DWARF WAX-PODDED 







HODSON WAX BEANS. A new and entirely distinct type of Wax Beans. Producing a healthy growth of foliage, resists rust 

 and blight, and is remarkably prolific, with long, straight, handsome, light yellow oval-shaped pods, somewhat resembling Ward- 

 well's Kidney Wax. The pods are brittle and tender, and of fine texture. If picked when young, are entirely stringless. Its 

 good qualities and remarkable productiveness make it one of the best late or main crop wax beans for house or market garden. 

 Pint, 15 cents; quart, 25 cents; peck $1.40; 1 bushel, $5.00. 

 PENCIL POD BLACK WAX BEAN. This new bean has been most enthusiastically praised by all who have grown it. It's 

 beautiful yellow pods are straight and from 5 to 7 inches long, well rounded, meaty and deep 

 saddle-backed. They are always solid, brittle and entirely stringless. The plants grow 15 inches 

 high with abundance of large, heavy foliage, under which will be found an enormous crop of mag- 

 nificent straight, golden-yellow pods. Decidedly better than old Black Wax. Price, pt., 10c; 

 qt., 20c; pk., $1.25; bush., $5.00.

CLIMBING, OR POLE BEANS stangen bohnen 



(1 quart to 150 hills; 10 to 12 quarts to the acre.1 Add 15 cents per quart on beans if to be sent by mail. 

 CULTURE OF POL.E BE^NS. Choose light soil and make small hills three feet apart, having previously spaded 

 deeply and fertilized. Plant longr pole two feet deep in the center of the hills. Allow six beans to each hill, covering 

 them barely beneath the surface, their eyes downward. Do not allow more than three to climb a pole, but remove 

 extra plants to hills where less than three have sprouted. The lima bean is very delicate and often, from slight causes, 

 fails to sprout. They should not be planted until the ground is warm. 



LAZY WIFE. One of the best for snaps of the later green podded pole beans. The numerous 

 pods, borne in large clusters, are 5 to 7 inches long, broad, thick, fleshy, and entirely stringless. 

 When young they have a rich, buttery flavor which is retained until they are nearly ripe. The 

 dry beans are excellent for winter use. Seed white. Packet, 10 cents; )/% pint, 20 cents; pint, 35

GOLDEN CARMINE WAX HORTICULTURAL. This new pole bean is strikingly handsome, 

 especially as the golden-yellow pods mature and take on brilliant splashes of bright carmine red. 

 Remarkably good in other points also, being early, very productive and of excellent quality. As 

 a wax-podded snap it is tender, brittle, stringless and fine flavored. It is unsurpassed when
