EARLY MOHAWK A hardy, 



early sort, of old-established reputation. 

 Pkt., lOcts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 40c. 



IMPROVED EARLY YEL- 

 LOW SIX WEEKS — After Valen- 

 tine, I believe this bean is the next best 

 extra early green pod. It is absolutely 

 stringless until it attains full size. It is 

 extra early, very productive, and always 

 makes a good, thick meaty pod. Pkt. 

 luc; pt., 25c; qt., 40c, postpaid. 



ROUND PODDED REFU- 

 GEE. — This old, well-known variety 

 has lately been greatly improved by one 

 of our most celebrated bean growers. It 



is somewhat later than either of the EARLY MOHAWK. 



above, but still it is wonderfully proline, of excellent shape, and in every way desira- 

 ble ; has always been largely grown for pickling. Pkt. 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 40 cts. 



BEST OF ALL Pods are 



long, very fleshy, succulent and 

 stringless, of good flavor. They 

 are produced medium early and 

 abundantly. Market gardeners 

 in the neighborhood of New Or- 

 leans have long considered them 

 the best of all. Although only 

 known in the North to a limited 

 extent, all planting them agree 

 they well deserve the name. Pkt. 

 10 cts.; pint. 25 cts.: quart, 45 cts. 



■ NONPAREIL Is about 



the very last bean to mature ; it 

 comes in at a time when almost 

 all other varieties are hard and , 

 stringy. On grounds of the New ;

 than any other variety. Vines are always loaded down with numbers of long dark 

 green pods, thatifpulled when young are of good quality ; allowed to mature they must 

 be grown for shelled beans, for which use it does exceedingly well, as crop is matured 

 all at once, and pods are always full of large red speckled kidney-shaped beans, 

 which cook tender and mealy, "Packet., 10 cents ; pint, 25 cents ; quart, 45 cents.

pods. Mr. Thompson, of North

612 pods. From this statement some 



idea can be had of their wonderful 



productiveness. Pkt. 10 cts.: pint,

BURLINGAME MEDIUM S In the Burlingame 



Mediums I consider I offer rav customers the earliest, har- 

 diest and most productive Field Bean In America. 



At present only known to a limited extent in western Now York, 

 it still, however, has increased in popularity to sucn an extent 

 during the last few years, that wherever grown it is planted to 



\ir m— im — * ^ the exclusion of all other 



sorts, while riding through the Genesee Plata, :. 

 Rochester, in New Y'ork State, it was the only Field Bean 1 savi growing 

 n that great Bean growing district, and fields of them, containing 20 to 10 acres were not 

 uncommon. On Inquiring, I found 40 bushels to the acre, not an unusual yield, and they 

 have frequently, under favorable circumstances, made a much larger return. They ripen several 

 days earlier than the Marrow, Medium or Pea Bean, and in a wet season will keep dry and 

 healthy while other varieties rust and spot, and are thereby greatly reduced in quantity as 

 well as quality. I have before me a letter from one of the largest com eans in 



New York State ; they write that " Burlingame Mediums are. in their opinion, unquestionably 

 the coming Bean for field culture. The ripened seed is pearly white and much handsomer 

 than the old sorts, consequently they can frequently be sold at an extra price." Every reader 

 of this catalogue who has ever grown or thinks of growing Beans for market, should not 

 I hesitate to give Burlingame Mediums a trial. Packet, 10 cents . pint, 25 cents ; quart, 40 cents.
