Carolina or §e^vee. A Tariety similar to the Lima ; the only difference is, 

 the seeds and pods are smaller. It is generally cultivated, being more productive 

 than the Large Lima. 



Morticiiltiiral or IrTreai's Eg§r. Does not grow very strong ; bears well, 

 pods about six inches long, which are roundish and very tender. 



Dutch Case Ksslfe. A very good pole bean; it is early; pods broad and 

 long, somewhat turned towards the end. 



Oersiiaii "^Vax. This is a fine variety, and has the same good qualities as the 



German Dwarf Wax. Pods have a waxy appearance ; very succulent and tender. 



Soiitlierii Froaifie. No variety will continue longer in bearing than this. 



It stands The heat oi the summer better than any other, and is planted to succed 



the other kinds. It is a very strong grower ; pods 

 about seven inches long and flat ; seeds are dark yel- 

 low or rather light brown. It is the standard variety 

 for tte New Orleans market, for late spring and 

 summer. 



Crease Back.. A variety of Pole Beans which 

 has been cultivated in the South for a long time, but 

 has never come into the trade till introduced by me. 

 It is an excellent bean, earlier than the "Southern 

 Prolific. '■-■ Seeds white ; pods round, with a crease in 

 the hack, from which the name. It is a good grower, 

 bears abundantly, and, if shipped, will keep better 



than most other 

 kinds. It sells bet- 

 ter in the spring 

 than any other for 

 shipping purpose ; 

 and when in season, 

 it can not be sur- 

 passed. For early 

 summer, the South- 

 ern Prolific is pre- 

 ferable, standing 

 the heat better. 

 Several years ago 

 I received half a 

 bushel from near 

 Mobile, Ala., and 

 all the beans of this 

 variety in the whole 

 country can be 

 traced back to that 

 half bushel. I sup- 

 plied two growers 

 in Georgia where it 

 was not known at 

 that time. I expect 

 to have a full sup- 

 ply this season. 

 There is a light
