PENCIL POD BLACK WAX BEANS.-This new bean has been most enthusiastically praised by all who have 

 grown it. It is 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 magnificent straight, golden-yellow 

 pods. Decidedly better than old Black Wax. Price, pt, 10c; qt., 20c; pk.,$l,25; bush., $5.00.

 stringless. Pint, 10 cents; quart, 20 cents; gallon, 75 cents; peck, $1.25; bushel, $5.00.

CULTURE OF POLE BEANS.- 

 viously spaded deeply and fertilized. Plant long pole two feet deep in the center of the hills, 

 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.

CHERRY POLE or HORTICULTURAL POLE BEAN. (Cut short).— Vines 

 moderately vigorous, with large, light-colored leaves; pods short, pale green, but be- 

 comingly streaked with bright red; beans large, ovate, splashed and spotted with wine 

 red and of the highest quality either green or dry. Many people like them better than 

 Limas. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 15 cents; quart, 25 cents; gallon 85 cents; bushel, $6.50. 



GOLDEN CARMINE WAX HORTICULTURAL.— This new pole bean is strik- 

 ingly 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 shelled, either green or dry; very 

 large pods, are 6 to 8 inches lone, straight and very broad. Pint, 15 cents; quart, 30 

 cents; gallon 85 cents: peck, $1.70. 



OLD HOMESTEAD. (Improved Kentucky Wonder.) — This variety is one of the 

 most desirable and earliest of all the green-podded running varieties. It is enormously 

 productive, the pods hanging in great clusters from top to_ bottom of pole; are of a 

 silvery-green color and entirely stringless; they cook deliciously tender and melting.
