KENTUCKY WONDER OR OLD HOMESTEAD— This splendid va- 

 riety, iutroduoed in lias since been offered as Seek JS'i> 

 Further, and was introduced 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 nine or ten inches, 

 nearly round when young, and very crisp, becoming very ir- 

 regular and spongy as the btans ripen 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 being the same as Southern Prolific, but this is 

 an error, as the latter is two weeks later and has shorter 

 pods. \i pt. l'2c; pt. 22c; qt. 40c. 



LAZY WIFE-'°'^'>^ ^^^^ 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 acknow- 

 ledge this is a most important qualilication. Pods are rather 

 flattish, oval shape, and when fully grown are from four to six 

 inches long, exceedingly rich, buttery 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 un- 

 surpassed, and such is the peculiar taste and 

 pleasing flavor of this bean that we have 

 known persons who would not eat other varie- 

 ties of string beans after tasting Lazy Wife.

NEW WILLOW LEAF LIMA— Five thousand 

 •/rom one. This new and very unique pole 

 bean was brought prominently before the 

 .public but lately. It has reached such pop- 

 j'Ularity that it is now a standard sort. It 

 I* differs from all other beans known by its 

 beautiful deeply cut foliase, ajjtly descril'ed 

 by its name ''Willow Leaf." The beauty of 

 thi.s, although such an attraction, is over- 

 looked as soon as it begins to bloom, because 

 of the profusionor 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 ten. 

 der: fine flavor. 3^pt. I2c; pt. 22c; qt. 40c 



SEI BERT'S EARLY LIMA— The earliest true 

 Lima. No other sort so early or so good. 

 \-> large as the largest, making it the best 

 i -ima bean ever offered. The vine is excf-p)- 

 Lionally hardy and vigorous and not only 

 produces pods earlier, but continues lieaiiiig 

 longer than any other sort. The pods and 

 green beans are as large as those of the 

 KinL^ of the Garden Lima, and of belter 

 quality. Stock is limitfd this season. Or- 

 der early.. No proeressive gardener will fail 

 to try it. \4 pt" 15c; pt. 25c; qt. 45c. 



..Buckke's New Holstein.. 



'.this gr:iiidi;sl of all now varii'lics is of my own intiodiu'tion. 

 Its great jiopularity is shown by its lioiTig pl;uilcd in thousands of 

 gardens every season. Earliest of all pole beans. Very productive 

 and of fine clinging habit. 



HAHDY AND PRODUCTIVE, 



Continues to bear Ihioughoiil 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. K pt. 13c; pt.

CHILD'S MAMMOTH PODDED HORTICULTURAL LIMA. 



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 fit for use they are an luimcnsc size and of the 

 finest quality. This variety has been sold under many names, such 

 as Worcester, Hampden, and Mugwump Pole, but a great deal of the 

 stock offered has been impure, many i)lants being like London Horticul- 

 tural. We have developed a stock which is pure and sure to please 

 all who plant it. pt. 12c ; pt. 22c ; gt. 40c. 



EARLY GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX. 



A well known, early and very beautiful sort. Vines large, strong, 

 growing, vigorous, hardy; leaflets large, light green, crimped; flow- 

 ers yellowish-white; pods six to eight inches long, borne in abun- 

 dant clusters, each containing from three to six 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 THE 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. X Pt- 13c; pt. 22c; qt. 40c.

THE BEST WHITE LIMA. 



Practical value has been the object aimed 

 at in the development of this grand vari- 

 ety, which is the outcome of skillful selec- 

 tion. 



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 rar ely 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 recog- 

 nized as the best of all the Limas for either 

 the garden or the market. }4 pt. 15c ; pt.
