand a board, of the required heicht. each side of the rew, on ifs edge, and held in position at the ends by braces or stakes. When thoroughly blanched your plants are ready to be due and are now ready for market or to be stored away. The following is a simple method: Set plants as closely together as the bunches of roots will permit, upon and partially in a layer of moist muck or loam in a corner of the cellar, Keep the layer always moist, or wet and the foliage always dry. Use the plants that are most nearly blanched first, saving those which had the least done to them in the field for the last. Instead of putting them directly upon the cellar bottom, you may place them in a box of convenient size hav- ing a muck or loam in the bottom, Just above this layer bore a few holes into the sides of the box, and through these you mayapply water as needed.

I urgently request a trial order from those who have not sown my seeds and am Confident that they will become regular customers. A WORD OF CAUTION=—In sowing all flower seeds be careful not to sow “‘too deep.’’ Seed of the size of Asters, Balsams, etc., should not be sown over an eighth of an inch deep. While smaller seed such as Petunias. Portulaca,Pansy, ete., should barely be covered. Larger seed such as Sweet Peas, Cannas, Nasturtiums, etc., cau be safely planted about two inches deep. After sowing, all flower seed should be covered with finely sifted dirt, then pressed down firmly and carefully. S By Sowing Buckbee’s Reliable Flower Seed You Will Have the Best of Success.

A 5 . é = Buckbee’s World’s Fair Prize Pansies (SEE CUTS.) My Pansy Seed is all special strains of the highest perfection and greatest beauty: Seed may be sown at al-— most any time of the year, but the best time to sow for summer and fall show is early in spring. They will then bloom all sum- mer and fall.’ For early spring show, August or September is a good time to sow seed, giving the plants slight protection over winter, though they seldom winter-kill. If seed is sown late, after the weather has become hot and dry, it should be placed in a cool, shady situation, and kept watered, otherwise Pansy seed will not germinate well. This is where many fail in getting seed to germinate quickly and well. In the garden, plants shouid have a good rich soil, which should be kept well hoed and free trom weeds. All flowers should be picked off as soon as they fade, for if allowed to form seed it will take so muck of the strength of the plant that there will be a great falling off in the — size and number of flowers. A collection of Pansies, which for variety and beauty, have never been excelied! of matchless forms, colors and markings, flowers being as large again as other strains.
