■WARDWELL'S KIDNEY WAX.— This most prolific and hardy dwarf wax 

 Bean is unquestionably one of the earliest of all wax Beans. It is only surpassed 

 in this respect by Maule's Butter Wax. In coin,parison with the Golden Wax, the 

 pods are often ready to pull ten days earlier. Vines are of medium size and hardy, 

 while the pods are long, flat and of a delicate waxy yellow. Very brittle and entirely 

 stringless. Packet, 10 cents ; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents. 



BURPEE'S PERFECTIOW OR PliAGEOLET WAX.— I find these two beans 

 identical. Pods are of a bright golden color, larger than Golden Wax, very striking 

 and showy. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents. 



WHITE CREASEBACK.— This Is that choice pole Bean known through many 

 sections of the South as the popular Fat Horse Bean. For string beans, the Crease- 

 Ijaek is especially desirable, being of a beautiful light green color, stringless, about G 

 inches long, perfectly round, with a crease in the back, and of most excellent quality. 

 They ripen very early; in fact, it is the earliest of any green pole bean I know, and 

 pods are thick from one end of the pole to the other. Creaseback for early, Lazy 

 Wives for late, make an excellent combination. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts. 

 NEW GOLiDEBT WAX POLE — Golden Wax has fine, rich, round, fleshy, 

 stringless, beautiful golden yellow pods, 7 to 9 inches long. In flavor it equals any in 

 cultivation, while the vines begin bearing as early as any other pole bean grown, and 

 almost as early as auy dwarf wax variety. It has only one fault, and that is the vines 

 do not take the pole as readily as the Lazy Wives or Creaseback, but then it is earlier 

 than either, and when its other superior qualities are taken into consideration, not i 

 an order for 1897 should omit it. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents. I 



MAULE'S IMPROVED DUTCH RUNMER.— Without a doubt far the mostl 

 productive pole Bean in cultivation. The illustration gives but a faint idea of its im-] 

 mense yield. I have never seen anything that could begin to equal them, and all | 

 planting Dutch Runner this season I am sure will agree ! 

 with me. They are also wonderfully early. Pods are j 

 very large and handsome, almost equal to the large/ 

 Lima. In flavor they are superior, and cooked green I 

 in Summer, you will find they equal any succotash you j 

 ever made. They continue in bearing from July right! 

 to frost. Pkt., 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; qt., 50 cents. 



NEW GOLDEN CLUSTER This variety is an ' 



provement on all the good qualities of the Giant and I 

 varf Wax, and is distinct in color, in seed andhabitof 

 3wth. The pods retain their tenderness and plump- 

 ss long after the Beans have attained a large size, so 

 at only a few days elapse alter they cease to be fit for 

 •ing Beans before they are fit to shell. The pods are 

 jeautiful golden yellow, and are from 6 to 8 inches 

 Qg, borne profusely in clusters of four to six. Com- 

 encing to bear ten days after the Golden Wax, it con- 

 lues to produce an abundance of pods until frost sets 

 , Packet, 10 cents; pint., 30 cents; quart, 50 cents. 



I IMA RPAN^ SALEM IMPROVED 

 I fllTl./^ 1> L-,/^!"*! O. LIMA.— This is a select- 

 strain of the large Lima, but it is so far superior to 

 e Lima Beans that I know most of my customers see 

 id grow, that I must give it a prominent place in my 

 talogue. In the first place, 1 think you will flnd it 

 e most productive, and therefore the best table Lima 

 'U have ever grown. Pods are produced in large clus- 

 rs, five to six large Beans often in a pod, and ripens 

 ily a very short time after the Extra Early Lima. The 

 nes continue in bearing right up to frost. The King 

 the Garden is a first-class Lima in everv way, but 1 

 ink the Salem fully equals, if it does not surpass It It 

 rtainly beats it in strong, regular 

 owth on my trial grounds. Pkt., 

 cts.; pint, 35 cts; quart, 60 cts. 

 DREER'S IMPROVED 

 [MA.— Ver.v productive and pods 

 B always full of extra plump 

 ans of the most delicious and 

 perior quality. When green 

 ey are nearly as large as the 

 rge Lima, thicker, sweeter and 

 ore tender, remaining green in 

 e pod for a long time "after ma- 

 ring. Pkt., lOc; pt., 30c.; qt., 50c.

FRENCH ASPARAGUS. — A 



ula. gardener says: "I have 

 own all varieties of beans, and I 

 nsider the Asparagus Bean the 

 ost delicious production and 

 St I have ever had." Pods grow 

 )m 2 to 4 feet long and are pro- 

 iced in great abundance. In col- 

 they are a beautiful green, ten- 

 r and delicious, so they will not 

 ily prove a great curiosity 

 lerever grown, but also a desir- 

 le variety as well. E. M. Pace, 

 Virgil City, Mo., raised the prize 

 Asparagus Bean in 1889. It was 

 30J4 in. long. Packet, 10 cents.
