Beans

Dwarf Bush Varieties

(One quart will sow 100 feet of drill.)

Dwarf or bush beans require no support and should be planted in drills an inch and a half deep and drop the beans three inches apart in drills. Beans are tender annuals and cannot be planted until danger of frost is past. A sandy loam is the best. The half pint packages will be found very desirable for small families. We funish pints at one-half the quart price. Packages contain about two ounces. Price includes postge except at peck and half peck rates. Deduct 15c from quart rate if to be shipped by express. All varities of beans are scarce owing to the cropp fail ure in many section and you should order early to be sure you get the variety you want.

Wax Pod Sorts

Improved Golden Wax. In spite of all the new sorts of beans being introduced every year, our trade calls for more Golden Wax than any other variety. This great popularity is due largely to the fact that the variety we have is a great improve ment on the old Golden Wax, having larger pods and being more prolific. This improved stock is one of the handsomest beans we have ever seen, the pods a dark, rich yellow color and of perfect shape. For family or market you make no mistake in planting them. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 45c. By exoress, 1.2 pk. $1.00, pk. $1.75.

Germaan Black Wax. This strain of Black Wax is in our opinion superior to that generally offered. Pods tender, round fleshy and stringless. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 45c. By express, 1/2 pk. $1.00 , pk. $1.75.

Silver Wax. A beautiful new wax bean with pods of peculiar silvery color. A strong grower, vigorous, early and very prolific. Pods are round, very tender, free from rust and diseases and the at tractive shape and appearance together with its valuable qualities should make it one of the most popular beans on the list. Our illus tration gives some idea of the symmetry of the pods but we cannot convey the beauty of these beans in such a picture. Recommended to all lovers of wax beans. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 20c, qt. 50c. By express, 1/2 pk. $ 1.10, pk. $2.00.

Davis White Wax. A new white, rustless, productive, wax podded bean; pods flat, very long, white, straight and handsome; seeds clear white; excells all others in hardiness and productiveness. One of the best for shipping as snap beans and of the greatest value as a market variety. The length, uniformly perfect shape and fine color of the pods and the clear, white seed, make this one of the best for canners. It is just what they want: a long, straight, clear white pod which does not discolor in canning. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 45c. By express, 1/2 pk. $1.00 , pk. $1.75.

Wardwell's Kidney Wax. One of the earliest and most pro ductive of all wax beans. Yields large crop of long, nearly straight, broad, and creamy white, handsome pods. They are good quality and always command a ready sale. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 45c. By ex press, 1/2 pk. $1.00 , pk. $1.75.

Beans -- Contnued

Eururt Early Prolific Broad. We have had tim quires from our customers who formerly lived in England for the English Broad Beans but we did not handle them, as the leading variety, the Broad Winsor does not succeed well in this country. When travel ing through England we found that they had a greatly im proved variety which was very much earlier, more prolific and resisted drouth and rust bet ter than any other kind and we therefore secured a supply of them. This new variety has from five to nine beans of large size and delicate flavor. The plant is of robust, upright growth, entirely different from any ordinary vareity of beans. Pods measuring 10 to 12 inches in length are not uncommon and they are broad and of handsome appearance. Plant in rows about two feet apart, and six inches apart in the row, covering 1 1/2 to 2 inches deep. Top of stalk should be nipped off as soon as plants begin to flower, as this induces earlieness. Pkt. 10c, 1/2 pt. 20c, qt. 50c, postpaid. By frieght, 1/2 pk. $ 1.10, pk. $2.00.

[Image of beans dish and a broad bean labelled Erfurt.]

Burpee's Bush Lima. A dward of bush form of the true large Lima, which is of great value. They are of bush form, growing 18 to 20 inches high, of stout, erect growth, yet branching and vigorous; an immense yielder. Does not always mature dry shelled beans here, but yields a crop of green ones. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 45c. By express, 1/2 pk. $1.10 , pk. $2.00.

Chinese Sago Beans. A very small variety from China, which is quite a curiosity. Pkt. 10c, 1/2 pt. 30c.

Henderson's Bush Lima. Grows in com pact bush form, producing enormous crops of delicious Lima beans which can be as easily gathered as the common garden bush bean; is at least two weeks earlier than any of the climbing Limas; produces a continuous crop form the middle of July until frost. Enor mously productive. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 45c. By express, 1/2 pk. $1.00 , pk. $1.75.

[Image of bean plant labelled Henderson's Dwarf Lima.]

Pole Beans

Plant from five to six seeds in each hill, about two inches deep; one quart will plant 100 to 150 hills.

Old Homestead. Is also known to some of our customers as Kentucky Wonder. Increasing in popularity each year. We recommend it as among the most productive va rieties, while for snap beans it is unsurpassed in quality. If you can find any place for pole beans give this variety a trial. It has reached first place on the list solely on its merit as it is enormously productive, pods hanging in great clusters from top to bottom of pole. Entire ly stringless; pods of sil very green color. Can be grown with corn to good advantage. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 45c. By express, 1/2 pk. $ 1.00, pk. $1.75.

[Image of basket of bean pods, with legend A Single Picking from One Vine. and labelled Old Homestead]

Lazy Wife. One of the most popular pole beans and we presume it derived its name from its immense productive ness, and from the which they are cooked. The pods, of medium dark-green color, are produced in great abundance, and measure from 4 1/2 to 6 inches in length. The pods retain their rich, tender and stringless qualities until nearly ripe. The white beans are large, round, plump and cook quickly so tht they make excellent winter shell beans. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 45c. By express, 1/2 pk. $ 1.10, pk. $2.00.

Speckled Cut Short. The old-fashioned cornfield bean so popular and often so difficult to obtain. It is a favorite because it seems to thrive among the corn better than most pole varieties. This is a great advantage to those who must depend upon the corn for support of running beans. It is well known and very popular with planters in the middle west and south, and is of good quality and a good yielder. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 45c. By express, 1/2 pk. $ 1.00, pk. $1.75.

[Image of bean plant and bean pod labelled Lazy Wife's Pole Bean]

Golden Cluster Waz. Generally con sidered the best of all wax pole beans. It bears profusely its long, golden yellow pods in clusters of three to six, from bottom to top of pole, and continues in bear ing from the middle of July till the vines are cut by frost. Pods are seven to eight inches long and three-fourths of an inch in width. They are quite flat but fleshy, abso lutely stringless, very brittle and delicious. Crop very small this year and may not be sufficient to suppy the demand. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 15c, qt. 50c. By express, 1/2 pk. $ 1.25, pk. $2.25.

Scarlet Runner. Valuable for table use or as an ornamental vine. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 20c, qt. 55c. By express, 1/2 pk. $1.25 , pk. $2.00.

Arabian Runner. Similar to the Scarlet Runner. Flowers white, striped scarlet. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 20c, qt. 75c.

Beets

One ounce sows 50 feet of drill; 4 and 6 lbs. for one acre.

For early, sow as soon as ground can be workied, and about the Middle of May for general crop, in drills 15 inches agard and 1 1/2 inches deep. As the plants grow, thin to 6 inches in drills. Young plants make excellent greens. Seed will germinate more freely if soaked in warm water twenty-four hours before sowing; but care should be taken not to plant soaked seed in very dry ground. The soil should be a deep, rich loam.

[image of beet labelled Market Gardeners' Beet]

Improved Market Gardeners. Undoubtly one of the best barieties ever introduced, and receives much praise from our customers each year. As will be noted by engraving, it is very symmetrical, with small tap root and but fewl fibrous roots. Unusually small tops. Although on some soils the Egyptian can be marketed a few daay s before Market Gardeners, still within a week it will be found larger than Egyptian, while it continues to grow until late in the fall, attaining a large size, and making a good eating and selling beet for the winter. One sowing only is necessary to product early beets for market and main crop for winter use, which is not the case with any other variety. Color deep blood red; fine grained and unsurpassed in quality. Summing it all up, we find in it the best beet for early market, the best beet for winter use. Owing to the small tops permitting them to grow close together, and the popular shape of the bulb, it is the most profitable beet for market gardener and family gardens. Pkt. 10 c, oz. 20c, 1/4 lb. 60c, lb. $ 2.00.

[image of beet and cross-section of beet, labelled Detroit Dark Red]

Detriot Dark Red. One of the best varie ties grown for main crop. The roots are round, very smooth, of good marketable size, and for table use no variety can excel it in fine quality. The skin is deep blood red; the flest is alo dark red aand is sweet and tender. Pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, 1/4 lb. 50c, lb. $1.75 .

Dewing's Improved Blood Turnip. Improve ment on the old Early Blood Turnip. Globe-sahape, deep blood red color, fine flavor, a good seller and generally considered the most desirable variety for main crop\ and winter use. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 30c, lb. $1.00 .

Golden Globe. A choice European variety fully equal, and by many considered superiour to the red sorts in sweetness and flavor, but both the skin and flesh are of bright yellow color. When cut up in a dish with the red beets, they make a handsome contrast. They ma ture early and are so sweet and nice that they should become popular. Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, 1/4 lb. 40c, lb. $1.25 .

Long Dark Blood. Our stock of this standard sort is greatly improved, smooth, sweet and tender. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 30c, lb. $ 1.00.

[Image of four long beets in basket, labelled long dark blood]

Early Crimson Globe. A very early variety, of spherical form. Skin very smooth and it is as handsome as a beet as you can imagine. It is of rich, deep red color, shading to purple. Its flavor cannot be surpassed. When cooked it is of even, dark color throughout, and is attractive when on the table. Of uniform shape and size. Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, 1/4 lb. 45c, lb. $1.50 .

Eclipse. This variety has become exceedingly popular and is one of the best early sorts. It possesses all the qualities requisite in a first-class beet, and is of a uniform globular shape. The roots are a bright, glossy red, fine grained and delicious. Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, 1/4 lb. 40c, lb. $1.25 .

Mixed Table Beets. COntaining several varieties which will mature in succession so that one planting will give a sup ply all summer. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 30c, lb. $1.00 .

Crosby's Improved Egyptian. We believe this to be the earliest variety. Great improve ment on the old Egyp tian, being thicker, handsomer and more regular in shape, smooth with small tops and small tap root. Takes on its turnip shape and looks well even in early stages of growth. It is preferred for forcing to any other variety, therefore this is a decided advantage for a market where beets are sold in bunches. Very popular with Des Moines market gardeners for this pur pose. Being a rapid grower it may be sown outside as late as July. Pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, 1/4 lb. 50c, lb. $ 1.75.

[image of beet labelled Crosby's Improved Egyptian]

Giant Lucullus Chard. Chard beets are growing in pop ularity. As two different dishes can be prepared from a single plant its utility is at once ap parent. From our illustration will be noted the thick, broad stalks, as large as rhubarb, which are prepared and served in the same manner as aspara gus. The leaves are used for "greens"; considered by many superior to spinach for this use. When grown on rich soil enor mous stalks and leaves are pro duced, exceedingly tender and easily prepared. Pkt. 5c, oz. 15c, 1/4 lb. 40c, lb. $ 1.25.

Iowa Seed Company, Des Moines, Iowa.

Mangel and Sugar Beets for Stock.

Extensively grown in all parts of the country for feeding stock. Sow in April or May in drills three feet apart, and thin to ten inches in the row If your soil is deep and mellow, try the long varieties; if shallow the round kinds will do better. No crop pays the farmer and stockraiser better than mangels; 1,000 bushels to the acre is an ordinary yield, while, with good culture, 2,339 bushels have been grown to this amount of ground. It costs, counting labor, use of ground and everything, less than $50 to raise an acre of mangels and gather and store them. This, for an ordinary yield, is a cost of only five cents per bushel. They make the cheapest of foods for all kinds of live stock-- horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, etc. Easily grown, and they help to keep stock in good condition and free from disease. Dairymen claim that a bushel of mangels and a bushel of corn are worth more than two bushels of corn. Full directions for culture and storing mangels, will be sent on application. Use five pounds to an acre. Prices quoted by express are not prepaid.

Prices are extremely high this season owing to crop failures, Considering conditions our prices are low.

Cabbage

One ounce will produce about 3,000 plants. Set 3,000 to 10,000 plants per acre, of early sorts, and 6,000 of large, late kinds.

No vegetable is of greater importance than cabbage, and compared with the cost of seed, there is more money in growing cabbage than any other crop. It does not pay, therefore, to take any risk in buying seed. We have had our cabbage seed grown by the same growers for about sixteen years past, and it has proven of uniformly excellent quality, os that we pride ourselves on having the purest and highest grade of cabbage seed that is offered, or at least it is surpassesd by none. The cabbage requires a deep, rich soil and thorough working to insure good, solid, full sized heads. Sow early short in hotbeds in February or March, or in open, shallow drills six inches apart. WHen the plants are four inches high transplant to rows three feet apart. Our pack ets contain about 800 seeds. Slug Shot and tobacco dust are used to kill insects and worms.

Extra Early Express. The earliest variety in existence and produces rather small heads long before the Jersey Wake field or other varieties have begun to head up. Heads solid, have few outside leaves, and can therefore be planted very close and yield a large crop. It is a most important variety for the gar dener. Pkt. 5c, 1/4 lb. 45c, lb. $150.

[Image of cabbage and George Washington, labeled New Washington Wakefield]

Johnson's First Crop. Ten days earlier than the earliest Jersey Wakefield. Heads conical, but not quite so pointed as Wakefield. The heads are remarkably large, hard and solid for so early a sort, and it is unsurpassed in quality. Is a strong, vigorous grower, and heads up well, so that there will be very few culls in the crop. You can com mand the early market if you grow this variety. Pkt. 5c, oz. 25c, 1.4 lb. 75c, lb. $2.50.

Early Jersey Wakefield. COnsidered by many gardeners the very best first early variety. Of large size for so early a kind and is certainly deserving of its great popularity. Heads hard and solid, and have few outside leaves. Our seed is highest quality, American grown. Pkt. 5c, oz. 25c, 1/4 lb. 75c, 1lb. $250.

New Washington Wakefield. A grand va riety, a trifle later than Jersey Wakefield; produces much larger heads, of perfect pyramidal shape, very solid, with few outside leaves. One cabbaage grower who is enthusiatic in its praise says: "It os first in head, first in market, and firest in the hearts of gar deners." Grows remarkably uniform, heads are of even size and shape. Unequaled for market or fam ily garden. Pct. 5c, oz. 25c, 1/4 lb. 73c, lb. $250.

Early Summer. Ten or twelve days later than Jer sey Wakefield; much larger in size and will stand on the ground much longer without bursting open. Pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, 1/4 lb. 60c, lb. $2.00.

[Image of 4 cabbages, labeled All Head Early]

Cabbage Plants Early or Late on page 38

All Seasons. (Vander gaw.) This excellent sort is as early has Henderson's Sum mer, maturing a week or ten days after All Head Early; makes larger and harder heads than either of the above sorts. It is truly an all-seasons variety as it is fine for summer market and the heads are so large, thick and solid that it is excellent for keeping through the winter. If desired for win ter use it should be planted later than for extra early market. Pkt. 5c, oz. 25c, 1/4 lb. 75c, lb. $2.50.

Burpee's All-Head Early. This is the earliest of the flat headed cabbages, being fully a week earlier than other sorts of this type. It is of larger size than the early varieties generally, of perfect shape and makes exceptionally solid heads. It was orig inated by the late C.L. Allen, of Long Island, N.Y., but named by Mr. Burpee, who purchased the first crop and gave it his name. Our sesed is grown from the original stock by Mr. Allen's son, who continues the business, so that we have a good stock as can be purchased. We recommend this as an exceedingly desirable vari ety for early cropping. Pkt. 5c, oz. 25c, 1/4 lb. 75c, lb. $250.
