POLE BEANS. 



19 



Early Golden Cluster Wax. A new and very valuable 

 pole wax bean. It bears in great abundance clusters of 

 long, golden-yellow pods from the bottom to the top of 

 the pole, and continues incessant in bearing from the 

 middle of July vmtil frost. The pods retain their ten- 

 derness long after the beans have attained a large size. 

 In all points necessary for a good market bean it excels. 

 Entirely distinct in seed, color, and habit of grov/th. 

 Pkt., 5c; pt., 30c; qt., 55c. 



Golden Champion Wax. One of the earliest and best 

 of the wax podded pole beans. Vines of medium size, 

 with yeUow stems and yeUowish-green leaves, giving 

 the whole plant a golden appearance. The pods are 

 long, cylindrical, much curved, very fleshy, striugless, 

 bright golden yellow, of excellent flavor, and are borne 

 in profuse clusters. The points of superiority in this 

 variety ai'e extreme earliness, great pi'oductiveness and 

 unusually fine color and quality of pods. Pkt., 5c; pt., 

 85c; qt., 60c. 



Kentucky Wonder or Old Homestead. The largest and 

 most fleshy-podded green Pole Bean. Vine a vigorous, 

 strong climber, excessively productive, bearing large 

 clusters of gi'een, crisp pods often nine and ten inches 

 in length, and nearly round when young. A very pro- 

 lific sort and one of the best. Not reconunended for a 

 dry bean, Pkt., 5c; pt., 25c; qt., 45c. 



Lazy Wife. The pods of medium dark green color are 

 produced in great pi'ofusion, and measure from five 

 to six inches in length ; broad, thick, very fleshy, and 

 entirely stringless. They retain their rich, tender qual- 

 ities until nearly ripe, and are imsurpassed at all stages. 

 Each pod contains from six to eight round white beans 

 which are excellent for winter. This matures late but 

 is valuable in extending the season. Pkt., 5c; pt., 25c; 

 qt., 45c. 



White Creaseback. The best eca-ly green pole bean 

 and very productive. The pods are from five to six 

 inches long, perfectly roimd and entirely free from 

 strings, very fleshy, and of the best quality. Recom- 

 mended as a good shipping sort. Pkt., 5c; pt., 25c; qt.,

Red Speckled Cut Short. Corn Field. An old variety, 

 but very jjopular for planting among corn, although it 

 will give a g(jod crop without the aid of poles. Vines 

 medimn, with smooth dark green foliage; pods short, 

 cylindrical and tender; beans nearly oblong, white, 

 and covered with minute, reddish spots, Pkt., 5c; pt.,

 bright scarlet flowers which are very ornamental, and 

 appear in great profusion. Pkt., 5c; pt., 30c; qt., 50c. 



LIMA BEANS. 



Extra Early Jersey Lima. The most profitable bean 

 for the mai-ket gardener, being fully ten days to two 

 weeks earlier than any other Lima. The pods are large 

 and numei-ous and the beans are of superior quality. 

 Pkt., 5c; pt., 30c; qt., 50c. 



Large White Lima. The standard for quality; largely 

 grown and highly esteemed. Not successful in the 

 northern tier of states. Pkt., 5c; pt., 25c; qt., 45c. 



Horticultural Lima. Said to be a cross between 

 Dreer's Pole Lima and the Dwarf Horticultural 

 Bean. It is a splendid sort, being extremely 

 early and of good quality. Especially valuable 

 from the fact that it may be successfully grown 

 in the North and in Canada, where the ordinary 

 Lima will not mature. Pkt., 5c; pt., 30c; qt., 45c. 



Henderson's Bush Lima. This is the earliest and 

 most productive of the Dwarf Limas. It growb 

 about eighteen inches high, in a compact bush 

 form, very productive, and at least two weelcs 

 eailier than any other Lima. The. beans are 

 small, but of good quality. Pkt., 5c; pt., 30c; 

 qt., .50c. 



Burpee's Bush Lima. A dwarf variety of the 

 well known Large Lima, growing to a height of 

 from eighteen to twenty-four inches and beai-ing 

 numerous pods filled with large luscious beans. 

 {See illustration). Pkt., .5c; pt., 40c; qt., 75c. 



Dreer's Bush Lima. Gi-ows to about two feet

 time after I'ipening. Though not so large a; 

 Buipee's, the bean is plumper and of a far supe- 

 rior flavor. Pkt., 5c; pt., 3.5c; qt., 70c. 



Jackson Wonder Lima. A bush variety of south- 

 ern origin, where it is held in high Esteem 

 Can be used when young for snap beans. It is 

 not waxy, hence cooks easily and quickly. Val- 

 uable for its foliage which furnishes an enoi'inous 

 crop of fodder, much liked by stock. The ri- 

 pened beans can be ground into a white flour 

 for thickening soups. Pkt., .5c; pt., 35c; qt., TOc. 



Dreer's Improved Lima. A very superior early sort,
