VEGETABLE SEED SPECIALTIES AND 

 LATE INTRODUCTIONS. 



SUTTON'S MASTERPIECE BEAN — A favorite forcing or greenhouse variety in this country, 

 and valuable also as an outdoor sort. It is dwarf in habit, growing 12 to 15 inches high, ro- 

 bust in constitution, very prolific and quite early, its first pods being ready for use soon after 

 planting. The pods produced outside are 7 to 9 inches long by % of an inch wide when fully 

 grown, but we find should be picked when young, being at that time tender, solid and meaty. 

 Greenhouse grown pods average 6 to 6% inches in length and are beautiful to look upon and 

 a delight to eat. Packet 15c; pint 35c; quart 60c. 

 CURRIE'S RUST-PROOF WAX BEAN — The Earliest and Most Prolific of all Wax Beans. Ten- 

 der and Absolutely Stringless, and Proof Against Rust. Grown side by side with other "Wax 

 Beans, all of them more or less affected by rust, this Bean remains entirely free from rust. 

 Pods uniform in size, long, straight, flatfish oval, and of a most delicious flavor when cooked. 

 Pkt. 10c; pint 25c; quart 55c; % peck $2.10; peck $4.00. 

 ASPARAGUS, OR YARD BEAN — This Bean derives its name from the manner in which it is 

 served and from the extraordinary length of its pods. It is a vigorous climber, reaching a con- 

 siderable height and bears an abundance of tender, delicious, light-green pods, 2% to 3 feet 

 in length. The seed should be planted inside in pots for transplanting outside when the 

 weather permits. A good position outside is against a north wall, although trellis growing is 

 entirely practicable. Packet 20c. 

 KENTUCKY WONDER WAX POLE BEAN — A comparatively new Pole Bean with the general 

 characteristics of the old Kentucky Wonder, but bright golden-yellow, wax-podded Instead of 

 green and distinctly superior in quality. It Is early and vigorous, making a rapid growth and 

 beginning to bear when half grown, and is immensely productive, the long, straight pods con- 

 tinuing to form until the vine Is cut down by hard frost in the fall. The pods run 8 to 9 

 inches in length and are fleshy, stringless, tender and of fine flavor when cooked. On account 

 of the extreme scarcity of Dwarf Beans this year large quantities undoubtedly of this variety 

 for the wax-podded and of the old Kentucky Wonder or of White Kentucky Wonder for the 

 green-podded will be planted during the coming season, and as these varieties are well- 

 adapted to northern conditions we have no hesitation in recommending this substitution. Pkt. 

 10c; pint 20c; quart 35c; % peck $1.20; peck $2.25; bushel $8.00. ^sparagd^'beSj '^

 midribs are often served like Asparagus. It forms a tall, fine head, weighing 4
