CHILD'S HORTICULTURAL LIMA— This novelty is a cross between 

 the old Horticultural Bean — the finest flavored of all the pol« 

 beans — and the pole Lima. Tne richest and most buttery fla- 

 vored of all beans. In coloring and markings this new cross re- 

 sembles the Horticultural, but is flat like the Lima, while the 

 flavor is exceedingly line. The bean is fully three weeks earlier 

 than any other Lima and much more prolific. It bears five to 

 seven beans to a pod and is exceedingly prolific ; added to its ex- 

 treme earliness and fine combination of rich flavors, makes it the 

 most important Lima. 14 pt. 15c, pt. 25c, qt. 40c. 

 BUCKBEE'S NEW HOLSTEIN— This grandest of all new varieties is 

 of my own introduction. Its great popularity is shown by its 

 being planted in thousands of gardens every season. Earliest 

 of all pole beans. Very productive and of fine clinging habit. 

 Continues to bear throughout the season and is a beautiful sight. 

 The ripe beans are of a beautiful Holstein color, hence its name. 

 Handsome pods, long, stringless, borne in profusion. }4 V^- l^C,

 GOLDEN CHAMPION— One of the best of the wax podded pole beans. 

 Vines medium size, with golden yellow stems. Flowers pink, 

 pods long, cylindrical and very fleshy. Very early and prolific.

 KENTUCKY WONDER, or OLD HOMESTEAD— Vine vigorous, climb- 

 ing well and very productive. Blossoms white, pods green, very 

 long. Two weeks earlier than Southern Prolific. Bean, long- 



oval, dun colored 

 SCARLET RUNNER 



CULTURE. 



These are even more sensitive to cold and wet, as well ;is 

 to droughts and liot winds than the dwarf varieties. After 

 settled warm weather, set poles four to eight feet long in rows 

 north and south four feet apart, the poles being three feet 

 apart in the row and set leaning to the north at an angle of 

 about 35 degrees. Set in this vray the vines climb better, 

 bear earlier, and the pods are straighter and more easily 

 seen. Around e;ich hill plant from five to eight beans two 

 inches deep. When well started thin to four plants, and 

 start any that fail to climb around the pole in the same way 

 as the others, for they will not grow well otherwise. 



EXTRA EARLY KING OF THE GARDEN LIMA— A care- 

 fully selected and improved strain of the old large 

 Lima Bean, and so far superior to all other strains 

 that I give it the most prominent notice. Pods very 

 long, often containing four to six very large beans. 

 The beans are so large and handsome that they sell 

 well in any market, while in quality they are excel- 

 lent. Pods are produced in large clusters and vines 

 present a beautiful sight. )4 Pt- 13c, pt. 20c, qt.35c. 



EARLY LARGE WHITE LIMA— A greatly improved 

 variety of excellent quality. Vine tall growing and 

 vigorous ; leaves medium size, light green ; blossoms 

 small,. white; pods borne in clusters, long, broad, 

 very thin, dark green ; beans large, kidney shaped, 

 greenish-white, flat. ]4 pt. 12c, pt. 20c. qt. 35c. 



SEIBERT'S EARLY LIMA— The earliest true Lima. 

 No other sort so early or good. As large as the 

 largest, making it the best Lima Bean ever offered. 

 The vine is exceptionally hardy and vigorous and 

 not only produces pods earlier, but continues bear- 

 ing longer than any other sort. The pods and green 

 beans are as large as those of the King of the Gar- 

 den Lima, and of better quality. Stock is limited 

 this season. Order early. No progressive' gard- 

 ener will fail to try it. >^ pt. 15(?, pt. 25c, qt. 45c. 



NEW WILLOW LEAF LIMA— Five thousand from one. 

 This new and very unique Pole bean was brought 

 prominently before the public but lately. It has 

 reached such popularity that it is now a standard sort. It differs from all other 

 beans known by its beautiful deeply cut foliage, aptly described by its name 

 " Willow Leaf." The beauty of this, although such an attraction, is over- 

 looked as soon as it begins to bloom, because of the profusion of blossoms, which 

 are truly astonishing. The vines are full of bloom, and later become loaded 

 with pods. Vines bloom and bear pods of uniform size for a long time. Pure 

 white beans, exceptionally tender; fine flavor. 3^ pt.loc, pt. 35c, qt. 40c. 



LAZY WIFE — The most popular pole bean grown. Pods are wonderfully broad, 

 thick and above all entirely stringless. They surpass any other variety in 

 the way vines cling to the poles, and every bean grower will at once acknowl- 

 edge this a most important qualification. Pods are rather flattish, oval shape, 

 and when fully grown are from four to six inches long, exceedingly rich, but- 

 tery and fine flavored when cooked. They are hardy, easily grown and most 

 productive. For an early and late snap sort, also as a dry shell or winter 

 bean it is unsurpassed, and such is the peculiar taste and pleasing flavor of 

 this bean that vre have known persons who would not eat other varieties of 

 strine beans after tasting Lazy Wife. 14 Pt- 12c, pt. 20c, qt. 35c. 



NEW EARLY BLACK LIMA— This valuable Lima is certainly a marvel. The beans 

 are so full and plump that the ends overlap each other in the pod. Vines pos- 

 sess great vigor and wonderful productiveness, as many as 2,000 pods being 

 produced on a single plant Pods contain three to four beans each, which are 

 of a dark green color when cooked ; noted for tenderness, delicate quality and 

 delicious flavor, both fresh or dried, for winter use. )4 Pt- 15c, pt. 25c, qt. 40c.

 soms. Beans large, kidney shaped

 RED SPECKLED CUT SHORT, or CORN 

 HILL — Very popular for planting among 

 corn, and will give a good crop without 

 the use of poles. Vines medium, not 

 twisting tightly, with dark colored, 

 smooth leaves and white blossoms. Pods short, cy- 

 lindrical and tender. Beans nearly oblong, cut oH 

 diagonally at the ends; white covered with red- 

 dish brown. ]4 pt. 12c, pt. 20c, qt. 35c. 

 WHITE DUTCH CASE KNIFE— Vines moderately vig- 

 orous, climbing well, but not twining as tightly as 

 some, and so may be used for a corn hill bean. 

 Leaves, large, crumpled; blossoms white; beans 

 broad, kidney shaped, flat, clear white and of excel- 

 Ifnt quality green or dry. pt. 12c, pt. 20c, qt. 35c. 



GOLDEN ANDALUSIA— The grandest of all pole beans. 

 The bright golden podsareoffinesize, just the right 

 length, delightfully stringless, broad, thick, fleshy, 

 fine flavored, and above all else very rich and but- 

 tery. Vines bear almost continually and profusely 

 throughout the entire season. You will make no 

 mistake in planting this variety. }4 pt. 12c, pt.20c,
