“OLD HOMESTEAD.” This we regard as far ahead of any other green Pole Bean. In our trial 
grounds last summer it was fit for the table on August Ist, which was at least ten days earlier 
than any other green climbing sort. It is enormously productive, the pods hanging in great clus- 
ters from top to bottom of the pole. Itis entirely stringless, andthe podsare asilvery green color, 
resembling the popular Refugee Bush Bean. The pods, though large, cook tender and melting, 
and we can recommend it as the best green Pole Bean. 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.50 peck. 
“GOLDEN CHAMPION.” This is certain to be the leading Early Wax Pole Bean, as it is fully 
two weeks earlier than the Golden Cluster Wax Pole, being fit to pick on July 24th of last year. 
The pods are enormous, resembling the Yosemite Wax in size and form; color light yellow. 
They are absolutely stringless and cook tender. The Golden Champion was the only Wax Pole 
Bean that did not rust or spot badly in 
our trial grounds last summer. Every 
garden should contain the ‘Golden 
Champion” and ‘Old Homestead.” 
(See cut.) 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 50c. qt., 
$3.00 peck. 
Horticultural or Speckled Cranberry.

$1.50 peck. 
SCARLET RUNNER. A great favorite, 
both ornamental and useful. Height, 
ten feet, presenting dazzling scarlet 
flowers, from July to October. Used 
both as a string bean and shelled. 
Seeds, when ripe, lilac, mottled black. 
10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c¢. qt., $2.00 peck. 
White Dutch Runner. Similar to the 
preceding, excepting seeds and flowers, 
which are white. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 
35c. qt., $2.00 peck. 
| German Wax Pole. One of the best 
varieties either for snaps or shelled in 
the green state. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 
35c. qt., $2.00 peck.

We GARLY GOLDEN 
CLUSTER WAX. 
= 2 aa ue Begins to bear early in July and 
continues until frost. The pods are six to eight inches long, are most freely produced, 
and are of a beautiful golden yellow; the flayor is most delicious. Can be used either 
shelled or as a string bean. (See cut.) 15e. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.25 peck. 
PoLeE LimxA BEANS. — 
LARGE WHITE LIMA. With nearly every one the seeds, either green or ripe, of 
this variety are considered the most tender and delicious of the Bean family, and it is 
therefore universally grown both for market and family use. The ripe seeds are 
flattish kidney shape, and havea dull white color. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.00 peck. 
DREER’S IMPROVED LIMA. The distinctive features of this are early maturity, 
large yield and extra quality. The bean itself is thick and round, rather than oval- 
shaped, as most other Limas are. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.00 peck. 
JERSEY EXTRA EARLY LIMA. In our experience with it from year to year, we 
have found it invariably ten days to two weeks earlier than any other Pole Lima. 
The pods of it have been large enough to pick July 24th, and have been sold in the 
New York markets a week later. The beans are atrifle smaller than those of the 
Large White Lima, but are all the better on that account, as small beans are always 
considered preferable, being more tender and delicious. Every one desiring a Pole 
Lima Bean should plant the Jersey Extra Early, as it combines, better than any other, 
quantity, quality and earliness. (See cut.) 5c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.75 peck. 
SMALL LIMA OR SIEVA. A variety of the large White Lima. The pods, however, 
are much smaller, usually about three inches long. It is a little earlier and more 
hardy. The seeds also are smaller, but of the same color as the Large White Lima.
