Pole Lima 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 kid- 

 ney shaped, and haveadullwhitecolor. 

 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.25 peck. 



DREER'S IMPROVED LIMA. The 

 distinctive features of this are early 

 maturity, large yield and extra qual- 

 ity. The bean itself is thick and round, 

 rather than oval-shaped, as most 

 other Limas are. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 

 35c. qt., $2.25 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 

 a trifle smaller than those of the Large 

 White Lima, but are all the better on 

 that account, as small beans are al- 

 ways 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. 15c. 

 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. 10c. pkt,, 

 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.25 peck. 



HENDERSON'S- 



LEVIftTHM" I 016 L1IH3. 



A grand new variety about one week 

 earlier than any other large Pole Lima, 

 rendering it of great value especially in 

 sections where limas are apt to be 

 caught by early frosts. The size of the 

 bean, productiveness and other features 

 leave nothing to be desired. It is shown 

 on a colored plate and fully described 

 on pages 16 and 17. Price, 20c. pkt., 3 

 pkts. 50c, 7 pkts. $1.00. 



Our packets of Beans, with few ex- 

 ceptions, are really small square 

 boxes containing nearly half a pint. 



t REEN PODDED 



' SNAP AND SHELL 



Pole Beans 



"OLD HOMESTEAD." This we re- 

 gard as far ahead of any other green 

 Pole Bean. In our trial grounds last 

 summer it was fit for the table on 

 August 1st, which was at least ten 

 days earlier than any other green 

 climbing sort. It is enormously pro- 

 ductive, the pods hanging in great 

 clusters from top to bottom of the 

 pole. It is entirely stringless, and 

 the pods are a silvery green color, re- 

 sembling the popular Kefugee Bush 

 Bean. The pods, though large, cook 

 tender and melting, and we can recom- 

 mend it as the best green Pole Bean. 

 (See cut.) 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., 

 $2.50 peck. 



Horticultural or Speckled Cranberry. 

 Popular either in the green state or 

 shelled. 10c. pkt , 20c. pt., 35c. qt., 

 $2.00 peck. 



SCARLET RUNNER. A great favor- 

 ite, 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. 



"OLD HOMESTEAD. 



GOLDEN OR WAX PODDED 



?%r role Beans. 



"GOLDEN CHAMPION." This is the 

 leading Early Wax Pole Bean, as it is 

 fully two weeks earlier than the Gold- 

 en Cluster Wax Pole, being fit to pick 

 on July 24th of last year. The pods 

 are enormous, resembling the Yosem- 

 ite Wax in size and form ; color light 

 yellow. They are absolutely stringless 

 and cook tender. The Golden Cham- 

 pion 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 Cham- 

 pion" and "Old Homestead." 15c. 

 pkt-, 25c. pt., 40c. qt.,$2.50 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. 



Early Golden Cluster Wax Pole. Be- 

 gins to bear early in July and con- 

 tinues until frost. The pods are six 

 to eight inches long, are most freely 

 produced, and are of a beautiful gold- 

 en yellow ; the flavor is most delicious. 

 Can be used either shelled or as a 

 string bean. 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 50c. 

 qt. ; very scarce.
