 ing growth, reaching a height of 30 to 40 

 inches, the pods are thick and well filled with 

 4 to 6 large beans in the pod, somewhat larger 

 than the ordinary lima. They are more hardy

ERFURT BROAD BEANS 



/horticultural Pole £eans. 



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 im- 

 portant 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 con- 

 tinue to bear profusely the entire season. The beans when dry are 

 round, pure white, and also make a fine shell or winter bean. Qt., 25c; 

 peck, $1.25; bush., $4.75. 



Horticultural, Cranberry, or Wren's Egg.— This is a popu- 

 lar 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 

 broad, thick and fleshy. As they mature, both the pods and dry beans 

 become thickly striped with rich carmine markings. Qt., 20c; peck, 

 $1.25. 



Red Speckled, Cut Short, or 

 Corn Hill. — An old variety, very popular 

 for planting among corn, and will give a 

 good crop without poles. Vines medium, 

 not twining tightly, pods short, round and 

 tender. Qt., 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

 creased or "saddle-backed." They are solidly fleshy, entirely stringless and of fine quality. 

 The dry seed is pure white and excellent for winter use. Qt., 2^c; peck, $1 .25.

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

 ful, 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. te«is3 ~ ; 



Ktd Giant Mangel. — A large, well formed variety, blood-red color; very nutritious and 

 favored wherever used. % lb., 10c; lb., 25c; 5 lbs., $1.00. 



Lane's Improved Susrar. — An American variety, and the best stock-feeding Beet for 

 this country. It is not so sweet as the French Sugar Beets grown especially for sugar-mak- 

 ing, but the roots are longer and fine grained, very sweet. Pkt., 5c; % lb., 10c; lb., 25c 



Gol<len Tankard. — An extremely desired and comparatively new variety, which is fast 

 superseding the old sorts. Flesh bright yellow, and in this respect differs from all other 

 varieties which cut white. % lb., 10c; lb., 25c; 5 lbs., $1.00. 



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 feed- 

 ing. y z lb., 15c; lb., 25c; 5 lbs., $1.00.
