Early Golden Cluster Wax Pole. This 

 i? the earliest Wax Pole Bean in culti- 

 vate" on; pods from 5 to 8 inches long, 

 produced in clusters. The pods are gold- 

 en yellow; for shipping they are rather 

 too wide. It has not the same fine ap- 

 pearance as the Flageolet, i^'or family 

 use it cannot be too highly recommend- 

 ed on account of its productiveness and 

 delicious flavor. 



Adams' Everbearing Cluster Butter. 

 One of the best flavored, earliest and 

 most productive climbing Butter Beans, 

 containing numerous clusters of pods 

 borne close to the stems, each stem hold- 

 ing four to eight pods. Pods measure 

 txiree to four inches long, with an aver- 

 age of three to four well formed small 

 beans ''n each. Blooms and bears more 

 abundantly than any small climbing but- 

 ter iean we have known. Withstands 



We recom- 



both heat and light frosts, 

 mend same highly. 



Carolina or Sewee. Similar to the 

 Lima; the only difference is the seeds 

 and pods are smaller. It is generally 

 cultivated. 



Southern Willow-leaved Sewee or But- 

 ter. This is a variety which is grown by 

 the market gardeners about New Or- 

 leans; the pods and beans are the same 

 as the Sewee or Carolina Bean; it is 

 quite distinct in the leaves being narrow 

 like the willow. It stands the heat better 

 than any other Butter Bean and is very 

 productive. Originated here by Richard 

 Frotscher. 



Seibert's Lima. Is claimed to be the 

 earliest pole lima bean in cultivation. 

 It is a large podded variety of first class 

 quality. 



Steckler's Seeds are true to name and of Best Quality.
