The Two Best Field Beans 
For Shelled Beans. 
BURLINGAME MEDIUM. — Earliest, hardiest, most 
productive and most profitable field bean in America; the 
favorite of the leading bean farmers in Central New York. 
It averages 40 bushels per acre. It ripens early, and in a 
wet season remains sound and healthy where other 
varieties rust and spot. The ripened seed is pearly white, 
and is much handsomer than other sorts, and consequently 
commands top prices. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 20 cts.; 
quart, 35 cts., postpaid. Peck, $1.50; bushel, $4.50. 
BOSTON PEA OR NAVY BEAN.—Seed more globe- & 
shaped than Burlingame Medium; otherwise much like it. 
In high favor among the great field bean growers of New 
York and Michigan. Its yield is nearly or quite as heavy 
as the Burlingame Medium, and it is equally white and 6 
handsome, but it is pea-Shaped rather than medium shaped. 
I list it on account of its high productiveness, its extra 
quality and its wide popularity. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; 
qt., 35 cts., postpaid. Peck, $1.25; bushel, $4.00. 
8a When beans by the pint or quart are ordered by ex- 
ress or freight, 8 cents per pint or 15 cents per quart may 
Be deducted from prices quoted. Pecks and bushels are ; 
sent by express or freight at purchaser’s expense. v 
The most prolific White Field Bean in cultivation. 
LAZY WIVES POLE BEANS. 
LAZY WIVES—The green pods are wonderfully broad, thick. fleshy 
and above all, stringless. They retain their rich, stringless and tender 
quatities until they are ripe; so much so, in fact, that I am perfectly 
Safe in saying they are the best of all snap shorts. This is one of the 
best climbers among the beans, surpassing every other variety in the 
way vines cling to the poles. The pods are from 6 to 8 inches long, ex- 
ceedingly rich, buttery and fine flavored. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 
25 cents; quart, 45 cents, postpaid. Peck, $2.00; bushel, $7.50. 
NOXALL POLE GREEN PODDED.—(See green pages: ) 
OLE BEANS. 
FRENCH ASPARAGUS BEAN. 
FRENCH ASPARAGUS BEAN.— 
A Philadelphia gardener who. has 
grown all sorts of beans tells me that 
this one is the most delicious, produc- 
tive and best, according to his taste. 
The pods grow two to four feet long. 
Green, tender and palatable. Both 
ornamental and useful. Pkt., 10 cts. 
NEW GOLDEN CLUSTER.—Pro- 
duces beautiful yellow pods six to 
eight inches long, in clusters of four 
to six. Pods retain their tenderness 
and plumpness long after the beans 
have formed. Commences to bear 
ten days later than the earliest dwarf 
wax beans and yields until frost. 
Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts.; qt., 50 cts., 
postpaid. Pk., $2.00; bu., $7.50. 
IMPROVED KENTUCKY WON- 
DER.—Very early and enormously 
) productive, the long, green pods hang- 
/ ing in clusters from the top to the bot- 
tom of the pole. They are stringless 
and always cook tender. Packet, 10 
cts.; pimt, 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts., 
postpaid. Pk., $2.00; bu., $7.50. 
WHITE CREASEBACK.—A pop- 
ular pole bean known in some sections 
as the Fat Horse bean. Itis especially 
desirable as a snap short, the pods 
being of a beautiful light green color, 
about six inches long, stringless, per- 
fectly round, with a crease in the back. WHITE CREASEBACK. 
The bean is early and of most excellent quality. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 
25 cts.; qt., 45 cts., postpaid. Peck, $2.00; bushel, $7.50. 
RED SPECKLED CUT SHORT, OR CORNHILL. — This is a 
popular variety and largely in demand for planting among corn. It will 
give a splendid crop without the use of poles. The vine is medium, 
twining loosely. The green pods are tender and of good quality. Seed 
white with reddish brown dots. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cemts; 
quart, 45 cents, postpaid. Peck, $2.00; bushel, $7.50. 
NEW GOLDEN CARMINE.—(See green pages.)

shelled beans. Vines strong, rapid growers; often used for ornamenting 
porches and trellises. Flowers brilliant scarlet. Blooms from early 
summer until late in fall. Pkt., 10c., pt., 25c.; qt., 45c., postpaid.
