CHOICE SELECTION OF MONEY MAKING SORTS. 



EXTRA EARLY KING OF THE GARDEN LIMA — t — This is a care- 

 fully selected and improved strain of the old variety of large 

 Lima Bean and is so far superior to all other strains that I give 

 it the most prominent notice. Pods are very long, often contain- 

 ing" four to six very large beans. The beans are so large and 

 handsome that they will sell well in any market, while inquality 

 they are excellent. The pods are produced in such large clusters 

 that the vines present a beautiful sight. >.<pt. 15c, pt. 25c, qt. 40c. 



EARLY LARGE WHITE LIMA— 2— A greatly improved variety of 

 excellent quality. Vine tall growing, and vigorous ; leaves med- 

 ium size, smooth, light green ; blossoms small, white, pods borne 

 in clusters, long, broad, vei\y thin, dark green; beans large, oval 

 kidnev shaped, greenish white, flat. Sure to please, y, pt. 13c, 

 pt. 20c, qt. 33c. 



SEIBERT'S EARLY LIMA— 4— The earliest true Lima. No other 

 sort so early. No other sort so good. As large as the largest, 

 making it the best Lima Bean ever offered. The vine is excep- 

 tionally hardy and vigorous, and not only produces pods earlier, 

 but continues in bearing longer than any other sort. The pods 

 and green beans are as large as those of the King of the Garden 

 Lima and of better quality. Our stock is very limited, this sea- 

 son. Order early. No progressive gardener will fail to try it.

NEW WILLOW LEAF LIMA— S— 5,000 from one— This new and 

 very unique Pole bean was brought prominently before 

 the public but two years ago. It has reached such a de- 

 gree of popularity that it is now a standard sort. It 

 differs from all other beans known by its beautiful deep- 

 ly cut foliage, aptly described by its name "Willow 

 Leaf.'' It is so handsome that many gardeners have pronounced 

 it worthy of growing as an ornamental climbing vine, as the tri- 

 foliate leaves are of a rich, dark green color, all pendent, pre- 

 senting an attractive front. 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 astonish- 

 ing. The vines are full of bloom, and later become loaded with 

 pods. Vines bloom and bear pods of uniform size for a great 

 length of time; pure white beans, exceptionally tender; very 

 finest flavor; matures earlv. y, pt. 15c, pt. 25c, qt. 45c. 



NEW EARLY BLACK LIMA— 3— This valuable early Pole Lima is 

 certainly a marvel. As will be seen, the beans are so full and 

 plump that the ends are crowded square, and partially overlap 

 each other in the pod. The vines possess great vigor and won- 

 derful productiveness, as many as 1,500 to 2,000 pods are fre- 

 quently produced on a single plant. The pods have a uniform 

 length of about 3>< inches and contain from three to four beans 

 each, which are of a dark green color when cooked, and are 

 noted for their tenderness, delicate quality and delicious flavor, 

 both fresh or dried for winter use. x /, pt. 15c, pt. 28c, qt. 50c. 



CHILD'S HORTICULTURAL LIMA— 9— This novelty is a cross be- 

 tween the old Horticultural Bean — the finest flavored of all the 

 common pole beans — and the pole Lima ; the richest and most 

 buttery flavored of all beans. In color and markings this new 

 cross resembles the Horticultural, but is flat like the Lima, 

 while the flavor is a combination of these two finest of all beans. 

 The bean is fully three weeks earlier than any other Lima, and 

 is also much more prolific. An extra good variety for Canada 

 and Northern States, where the seasons are too short for the 

 tropical Lima to do well. It bears five to seven beans in a pod, 

 and as the pods are numerous, it is exceedingly prolific, which 

 added to its extreme earliness and fine combination of rich flav- 

 ors, makes it the most important Lima. J4pt. 15c, pt. 28c, qt. 50c. 



~ FOR PRICES IN 



BUCKBEE'S NEW HOLSTEIN— 11 — This grandest of all new varie- 

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

 iis being planted in thousands of gardens every season. Without 

 doubl ii is the earliest of all pole beans; monstrously productive 

 and of a line clinging habit, continues to bear throughout the. 

 season and is indeed a beautiful sight. The handsome, well-fillec 1 

 pods; which are borne in endless profusion, are long imd entirely 

 stringless, very even in shape and producing beans of the mos s 

 delicious quality. The beans, when ripe, are of a beautiful Hoi- 

 stein color, hence its name. Would advise you to order early.

 GOLDEN CHAMPION — 10 — We think this the earliest and at least 

 one of the best of the wax podded pole beans. Vines medium 

 size to large with golden yellow stems; leaves very light green, 

 strongly tinged with yellow, giving the whole plant a golden yel- 

 low appearance; flowers pink, pods long, cylindrical, very fleshy, 

 stringless and of excellent flavor. The dry bean is long, narrow, 

 flat, kidney shape, bluish-black. The points of superiority in 

 this variety are earliness, great prolificness and the unusually 

 line color and quality of the pods. % pt. 15c. pt. 25e, qt. 45e. 

 LAZY WIFE — 6 — This new variety has been for some years the 

 most popular pole bean grown. Pods are wonderfully broad, 

 thick and above all entirely stringless. In these respects they 

 surpass any I know of. They also surpass any other variety in 

 the w*ay vines cling to the poles, and every bean grower will at 

 once acknowledge this is a most important qualification. Pods 

 are rather flatfish, 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 pi'oduc- 

 tive. 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 pleas- 

 ant flavor of this bean that we have known persons who could 

 not be induced to eat other varieties of string beans after 

 tasting Lazy Wife. J.,'pt. 15c, pt. 28c, qt. 50c. 

 KENTUCKY WONDER OR OLD HOMESTEAD— 12— This splendid va- 

 riety is deservedly popular. 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 irregu- 

 lar and spongy as the beans ripen. Dry beans, long, oval dun 

 colored. A 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, has shorter pods, which never become spongy 

 and irregular in shape as they mature and the dry bean is fully 

 one-fourth smaller. 2° pt- 15c, pt. 25c, qt. 40c. 

 SCARLET RUNNER— 8— Chiefly grown for its flowers and beautiful 

 climbing effect. A prime favorite with all who are acquainted 

 with its merits. It is not only exceptionally ornamental but very 

 useful, as the beans, which are very large, are of fine flavor and 

 delicious quality, while the vine is so graceful and of such rapid 

 growth as to render it one of the best for arbors, etc. The flow- 

 ers are bright scarlet and bloom profusely until frost comes. 

 Not excelled. 2» pt. 12c, pt. 20c, qt. 35c. 

 RED SPECKLED CUT SHORT. OR CORN HILL— 7— An old variety 

 very popular for planting among corn and it will give a good 

 crop without the use of poles ; vines medium, not twining tightly, 

 with dark colored, smooth leaves and white blossoms in small 

 clusters; pods short, cylindrical and tender; beans nearly oblong, 

 cut off diagonally at the ends, white, covered at one end and 

 partially over the whole surface with reddish brown dots. } '. pt.
