ANDALDSIA WAX BEAN. 



This new bean, named and introduced by 

 us last spring, has created a decided sensatiort 

 among bean growers. Nothing we have ever 

 introduced has brought us so many unsolicited 

 letters of the strongest praise from all parts of 

 the United States, only a few of which we have 

 room to publish below. Hundreds pronounce 

 it emphatically the mosi valuable pole variety 

 ever offered. It originated at Andalusia, Bucks 

 County, Pa., with a celebrated bean grower. 

 Our illustration, made from nature, gives some 

 idea of their wonderful productiveness, it being 

 nothing unusual to pick over one-half bushel 

 from a single vine at one picking. The pods 

 are five to six inches long, broad, thick, very 

 fleshy and entirely sttingless, far surpassing 

 all other vatieties in this respect, and re- 

 taining these important qualities until almost 

 ripe. The pods when fully grown are 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 on account of their enormous pro- 

 ductiveness, 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 youtig, 

 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 bean in the world. 

 The stock of seed this season is so small that 

 we can only oflfer it in sealed packages. We are 

 sure, however, all who try it will return for seed 

 next season, when we hope to be able to offer 

 it in quantity.

THEY HAVE NO EQUAL. 



Fred. Grofp, Joanna, Pa., Sept. 5, 1888, writes: "I 

 cannot refrain from writing to you about the Golden 

 Andalusia Beans. They are the finest I have ever grown 

 and have no equal. They are more than you claim. I 

 have yet the first packet of seeds from you to fail me. 

 You shall have all my orders in future." 



A PERFECT WONDEB. 



W. T. RicHBY, Dempseytown, Pa., writes: "The 

 Golden Andalusia Bean I think is a perfect wonder; 

 they excel any bean I ever raised." 

 AHEAD OP AIfYTHIN"G HE EVER SA"W". 



Chas. T. Cook, Montville, Conn., writes : "I cannot 

 speak too highly in favor of the Golden Andalusia Bean ; 

 they go ahead of anything I ever saw. TkeCrown 

 Jewel are the earliest of potatoes; in sixty dayS from 

 planting, Tdug one bushel from one pound of seed." 



PAR SURPASSES AK"Y OTHER. 

 L. A. Walker, Belknap, m., writes: "The Gfolden 

 Andalusia far 8urpa,sses any bean I have ever seen for 

 productiveness, quality and fine flavor. All seeds pur- 

 chased of yoti are all you claim and more."

 Golden Andaluaia, I can safely say, are by far the best 

 bean I have ever gn^own,"
