NEW GOLDEN-EYED BUTTER WAX. The pods 

 are long, stiaiglit and flat, and remarkably free from blight 

 and rust. The fact that when picked along with other wax 

 varieties it keeps bright and crisp long after the others are 

 wilted, makes it one of the best for shipping long distances.

DAY'S LEAFLESS MEDIUM. The originator, Mr.

 ists in New York State. The pods are long, well filled, con- 

 taining from five to seven beans of a pearly white color, pro- 

 ducing from 50 to 60 bushels per acre. The vine .stands up 

 well, grows abundant foliage, and just previous to the time 

 of ripening, all the leaves fall oflf, so that each and every 

 pod is exposed to the action of the sun's rays and ripens 

 evenly. Matures in from seventy to eighty days from date 

 of planting. Pint, 2-dc.; qt., 40c.; peck, $1.25; bush., $4.50.

fiexxi Golden Pod Andalusia 

 Pole Bean 



This new bean, introduced by us nine years since, has 

 created a decided sensation wherever grown. The pods are 

 five to six inches long, broad, thick, very fleshy, and entirely 

 stringless, far surpassing all other varieties in tliis respect, and 

 retaining these important qualities until almost ripe. The 

 pods when fully grown are from five to six inches long, ex- 

 ceedingly rich, buttery and fine flavored. The vines cling 

 well to the poles, a very important feature, as owing to its 

 wonderful productiveness, the weight of a vine filled with 

 such a mass of large pods is very great. They commence 

 bearing 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, and also 

 make a fine shell or winter bean. Pint, 30c.; qt., 55c., post^ 

 paid; qt., 40c.; peck, $2.25; bush., $8.00, by freight or 

 express. 



Iiazy Wife's Pole Bean 



The best and largest Green Podded Pole Bean, first intro- 

 duced by us some years since. The pods grow from four to 

 six inches long, entirely stringless, and of a rich, buttery 

 flavor when cooked. The pods remain green, and retain 

 their tender, rich, stringless flavor until nearly ripe. The 

 beans are white, and 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. 

 Pint, 20c.; qt., 40e.; peck, $1.35 ; bush., $5.00.
