 from any of the ordinary varieties known. The 

 plant is of robust, upright, self-supporting 

 growth, reaching a height of 30 to 40 inches, the 

 pods are thick and well filled with 4 to 6 large

 withstands the drought well. 



DIRECTIONS. 



Plant in rows about two feet apart and 

 six inches apart in the row, covering

 top of the stalk should be nipped off as

Lazy Wife's Pole Bean.— The pods are five to six inches long, broad, 



thick, very fleshy and entirely stringless, far surpassing all other varieties 



in this respect, and retaining these important qualities until almost 



ripe. Pods are exceedingly rich, buttery and fine flavored. The vines 



cling well to the poles, a very important feature, as, owing to its 



wonderful 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 fine shell or winter bean. Qt. 20c. Pk. $1.25. Bus. $4.75.

The value of these for stock feeding cannot be overestimated. The results from their use are wonderful 

 as is already shown in the improved health and condition of animals, the increased yield of milk in cows, 

 and the great saving of hay. They can be raised at a very trifling cost and yield immense crops per 

 acre if the soil is rich.

Giant Yellow Intermediate. — At the Canadian Experiment Station, in a test of 18 varieties 

 of Mangels, this variety gave the largest yield. The roots grow to a nice oval shape, 

 intermediate between the globe and long Mangels. They grow fully half above ground, so 

 that they are very easily harvested. They attain a very large size and yield enormous crops 

 on rich land. The roots keep perfectly all winter and are fine grained and excellent for 

 feeding. */ 2 lb. 15c. Lb. 25c. 5-Lbs. $1.00.
