 dium size, thick flesh, pods about the size and shape of 

 the green Valentine. It is very early, and our trade has 

 been much pleased with this bean. It is free from rust 

 and almost stringless. Pint, 15 cents ; quart, 25 cents ; 

 gallon, 75 cents; peck, $1.50; bushel, $5.50.

 been much attention given to the improvement of wax 

 beans, and this variety is one of the best. It is abso- 

 lutely rust-proof. Pods grow long, flat, and are tender

 cents; quart, 25 cents; gallon, 75 cents; peck, $1.50;

WARDWELL'S KIDNEY WAX. 



This variety is very hardy, and both pods and plants 

 are more robust than usual for a wax bean. The shape 

 of the beans is distinct from all other wax varieties, 

 being of a perfect kidney shape. It produces a heavy 

 crop of pure wax pods, which are very long, flat, showy, 

 and are not liable to rust and blister ; very early. Pint, 

 15 cents; quart, 25 cents; peck, $1.60; bushel, $6.00.

(One Quart to 150 Hills; 10 to 12 Quarts to the Acre.) 

 ADD 15 CENTS PER QUART ON BEANS IF TO BE SENT BY MAIL 



CULTURE OF POLE BEANS. — Choose light soil and make small hills 3 feet apart, having previously spaded 

 deeply and fertilized. Plant long pole 2 feet deep in the center of the hills. Allow 6 beans to each hill, covering 

 them barely beneath the surface, their eyes downward. Do not allow more than three to climb a pole, but remove 

 extra plants to hills where less than three have sprouted. The Lima Bean is very delicate and often, from slight causes, 

 fails to sprout. They should not be planted until the ground is warm. 



Lazy Wife. — One of the best, for snaps, of the later green podded pole beans. The numerous pods, borne in large 

 clusters, are 5 to 7 inches long, broad, thick, fleshy, and entirely stringless. When young, they have a rich, buttery 

 flavor, which is retained until they are nearly ripe. The dry beans are excellent for winter use. Seed white. Packet, 

 10 cents; pint, 15 cents; quart, 25 cents; gallon, 75 cents; bushel, $5.00. 



Cherry Pole, Or Horticultural Pole Bean (CUt Short).— Vines moderately vigorous, with large, light- 

 colored leaves; pods short, pale green, but becoming streaked with bright red; beans large, ovate, splashed and spotted 

 with wine red and of the highest quality either green or dry. Many people like them better than the Limas. Packet, 

 10 cents; pint, 15 cents; quart, 25 cents; gallon, 75 cents; bushel, $5.00. 



Golden Carmine Horticultural. — This new pole bean is strikingly handsome, especially as the golden-yellow 

 pods mature and take on brilliant splashes of bright carmine red. Remarkably good in other points also, being early, 

 very productive, and of excellent quality. As a wax-podded snap it is tender, brittle, stringless and fine-flavored. It 

 is unsurpassed when shelled, either green or dry. Vine similar to Mammoth Podded Horticultural, leaf a little larger 

 and foliage a bright yellowish-green. The very large pods are 6 to 8 inches long, straight and very broad. A bean 

 of such marked excellence, and withal so attractive in shape and color, will certainly come rapidly into general favor. 

 Pint, 15 cents; quart, 30 cents; gallon, $1.00; peck, $2.00.
