New Lazy Wife. 



PODS wonderfully broad, thick and entirely stringles?. Theysurpnss any 

 other variety in the way vines cling to the poles, and every bean grower 

 will at once acknowledge this is the most important qualification. 

 Pods fiattish, oval shape, and when fully grown are from 4 to 6 

 inches long, exceedingly rich, buttery and fine flavored when cooked. They 

 are hardy, easily grown and most productive. Surpassingly fine 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 we have known 

 persons who would not eat other varieties of String Beans after tasting Lazy 

 Wife. y. pt. 12c; pt. 22c; qt. 40c. 



CHILD'S MAMMOTH PODDED HORTI- 

 CULTURAL POLE. 



Similar in general character to the London Horticultural, but larger in 

 every way. The mammoth pods are striped and splashed with exceedingly 

 brilliant crimson. The beans when dry are marked like the pods; when tit 

 for use they are an immense size and of the finest quality. This variety has 

 heen sold under many names, such as Worcester, Hampden, and Mugwump 

 Pole, but a great deal of the stock offered has been impure, manyplants 

 being like London Horticultural. We have developed a si "*ck whichis pure 

 and sure to please all who plant it. H pt. 12c.; pt. 22c; %^\. 40c 



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." 



Hardy and Productive — The beauty of this, although such an attraction, is overlooked 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. y 2 pt. 12c; pt. 22c; qt- 4.0c. 



EARLY GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX.

 large, light green, crimped; flowers yellowish-white; pods 6 to 8 inches long, borne in abundant clusters, 

 each containing from 3 to 6 pods, which are broad, very thick and fleshy, deeply creased along the 

 edge to which the beans are attached; much curved; color bright golden yellow. Of tlie very best 

 quality, and staying; in condition for use a long time. The beans are also excellent 

 shelled green. We recommend this variety as furnishing the largest and handsomest pods of any sort in 

 the list. H pt. 12c; pt. 22c; qt. 40c 



SEIBERT'S EARLY LIMA. 



The earliest true Lima. Ko other sort so early or so good. As large as the largest, making it the best 

 Lima Bean ever offered. The vine is exceptionally hardy, vigorous, and not only produces pods earlier, 

 but continues bearing longer than any other sort. In earliness, ease of shelling, size, beauty and quality 

 of the green beans, this variety is far in advance of all other sorts. The pods and green beans are as 

 large as those of the King of the Garden Lima, and of better quality. Stock is 1 imited this season. 

 Order early. No progressive gardener will fail to try it. M pt. 12c; pt. 22c; qt. 40c- 



BUCKBEE'S NEW KING OF THE GARDEN LIMA. 



(The Best White Lima.) 



Practical value has been the object aimed at in the development of this grand variety, which is the 

 outcome of skillful selection. It furnishes the largest green beans, and is the most easily 

 shelled of any of the Limas. 



The vine is so productive that although the pods rarely contain more than four beans, the yield is 

 enormous and is produced from the very first to the last of the season. 



The green shelled beans are of immense size, but so tender and succulent that they shrink in drying 

 to about the size of the Large White Lima. It is the best Lima Bean ever offered for market 

 gardeners' use. 



In yield, ease of shelling, size, beauty and quality of the green beans, this variety is in advance of all 

 other sorts, and is recognized as the best of all the Limas for either the garden or the market. l < pt.

FAMOUS KENTUCKY WONDER 



Or Old Homestead. 



This splendid variety, introduced in 1885, has since been offered as Seek No Further, and was intro- 

 duced in 1891 as a novelty under the name of Old Homestead. Vine vigorous, climbing well and very 

 productive, bearing its pods in large clusters; blossoms white; pods green, very long, often reaching 

 9 or 10 inches, nearly round when young, and very crisp, becoming very irregular and spongy as the 

 beans ripen. Has no Equal. Dry beans long, oval, dun-colored. An early and very prolific sort, with 

 showy pods, which are most excellent for snaps. It is sometimes catalogued as Southern Prolific, 

 but this is an error, as the latter is two weeks later and has shorter pods. ?•-< pt. 12c; pt. 22c.:
