Lima Beans (Phaseolus lunatus). Native of Tropical America. Under cultivation at least 1,000 years. 

 Dwarf Beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). Native of Peru. Under cultivation at least 4,000 years. 



Cv,„ JL D,,„'L Days to maturity, 75. This vigorous Lima is a prolific bearer, producing a large 



roranooK r>usn. number of P ods 



about 4 inches in length on vines growing to a 

 height of 15 inches. The dried Beans are rather 

 thick from side to side and are nearly white in 

 color. For table purposes, Fordhook does not 

 seem as desirable as the Wonder Bush. It, never- 

 theless, is a very profitable market Bean and its 

 quality is not bad. Price, delivered: V 4 lb. 15 cts.; 

 lb. 45 cts.; 2 lbs. 85c; 5 lbs. $2; 50 lbs. $17.50. 



Wonder Bush. r«If 



the later introductions, having been first of- 

 fered by Dreer. From the standpoint of table 

 quality, we believe it is one of the most desirable 

 Limas listed. The pods attain a length of 4 

 inches and contain an average of 4 Beans which 

 are flat in shape and of fine flavor. The Wonder 

 Bush is a prolific bearer, but is not the equal of 

 Fordhook. We, nevertheless, highly recom- 

 mend it. Price, delivered: Vilb. 15 cts.; lb. 40 

 cts.; 2 lbs. 75 cts.; 5 lbs. $1.75; 50 lbs. $15. 



Carpinteria Pole. JX-w. f£ 



is considered the most perfect Lima Bean 

 introduced up to this time. It produces large 

 quantities of handsome pods and is of an un- 

 surpassed flavor when prepared for the table. 

 The Beans themselves are not of the enormous 

 size boasted of in some varieties, but they are 

 exceedingly tender and hold their bright green 

 color when prepared for the table. Do not fail 

 to plant some Carpinteria Pole this year. It will 

 be your best Lima. Price, delivered : V41b. 15cts.; 

 lb. 40 cts.; 2 lbs. 75 cts.; 5 lbs. $1.75; 50 lbs. $15. 



Giant Stringless (Green). 



{JOHNSON & STOKES, 1898.} Days to ma- 

 turity, 45. After 25 years, Giant Stringless now 

 holds a very prominent place among Green Beans. 

 Like all Beans of this class, it must not be allowed 

 to remain on the vines after reaching marketable 

 size, but when picked young and handled promptly 

 it is of the highest table quality and of delicious 

 flavor. The bearing period of Giant Stringless is 

 comparatively short, and, therefore, continuous 

 plantings are suggested. The pods of the mature 

 Beans are from 5 to 6 in. long. Color of dry seeds, 

 yellow-brown. Price, delivered : Vilb. 15 cts.; lb. 

 35 cts.; 2 lbs. 65 cts.; 5 lbs. $1.50; 50 lbs. $13.50. 



Pencil-Pod (Wax). 



[JOHNSON & STOKES, 1900.) Days to ma- 

 turity, 45. This black-seeded stringless Bean is 

 by far the most hardy of its class. It is also 

 less susceptible to disease than other wax-podded 

 sorts. Although not as well known as the Round- 

 Pod Kidney Wax, we consider it to be of equal 

 quality. The slender pods grow to a length of 6 

 inches, being slightly curved near the tip. They 

 are round, seven-seeded, very clear yellow, abso- 

 lutely stringless and brittle. Color of dried seed, 

 black. Price, delivered: y 4 lb. 15 cts.; lb. 35c; 2 

 lbs. 65 cts.; 5 lbs. $1.50; 50 lbs. $13.50. 



Round- Pod Kidney (Wax). 



[JOHNSON & STOKES, 1900.) Days to ma- 

 turity, 45. This is, perhaps, the best known of 

 the Wax Beans. Round-Pod Kidney Wax is a 

 very desirable table Bean, being of high flavor 

 and excellent quality, but, as is the case with 

 all Beans of this class, must be gathered when 

 young. The pods are about 5 inches long, 

 slightly curved, round, yellow, brittle and entirely 

 stringless. More susceptible to cold weather than 

 Pencil-pod. Price, delivered : V^lb. 15 cts.; lb. 35 

 cts.; 2 lbs. 65 cts.; 5 lbs. $1.50; 50 lbs. $13.50.
