“top notch’’ quality—none better than ours, and the price 
is right. f 


BURPEE’S BUSH LIMA—The leading lima bean; grows 
to a height of 18 to 20 inches, forming a circular bush 
over two feet in diameter. Requires no poles or stakes 
and is a tremendous yielder. The pods are of large size 
and each pod produces 3 to 4 mammoth beans of fine

KENTUCKY WONDEK —I consider this one of the best aid most profitable beans 
grown. The pods usually measure over 7 inches in length and are so filled with large 
meaty beans that they are greater in width than breadth. They are of the finest quality 
entirely stringless and will bear heavily the entire season. There is no better bean on the 
market than the Kentucky Wonder and my stock is selected with great care. Be sure to 
try this grand bean. 

LAZY WIFE—Pods six inches in length, produced in great abundance; broad, fleshy 
and entirely stringless; possess a rich buttery flavor when cooked. Asa shell bean for 
winter they have few equals and no superior.

among the corn. In some sections it is used almost exclusively, many persons desiring 
no other. The pods are short, round and very tender; beans nearly oblong. 

KING OF THE GARDEN, LIMA—The largest, finest and best pole lima bean grown

Harris’ Earliest Watermelon. 
The Earliest, Best and Largest Early Melon Grown, 


Tested in our own fields it 
proved two to three weeks 
earlier than any other variety. 
Every experimental station or 
trial grounds that have tested 
the Genuine Harris melon, 
have, so far as we know, made 
the same report. Our tests 
have proven it so superior to 
all others that we no longer 
catalogue other Extra Early 
varieties. This melon will 
bring greater profits to the 
Market Gardener, because its 
extreme earliness and_ size 
enables you to be FIRST in 
the market and get the top 
prices. The private gardener 
will have the first melons of 
the season on his table. 

When we are convinced @ 
variety has more than ordina- 
ry merits, WE WANT THE BEST 
IT IS POSSIBLE TO PROCURE. So 
with this melon, we wanted 
the best and highest quality of 
seed. {(@F The seed we offer 
was grown for us under special 
contract, by Mr. Harris of , 

Tenn, originator of the melon. In his letter to us, Mr. Harris says: ‘The melon is oval to oblong; color is 
dark green with beautiful mottled grayish stripes; flesh scarlet, sweet and melting; weight 20 to 30 lbs; is 
good shipper, keeps well, bears all summer and sure to ripen ahead of any other variety. It has been 
tested by Experiments at Knoxville, Tenn. and also the Government Farms at Washington, and the officers 
at both places pronounce it ‘THE EARLIEST OF ALL AND OF GOOD. QUALITY.’” Some ‘cheap’ 
seed of this variety is being offered for sale and claimed to be “‘just as good”’ as that grown by Mr. Harris. 
Dont you believe it---NO IMITATION IS AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL, and the genuine seed grown and improved 
by Mr. Harris produces melons earlier, larger and of superior quality. It pays to plant The Best. We have 
it. Pkt 5c.; 0z 10c.; 4 lb 30c.; % lb 50c.; lb 90c postpaid.

green; rind is very thin and brittle; a fully ripe Melon will always split ahead of the knife when cutting. The

The Earliest Pea. 
A Sure Cropper. 


This is not only the BHarliest Pea in 
cultivation, but is unequaled for yield and 
regularity of growth. They bear a heavy 
crop of well filled pods from three to 
three and one-half inches in length, near- 
ly all of which can be gathered at one 
picking. Vines grow 18 inches in height 
and are loaded with these early delicious 
peas. Their flavor is the best and they 
are by far the earliest and finest early 
pea on the market. This pea has more 
than fulfilled all the claims we have made 
for it the past two seasons, It will make 
a crop where others fail and will be the 
first in the market. We have no report 
ofa failure--wherever planted they have 
NEVER failed to bear abundantly and are 
THE FIRST. They are not an everbearin 
pea, but produce a large crop, maturin

for some other vegetable, before other

ZIMMERMAN’S EARLY WONDER TOMATO. 


Earliest Tomate in the World. 


This variety is truly an Harly Wonder and stands without a rival in the early field. Produces its beau- 
tiful lucious fruit long before tomatoes are even thought of. This is not to be compared with the so- 
called earlies offered by many seedsmen, but is a superior tomato and THE BEST OF THE EARLIES. It 
is of good size, perfectly smooth, round and of a beautiful rich red color. Its earliness, smoothness, super- 
ior quality and handsome appearance makes it the grandest Toraato ever introduced. Market gardners 
can reap a rich harvest by getting the early fancy prices for the first tomatoes. The demand for this 
variety has been so great the past two seasons that our supply of seed was exhausted before the seasons 
were one-half over. We hope those who were disappointed in not being able to try this grand tomato 
last season will order early this year. _From all reports, indications are, the demand will be still greater 
this year, and, while we have a very large stock on hand, we advise early orders. Send in your orders 
at once. PkKt. 5c.; % oz.- 20c.; oz. 35¢.; % Ib. $1.25, postpaid.

y , ZIMMERMAN’S IMPROVED TREE TOMATO, 


In our Improved Tree Tomato we undoubtedly 
have the very finest of the tree tomatoes and one 
that is sure to become very popular. It is earlier 
than the varieties generally offered ; has a stout, 
stocky stem and stands upexceedingly well. It 
is a very thrifty grower and heavy yielder, pro- 
ducing its bright, glossy red, lucious, fruit in 
great abundance. The fruit is round, has very 
few seeds and ripens clear to the stem. Flesh is 
firm, thick and of most excellent flavor and sel- 
dom rots or cracks, making it a decided improve- 
ment over the general run of tree tomatoes. The 
fruitis produced in clusters and each cluster ,@& 
ripers evenly. Itis a fine shipper and especially “4 
valuable for market gardeners. While they at- \ 
tain a height of two to three feet, they begin to 
bear when about sixinches high. They do bet- 
ter trained to a stake, as the fruit sometimes 
weightsthem down. Pinch off low side shoots 
until four clusters form. We suppose the sen- 
sational seedsmen would have this really grand 
tomato printed on pink, red or yellow paper in 
the front part of his catalogue. It would proba- 
bly be given some high sounding name. He 
would make a lot of blow and bluster about it 
and then ask 15e to 25¢ a packet. We are not 
sensational and we want you to try this tomato

the spring as the weather will permit, using not less than 25 1bs per acre, for feeding, or 12 lbs if for seed. There are many grades

THE HOFFMAN BROOD FRAME. 


Beginners and even careless bee-keepers of some experience can not 
fail to get them spaced just right. There is no guessing or hap- 
hazard fingering; and the consequence is, the combs are even in sur- 
face, and of uniform thickness. In these days, when out-aplaries are 
so much in vogue, and hives are moved from one point to another, 
it is highly *mportant that the frames be of a kind that will stand 
hauling from place to place, even over rough roads; and in this re- 
spect the Hoffman fills the bill perfectly. 

Hoffman frames, end-spaced, 10 for 30c; 100 for $2.75; 500 for $12.50. 
DOVETAILED PLAIN-SECTION SUPER.
