B E AN S— POLE OR RUNNING— Continued 



wj I . Earlier, more proiluctive, 



rlarlequin and with much longer and 



more attractive pods than the well known 



London Horticultural or Speckled Cran- 

 berry, also hardier and a more reliable 



cropper. The large ovate beans are of the 



highest quality either green shelled or dry. 



Vines vigorous with large light colored 



leaves. Pods very long, six to seven inches, 



striped or splashed a deeper and more bril- 

 liant red than London Horticultural; dry 



beans a trifle longer. We considerthis the 



most attractive and the finest bean of the 



Horticultural class. (See cut, page 4.)

London Horticultural or mod- 

 Speckled Cranberry ^^ :ig

length, four and one-half to five and one- 

 half inches, broad, pale green when young, 



becoming as they mature yellowish gi'een 



striped or splashed with red. Beans large, 



ovate, flesh colored, splashed and spotted 



with wine-red and of the highest qualify, 



either green or dry. One of the best of the 



Horticultural varieties as a general pur- 

 pose late green shell bean for home or 



market. Many like this sort better tlian 



limas. Known also as Wren's Egg.

POLE LIMAS 



The culture is the same as for other pole 

 beans except that being more tender, the 

 seed is usually planted one to two wi^eks 

 later. In some classes of soil it will be 

 found of advantage to place the beans on 

 edge with the eye down as when planted 

 in this manner they germinate and come 

 up more readily. 



SM i> r" 1 I • In earliness, 



eibert s Larly Lima ease of shell- 

 ing, size, beauty and quality of the green 

 beans, this variety leads all other early 

 limas for either the garden or market. 

 Vine vigorous, very productive and con- 

 tinues so from the very first to the last of 

 the season. Podsmedium green, large. Hat, 

 about five inches long, moderately curved. 

 Green shelled beans very large, very 

 tender and of finest quality. Introduced 

 by us in 1895. Seed ov jid, flat with slight 

 greenish tinge. The beans shrink in dry- 

 ing so that the seed is about the size of the Large White Lima.

dium dark green, very large, five to six inches long, broad, 

 flat, filled with four or five immense white beans of finest qual-

 gardeners. It will come into bearing earlier and make larger 

 pods if not more than two vines are left to grow on a pole. 

 Seed very large, ovoid, flat, white, with slight greenish tinge.
