)LOIAMO ? S=MEW PEARL WA 



A WONDERFUL 



LONG-POD WAX BEAN. 



1031 BOLGIANO'S NEW PEARL WAX BEAN. 



Sunshine Wax Bean. 



1018. The beautiful, clear, attractive, bright golden color of this most 

 delicious Wax Bean gave it the name of the Sunshine Wax. In the mar- 

 ket, side by side with many of the older and better known Wax Beans, 

 the Sunshine Wax shoneout and immediately attracted the attention of all. 

 Thevines are so heavily laden with an abundance of long, round, 

 shapely pods it seems hardly possible that they can hold them all. You 

 think of the Sunshine again when you are marketing a large crop of 

 fine Beans a week or two before your neighbors have begun to pick. 

 Now is your chance; order quick. Our supply is very limited this 

 season. PKt. 10c. Pint 15c. Quart 25c. Gal. 85c. Peck $1.60. 

 Bushel $6.00. 



New Hodson Wax Pod, 



1079. Avery sturdy grower; productive; free from rust and blight. 

 Plants are loaded with long, handsome, straightpods, averaging? inches 

 in length; color of a clean light yellow. When picked young they are 

 stringless, when fully matured they have a slight string. It is distinctly 

 a market-gardener's Bean on account of its great vigor. Packet 10c. 

 Pt. 15c. Qt. 25c. 4 Qts. 75c. Perk $1.35. Bushel $5.00 



ENORMOUS PLANT. ENORMOUS POD. 



ENORMOUS YIELD. 



NEVER AFFECTED BY RUST OR BLIGHT. 



1031. If you had grown it in your field as we did, when for al- 

 most two solid months we had copious rains every day, and it 

 showed no signs of blight or rust, you would agree with us when 

 we say a bean that will yield a fine crop of beautiful long, flat, 

 clean waxy pods, under such adverse circumstances, certainly 

 cannot be praised too highly. It is a PEARI, of Great Value. 

 Although a flat bean, the seed looks somewhat like a Valentine 

 Bean; the plant grows about 2'A ft. high by 2 ft. across. It is a 

 remarkably sturdy, rank, vigorousgrower.wellloaded with pods. 

 The luxuriant foliage shelters the pod from the hot sun, and is 

 free from blight or rust. The pods are long, slim, flat, plump, 

 handsome and meaty ; they somewhat resemble those of the 

 Davis and Wardell s Wax Beans, but are plumper, longer, and 

 straighter. They average from 7 to 8 inches long, and are of a 

 clean light waxy yellow color. As to quality, the pods are ex- 

 ceptionally tender, brittle, and of fine texture, free from fibre, 

 and if picked when ripe, they are entirely stringless. Both for 

 shippers, market gardeners and the Home Garden, the except- 

 ionally good qualities of Bolgiano's New Pearl Wax Bean renders 

 it of the greatest value. Pkt. 10c. Pint 15c. Quart 25c 

 4Qts. 85c. Peck $1.60. Bushel $6.00. 



ROUND-POD KIDNEY WAX BEAN. 



1021. This handsome variety of wax-podded Bean is an improved 

 type of the well-known Warden's Kidney Wax, and, besides hav- 

 ing that popular variety's luxuriant growth, it is also entirely 

 stringless. The pods are long, straight and extremely handsome. 

 It is an exceedingly heavy bearer, and is fully as early in matur- 

 ing its pods as the Wardell's Kidney Wax, and is of excellent 

 quality. Pkt. 10c. Pt. 15c, Qt. 25c. 4 Qt*. 75c. Peck 

 $1.35. Bushel $5.00.

1024. One of the handsomest and most productive flat podded Wax 

 Bean ever grown. In this new variety, we have one of the very best wax 

 sorts for market gardeners and private families. It will sell twice as 

 well and at a higher price than other sorts. The pods are longer, 

 broader and of a brighter yellow color than many other sorts, very 

 superior quality, tender and stringless. The vines are of vigorous 

 growth, leaves dark green, hardy and yield enormous quantities of 

 large, handsome, flat, meaty pods, borne well up from the ground and 

 has not shown any disposition to rust, no matter where grown. It is 

 from eight to ten days earlier than the Valentine. The seeds should not 

 be plan ted closer than 4 inches apart in the row. We particularly recom- 

 mend this valuable sort to market gardeners. PKts. 10c. Pint. 15c.

New Variety. — Last summerwewerespendingourvacationin the Mountains; Dur- * 

 ingour absence, one of the leading Watermelon growers, living about 100 miles from 

 Baltimore, wrote us, he had for a number of years been developing an extra, selected strain of Watermelon, and the result of his efforts had gone far 

 beyond anything he had ever hoped to produce. Were we interested? He shipped us several samples, these came on boat to Baltimore 100 miles, 

 then on railroad through the mountains for 250 miles. Reaching us in perfect condition after traveling 350 miles, through rough country and rough- 

 ly handled. These melons attracted the attention of everyone by their beautiful deep green color, stately size and excellent shape. We had them 

 on exhibition, then took them with us back into the mountains. We put the Melons in a Cold Mountain Spring, and in afew hours we cutthem. 

 The Melons were in a perfect condition, "Red to the Rind," and entirely free from stringiness. We immediately inspected the crop. The Cold f 

 Mountain Spring' Watermelon is a winner as a shipper, as a table Melon and as a Money Maker. Our suppl v of seed is neccessarily limited and fi 

 only the seed produced by the originator, so order immediately. Pkt. 10c. Oz. 15c. 1/4 Lb. 35c, 1/2 Lb. 60c. Lb. $1.00. |
