liAZY WIVES POI^K BEAN.— This fariety 

 originated in Bucks Countj-, Pennsylvania, wherj for a, 

 number ol years, it has been the most popular Pole Beanj 

 grown. Pods are wonderfully broad, thick, fleshy, and, 

 above all, entirely stringless. In these respects theyl 

 surpa&s any other I know of. Then, again, the jxjds retaini 

 their rich, stringless and tender qualities until they are! 

 almost ripe ; so much so, in fact, tnat I am perfectly safe 

 in saying they are the best of all Snap-Shorts. They also! 

 surpass every variety in the way vines cling to the pole, 

 and every bean grower will at once acknowledge this is a 

 most important qualification. Its name, I think, implies 

 productiveness, for, the vines being covered all Summer 

 with miuises of beautiiul pods, it is just the sort to suit lazy 

 wives, as a mess can soon be picked for dinner. Pods are 

 rather flattish, oval shape, and, w'hen fully grown, are 

 from 4 to 6 inches long, exceedingly rich, buttery, and fine 

 flavored when cooked. They are hardy, easily grown, and 

 enormously 7>r(xluctive. I could furnish hundreds of 

 testimonials from persons who have grown and used the 

 Lazy Wives Bean, all claiming it to be the best Bean they 

 have ever tried, and many have discarded all other kinds, 

 using this for an early and late snap-short, and aLso as dry 

 shell or Winter bean; and such is the peculiar taste aiid 

 pleasant flavor of this Bean that we have kno^Ti many 

 persons who could not be induced to eat other varieties oY 

 string beans after tasting Lazy Wives, if they could obtain 

 the latter. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, .SO cts.; quart, .50 cts. 



IMPROVED KENTUCKY AVONDER 

 POIiE BEAN.— This Bean, while a very old variety, has 

 lately been so improved as to deser\-e cultivation by all 

 people who like a nice long green podded pole bean. It is 

 very early, enormously productive, the pods actually 

 hanging in clusters from the top to the very bottom of the 

 pole. At the same time they are very long,' stringless, and 

 always cook remarkably tender. In fact under its new 

 name, the t)ld Homestead, it has been recommended as 

 the best of all green podded pole beans. Packet, 10 cents ; 

 pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents. 



EXTRA EARLY 1.IMA — Also known as Early 

 Jersey. This is 10 days to two weeks earlier than any other 

 pole Lima, and until the introduction of THE NEW 

 BUSH LIMA Bix years ago, was the earliest in cultiva- 

 tion. Notwithstanding its earliness it still equals the 

 ordinary large Lima in quality and productiveness, « hile 

 the beans are equally as large. Many in the North who 

 have never been able to raise Lima Beans until they 

 planted this variety have had great success with Extra 

 Early Lima. Pkt, 10 cents ; pint, 30 cents ; quart, 50 cents. 



BLACK LIMA.— The introducers, W. A. Bur- 

 pee & Co., have this to say: "The vine is a me- 

 Qium vigorous grower, quite hardy and enor- 

 mously productive. Pods have a uniform length l 

 of about 3?2 inches, and contain 3 and 4 beans | 

 each, which are of dark green color when cooked, 

 uf delicious flavor and delicate quality. Packet, 

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

 JACKSON AVONDER.-This is one of the re- 

 cently largely 

 advertised spe- 

 cialties in dwarf 

 lima beans; re- 

 sembles Hen- 

 derson's Bush 

 Lima, and in 

 parts of Geor- 

 gia it is highly 

 esteemed; said 

 to be a very 

 valuable forage 

 crop, but on 

 our own trial 

 grounds we can 

 not say that it 

 amounted to 

 much. Pkt., 10 

 cts.; pt., 30 cts.
