FOR THE VEGETABLE 


GOLDEN PODDED BUSH BEANS — Continued. 
Black-Eyed Wax. A cross between the Golden and BlackWax, 
combining the best characteristies of each with the advantage of 
being three to five days earlier than either variety. It is a 
strong grower, very productive, tender, and of exceptionally fine 
flavor. The pods closely resemble those of the Black Wax, 
while the seed beans are marked around the eye with black. 
Pkt. 10 ets., qt. 40 cts., peck $2.00, bu. $6.00. 
Black Wax. One of the best varieties; pods when fit for use are 
waxy yellow, very tender, delicious and productive.

Perfection Wax Bean. An excellent golden podded dwarf 
Bean. The pods are large and borne profusely; are stringless, 
tender and of fine flavor. It is remarkably productive, free from 
blight, and in all respects a desirable sort. kurta 
Pkt. 10 ets., qt. 40 ets., peck $2.00, bu. 37.00. 
White Wax. Pods yellow and of good quality, does not spot eas- 
ily, and is a good sort for ordinary use; it is also valued for 
its white seed as a winter shelled bean.

Dole Beans.

All under this head require poles 8 to 10 feet long, and should not be planted until the ground is warm, as they are 
more tender than the dwarf varieties. Plant about the middle of May if the season is suitable. Lima Beans are apt 
to rot if planted too early. Set poles 4 feet apart each way, and plant 4 to 6 beans about 1 inch deep around each 
pole. When sowing Lima Beans place the eye downwards, and thin out to 3 plants to a pole, if the soil is rich; 
inch off the ends when the plants overrun the top of the poles, to effect more perfect growth below. They succeed 
est in sandy loam, with a shovelful of rich, light, and well-rotted compost to each hill, well incorporated. Lima 
Beans for early use may be grown in frames aad transplanted.

EARLY GOLDEN CLUSTER 
Is without exception the best Pole Bean. It bears pro- 
fusely its long golden-yellow beans in clusters of three to 
six from bottom to top of pole, and continues in bear- 
ing from the middle of July till the vines are cut by frost. 
Among private gardeners it is taking the place of the 
dwarf beans, as it furnishes a supply of string beans 
through the entire season. In all the points requisite to a 
good bean for market this variety excels, and it will meet 
the approval of all careful growers, It is distinct in seed, 
in color and habit of growth, The pods retain their ten- 
derness 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. For 
quality, we have no hesitancy in saying it is the “Acme 
of Perfection”? among pole beans, combining as it does the 
flavor of the Flageolet with the crisp tenderness of the 
Golden Wax. Pkt. 15 ets., qt. 50 ets., peck $3.00. 
Black Wax. One of the best to use as a snap-short or 
shelled in the green state. 
Pkt. 10 ets., qt. 40 ets., peck $2.50. 
Giant Wax. Pods from 6 to 9 inches long, thick and 
fleshy, of a pale yellow, waxy color, very productive 
and tender when full grown. 
Pkt. 10 cts., qt. 40 ets., peck $2.75. 
Southern Prolific. Producing in clusters excellent 
snap-short beans in 80 days from germination. Vigor- 
ous grower, prolific, bearing until killed by frost.

Mr. DREER: Iwrite to let you know of my success with your Early 
Qolden Cluster Pole Bean.. Last spring I sent for a packet, which T 
planted. I am in the northernmost and coldest part of Canada, and this 
was an unfavorable season; but in spite of all disadvantages the beans 
bore a full crop of the largest and finest beans I have ever seen, which 
ripened for seed—so I think that your bean will grow any place where 
beans can be grown at all. CHARLES IVES, 
Miscouche, Prince Edwards Island, Canada.
