CLIMBING OR POLE BEANS. 



/ qt. to ISO hills; 10 to 12 qts. to the acre la drills. Cultural directions free. If asked for. 



" OLD HOMESTEAD." This we regard 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 productive, the pods hanging in great clus- 

 ters from top to bottom of the pole. It is entirely stringless, and the pods are a silvery green color, 

 resembling the popular Refugee Bush Bean. The pods, though large, cook tender and melting, 

 and we can recommend it as the best green Pole Bean. (Seecut.) 15c. plit., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.50 peck. 



GOLDEN CHAMPION. This is certain to be the leading Early "Wax Pole Bean, as it is fully 

 two weeks earlier than the Golden Cluster Wax Pole, being fit to pick on July 24th of last year. 

 The pods are enormous, resembling the Yosemite Wax in size and form ; color, light yellow. 

 They are absolutely stringless and cook tender. The Golden Champion 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 Champion " and "Old Homestead." {See cut.) 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., 

 $2.50 peck. 



EARLY GOLDEN CLUSTER "WAX. 



Begins to bear earlj- in July and con- 

 tinues until frost. The pods are six to 

 eight inches long, are most freely pro- 

 duced, and are of a beautiful golden 

 yellow; the flavor is most delicious. 

 Can be used eitlier shelled or as a string 

 bean. 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., 

 S2.00 peck. 



SCARLET RUNNER. A great favorite, 

 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. 



German "Wax Pole. One of the best 

 varieties either for snaps Or shelled in 

 the green state. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c.

JERSEY EXTBA EARLY POLE LIMA BEAN. 



"OLD HOMESTEAD" POLE BEAN 



My wife also wishes to say a word of n] 

 praise of the *Old Homeste.\d' Beans. She ^ 

 picked the first on July T-id. and they are still s 

 bearing, Oct. 8th, and everybody pronounced 0^ 

 them fine and want no other."-^. D, Post- [U

POLE LIMA BEANS. 



HENDERSONS EARLY LEVIATHAN. A grand, new variety. Early, large, pro- 

 ductive and delicious. (See novelties, page 11.) 20c. pkt., 35c. pt., 60c. qt., $4.00 peck. 



LARGE WHITE LIMA. With nearly every one the beans, either green or ripe, of 

 this variety are considered the most tender and d(4icious of the Bean family, and it is 

 therefore universally grown both for market and family use. The ripe beans are flat- 

 tish kidney shape, and have a dull white color. 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 quality. The bean itself is thick and round, rather than oval- 

 shaped, as most other Limas are. 10c. pkt., 20e. pt., 35c. qt., S2.25 peck. 



JERSEY EXTRA EARLY LIMA. In our experience with it from year to year, we 

 have found it invariably ten days to twro 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 Yoik mai'kets a week later. The beans are a trifle smaller than those of the 

 Large Wliite Lima, but are all the better on that account, as small beans are always 

 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. (See cut.) 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., SioO 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 beans also are smaller, but of the same color as the Large White Lima. 

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



Beans, Corn and Peas we do NOT deliver free, but will do so if fS^.^f.^'PART »§ a<Jded to the prices.
