« NEW + GOLDEN + 
ANDALUSIA « WAX + BEAN 
This new bean, named and introduced by us three 
years since, has created a decided sensation among bean 
growers. Nothing we have eyer introduced has brought 
us so many unsolicited letters of the strongest praise 
from all parts of the United States. Hundreds pronounce 
it emphatically the most valuable pole variety ever offered. 
It originated at Andalusia, Bucks County, Pa., with a 
celebrated hean grower. Our illustration, made from 
Nature gives someidea of their wonderful productiveness, 
it being nothing unusual to pick one-half bushel to three 
pecks from a single vine at one picking. The pods are 
five to six inches long, broad, thick, very fleshy and 
entirely stringless, far surpassing all other varieties in this 
respect, and retaining these important qualities until 
almostripe. The pods when fully grown are from five 
to six inches long, exceedingly rich, buttery and fine 
flavored when cooked. The vines cling well to the 
poles, a very important feature, as onaccount of their 
enormous productiveness, the weight of a vine filled 
with such a mass of large pods is very great. They 
commence bearing their magnificent pods in great 
abundance when the vines are quite young, and 
continue to bear profusely the entire season. The beans 
when dry are round as a bullet, pure white in color, 
and also make a fine shell or winter bean. In great 
productiveness, fine quality and, ever-bearing character they 
stand unequalled by any other pole bean in the world. 
Large pkt., 15¢.; pint, 40c.; qt., 75e., post-paid; qt., 60c.; 
4 qts., $2.00; peck, $3.50, by freight or express. 
LAZY WIFE’S POLE. This fine pole bean, intro- 
duced by us a few years since, has become a great 
favorite. The pods grow from four to six inches long, 
entirely stringless, and of a rich buttery flavor when 
eooked. The pods remain green, and retain their tender, 
rich, stringless flavor until nearly ripe. The beans are 
white, and are unsurpassed as shell beans for Winter use. 
They are pronounced by all who have grown them the 
best green podded snap-short Pole Bean in cultivation. 
We cannot recommend this bean too highly. Pkt., 10c.; 
pint, 35c.; qt., 60c., post-paid; qt., 45e.; 4 qts., $1.50; peck, 
$2.75, by express. 
EARLY GOLDEN CLUSTER POLE BEAN. 
This new variety leads all other pole varieties in 
earliness. It is distinctin seed, 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 to shell. The pods are a beautiful 
waxy yellow, and are from six to eightinches long, borne 
profusely in clusters of four to six. Commencing to bear 
ten days after the Dwarf Golden Wax, it continues to 
produce an abundance of pods until frost sets in. on
