Early Mohawk. Xevy early and will stand more cold than most 

 of the bush varieties. This varietj* is largely grown in the 

 Southern States for Xorthern markets. The pods are from five 

 to six inches long ; the seeds, when ripe, drab with purple spots. 

 10c. pkt., 15e. pt.. 2.5c. qt., $1.50 peck, $5.00 bushel. 



D-wrarf Horticultural. A bush variety of the well-known Horticul- 

 tural Pole Bean. Idc. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., S1.60peck,S5. 50 bushel. 



■WHITE MARROW. The variety so extensively grown for sale 

 in the dry state. It is also valued as a string bean. S^eds are 

 ivory-white. 10c. pkt., 15c. pt., 2-5c. qt., SI. 25 peck, $4.00 bushel. 



"LONGFELLOW" rS BUSH BEAN. 



Long green pods. Exceedingly prolitic, Always solid. 

 Delicious flavor. Wonderfully tender. Remarkably early. 



This Is an ideal String Bean. The pods are &}■£ inches 

 long, pale, soft green in color, perfectly straight and 

 round. They are free from that wooUy inner lining of 

 tough skin which we associate with old beans, and 

 what little string exists is not developed until the pod 

 is quite old. The flavor is most delicious, and it has 

 the peculiarity of preserving its delicate color almost 

 intact when prepared for the table. It is remarkably 

 early, being ready for use four days in advance of any 

 variety of merit. Its bearing qualities are unexcelled, 

 and it matures its crop very regularly, even under ad- 

 verse conditions. (See cut.) 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. 

 qt., $2.00 peck, $7.00 bushel. 



"I take this opportunity of giving yon my experience vritb 



Longfellon- Busli Bean. It was sown on the same date with 



Early Six Weeks and other' Earliest' Beans. I gathered my first 



table beans from the latter bat only three days ahead of the 



Longfellow, but from the time of picking first beans fi-om the 



Longfellow everything else has been discarded by Gen. Brown's 



family, and the only bean they will hare on the table is Longfel- 



From four rows I ha ve been gathering daily for three weeks in large quantity, and 



ines are still bearing heavily . lam glad to endorse it; it is the best bean 1 have 



n in t wen ty years' practice'." A . M. Mc TOSH, Falmouth Foreside, Me. 



EARLY "WARWICK. One of the earliest, if not the earliest, 

 Green Bush Bean. The pods are stringless until they reach a 

 stage at which they are past maturity for marketing. 10c. pkt., 

 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.75 peck, $6.00 bushel. 



Loug Yellow Six "Weeks. Early, very productive and of excel- 

 lent quality. Pods often eight inches long. Seeds, when ripe, 

 yellowish dun color. 10c. pkt., 15e. pt., 25c. qt., $1.50 peck, $5.00 

 bushel. 



Large "White Kidney. Excellent as a shell bean. 10c. pkt., 15c. 

 pt., 2oc. qt., $1.25 peck, S4.00 bushel. 



DwfiRF Wax Poddld Butter Blans. 



FLAGEOLET "WAX. This is really one of the most valuable 

 varieties for either private or market garden purposes. It is 

 as early as either the Black or Golden Wax sorts, and has a 

 peculiar value in the fact that it is nearly always exempt from 

 rust. The pods are often a foot in length, exceedingly succu- 

 lent and tender. It is an enormously productive variety. 

 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., S2.00 peck, $7.00 bushel. 



GOLDEN-EYED WAX. This is an early and vigorous grow- 

 ing variety, yielding a great profusion of tender pods of a 

 beautiful waxy appearance. The vine grows about one and a 

 half feet high, holding the pods well off the ground, thus keep- 

 ing them clean and attractive. It is singularly free from 

 blight and rust. The pods are flat and large. 10c. pkt., 15c. 

 pt., 25c. qt., $1.60 peck, $5.50 bushel. 



REFUGEE WAX. Among green beans, the Refugee type has 

 always been most valuable. This wax variety has all the 

 peculiar characteristics of the old Refugee, such as small, 

 dense foliage, great productiveness, roundness of pod and 

 handsome appearance. It will readily be seen that the ad- 

 vantages gained in producing a w^ax form of this must be 

 great. It produces pods of a clear, transparent color. It re- 

 mains tender longer than any other wax sort, and is practi- 

 cally ever-bearing. It is free from rust, and its dense habit of 

 growth renders it proof against long-continued di-ought. 

 This feature is valuable, and this is the only "Wax Bean we 

 know of that possesses it. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.60 

 peck, $5.50 bushel. 



HENDERSON'S IMPROVED BLACK WAX. This is an 

 improved stock of the old Black Wax. The plant is strong 

 and so vigorous in growth that it effectually repels attacks of 

 rust, while its ample foliage so completely shelters the pods 

 from the rays of the sun that they are always uniformly of a 

 translucent, creamy yellow color. It is exceedingly early and 

 enormously productive. {See cut.) 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., 

 $1.75 peck, $5.50 bushel. 



"White Seeded "Wax. A va -iety with roundish flat wax-like 

 pods. 10c. pkt.. 20c. pt., 30c. qt.. SI. 75 pe^k, S6.00 bushel. 



BLACK ■W"AX. When ripe the pods are yellow, averaging 7 inches 

 in length, very tender and of the best quality. Seeds, when ripe, 

 glossy black. 10c. pkt., 15c. pt., 25c. qt., $1.50 peck, $5.00 bushel.
