 List of 



VEGETABLE SEEDS. 



BEANS. DWARF WAX-PODDED— Cofttinued. 



Golden Scimitar, Henderson's. A perfect type of large, round-podded wax Bean 

 the top notch of achievement in the development of this class 



Golden Wax Improved. {See specialties page 4.) 



Golden-Eyed Wax. An early, vigorous variety, free from rust and blight, 

 bearing abundantly beautiful, tender, large, flat, waxy-golden pods. Il 

 grows li feet high, holding the pods well off the ground 



Hodson Long Pod Wax. {See specialties page 3.) 



Keeney's Rustless Wax. A vigorous wax-podded variety, wonderfully pro 

 ductive. and tearing continuously for weeks, if the pods are picked as soon 

 as ready. The pods are thick and meaty, entirely stringless, tender and of 

 fine quality. The plant throws out long pod-bearing tendrils which appear 

 at first like runners 



Alarket Wax. Henderson's. (See specialties page 4) 



Refugee Wax. {See specialties page 3.) 



Wardwell's Kidney Wax. One of the best large-podded wax Beans. Very 

 robust and hardy, producing a heavy crop of showy, large, long, flat wax 

 pods, not liable to rtist or blister 



Vosemite Mammoth Wax, Henderson's. A grand variety, yielding prodi 

 giously immense golden-yellow, waxy pods 10 to 14 inches long; they are 

 thick, meaty and absolutely stringless, cooking tender and delicious. It is a 

 robust growing sort, needing to be planted twice as far apart as ordinary bush 



Beans. Succeeds well on poor soils 



BEANS, BUSH LIMA. 



Early Qiant, Henderson's. (See specialties, page .5.) 



Improved " Henderson " Bush Lima. About five days later than the Hender 

 son, but the beans and pods are larger; it is not so prolific but equally good 

 in other respects 



" Henderson " Bush Lima. A true bush variety, 18 to 20 inches high, requiring 

 no support: enormously productive and extremely early, coming in weeks 

 ahead of any other Bush or Climbing Lima and bearing continuously until 

 frost, succeeding even in Northern States; the beans have the true Lima 

 flavor. The surest, and most prolific cropper of all 



Burpee's Bush Lima. A bush form of the Large White Lima, growing about 



20 inches high; the pods and beans are large. While not as early as the 



Henderson," but its large size commends it to many 



Fordhook Bush Lima. Of true bush habit, growing stiffly erect 2 to 2J feet in 

 height by about 2 feet across the top. The pods, borne in clusters, are 

 4 to 5 inches in length and contain three to five — averaging four — splendid 

 plump " potato lima " shaped beans, as large again as those of Dreer's or 

 the Kumerle Bush Lima. It is also several days earlier than the latter 

 and a much heavier cropper 



Dreer's Bush Lima. A most satisfactory variety for general crop for the 

 market gardener. Though not quite so compact as some other varieties 

 the habit of the plant is well fixed. It bears an enormous crop of very attrac- 

 tive beans of the same shape as the Dreer's Improved Pole Lima; just the 

 bean the market demands. The beans are produced near the centre of 

 the plant in enormous quantities and the plants bear clear up till frost 

 Few crops are more profitable 



New Wonder Bush Lima, Dreer's. .A distinct bush variety; plant and pod very 

 similar to Burpee's Bush, but earlier and a surer cropper; the shelled beans 



are handsome, tender and delicious. An acquisition 



BEANS, POLE LIMA. 



Early Leviathan Lima, Henderson's. {See specialties page 5.) 



Ideal, Henderson's. (See specialties page .5.)

 market use. The large, flat, kidney-shaped beans, shelled either green or 

 dried, are tender and delicious when cooked 



Potato Lima 



King of the Garden Lima 



Dreer's Improved Lima. A thick, almost round Bean of fine quality and a 

 large yielder; very early 



BEANS. CLIMBING or POLE. 



Old Homestead, This variety we consider superior to all other green-podded 

 pole Beans; enormously productive, extra early and continuous bearer; large 

 green pods in great clusters, stringless and tender 



White Creaseback. One of the finest early pole Beans bearing in profusion 

 clusters of fleshy green pods. 5 to 6 inhces long, deeply creased, perfectly 

 stringless. tender and of superior quality used as a " snap " Bean. The 

 matured beans are pure white and excellent shelled 



Golden Champion, Henderson's. The leading wax-podded pole Bean, very 

 early and a great and continuous bearer of enormous, light yellow waxy 

 pods, absolutely stringless, brittle and tender; a healthy grower, free from 

 rust 



Early Golden Cluster. Begins bearing in July, continuing to produce abtm^ 

 dantly until frost large clusters of golden-yellow pods 6 to 8 inches long and 

 of delicious flavor. Valuable either as a shell or snap 



Horticultural or Speckled Cranberry. An old and popular variety, useful either 

 as a green-podded snap Bean or when shelled 



Scarlet Runner. Popular both for ornamental and culinary purposes. It 

 grows about 10 feet high; large scarlet flowers, followed by large green-podded 

 beans; used either as a snap Bean or shelled
