Currie's Rust-Proof Golden Wax— A variety of 

 very superior merit, and one that is unequaled by any 

 other Wax Bean in its many excellent qualities. It is 

 positively proof against rust, that most inveterate and 

 destructive enemy of the Bean. For while grown side by 

 side, for several years, with other Wax Beans, all of them 

 more or less affected by rust, many of them completely 

 ruined by it, this Bean has remained entirely free from 

 rust. Not only is it rust-proof, but it possesses the most 

 excellent and most desirable quality of being always ex- 

 ceedingly crisp and tender, with no approach 

 whatever to stringiness, and of a most delicious flavor; 

 whereas, as is well known among the few Beans which are 

 said to be nearly rust-proof, there is not one that is not 

 rendered almost unfit for use, owing to the tough, stringy 

 texture of the pods, and their poor flavor. Not the least 

 among the good qualities of this Bean is its enormous pro- 

 ductiveness, and it possesses the further merit of being the 

 earliest of all Wax Beans. 



Pkt., 5 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts.; peck, $1.35; 

 bushel, $4.50. 



Improved Prolific Black Wax— This Bean origi- 

 nated from the old Black Wax, but is much superior to its 

 parent. It is much more productive and the pods are 

 longer, straighter and rounder. 



Pkt., 5 cts.; pint, 20 cts.; quart, 35 cts.; peck, $1.00; 

 bushel, $3.50. 



Black Wax or Butter— A round podded variety of 

 excellent flavor, great cropper, seeds black when ripe. 

 • Pkt., 5 cts.; pint, 20 cts.; quart, 35 cts. ; peck, $1.00; 

 bushel, $3.50. 



BEANS— English or Broad. 



German, ©artenbofjne. French, Feve de Marais. 



Plant early in spring in rows about 4 feet apart, seed 4 inches apart in the 

 row and 2 inches deep. As soon as the lower pods are set, pinch the top off 

 the plant to insure well-filled pods. Perfectly hardy. 



Broad Windsor— The best. 



Pkt., 5 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts. 



HENDERSON'S NEW BUSH 



LIMA BEAN. 



BEANS— Bush Lima. 



Jackson Wonder Dwarf Lima-An extraordinarily productive variety, with 

 broad, flat pods, similar in shape to the Small Lima. The pods may be used as Snap 

 Beans when young, and when filled shelled as Lima Beans. 



Pkt., 5 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; quart, 50 cts.; peck, $2.25; bushel, $8.00. 



Burpee's Bush Lima— Grows about 20 inches high. Beans about the size of large 

 Pole Limas. Pkt., 5 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; quart, 50 cts.; peck, $2.00; bushel, $7.00. 



Henderson's Bush Lima— The earliest and most productive of all the Bush 

 Limas, coming in directly after the Green and Wax podded sorts; it is therefore a de- 

 cided acquisition, filling up the gap between the Dwarf and Pole Beans. It is of true 

 Bush form, and will come into bearing the latter part of July and continue yielding an 

 enormous crop of delicious Beans all through the summer. 



Pkt., 5 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts., peck, $1.50; bushel, $5.00.
