POLE BEANS. 



Noxall Pole Bean* 



Green Pod. 



This beau is new to many of my customers, but not to 

 its friends. For a period of 60 years it bad been grown 

 in one family to the exclusion of all other pole beans. 

 Some 18 or 20 years ago one of my growers married into 

 this family, and in addition to securing a wife also se- 

 cured a few of these beans. Noxall is a very sure crop- 

 per, even in bad seasons, giving large crops when other 

 sorts have been an entire failure. Pods are long, round 

 and tender; excellent for planting among corn, exception- 

 ally good either for green, snap or shelled beans. Packet, 

 10 cts.; pint, 30 cts.; quart, 50 cts., postpaid. By express or 

 freight, not prepaid, quart, 35 cts.; peck, $2.00: bu., $7.50. 



LAZY WIVES— The green pods are wonderfully broad 

 i and above all, stringless. They retain their rich, stringle 

 | qualities until they are ripe; so much so, in fact, that I 

 j safe in saying they are the best of all snap shorts. This 

 I best climbers among the beans. The pods are from 6 to I 

 , exceedingly rich, buttery and fine flavored. Packet, 10 

 30 cents; quart, 50 cents, postpaid. By express or 

 , prepaid, quart, 35 cent*; peck, $2.50.
