THE TWO BEST FIELD BEANS 



FOR SHELLED BEANS. 



BUR1.I1VGAME MEDIUM. — Earliest, hardiest, most 

 productive and most profitable field bean iu America; llie 

 favorite of tlie leading bean farmers in Central New York. 

 It averages -JO bushels per acre. It ripens early, and in :i 

 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. 



Pkt., lOc; pt., 20c.; qt., 35c., postpaid. Pk., 81.25; bu., S-1.00. 



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 

 liandsome, but it is j>ea-shaped rather than medium shaped. 

 1 list it on account of Its high productiveness, its extra 

 quality and Its wide popularity.

Carrie Naj'Ior, Spencerville, Ind. Ter.— I have used your seeds for 

 years, and recommend them to my friends because your prices are 

 reasonable, your seeds are e.xaotly whai you claim for them, and they 

 come as promptly from the seed house as from the soil. 



POLE BEANS. 







LAZY WIVES— The green pods are wonderfully broad, thick, fleshy 

 and above all, stringless. They retain their rich, strlngless and tender 

 qualities 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 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; 

 quart, 40 cts., postpaid. Peck, S1.50, bushel, 85..50.
