a Pole Lima Heans.—stangen-Bohnen. 
1 quart to 150 hills. 8 to 10 quarts to the acre. 
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 al! of excellent quality, 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 soil at the base of the pole before planting 
the seed. 
Vf foras Mammoth Podded.—tThis grand Lima Bean is the result of over twenty 
rears’ 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 fiye 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. : 
[7 Seibert’ Early Lima.—tThe earliest true Pole Lima Bean. The vine is very vig- 
rous and 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 
me and must come to be recognized as one of the best of all for either the garden or 
mafket. 
Quart, 25c.; peck, $1.25; bush., $5.00. 
& King ot the Garden.—A vigorous grower, bearing profusely large pods, varying 
Vin length from five to six inches, beans large and of rich flavor. Quart, 25c.; peck, $1.50; 
bysh., $5:50. 
Large White.—Considered by many the most delicious of the bean family, a 
general favorite for home use or market. Quart, 25c.; peck, $1.25 ; bush., $5.00. 
Vf Preer's Im proved.—The distinctive features of this are early maturity, large yield 
d 
extra quality. The bean itself is thick and round, rather than oval-shaped, as most of 
the other Limas are. Quart, 25c.; peck, $1.25; bush. $5.00. 
 #orticultural Pole Beans. 
Golden Carmine Podded.—We offer this season for the first time this new 
strain, which is a wonderful robust grower, a week to 
ten days earlier than Worcester Horticulture Pole. In 
comparison the pods are equally as large, stringless, 
vit bright golden color, when very young. As the pods 
mM lh approach full size they are mottled and streaked with 
H MN an unusual bright carmine color on the bright golden, 
which gives the pods (when ready for market) a 
strikingly beautiful and attractive appearance. This, 
together with its productiveness, will make it the most 
desirable strain of this well known and popular brand. 
Pint, 20c.; quart, 35c.; peck, $2.50. 
[Aan Wife’s Pole Bean.—The pods are five to 
ix inches long, broad, thick, very fleshy 
and entirely stringless, far sur- 
passing all other varieties in this 
respect, and retaining these important 
qualities until almost ripe. Pods are ex- 
ceedingly rich, buttery and fine flavored. 
The vines cling well to the poles, a very 
important feature, as, owing to its won- 
derful productiveness, the weight of a 
vine filled with such a mass of large 
pods is very great. They commence bearing in great abundance when 
the vines are quite young, and continue to bear profusely the entire 
season,’ The beans when dry are round, pure white, and also make a 
a 
fine shell or winter bean. Quart, 25c.; peck, $1.25; bush., $5.00. 
orticultural, Cranberry, or Wren’s Egg.—tThis is a 
popular old variety for either snapshorts or dry 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 
bread, thick and fleshy. As they mature, both the pods and dry beans 
become thickly striped with rich carmine markings. Quart, 20c.; peck, 
$1.257 
Red Speckled, Cut Short, or Corm Hill.—An old variety, 
véry popular for planting among corn, and will give a good crop with- 
out poles. Vines medium, not twining tightly; pods short, round and 
tender. Quart, 20c.; peck, $1.00; bush., $4.00. ) 
White Creaseback.—The best early green-podded pole bean 
“for snapshorts; of rapid growth and very productive. Pods grow in 
clusters and are from five to six inches in length, perfectly round, being 
deeply creased or “‘saddle-backed.’’ They are solidly fleshy, entirely 
stringless and of finest quality. The dry seed is pure white and excel- 
lent for winter use. Quart, 20c.; peck, $1.25. Lazy Wife’s Pole Bean.
