Burpee’s Dwarf or Bush Lima

Is what has long
been desired, but
which growers
hardly expected
ever to obtain — a
perfect bash form
of the true lus-
cious Large Lima
Bean. Bushes
grow from 18 to 20
inches high, 01
stout growth and
always erect, yet
j branching vigor-
ously. It is an im-
mense yielder, each
bush bearing from

__ 50 to 200 of the

— ■ = ^ handsome large

pods well filled with very large beans, identical in size and flavor to the
well-known Large Pole Limas. Of incalculable value for the reason that
now the largest and best I.ima Beans can be cheaply raised in quantity, with-
out the expense and labor attached to the use of poles.

Produces enormous
crops of delicious
Lima Beans which
can be as easily
gathered as the com-
mon bush sorts. It
is at least two
WEEKS EARLIER
than any of the
climbing Limas.
This fact alone
would stamp it as
the most valuable
novelty of recent
years, but when, in
addition to this, we
consider that it is a
true Bush Bean, re-
quiring no supports,
_ and is a continuous

and abundant bearer until frost, some idea of its great value can be realized.

Yellow Globe Danvers. Undoubtedly the best
known and most popular of all onions ; the earliest
yellow variety ; is entirely free from stiff necks.
Globular in shape, has a small top. It is the most
productive, producing as high as 1,000 bushels
per acre, and will average on good soil with proper
culture 700 to 800 bushels. Our improved strain
of this variety grows in popularity every year and
is annually planted by the best and largest onion

growers and market men in this country

Yellow Globe Danvers, our Finest Strain. This
represents the product of years of careful selection
and is the most perfect type of the Yellow Globe
Danvers Onion which intelligent, painstaking care
can produce. It is immeasurably superior to the
average seed offered, not only in shape and color,
but in productiveness. The product of this seed
always finds a ready sale, even when the general crop
is a “ glut ” on the market, and will always average
50c. per bbl. more than any other strain. This,
our special strain, is all grown from selected, hand-
picked bulbs ; none but those perfect in size and

shape being set for seed

Yellow Danvers (Round). Reliability for bottoming
and large yield are both combined in our improved
strain of this popular variety. It is extensively
grown for market, and frequently produces 600
bushels per acre from seed sown in the spring.
The genuine Danvers is a very handsome, round
onion, thick through, of good size, with thin, yel-
low skin; flesh white, fine grained, firm, mild,
and of excellent quality. It ripens early, is en-
tirely free from stiff necks, keeps well and sells
readily. This variety is now being planted in
many sections for growing sets, being preferred
by many to the Strasburg. We unhesitatingly rec-
ommend it, both for growing sets and for large
onions

Acme. Similar to Early Ohio in every respect except
that it has red skin, and grows larger tubers ; fully

as early, and a heavier yielder $3 25

Burpee’s Extra Early. One week earlier than Early
Rose, and nearly twice as productive. Potatoes
are good size, very smooth, skin creamy white,
shaded with pink. The flesh is pure white, pos-
sessing the very best table qualities. A sure

cropper 3 00

Cambridge Early Rose. Now we offer you a new
Early Rose named after our own beautiful town.

It is earlier and the tubers larger than the old and
popular Early Rose, and under ordinary field cul-
ture will yield 250 to 300 bushels to the acre. We
know you will be more than satisfied if you give

this fine new sort a trial 3 00

Clark’s No. 1. Earlier than the Early Rose, and will
yield a heavier crop. It bears a close resemblance
to Early Rose in appearance. It cooks mealy, is
of excellent flavor, and is every way a capital
variety for either the farmer or market gardener.

Four hundred and fifty bushels have been raised

on an acre 3 00

Early Beauty of Hebron. Very rapid and vigorous
grower, ripening a week ahead of Early Rose,
which it resembles, but far exceeds in productive-
ness 3 00

POTATOES— continued.

arly Harvest. An early pure white potato from
Northern Maine; round to oblong in shape; extra

early ; superior quality, and a heavy cropper

iarly Maine. Introduced by J. J. H. Gregory, of
Marblehead, Mass. Earlier than the Early Rose,
a better cropper and of the finest quality. Mr.
Gregory says in his recommendations of this new
sort: “It is high time it was sent abroad.” Largely

grown in Maine for the Boston market

iarly Norther. A seedling raised from a seed-ball
of the Early Rose. In shape, color and season
of ripening it very closely resembles the Early
Rose, but in yield is more prolific. It is likely to

become as popular as the New Queen

iarly Ohio. Now widely known and deservedly one
of the most popular sorts. It has the advantage
of being fit for use and sale even before fully ripe.
A few days earlier than the Early Rose, and similar
in color and habit of growth. Quality dry and

mealy

£arly Puritan. This is a first-class early potato. It
f1 is white-skinned and oblong round in shape. It

proves with us to be a very heavy cropper

'Early Rose, Our stock of this popular variety is in
its original purity, having renewed our planting
stock annually for several years past from Houl-
ton, Maine, where it is very popular, and about

the only variety planted for market

Early Six Weeks. Undoubtedly the earliest potato
grown; similar to Early Ohio in every respect,
but claimed by the originator to be earlier than
this standard, well-known sort. We recommend

this for first early planting

Early Sunrise. The great claims for this potato are
its extreme earliness, and at the same time great
productiveness. Has produced potatoes fit for
the table eight weeks from the time of planting.

Always a favorite

Henderson’s Early Bovee. A new variety of the
Hebron type which proves to be one of the earliest
and also one of the most productive early sorts —
Maule’s Early Thoroughbred. Perfection at last
1 attained. As fine flavor as the Freeman, as great
a cropper as the Irish Daisy, and as early or earlier
than Early Ohio. Maule’s Early Thoroughbred
besides being so early, is of handsome appearance,
superb in quality and an enormous yielder ; in fact
all who have tried it consider it a perfect potato. .
New Queen. Of superb quality, good size, a rank
grower and take it all in all, we consider it a most
desirable early potato. There are certain sections
where potatoes of the Hebron type seem to do
better than those of any other kind. Wherever
the old Early Hebron made a good record when
first grown, there the New Queen will give the
best of satisfaction

sorts $3 25

Medium Early and Later Sorts.

Carman No. 1. Medium in season, shaped like

the Rural No 2, and has very few shallow eyes .. 2 75

Carman No. 3. It originated like Carman No. 1, with
Elbert S. Carman, Editor-in-Chief of the Rural
New Yorker, whose name it bears, and who states,
first : It is the handsomest large white potato ever
produced. Second: It will outyield any other
potato whatever. Third: Practically every potato
is of marketable size. Fourth: Its table qualities
are fully up to the highest standard. It has no

hollow hearts and no dark spots 2 75

Delaware. Large, and of fine quality; in color white,

immense yielder 2 75

Henderson’s Sir Waiter Raleigh. Originated by
Elbert S. Carman, of the Rural New Yorker, and
introduced recently. The potato is of the same
class as Mr. Carman’s other white potatoes, such
as Carman No. 3, Carman No. 1, and Rural New
Yorker No 2, but is claimed to contain more new
fresh blood, a finer eating quality and to be a

better yielder than any of them 2 75

Money Maker. Money Maker is*a long, handsome,
well-shaped white potato, and a fine new sort that
is taking the place of the White Star, Burbank and
similar sorts. Money Maker has demonstrated
that under any and all conditions it is absolutely
blight , drought and rot-proof; and undoubtedly
the heaviest yielding, rankest growing white potato

of our time 2 75

Rural New Yorker No. 2. A well-known favorite
of excellent quality and immensely productive.

Sure to give satisfaction 2 75

State of Maine. A standard white potato that has
proven a very reliable one. Shape, round to ob-
long, slightly flattened, medium late, and a good

yielder 2 75

The Cambridge Russet. New and entirely distinct,
the handsomest and the finest eating potato ever
placed on the table. The tubers are round to
oblong in shape, eyes flush with the surface, skin
russet-brown in color, covered with a fine vein-
work as though designed for a choice pattern of
lace. The tubers are to the touch as velvet, and
will bring on any market from five to ten cents per
bushel more than common stock. Vines rank,
dark green, free from blight and very productive, 3 00

KLEIN

WANZLEBEN

The two varieties which have
been most widely grown in this
country are the Vilmorin’s Im-
proved and the Klein Wanz-
leben. The certainty that the
seed has been grown by the
most scientific methods is of
greater importance to the beet
grower than the variety. 1 he
beet has reached such a high
state of perfection ?s to make
the least degree of laxity in its-
treatmen/ exceedingly danger-
ous. "

Klein Wanzleben.

Probably more widely grown
than any other, and undoubtedly
the best sort for general cultiva-
tion. It produces from 14 to 18
tons to the acre, containing from
15 to 18 per cent, of sugar.

Yilmorin’s Improved.

Not quite as large as the Klein Wanz-
leben, and yields from 12 to 16 tons to
the acre, and contains fully as large a
percentage of sugar.
