EXTRA EAKLT KING 



EXTRA EARLY KING OP THE GARDEN LIMA— 



(See Cut.) — This is a selected and greatly improved strain of the 

 old favorite large Lima bean, and is so far superior to all other 



r.iins that I give it the most prominent notice. It is an excep- 

 tionally vigorous and luxuriant grower and furnishes a bountiful 

 su 'I'l.v "of the most enormous pods, many specimens measuring 

 from five to eight inches and often producing from five to seven 

 Wo, ins to a pod, all perfectly formed and possessing the most su- 

 per 1 ) qualities. It requires but one pole for two vines, and when 

 no! closely planted they set their beans exceptionally 

 early and continue one solid mass of fruitage 

 and bloom to the extreme end of the season. The 

 beans are so large and handsome that they sell well 

 nn all markets, and being of such delicious and excel- 

 lent quality, have no superior for table and general 

 culinary purposes. 'It is certainly the best Lima bean 

 in existence and will give you the best of satisfaction 

 for all purposes. x i pt. Inc., pt. 25c, qt. 40c, % bu.

LAZY WIFE— (See Cut.)— This new variety has 

 for a number of years the most popular Pole 

 Bean grown. Pods are wonderfully broad, thick, 

 fleshy, and above all, entirely stringless. In these re- 

 spects they surpass any other I know of. Then, 

 again, the pods retain their rich, stringless and tender 

 qualities until they are almost ripe; so much so, in 

 fact, that I am perfectly safe in saying they are the 

 best of all snap-sorts. They also surpass every va- 

 . \ in the way vinss cling to the pole, and every 

 bean grower will at once acknowledge this is a most 

 Important qualification. Its name, I think, implies 

 productiveness, for, the vines being covered all sum- 

 mer with masses of beautiful pods, it is just the sort 

 to suit la '.y wives, as a mess can soon be picked for 

 dinner. Pods are rather fiattish. oval shape, and 

 wheu fully grown, are from 4 to 6 inches long, ex- 

 ceedingly rich, buttery and fine flavored when cooked. 

 They are hardy, easily grown and enormously pro- 

 ductive. I could furnish hundreds of testimonials 

 from persons who have grown and used the Lazy 

 Wife bean, all claiming it to be the best bean they 

 have ever tried, and many have discarded all other 

 kinds, using this for an early and late snap-sort, and 

 also as dry, shell or winter bean ; and such is the 

 peculiar taste and pleasant flavor of this bean that

we have known many persons who could not be induced to eat 

 other varieties of string- beans after tasting Lazy Wife, if the* 

 could obtain the latter. >£Pt. 15c, pt. 35c. 



BUCKBEE'S NEW HOLSTEIN— (See Cut.)— This grant! 

 and finest of all new varieties is of my own inti'oduction. lt» 

 great popularity is shown by its being planted in thousands o) 

 gardens every season. Without doubt this is the earliest of al; 

 Pole beans ; monstrously productive and of a fine clinging habit, 

 continues to bear throughout the season, and is indeed a beauti- 

 ful sight. The handsome, well filled 

 pods which aro borne in endless profu- 

 sion are long and exceedingly striking; 

 entirely stringless, very even in shape 

 and producing beans of the most deli- 

 cious quality. When once you havt 

 planted this grand sort you will not do 

 without it as it is the best of all for 

 family, market and shipping purposes 

 The Beans when ripe are of fine, even 

 size, being exquisitely marked a beauti- 

 ful Holstein color, as you will see in the 

 illustration, hence its name. I have a fine stock 

 of this grand, good variety this season, much 

 larger than ever before, and hope to supply al! 

 demands, hut would advise you to order early

NEW WILLOW LEAP LIMA— 5,000 

 From One— (See Cut.) — This new and verj 

 unique Pole bean was brought prominently bo 

 fore the public but two years ago. It has 

 reached such a degree of popularity that it is 

 now a standard sort. It differs from all othet 

 beans known in its beautiful, deeply cut foliage, 

 aptly described by its name "Willow Leaf." It 

 is so handsome that many gardeners have pro- 

 nounced it worthy of growing as an ornamentai 

 climbing vine, as the trifoliate leaves are of a 

 rich, dark green color, all pendent, presenting 

 an attractive front. The beauty of this, al- 

 though such an attraction, is overlooked as soot 

 as it begins to bloom, because of the profusion 

 of blossoms which are truly astonishing. The 

 vines are full of bloom and later become loadeo 

 with pods. "Vines bloom and bear pods of uniform 

 size for a great length of time ; pure white beans; 

 exceptionally tender ; very finest flavor; mature* 

 beans early. Pkt. 5c, pt. 20c, pt. 30c, qt. 50t>
