NOXALL POLE BEAN. 
I first offered this new pole bean in 1901, under the descriptive name of Prolific Green Podded. 
My offer of $50 for a name was secured by W. C. Richards, Carleton, Mich. He writes: 
“Tt is superb in quality when cooked, which is the greatest consideration in a pole bean.

Giant Podded Stringless 
Valentine Bush Bean. 
This is an exceptionally good, green podded 
variety, with truly giant pods, which further- 
more are always stringless. The introducer 
‘claims it is a week earlier than any other 
‘Strain, that it has more pods, that the pods area 
third larger and more perfectly round and full, 
that it is absolutely stringless and that it sur- 
passes all competitors in crispness and flavor. 
My own experience withit at Briar Crestis very 
Satisfactory, and I am deeply impressed with 
its good quality and general availability, Itis 
undoubtedly early, of excellent flavor, string- 
less, and with pods unusually long and hand- 
some. This bush bean is thoroughly good, 
cand I eanrecommend it to my customers with- 
‘out reserve. It fills the basket quickly, sells 
‘readily and is of first-rate table quality; and

ithese are the points of rea] importance.

Longfellow (%:i") Bush Bean. 
This is a _ perfectly round, solid podded 
bean that is wonderfully tender and prolific, 
having no strings whatever except when the 
pods are very old. It is an ideal snap bean, of 
great prolifiecness, the plants being of a robust, 
compact habit, maturing very early. Pods are 
frequently over 6 inches long. I list Longfel- 
low at the earnest solicitation of half a dozen 
of my most critical market garden customers. 
Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents. 
Wood’s Prolific Bush Lima. 
Large, Early, Vineless and Very Prelific. 
This is a handsome, early and very prolific 
type of the large bush lima bean. It is a splen- 
did variety, probably destined to supersede all 
the other forms. In fact, theclaim is made that 
it is the most valuable improvement introduced 
since the first bush lima made its appearance. 
As to table quality, it is equal to the best. 
The plant makes a larger growth than the 
ordinary bush lima, and never indicates its in- 
tention of producing runners, but retains the 
bush form, and simply loads itself down with 
pods, yielding twice as much as the old sorts. 
Pkt., 10c.; pt., 80¢.; qt., 50¢c., postpaid. Pk., $1.50.
