“Qld 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 sort. It 
is enormously productive, the pods hang- 
ing in great clusters from top to bottom 
of 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. (See cut.) 
Price, 15c. pkt.; 60c. 14 pt.; $1.00 pt. 
NEW POL 
S. 
“Golden Champion.” . 
This is certain to be the leading Early 
Wax Pole Bean, as it is fully two weeks 
earlier than the Golden Cluster Pole Wax, 
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 string- 
| less 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 con- 
tain the Golden Champion and ‘Old 
Homestead.’ (See cut.) 
Price, 15c. pkt.; 60c. 14 pt.; $1.00 pt. 
A packet of each of these two Pole Beans for 25c.; a 14 pint of each for $1.00; a pint 
of each for $1.75.

I purchased of you one peck early Puritan Potatoes 
from which I raised twenty-three bushels of the 
handsomest Potatoes [eversaw. They are the best 
large yielding Potatoes seen in my long experience of 
40 years in raising Potatoes —C. W. Hopces, Foxboro, 
Mass., Noy. 19th, 1890. 
EARLY WARWICK 
Green Bush Bean, 
This is a variety that came under our no- 
tice two years ago, and which has proven 
itself to be one of the earliest, if not the 
earliest Green Bush Bean that ®e have. 
Our repeated tests show that this Bean will 
give a picking of pods four inches and over 
in forty-three days from the date of planting ; 
this we have never known any other green 
Bush Bean to do except it be the Emperor 
William. The pods may be said to be string- 
less until they reach a stage at which they 
are past maturity for marketing. As this 
Bean is so remarkably early and likewise 
suitable for shipping long distances, we be- 
lieve it will be found to be a valuable aequi- 
sition, especially to the Southern trucker, to 
whom it is of the utmost importance that he 
get something that will come in ahead of 
existing sorts. 
It is a heavy cropper, producing an abun- 
dance of pods which average about 51g inches 
in length. (Seecut.) 
10 cts. pkt. ; 60 cts. per pt.; $1.00 per qt.
