EARLY MOHAWK. This sort is so much hardier than the 



others that it can be planted earUer and often will furnish 



beans fit for use before any other kind. Vines large, stout, 



with large, coarse leaves; pods long, straight, coarse, flat, 



with long, tapering points; seed long, kidney-shaped. 



variegated with drab, purple and brown. This variety is 



much in favor for forcing under glass, as rt matures 



leaflets large, crimped, bright green ; pods large, long, flat, 

 usually curved, with long, curved points; green when 

 young, but as the beans become flt for use are splashed 

 and striped with crimson. Green beans very larga ^ 

 splashed with red and of fine quahty. Seed marked liklr 

 Dwarf Horticultural and of the same color, but longer and 

 much larger, making them more desirable for market use. 

 The green beans are almost as large, though different 

 in shape and quite as good in quality as those of the 

 Large Lima. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c;

BEST OF ALL. The hardy, vigorous vine produces an 

 abundance of very straight, handsome pods which when 

 fit for use as snaps, are very brittle and of a peculiar deep 

 green color. As the pods mature they become lighter in 

 color and splashed with bright red. When fit for use as 

 green shelled, the beans are large, mottled with red, ten- 

 der and of fine quality. One of the hardiest and best of 

 the green-podded varieties. Seed large, kidney-shaped, 

 mottled in two shades of red. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c;

quickly and carries a good weight of long, large pods.

Refugee, or Thousand to One lX^nl%V. 



ceedingly hardy, with small, smooth leaves; very late and 

 esteemed for late planting and for use as pickles; pods 

 long, cylindrical, green, becoming white, streaked '\^ith pur- 

 ple as they mature: of good quality as snaps; seed long, 

 light drab, thickly dotted and splashed with purple.

Tlie following four Bush, or Snap SortS^'are also extensively planted as field beans. 



ROYAL DWARF KIDNEY. Plant large, branching, with 

 large, broad leaves; pods medium sized, dark green, 

 coarse; beans large, white, kidney-shaped, slightly flat- 

 tened and of excellent quality, green or dry. Pkt. 10c; 

 . Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bushel $4.00 

 »/ LARGE WHITE MARROW, OR MOUNTAIN. Vines large, 

 '^ slender, spreading, with short runners and small leaves; 

 Xery prolific; pods medium, broad, green, changing to yel-' 

 y low; beans large, clear white, ovoid, cooking very dry and ' 

 / mealy. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qts. 75c; Bu. $4.00 

 / EARLY MARROW PEA, OR DWARF WHITE NAVY. A 

 variety developed in western New York. Is a sure cropper, 

 and not only more prolific than the common white bean, 

 but also of better quality. Vines large, spreading, with 

 small, thin leaves, and occasional runners; very prolific, 

 ripening its crop early and all at once. Pods straight, 

 short, small, bvit containing six beans; beans small, oval, 

 white, handsome, and of supe- 

 rior quality. Pkt.lOc; Pt.l5c; 

 Qt. 20c; 4 Qts. 60c; Bu. $3.50 



VINELESS MARROW. A splendid bean for field culture. 

 Plant large, strong and vigorous, but compact and without 

 ninners, bearing its crop in the center and well up from the 

 ground. The dry beans are very large, very white, and of 

 the best quality. A wonderfully prolific and valuable sort.

-BROAD WINDSOR. (English Dtvarf or Broad'). This is 

 entirely distinct from the common or French bean. The 

 large, coarse pods are borne on stout plants which are 

 coarser, more erect, and less branched than those of the 

 French bean. It is largely used in Europe, but does not do 

 well in the hot, dry sunmiers of America. Seed large, of 

 flat, unsymmetrical shape; light brown color. Pkt. 10c; 

 Pt. 25c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bushel $7.50 



LIMA. BBANS 



This comparatively new class of beans cannot be 

 recommended too highly. They can be grown and 

 gathered much more easily than the pole Limas, and 

 are fully as good in quality. Every home garden 

 should have at least one planting of these beans. 



bonder Busb Lima 



A fine new bean introduced by Dreer. It is similar 

 to Dwarf Large White Lima, but the pods are 

 larger, borne more in the center of the vine and 

 mature a little earlier. The vine also is less inclined 

 to form an occasional runner and we think is more 

 productive. Green beans and the seeds like those 

 of Dwarf Large White Lima. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; 

 Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bushel $7.50 



Dwarf Large White Lima 



Wonder Bush 

 Lima Bean. 



A bush form of the true Large Lima. Plants uni- 

 formly dwarf, but enormously productive. The 

 pods are as large as those of the Large Lima, and 

 contain from three to five very large, flat beans of 

 the best quality. While not quite as early as the Dwarf 

 Sieva, this is considered by many to be of better quality, 

 fully equaUng in this respect the Large White Lima. Any 

 one who has tried this variety will wish to plant it again. 

 ■ Seed of medium size, flat, white. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; 

 Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bushel $7.50 



BUSH LIMA, OR DWARF SIEVA. (Henderson s), 

 A dwarf form of the Small Lima, and valuable because of 

 its extreme earliness. Vines are without runners, but con- 

 tinue to grow and set pods until stopped by frost; leaves 

 small and very dark green; borne in clusters and often 

 above the foliage; pods short, flat, and containing two to 

 four beans, which are of excellent quality either green 

 shelled or dry. Seed small, flat and white. 



Crop failed. 



KUMERLE BUSH LIMA. A dwarf form of the ChaUenger Lima, having the same thick pods and 

 . large, thick beans which have made the Challenger so popular. The plant, while fully as dwarf, 

 is hardier, and matures its crop earUer than the Dwarf Large White Lima. Many people consider 

 this sort the best of the Dwarf Limas. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bu. $8.00 



// Beans are ordered by mail or express, prepaid, add 10 cents per pint, 15 cents per quart, for charges.
