v/ Ford's Mammotli Podded.— This grand Lima 

 l^ean is the result of over twenty years' selection by James 

 Ford, one of the oldest market gardeners of Pennsylvania. 

 The pods grow to an average length of seven inches, and are 

 produced in great clusters, with from five to seven beans per 

 pod, of most excellent quality, for using either green or dry. 

 The vines grow vigorously, setting the beans early at the 

 bottom of the pole, and continue in bearing right up to 

 frost. Ford's Mammoth Podded is without exception the 

 largest podded, finest flavored and most productive of all 

 Lima Beans. Quart, 25c.; peck, $1.50; bush., $5.50. 



., Seibert's Early Lima.— The earliest true Pole 

 Li^a Bean. The vine is very vigorous aud productive. 

 The pods are large, but thin, and can be more easily opened 

 than those of other varieties. The green beans are large, 

 very handsome and of the best quality. In earliness, ease 

 of shelling, size, beauty and quality of the green beans this 

 variety is superior, and must come to be recognized as one 

 of the best of all for either the garden or market. Quart, 

 2oc^ peck, $1.50; bush., $5.50.

 most of the other Limas are. Quart, 25c.; bu-sh., $5. .50. 



HORTICULTURAL POLE BEANS. 



The pole varieties of Beans are of strong running 

 growth, and need stout poles or other support on which to 

 climb. They require a longer season to mature pods than 

 the bush varieties, but by reason of their stronger growth 

 are more productive, and growing on poles are more easily 

 gathered. The varieties we offer are all of excellent qual- 

 ity, are highly desirable to plant to produce dry^ shell beans 

 for Winter use. When planted in the garden, poles should 

 be set three to four feet apart each way. A shovelful of 

 rich compost or well rotted manure should be placed in the 

 soU.at the base of the pole before planting the seed. 

 ^ Lazy Wife's Pole Bean. — The pods grow from 

 six to eight inches long, entirely stringless, of a rich, buttery- 

 flavor when cooked. Pods retain their tender, rich flavor 

 until nearly ripe. A good white shell bean for Winter use. 

 Quart, 25c.; peck, $1.50; bush., $6.00.

 shell beans, especially adapted for short seasons and cool 

 locations. The vines are of strong growth and productive; 

 pods four to five inches in length, one-half inch broad, 

 thick and fleshy. As they mature, both the pods and dr}- 

 beans become thicklv striped with rich carmine markings. 

 Quart, 20c.; peck, $l'. 25.

 Id variety, very popular for planting among corn, and will

 ing tightly-, pods short, round and tender. Quart, 20c.;
