XEAV GOI.DEN AVAX FLAGEO- 

 UET. After an exhavistive trial Ave impor- 

 ted our original seed of this magnificent 

 New Wax Pole Bean direct from Germany. 

 It is without doubt one of the earliest of 

 all the Pole Wax varieties ripening almost 

 as early as the Dwarf German Wax. It is 

 entirely strlngless, the pods groTvlng 

 seven to eight inches long, round, fleshy, 

 and ofthe finest qualitj'.being exceedingly 

 tender and succulent. Thevine begins to 

 bear when quite young, continuing to grow 

 and bear most profusely the entire season. It 

 isworthy ofthehighestpraise,and we hope 

 every customer who orders beans will 

 includeatleastapacketof this new variety, 

 as it is sure to please. Pkt.,10c.; pint, 20c.; 

 qt., 40c., peck, S3.00. 



KING OF THE GARDEN LIMA. 

 This new Lima Bean has fully sustained 

 the strong claims made for it. They are 

 vigorous growers, setting their beans early 

 at bottom of pole, producing continuously 

 to the end of the season. They are more 

 prolific than the ordinary Lima, bearing 

 their pods five to eight inches long, in 

 clusters of four and five, with five to si.\ 

 beans in .a pod. Pkt., 10c. ; pt., 20c.; qt., 

 40c., 4 qts., S1.50; peck, $2.75; bush., SIO.OO.

 tion from the large Lima Bean of extraor- 

 dinarv size and deep green color. Pint,

 of the Pole Beans, either green or dry.

 bush., S9.00. 



Dreer's Improved Eima.. Very pro- 

 ductive and of superior quality; "when 

 green they are nearly lus large as the Large 

 Lima, thicker, sweeter, and more tender 

 and nutritious, remaining green in the pod 

 I'oraloiig time after maturing. Pint, 20c.; 

 ■ qt., 40c. ; peck, S2..50. 



Carolina, or Sewee. Similar in flavor 

 to the Large Lima, producing beans about 

 half the size, but more productive. Pint, 

 ISc; qt., 35c.; peck, §2.2-5. 



Dutcli Case-Knife. One of the earliest 

 and most productive used, shelled, green

 known and highly esteemed Southern variety. Very early 

 and productive. Forms very full, round pods, distinctly 

 creasecl along back, hence its name. Pint. 40c.; qt., 70c. 



EXTRA EAREY GREEN CLUSTER. This new bean 

 5s almost as early as the Bush varieties. The pods are green 

 while the beans are white and nearly as large as the Lima, 

 and when cooked possess the rich flavor of that variety to 

 such an extent that it is difficult to distinguish them from 

 Limas. They are frequently fit for the table before Lima 

 Beans commence to blossom. They are very productive, and 

 continue in bearing a long time. Do not confound this 

 variety with the Early Go'den ( luster Wax Pole Bean, which 

 is used as a snai>-short. Pkt., Inc.; pint, 30c.; qt., 50c.; peck, 

 S2..50.

 pods are tender, of a beautiful green, growing from two to 

 four feet in length, making them also a great curiosity. Pkt.,
