This new bean, named and introduced by us two yeai> 

 since, has created a decided sensation among l)ean 

 growers. Nothing we liave ever introduced has brouglit 

 us so many unsolicited letters of the strongest praise from 

 all parts of the United States, only a very lew of which we 

 have room to publish below. Hundreds pronounce it 

 emphatically the inost valuable pole vatielij eixr offered. It 

 originated at Andalusia, Bucks County, Pa., with a cele- 

 brated bean grower. Our illustration, made from nature, 

 gives some idea of their wonderful jimdiutiveness, it being 

 nothi ng unusual to pickone-lialfliushrltotlireepecksfrom 

 a single vine at one picking. The pods are five to six 

 inches long, broad, thick, very fleshy and entirely string- 

 lesti^firr anrpctsaing all other varieties in this respect, and re- 

 taining these important <|ualities until almost ripe. 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 feat- 

 ure, as on account of their enormous productiveness, the 

 weight of a vine tilled 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 ccmtinue to bear profusely the entire season. The 

 beans when dry, are round as a bullet, i)ure white in 

 color, and also make a fine shell or winter bean. In great 

 prodiieliveness, Jine qualily and ecer-bearing eharacter they 

 stand unequalled by anv other pole bean in the world.

SA^EEPS THE MARKET. 



David A. Raemky, Martinsville, Ind., Sept. 9, 1889, 

 writes: "I have liad many garden seeds from difJFcrent 

 firms, but yours excel all others in purity and greatness of 

 growth. The Andalusia Bean is sweeping the market 

 here. I sell them readily at 40 cents per peck. I had hills 

 from which I picked off" one single shoot from a half 

 bushel to three pecks." 



BEST HE EVER SA"W. 



L. N. Watson, Liberty, Montgomery Co., Ohio: 

 "Your New Golden Andalusia Beans are without 

 question the most beautiful and best bean I ever saw or 

 tasted." 



A PERFECT WONDER. 



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

 Golden Andalusia Bean I think is a perfect wonder ; they 

 excel any bean I ever raised." 



FAR SURPASSES ANY OTHER. 



L. A. Walkek, Belknap, 111., writes : " The Golden 

 Andalusia far surpasses any bean I have ever seen for 

 productiveness, quality and fine flavor."

This new variety leads all other pole varieties in 

 earliness. It is distinct in 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. Tiie pods are a beautiful waxy 

 yellow, and are from six to eight inches long, borne pro- 

 fusely in clusters of four to six. Commencing to bear ten 

 <lays after the Dwarf Golden Wax, it continues to produce 

 an abundance of pods until frost sets in. P.vt., 10c. ; pint, 

 30c.; qt.,'55c., po.st-paid ; qt., 49c.; 4qts., $1.'40; peck, $2.50,

Three years' careful comparative tests by several of 

 our most prominent Lima Bean growers has proved this 

 sek'ction to be fully ten days or two weeks earlier than 

 iiny other. The pods are large and numerous, invariably 

 liaviug from five to .six beans of a pleasant shade of green 

 in each pod. These beans for the past two seasons have 

 appeared in Philadelphia markets about two weeks 

 ahead of all other Limas, selling at from S3. 00 to $4.00 per 

 bushel of pods. We advise all our customers who want 

 a " profitiible thing" in Lima Beans to plant this sort 

 largely. Pkt., lOc; pint, .3.5c.; qt. , 60c., post-paid; qt., 45c.;
