NEW GOLDEN WAX FLAGEOLET. This mag- 

 nificent New Wax Pole Bean, from Germany, is without 

 doubt one of the earliest of all the Pole Wax varieties, ripen- 

 ing almost as early as the Dwarf GermanWax. It is entirely 

 stringlesH, the pods growing seven to eight inches long, 

 round, fleshy, and of the finest quality, being exceedingly 

 tender and succulent. The vine begins to bear when quite 

 young, continuing to growand bearniost proCusely the entire 

 season. Itis worthy of thehighest praise,and wehopeevery

 this new variety, as it is sure to please. Pkt., lOc; pint, 35e.;

LAZY WIFE'S POLE. This fine Pole Bean, introduced 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 

 cooked. The pods remiiin green, and retain their tender, rich, string- 

 less flavor until nearly ripe. The beans ar.e white, and are unsurpassed 

 as shell beans for winter use. They are pronounced by all who liave 

 grown them the best green podded snap-short Pole Bean in cultivation. 

 We cannot recommend this bean too highly. Pkt., lOc.; pint, .35e.; qt., 

 60c., post-paid ; qt., 45c.; 4 qts., $1.50, by express. 



KING OF THE GARDEN LIMA. This new Lima Bean has fnlly 

 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 seven inches long, in clusters of four and five, 

 with five to six beans in a pod. Pkt.,10e.; pt., 25c.; qt.,50c., post-paid; 

 qt.,35c.; 4qts.,$1.25; peck, $2.25; bush., $9.00. 



Dreer's Improved Lima. Very productive and of superior quality; 

 when green they are nearly as large as the Large Lima, thicker, sweeter, 

 and more tender and nutritious, remaining green in the pod for a long 

 time after maturing. Pint, 30c.; qt., 55c.; peck, $2.50. 



Carolina, or Sewee. Similar in flavor to the Large Lima, produc- 

 ing beans about half the size, but more productive. Pint, 30c.; qt., 50c.; 

 peck, $2.25. 



Dutch Case Knife. One of the earliest and most productive used, 

 shelled, green or dry. Pint, 30e.; qt.,50c. 



CREASE-BACK, or BEST OF ALL POLE. A well-known and 

 highly esteemed Southern variety. Very early and productive. Forms 

 very full, round pods, distinctly creased along back, hence its name. 

 Pint, 30c.; qt., 60c. 



EXTRA EARLY GREEN CLUSTER. This new bean is 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 



"nem from Limas. They are frequently tit for the table before Lima 



leans commence to blossom. They are very productive, and continue 



1 bearing along time. Do not confound this variety with the Early 



rolden Cluster Wax Pole Bean, which is used as a snap-short. Pkt., 



Oc; pint, 30c.; qt., 50c.; peck, $2.50. 



SOUTHERN PROLIFIC, or KENTUCKY TVONDER. A splen- 

 id, vigorous and productive variety. Pods in clusters, succulent and 

 elieious; matures in seventy days from germination, bearing until frost, 

 'int, 25c.; qt., 45c.

 vireen pods. Pint, 25c.; qt.,50c.; peck, $1.75.

 from France, where it is most popular. The pods are tender, of a beau- 

 tiful green, growing from two to four feet in length, making them also 

 a great curiosity. Pkt.,10c.; pint, 4.5c.: qt., 75c. 



Horticultural, or Wren's Egg. An old favorite; equally good 

 as a snap or shelled. Pint, 25c.; qt., 45c.
