EMPEROR WILLIAM. This is not only the largest 
podded of all the bush varieties, but it is also the 
earliest. It produces a great profusion of large, flat pods. 
and is worthy of a place in all private and 
market gardens, for in addition to these 
good points, it can also be used as a dry

BEANS, °* stm.’ DWARF or BUSH. 
German, Bohne.—French, Haricot.—Spanish, Frijorenano. 
1 quart to 100 feet of drill; 2 bushels to the acre, in drills. 
A succession of sowings can be made from the first week in May until 
September. These dates are for the latitude of New York; further south the 
sowing must be done earlier, further north later. Plant in drills about two 
inches deep, and from eighteen inches to two feet apart, according to the 
richness of the soil; the poorer the soil, the closer they can be planted. The 
seeds should be dropped about two inches apart. 
Add 15 ets. per qt. extra if to be sent by mail. 
EARLY MOHAWE. Very early and will stand more cold 
than most of the bush varieties. Both this and the suc- 
ceeding sort are largely grown in the Southern States for 
Northern markets. The pods are from five to six inches 
long; the seeds, when ripe, drab with purple spots. (See 
cut.) 20 cts. pt.; 30 cts. qt.; $1.50 peck; $4.75 bush. 
HENDERSON’S EARLIEST RED VALENTINE. This 
variety is at least 10 days earlier than the Early Red Valen- 
tine, and is usually ready to pick in 35 days from time of 
planting. On account of its great earliness it is largely 
grown by market gardeners, but except in the character- 
istic of extreme earliness, it differs in no other way from 
the Early Red Valentine next described. By a competitive 
test made in 1887 by one of the highest authorities on the subject 
in this country, Henderson's Earliest Red Valentine was proven 
to be 10 days earlier than any other stock. Sold only in sealed 
packages. 30 cts. pt:; 50 cts. qt.; $2.25 peck; $7.00 
bush. 
EARLY RED VALENTINE. Desirable for either market 
or family use, being early, productive, tender, and of ex- 
cellent flavor. The pods are round, somewhat curled, and 
the seeds, when ripe, salmon speckled with purplish rose. 
25 cts. pt.; 40 cts. qt.; $2.00 peck; $6.00 bush. 
NE PLUS ULTRA. A very heavy cropper, with flat pods 
of the Mohawk or Yellow Six Weeks type. Itis very early, 
and we have noticed that in our trials we could pick more 
from a row of this variety than any other ripening at the 
same season. 25 cts. pt. ; 35 cts. qt. ; $1.75 peck ; $5.50 bush. 
BEST OF ALL. A new red speckled variety, succeeding 
Ne Plus Ultra and other extra early varieties. The pods 
are flattish-round, dark green, very solid and of good qual- 
ity. 20 cts. pt.; 35 cts. qt.; $1.75 peck; $5.50 bush. 
LONG YELLOW SIX WEEKS. Early, very productive 
and of excellent quality. Pods often eighteen inches long.

ROUND EARLY SIX WEEKS. A round podded variety of the Six Weeks 
type, which is a great favorite in some parts of Massachusetts. 25 cts. pt.;
