BEST TWO FIELD BEANS. 



BURL-INGAME MEDIUM.— The ear- 

 liest, hardiest, most productive and most 

 profitable field bean in America; the fav- 

 orite of the leading growers for the iSf. Y. 

 market in central New York. The yield 

 is 40 to 60 bushels per acre, under best con- 

 ditions. They ripen several days earlier 

 than the Marrow or Pea bean, and in a 

 wet season will remain healthy while /t 

 other varieties rust and spot. The ripened "^ 

 seed is pearly white, and much hand- 

 somer than the old sort, and consequently 

 commands an extra price, and is always 

 in demand. It has always produced a 

 crop, even when other field beans have 

 proved a failure. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; 

 qt., 35 cts., postpaid. Pk., $1.00; bu., $3.75. 



PROLIFIC TREE This is a small 



very white bean, resembling the old-fash- 

 ioned navy bean. It should be planted in 

 rows 2% feet apart, and 20 inches apart In 

 the rows, so as to give ample room for de- 

 velopment. In competition for a $25 pre- 

 mium, Mr. M. B. Puryear, Linwood, Ark., 

 raised a bush with 711 pods. Packet, 10 

 cents; pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents, post- 

 paid. Peck, 81.00; bushel, $8.50. 



BURLINGAME MEDIUM 



POLE BEANS. 



IMPROVED DUTCH RUNNER.— One of the most productive 

 pole beans grown. Seeds white and of large size. A profitable mar- 

 ket bean. Very early. Pods are full and handsome, and in flavor 

 the bean is the peer of the Lima itself. One of the best of all the 

 beans for succotash (boiling with sweet corn). Cooked in this man- 

 ner In the green state, a most palatable dish may be prepared. Pkt., 

 10 cU.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts., postpaid. Pk., $2.00; bu., 87.50. 



GOLDEN LAZY WJIVES.— Rich, yellow pods. (See specialties.) 



LAZY WIVES. — The green pods (see engraving) are wonderfully broad, 

 thick, fleshy and above all stringlees. They retain their rich, stringless and 

 tender qualities until they are ripe; so much so, in fact, that 1 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. Its name, I think, describes its ability not only to take 

 care of itself after planting, but to produce great masses of edible pods all 

 summer, and even Lazy Wives can harvest a patch of these most prolific 

 beans, if the men will but give the beans a fair start in Spring. The pods 

 are from ti to 8 inches long, exceedingly rich, buttery and fine flavored. This 

 Is a desirable bean in every respect, and is so endorsed by thousands of my 

 customers every year. Pkt., 10c. ; pt., 30c.; qt., 50c., postpaid. Pk., $2.00; bu., $7.50. 

 GOLDEN AVAX POLE.— Round, fleshy, stringless, beautiful yellow 

 pods, 7 to 9 inches long. Its rich flavor is equal to any in cultivation, while 

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

 almost as early as any dwarf wax variety. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt, 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts., 



postpaid. Peck, $2.00; bushel, $7.50. 

 NEW GOLDEN CLUSTER Produces 



beautiful yellow pods 6 to 8 inches long, in 



clusters of four to six. Pods retain their 



tenderness and plumpness long after the 



beans have formed. Commencing to bear 



ten days later than the earliest dwarf wax 



beans, and yields until frost. Pkt., lOc; pt., 



26 cts.; qt., 45c., postpaid. Pk., $1.75; bu., $t).50. 

 IMPROVED KENTUCKY WONDER. 



—Very early and enormously productive; 



the long, green pods hanging in clusters 



from the top to the bottom of the pole. 



They are stringless and always cook ten- 

 der. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 26 cts.; quart, 45 



cts., postpaid. Peck, $2.00; bushel, $7.00. 

 WHITE CREASEBACK. — A popular 



pole bean known in some sections as the 



Fat Horse bean. It is especially desirable 



as a snap short, the pods being of a beauti- 

 ful light green color, about six inches long, 



stringless, perfectly round, with a crease 



In the back, and of most excellent quality. 



The bean is early. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; 



qt., 45 cts., postpaid. Pk., $2.00; bu., $7.00.

•FRENCH ASPARAGUS BEAN. 



FRENCH ASPARAGUS BEAN.— A Phil- 

 adelphia gardener who has grown all sorts of 

 beans tells me that this one Is the most deli- 

 clous, productive and best, according to his 

 taste. The pods grow 2 to 4 feet long. Green, 

 tender and palatable. This bean Is both or- 

 namental and useful. Packet, 10 cents.
