RHODE ISLAND DWARF CASEKNIFE BEANS. 



RHODE ISLAND DWARF CASEKNIFE 

 BEANS. 



A very dwarf and strong growing variety. The beans are 

 large in the green state, and the plants bear continuously during 

 the summer months. When young the beans are tender, and 

 of very fine flavor. It is very hardy, and will stand more 

 changes in emperature than almost any other variety. It is 

 exceedingly early, and the yield as a snap bean exceeds that of 

 any other variety. 



50 cts. per qt. ; $3.50 per peck. 



JERSEY EXTRA EARLY LIMA BEAN. 



JERSEY EXTRA EARLY LIMA BEAN. 



In this Extra Early Lima Bean we have a variety that is at 

 least ten days or two weeks earlier than any other sort. Last 

 year the pods were large enough to pick July 24th, and were 

 sold in the New York markets a veek later at the rate of $3.00 

 per bushel (of pods). In appearance and size it is •>,bout the 

 same as the Large White Lima, and is of equally good quality. 

 An early Lima Bean, such as the Jersey Extra Early, is a great 

 desideratum to *hose living in districts where the season is too 

 short to mature the ordinary later varieties. 



75 cts. per qt.; $5.00 per peck. 



FRENCH ETAMPES, or English Canter- 

 bury Bean. 



Most distinct in appearance and growth, with a habit both 

 dwarf and compact. Very early, extremely delicate in flavor, 

 and enormously productive. 



40 cts. per qt.; $2.50 per peck. 



Columbia. Pa., January 17th. 1885. 

 We are very apt to find fault when seeds prove unreliable, and keep very quiet when they prove true. I want to be an exception to the 

 -rule, and to tell you that 1 drew twelve first premiums at thj Lancaster County Fair last fall, on vegetables, all the seed of which was bought 

 from you. JNO. STERLINE.
