VOLE BEANS 
WHITE CREASEBACK.—This very 
choice pole bean, known through many sec- 
tions of the Suuth as the Popular Fat Horse 
Bean, should have been catalogued long ago 
by Northern seedsmen. One difficulty, how- 
ever, has been that the seed has always been scarce. 
I have had, however, a crop grown for me the last 
four years, and take great pleasure in being able 
to offer it tomy customers. For string beans the 
Creaseback is especially desirable, being of a 
beautiful light green color, stringless, about six 
inches long, perfectly round with a crease in the 
back, and of most excellent quality. They ripen 
very early; in fact, itis the earliest of any 
green pod pole bean I know, and pods are 
thick from one end of the pole to the other. Crease- 
back for early, Lazy Wives for late, makes an ex- 
cellent combination. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 30c.; qt., 50c. 
NEW GOLDEN WAX POLE.—!I have 
given my customers a very fine pole bean above, 
but have still another that, to say the least, isa 
perfect beauty. White Creaseback is a green- 
= podded bean. Golden Wax has the finest, rich 
= round, fleshy, stringless, beautiful golden-yel- 
= low pods, seven to nine inches long, I have ever 
- seen. In flayor it equals any in cultivation, 
s while the vines begin bearing as early as any other 
pole bean grown, and almost as early as any Dwarf 
r=) Wax variety. It has only one fault, and that is that 
the vines do not take the pole quite as readily as 
the Lazy Wives or Creaseback, but then itis earlier 
than either, and when its other superior qualities 
si are taken into consideration, not an order for 1891 
should omit it. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 30 cts.; qt., 50 cts.

NEW GOLDEN CLUSTER —This new variety is an improvement on all 
the good qualities of the Giant and Dwarf Wax, and is distinct in seed, in color and 
habit of growth. The pods retain their tenderness and plumpness long after the 
beans have attained a large size, so that only a few days elapse after they cease to 
be fit for string beans before they are fit toshell. The pods are a beautiful golden 
yellow, and are from six to eight inches long, borne profusely in clusters of four to 
six. Commencing to bear ten days after the Golden Wax, it continues to produce 
an abundance of pods until frost setsin. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 35 cts.; qt., 60 cts. 
SALEM IMPROVED 
LIMA.—This is aselected strain 
of the Large Lima, but it is so far 
superior to the Lima Beans that I 
know most of my customers see and grow, that I must give it a prominent notice in 
my catalogue. In the first place I think you will find it the most productive, and, 
therefore, best table Lima you have ever grown. Pods are produced in large 
clusters, five to six large beans often in a pod, and ripens only a very short time 
after the Extra Early Lima. The vines continue in bearing right up to frost. The 
King of the Garden isa first-class Lima in every way, but I think the Salem Improved 
fully equals, if it does not surpass it. It certainly beats it in strong, regular growth 
on my trial grounds. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 35 cents; quart, 60 cents. 
DREER’S IMPROVED LIMA.—Very productive, and pods are 
always full of extra plump beans of the most delicious and superior and best I have ever had.” Pods grow from 
quality. When green they are nearly as large as the Large Lima, thicker, sweeter | two to four feet long, and are produced in 
and more tender, remaining green in the pod for a long time after maturing. great abundance. In color they are a beautiful green, tender and delicious,
