ROGERS’ LIMA WAX BEAN. 
Pod broad and flat; the broadest of all wax bush beans. Color of pod, 
a semi-transparent, glossy, lemon-wax, the pod assuming that hue as 
soon as formed. Tender, juicy. delicious and excellent in every way, 
and never tough. The plant is vigorous and branching, bearing pro- 
fusely. Thin sowing is necessary. The heavy pods hang beneath the 
protection of the leaves,and thus they escape injury by the weather.

NEW GOLDEN LAZY WIVES POLE BEAN. 
Last year I introduced to the American public, this beautiful yellow JONES’ STRINGLESS. 
/ Or wax form of the favorite and famous Lazy Wives pole bean. The 
# new bean has all the good points of its celebrated green-podded ancestor with the additional ad- 
iii Vantage of being from four to five days earlier. The pods are broad, fleshy and stringless, retain- 
i ing their tender qualities until almost ripe, making perfect snap shorts. The vine is a natural 
ii climber, needing no help to get up the pole, and bearing freely all summer. Nothing can ex- 
ceed its productiveness. The pods are rather flat.in shape, and when full grown are 6 to8 inches 
long. When cooked they are rich and buttery. Packet, 15 cts.

The very best of the old reliable and favorite green-pod Valentine stock. The most famous 
bush bean in America. (See page 14). PkKt., 10c.; pt., 25c.; qt, 45¢c., postpaid. Pk., $2.00; bu., $7.00. 
NEW STRINGLESS GREEN POD BEAN. 
I am compelled to re-write last year’s description of this profitable bush bean in order to em- 
pbasize its strong points, and to call the attention of my customers to its rapidly increasing 
popularity. Extreme earliness is one of its main characteristics, but extra good quality is the 
main feature on which its growing fame depends. I listed the New Stringless for the first time 
last year, but it must already be accepted as the leading standard sort. Itis a quick grower, 
being ready for market long in advance of the old Valentine. In point of brittleness its quality 
is so high that its enthusiastic friends now claim that it is the only really stringless green-pod 
bean in cultivation. The pods are full and fleshy and nearly straight, and are produced in great 
abundance. They are from 54 to 6% inches long, light green in color, very tender and of excel- 
lent flavor. They remain long in edible condition, and are therefore well adapted for market 
purposes. I am greatly pleased with the New Stringless in every respect, especially since its 
behavior on my trial grounds has justified all claims made for it. The testimony in regard to it 
NEW (GOLDEN EAZY WIVES POLE BEAN. is all in one direction. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts., postpaid. Peck, $2.00.
