 which they may have special interest.

 podded varieties. It may be planted from a week to ten days earlier than 

 any other green bean, and is not liable to rot during cold wet weather.

 sirable for planting as a late crop. Pkt., 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 

 50 cts.; gallon, $1.75; peck, $3-25; bushel, $12.00-

 largest podded, largest seeded and heaviest cropper of all Pole Lima Beans.
