ROUND YELLOW SIX WEEKS, IMPROVED ROUND 



POD While this variety does not differ from the Early 

 Yellow Kidney Six Weeks in size or general appearance 

 of the vine, the pods are shorter, very much thicker, more 

 fleshy and quite stringless. Moreover, while retaining the 

 vigor and hardiness of the old sort, it is fully one week 

 earher. Dry bean, color of ordinary Six Weeks, but much 

 shorter. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c: Qt. 20c; 4 Qts. 60c; Ba. $3.00 



EARLY MOHAWK This sort is so much hardier than 

 the others that it can be planted earlier and often in this 

 way will furnish beans fit for use before any other kind. 

 Vines larg-e, stout, with large, coarse leaves which will 

 stand a slight frost; blossoms large, purple; pods long, 

 straight, coarse, with long, tapering point: beans long, 

 kidney-shaped, variegated with drab, purple and brown. 

 This variety is much in favor for forcing under glass, as 

 it matures quickly and carries a good weight of long, 

 large pods. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 20c; 4 Qts. 60c; Bushel 

 $3.00 



EARLY CHINA RED EYE Vines stout, erect, healthy, 

 with large leaves and white blossoms; pods short, straight, 

 flat, and if picked young of good quality as snaps; beans 

 medium sized, oblong, white with reddish-purple blotch 

 about the eye; when green they are thin-skinned, mealy 

 and tender; when baked they are dark colored, but of such 

 superior quality that many prefer them to any other sort. 

 Farmers who want to plant a few beans for home supply, 

 should by all means use this sort. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 16c; Ot. 

 20c; 4 Qts. 60c; Bushel $3.00 ^ 



MARBLEHEAD EARLY HORTICULTURAL a strain developed from the old 

 Horticultural, in which the pods and beans are darker, and which mature a little 

 earlier. This is the earliest green-shelled bean, and of the finest quality. Pkt. 10c:

Early China Red Eye 

 Beans. 



DWARF HORTICULTURAL vines com- 



pact, upright, with large leaves, and very 

 productive. Pods medium length, cylindri- 

 cal, curved, with splashes of bright red on a 

 yellowish ground. The ripe beans are large, 

 oval.plump,and nearly covered with splashes 

 of bright red. This is one of the best varieties 

 for use shelled green, and when in this con- 

 dition the beans are very large, easily shelled, 

 and although of quite different form, are 

 about equal to the Lima in quaUty. Pkt.

GODDARD, OR BOSTON FAVORITE 



Vines large, much branched, having short 

 runners, but very erect, forming a large 

 bush, leaflets large, much crimped, bright 

 green; flowers hght purplish-pink. Pods 

 large, long, flat, usually curved with long 

 curved points; green when young, but as the 

 beans become fit for use are beautifully 

 splashed and striped with crimson. Dry 

 beans marked like Dwarf Horticultural and 

 of the same color, but are longer and much 

 larger, making it more desirable for market 

 use. AVhen fit to shell green they are almost 

 as large as the Large Lima, and of nearly as 

 good quality. Pkt. 10c; Pt. loc; Qt. 20c;

M PROVED ®Hc-«- 

 GODDARD 



A sort developed from the preceding 

 and a great improvement. The vine is more 

 dwarf and compact, but at the same time 

 more hardy and prolific, and matures its 

 crop earlier, and the pods and beans though 

 similar, are much handsomer, larger and of 

 better quality. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Ot. 25c; 

 4 Qts. 75c; Bushel $4.00 ^

 cylindrical, green, becoming white, streaked 

 with purple as they mature; of good quality 

 as snaps; beans long, light drab, dotted and 

 splashed with purple. Pkt. lOc; Pt. 15c:

ViNELESS MARROW 



A splendid new bean for field culture. 

 Plant large, strong and vigorous, but com- 

 pact and without rvmners. bearing its crop 

 in the center and well up from the ground.

 and of the best quality. A wonderfully pro- 

 lific and valuable sort. Pkt. 10c; Pf. 15c; 

 Qt. 20c; 4 Qts. 60c: Bushel $3.50 



EARLY MARROW PEA, OR DWARF 

 WHITE NAVY a variety developed in 

 western New York, and not only a sure 

 cropper and much more prolific, but of bet- 

 ter quality than the common white bean, 

 and the beans are so hard as to resist the 

 attacks of the bean weevil better than most 

 sorts. Vines large, spreading, with occasional 

 runners and small, thin leaves, and small, 

 white flowers; very prolific, ripening its crop 

 early and all at once. Pods straight, short, 

 small, but containing six beans; beans small, 

 oval, white, handsome and of superior qual- 

 ity. Pkt. 10c: Pt. 15c; Qt, 20c; 4 Qts. 40c;

BROAD WINDSOR {English Dtcarf 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 brancheii than 

 those of the French bean. Pkt. 10c: Pt.
