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 furnish pints at one-half the quart price. Packages contain about two ounces. Price includes postage except at peck and half peck rates. Deduct 15c from quart rate if to be shipped by express. All varieties of beans are scarce owing to the crop fail ure in many sections 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 golden yellow color and of perfect shape. For family or market you make no mistake in planting them. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 20c, qt. 50c. By express, 1/2 pk. $1.10, pk. $2.00.
CHALLENGE BLACK WAX.--Earlier, more productive and of better quality than the old Black Wax. Pods tender, round, fleshy and stringless. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 20c, qt. 50c. By express, 1/2 pk. $1.00, pk. $1.85.
[Images] WARDWELL'S KIDNEY WAX BEAN SILVER WAX
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; excels 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. 20c, qt. 50c. By express, 1/2 pk. $1.00, pk. $1.75.

[Image] HENDERSON'S DWARF LIMA
HENDERSON'S BUSH LIMA. - grows in compact 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 from the middle of July until frost. Enormously productive. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 20c, qt. 50c; by express, 1/2 pk. $1.10, pk $2.00.
[Image] ERFURT
ERFURT EARLY PROLIFIC BROAD. - We have had inquiries 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 Windsor does not succeed well in this country. When travelling through England we found that they had a greatly improved variety which was very much earlier, more prolific and resisted drouth [drought] and rust better 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 variety 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 earliness. Pkt. 10c, 1/2 pt. 20c, qt. 50c, postpaid. By freight, 1/2 pk. $1.10, pk. $2.00.
BURPEE'S BUSH LIMA. - A dwarf or 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. 20c, qt. 50c. 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.
POLE BEANS
Plant from five to six seeds in each hill, about two inches deep; one quart will plant 100 to 150 hills.
[Image] OLD HOMESTEAD
OLD HOMESTEAD. - Increasing in popularity each year. We recommend it as among the most productive varieties, while for snap beans it is unsurpassed in quality. If you can find any place for pole beans give this variety a trial. Has reached first place on list solely on merit as it is enormously productive, pods hanging in great clusters from top to bottom of pole. Entirely stringless; pods of silvery green color. Can be grown with corn to good advantage. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 20c, qt. 50c; by express, 1/2 pk. $1.00, pk. $1.75.
LAZY WIFE. - One of the most popular pole beans and we presume it derived its name from its immense productiveness, and from the ease with 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 make excellent winter shell beans. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 20c, qt. 50c; by exp. 1/2 pk. $1.10, pk. $2.00.
[Image] LAZY WIFE'S POLE BEAN
GOLDEN CARMINE HORTICULTURAL. - This is a great improvement on the old Horticultural variety which was variously known as Wren's Egg and Cranberry bean. It is a week to ten days earlier than the Horticultural, robust grower, producing a crop of large stringless pods of bright golden yellow color when young. As pods approach full size they are mottled and streaked with crimson. Quality and yield unsurpassed by any bean in the list. Specially large and fine flavored as a shell bean though some object to the dark color. Pkt. 10c, 1/2 pt. 20c, qt. 50c; by express, 1/2 pk. $1.10, pk. $2.00.
CUT SHORT. - The old-fashioned cornfield bean, so popular and often so difficult to obtain. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt. 20c, qt. 50c; by express, 1/2 pk. $1.00, pk. $1.75.
[Image] GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX
GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX. - Generally considered 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 bearing 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, absolutely stringless, very brittle and delicious. Crop very small this year and there may not be sufficient to supply the demand. Pkt. 5c, 1/2pt. 20c, qt. 70c; by express, 1/2 pk. $1.70, pk. $3.00.
KING OF THE GARDEN LIMA. - an improvement on the large White Lima, producing a continuous bloom and fruitage to the end of the season. Pods are of enormous size. Pkt. 5c, 1/2 pt, 20c, qt. 50c; by express, 1/2 pk. $1.10, pk. $2.00.

YARD LONG. - A great curiosity but withal an excellent variety. Produces pods 18 to 24 inches long. Specimens in our trial grounds last season reached the enormous length of four feet. Splendid for use in green state as pods are exceedingly tender and of fine flavor. Pkt. 10c, 1/2pt. 35c.
SCARLET RUNNER. - Valuable for table use or as an ornamental vine. Pkt. 5c, 1/2pt. 20c, qt. 55c; by express, 1/2 pk. $1.25, pk. $2.25.
ARABIAN RUNNER. - Similar to the Scarlet Runner. Flowers white, striped scarlet. Pkt. 5c, qt. 85c.

BEETS
[Images] MARKET GARDENERS' BEET EDMAND'S BLOOD TURNIP
One ounce sows 50 feet of drill; 4 to 6 lbs, for one acre. For early, sow as soon as ground can be worked, and about the middle of May for general crop, in drills 15 inches apart 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.
MARKET GARDENERS. - This is undoubtably one of the best varieties ever introduced, and it receives much praise from our customers each year. As will be noted by engraving, it is very symmetrical, with small tap root and but few fibrous roots. Unusually small tops. Although on some soils the Egyptian can be marketed a few days before the Market Gardeners, still within a week it will be found larger than the 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 produce early beets for the 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 it is 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. 5c, oz. 15c, 1/4 lb. 40c, lb. $1.25.
EDMAND'S BLOOD TURNIP. - One of the best varieties 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 flesh is also dark red and is sweet and tender. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4lb. 25c, lb. 75c.
DEWING'S IMPROVED BLOOD TURNIP. - Improvement on the old Early Blood Turnip. Globe-shape, 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. 20c, lb. 60c.
GOLDEN GLOBE. - A choice European variety fully equal, and by many considered superior to the red sorts in sweetness and flavor, but both the skin and the flesh are of bright yellow color. When cut up in a dish with the red beets, they make a handsome contrast. They mature early and are so sweet and nice that they should become popular. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 30c, lb. $1.00.
LONG DARK BLOOD. - Our stock of this standard sort is greatly improved, smooth, sweet and tender. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 20c, lb. 50c.
[Images] EXTRA EARLY CRIMSON GLOBE BEET. LONG DARK BLOOD
EARLY CRIMSON GLOBE. - A very early variety, of spherical form. Skin very smooth and it is as handsome 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. 10c, 1/4 lb. 30c, lb. 85c.
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, with none of that earthy flavor so objectionable in many varieties. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 25c, lb. 75c.
CROSBY'S IMPROVED EGYPTIAN. - We believe this to be the earliest variety existing. A great improvement on the old Egyptian, being thicker, handsomer and more regular in shape, smooth with very small tops and tap root. Takes on its turnip shape and looks well even in the early stages of its growth, on which account it is preferred for forcing to any other variety, a decided advantage for a market where beets are sold in bunches. Very popular with Des Moines market gardeners for this purpose. Preferred for forcing in frames or for first sowing outside; being a rapid grower it may be sown outside as late as July. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 30c, lb. $1.00.
GIANT LUCULLUS CHARD. - A variety of special merit. The chard beets are growing in popularity. As two different dishes can be prepared from a single plant its utility is at once apparent. From our illustration will be noted the thick, broad stalks, as large as rhubarb, which are prepared and served in the same manner as asparagus. The leaves are used for ''greens'': considered by many superior to spinach for this use. When grown on rich soil enormous stalks and leaves are produced, exceedingly tender and easily prepared. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 30c, lb. $1.
[Images] CROSBY'S IMPROVED EGYPTIAN GIANT LUCULLUS CHARD BEET
SWISS CHARD or Silver Beet. - The dark green leaved variety. Is superior to common beet for greens. Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, 1/4 lb. 25c, lb. 75c.
GROW MANGELS, CARROTS, RUTA BAGA AND OTHER ROOTS FOR STOCK. THEY MAKE GOOD FEED
9
IOWA SEED COMPANY, DES MOINES, IOWA 7
MANGELS & 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 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.

Column 1
MAMMOTH GOLDEN GIANT- An improvement on the long yellow mangel, being of considerably greater size, more than half above ground and of a more grayish or rather russet yellow. Remarkably even in shape, rather elongated, of vigorous growth; has a fine neck and a very smooth skin; flesh white, firm and sweet; much liked by cattle. In short, a magnificent root, easily lifted from ground, producing enormous crops. Excellent keeper; yields 40 to 60 tons per acre. Oz. 5c, 1/4 lb. 20c, lb. 50c. By express, not pre-paid, 5 lbs. for $1.75
CHAMPION YELLOW GLOBE - The finest type yellow globe in cultivation. Roots immense size, fine shape, small tap root, neat top. Flesh being very firm and fine grained renders it an excellent keeping variety. Well adapted to shallow soils and has a record of producing 100 TONS PER ACRE. This immense crop was grown by sowing seed in drills 14 inches apart and thinning to 10 inches in the row. Our seed of this variety is particularly choice. Per oz. 5c, 1/4 lb. 20c, 1lb. 45c. By express, 5 lbs. or more at 30c per lb.
GIANT HALF SUGAR MANGEL. - A hybrid or cross between the Mammoth Long Red and Sugar Beet and for our own feeding we have found it superior to either. Being sweeter, both cattle and hogs relish them greatly. Per oz. 5c, 1/4 lb. 15c, lb. 40c. By express, 5 lbs. or more at 25c per lb.
I grew a Dignity Mangel weighing 35 lbs. and they were the finest I ever raised. - Mrs. A. Hickman, Mecca, Mo.
[Image of a large mangel beet] KLEIN WANZLEBEN
Column2
DIGNITY LONG RED - Improvement on the Mammoth Long Red by careful selection for a number of years. Stands head and shoulders above all other varieties of mangels; unexcelled for yielding and feeding qualities. Grows to a very large size, weighing from 20 to 50 lbs., and will yield 50 tons per acre with ordinary good cultivation. Thousands of western farmers have grown our Dignity Mangel and call it the most profitable farm crop they ever tried. If you want large crops of large mangels of good quality, don't fail to try Dignity. It is very uniform, smooth and of good shape. Should be grown on deep, loose soil. Per oz. 5c, 1/4 lb. 15c, lb. 40c. By express, 5 lbs. at 30c per lb.
GOLDEN TANKARD - Best for dairy farming. Considered indispensable among English dairy farmers; it is stated by them they are able to obtain a higher price for milk when feeding cows on Golden Tankard. Sheep thrive on it. Other mangels cut white, circled with yellow, but this is of a rich, deep yellow throughout. Early, hardy, a heavy cropper, and on account of shape the roots can grow close in rows. Oz. 5c, 1/4 lb. 20c, lb. 45c. By express, 5 lbs or more at 35c per lb.
KLEIN-WANZLEBEN SUGAR BEET. - This is the variety which is cultivated on a larger scale for the beet sugar factories than any other as it usually yields fifteen to twenty per cent of sugar. Root is of shape shown in our illustration, straight, tapering evenly and somewhat screw shape. Our seed is grown in Germany from beets which were tested as to per cent of sugar before setting out. The heavy per cent of sugar makes it also the great value for feeding. Per oz. 5c, 1/4 lb. 15c, lb. 40c. By express, 5 lbs. at 30c per lb.
LANE'S IMPERIAL SUGAR BEET. - An improvement on the White French Sugar Beet. Recommended as hardier, more productive, yielding 35 to 40 tons to the acre. It is larger than other varieties and will yield more, but is not as sweet, containing only about 8 per cent of sugar. Greatly liked for stock feeding, and preferred by some to mangels. Per oz. 5c, 1/4 lb. 15c, lb. 40c. By express, 5 lbs. or more at 25c.

CABBAGE One ounce will produce about 3,000 plants. Set 8,000 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 growing cabbage than any other crop. It does not pay, therefore, to take any risk in buying seed. We have our cabbage seed grown by the same growers for about sixteen years past, and it has proven uniformly excellent quality, so that we pride ourselves on having the purest and highest grade of cabbage seed that is offered, or at least it is surpassed by none. The cabbage requires a deep, rich soil and thorough working to ensure good, solid full-sized heads. Sow early sorts in hot-beds in February or March, or in open, shallow drills six inches apart. When the plants are four inches high transplant varieties three feet apart. Packets contain about 800 seeds. Slug Shot and tobacco dust are used to kill insects and worms.
[Image of large cabbage head] Johnson's First Crop
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, vigerous grower, and heads up well, so that there will be very few culls in the crop. You can command the early market if you grow this variety. Pkt. 10c, oz. 35c, 1/4 lb. $1.00, lb $3.50. EXTRA EARLY EXPRESS- The earliest variety in existence and produces rather small heads long before the Jersey Wakefield 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 gardener. Pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, 1/4 lb. 50c, lb. $1.75. 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, lb. $2.50. NEW WASHINGTON WAKEFIELD- A grand variety, a trifle later than Jersey Wakefield; produces much larger heads of perfect pyramidal shape, very solid, and with few outside leaves. One cabbage grower who is enthusiastic in its praise says: "It is first in head, first in market, and first in the hearts of gardeners." Grows remarkably uniform, the heads are of even size and shape. Unequaled for market or family garden. Pkt. 5c, oz. 25c, 1/4 lb. 75c, lb. $2.50 EARLY SUMMER- Ten or twelve days later than Jersey Wakefield; much larger in size and will stand on the ground much longer without 20c, 1/4 lb. 60c, lb. $2.00.
[Illustration of New Washington Wakefield cabbage and George Washington]
ALL SEASONS- (Vandergaw)- This most excellent variety is as early as Henderson's Summer, coming to maturity a week or ten days after All Head Early, and 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 winter use it should be planted later than for extra early market. Pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, 1/4 lb. 65c, lb $2.25.
CABBAGE PLANTS Early or Late on page 38
[Illustration of cabbage] All Head Early
BURPEE'S ALL-HEAD EARLY- This is the earliest of the flat-headed cabbages, being full 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 originated 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 seed is grown from the original stock by Mr. Allen's son, who continued the business, so that we have as good as stock as can be purchased. We recommend this as an exceedingly desireable variety for early cropping. Pkt. 5c, oz. 20c, 1/4 lb. 60c, lb. $2.00. HENDERSON'S SUCCESSION- An excellent variety of large size and with flat head maturing in midsummer. It can be brough to perfection in the hottest weather or may be used as an autumn or winter crop. Heads average 10 or 12 inches in diameter, but are frequently larger, the average weight of head being about 12 lbs. A good fall cabbage. Pkt, 5c, oz. 25c, 1/4 lb. 75c, lb. $2.50.
