CROSMAN BROTHERS' CATALOGUE. ARTICHOKE. German, 21rtid)otc. French, Artichaut. The flower-heads in their immature state contain the edible part, which consists of that portion of the fleshy receptacle which adheres to the scales, called the bottom. It is entirely different from and preferable to the Jerusalem Artichoke, which produces tubers. Sow in April, in rich soil, and transplant the following spring to permanent beds, in rows (or hills) three feet apart, and two feet between the plants. The plantation, first season, will give only a partial crop, but as it is a perennial, after being once planted, the bed will remain in bearing for years. It requires a deep, rich loam, and should be protected in winter by a covering of leaves or coarse manure. Pkt. Cts. Large Green Globe, best for general culture, oz. 30c 10 BEANS, (dwarf or bush.) German, SBotjncii. French, Haricots. A warm, light soil is best adapted to Beans, but they will thrive in any garden soil. Plant as soon as safe from frost and the ground becomes warm and dry, in hills, two inches deep ; put five or six beans in a hill; or in drills two feet apart, and two inches deep ; drop the beans two inches from each other. Drills are ad- viged for garden use. One pint of ordinary sized beans will sow about one hundred feet of drill or about the same number of hills. The dwarf varieties grow about eighteen inches high and require no support. Keep clean by frequent hoeing, always when the leaves are dry. GREEN PODDED VARIETIES. Emperor William, the earliest of all beans ; pods very large, flat, and borne in great profusion ; good either shelled or dry : seeds white. Pt. 25c 10 Early Ked Valentine, very early, productive and tender ; used principally for string beans. Pt. 20c 10 White Valentine, the seed of this bean being white gives it additional value, as it can be used green as a snap bean or as a winter shelled bean. Pt. 25c ; qt. 45c 10 Early Mohawk, excellent for string beans, tender and early, very productive, and hardy enough to endure light frost. Pt. 20c 10 Early Yellow Six Weeks, (Long) a hardy and prolific variety ; seeds pale yellowish drab ; fine for string beans. Pt. 20c 10 Early China, a very excellent early variety, both for string and shelled beans, green or dry ; prolific, and is a standard sort; seeds white with red eye. Pt. 20c 10 1' xl ra Early Refugee, has all the superior qualities of the famous Kefugee, and is fully two weeks earlier in podding. Pt. 20c 10 Refugee, or 1,000 to 1, hardy ; one of the best for pickling. Pt. 20c.. 10 Burpee's Bush Lima, a bush form of the true Large Lima ; plants uniformly dwarf, bearing very abundantly ; pods as large as those of the Large Limas, and containing from four to six beans ; very large, flat, and of the beet quality. Pt. 30c, J pt. 20c 10 Dreer's Bush Lima, a dwarf form of Lima, having thicker pods and beans than the Burpee Bush Lima, and by many considered even better in quality. Pt. 25c, ipt. 15c 10 Broad Windsor, very hardy and excellent for general use. To insure well- filled pods pinch off the tops as soon as the lower pods begin to set. Pt. 25c 10 EARLY RED VALENTINE.
