Henderson's Bush Lima. This is a 

 Dwarf Butter Bean, growing from 18 to 

 24 inches high. It is early and produc- 

 tive. It should be called Dwarf Carolina 

 or Sewee Bean, as the pods are the size 

 of that variet3^ 



Henderson's Dwarf Lima. 



Davis Wax. Without doubt the best 

 white seeded Dwarf Wax Bean in cultiva- 

 tion. The pods are clear waxy white, 

 long, straight and thick. It is very early, 

 productive and handsome in appearance. 

 The plant is of a sturdy robust habit, 

 which enables it to hold up the pods from 

 coming in contact with the soil. Good 

 for shipping. 



Giant Stringless Green Pod Dwarf. 

 With all the merits of its name-sake it 

 has in addition larger pods and is more 

 productive. Pods of this variety are one- 

 third larger than Valentine, and it is 

 claimed that it is earlier; not so early 

 as the original Stringless Green Pod, but 

 it is desirable to plant with that variety 

 for a succession. It retains all the char- 

 acteristics and good qualities of its pa- 



rent, but with a very much larger and 

 more showy pod. In quality no variety 

 surpasses it; gardeners and truckers 

 should give it a thorough trial. 



Longfellow Green-Podded. An extra 

 early variety, of fine quality, an ideal 

 snap bean, a prolific producer of perfect- 

 ly round, straight, solid, fleshy pods 

 averaging 6i^ inches long, wonderfully 

 tender and brittle, without a trace of 

 tough interlining, and having no string 

 when broken, excepting when the pods 

 are quite old. The flavor is delicious, 

 captivating the most critical, while the 

 delicate green color of the pods is re- 

 tained after cooking, adding to its attrac- 

 tiveness when served. The plants are of 

 robust habit, unexcelled in bearing quali- 

 ties, maturing the crop very regularly. It 

 is extra early, the pods being fit to pick 

 four days in advance of any other varie- 

 ty of approximate size and merit. 



French Market Green Pod Bush. It 

 has become very popular amongst our 

 New Orleans gardeners, very fine for 

 general use. Pods long green', perfectly 

 round ?nd smooth; it is as early as the 

 Refugee, but of a grand quality, a good 

 keeper when picked. We recommend it 

 highly for shipping and profitable pJant- 

 ing. 



White Wax. A desirable snap bean, 

 Pods are broad, flat, yellow and semi- 

 transparent when boiled, and is of a deli- 

 cate flavor. 



Currie'3 Rust Proof Wax. 



Currle's Rust Proof Wax. This is an 

 early, productive, good bean, having long, 

 flat, yellow pods of fine quality. Foliage 

 healthy and rust proof.
