 more slender and curved and the pods are a little more slender than

 tucky Wonder in that it has the advantage of a white seed and so does 

 not discolor in cooking. It is certainly a splendid variety and is grown 

 with great success in the south, where many think it the best pole bean 

 in cultivation. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qts. $1.25; Bu. $7.00

BEANS-Pole Lima 



QAil-kA«>f'c F'a'B'l-BT- I iwia Practical value has been the object 

 OeiEierL b tidriy l^lIllcX. aimed at in the development of this 

 grand variety first introduced by us in 1895. It is the ovitcome of the 

 labors of a skillful market gardener who selected for several years the 

 largest green beans from the thinnest and most easily opened pods. In 

 earliness, ease of shelling, size, beauty and quality of the green beans, 

 this variety is far in advance of all other sorts for either the garden or 

 market. The vine is very productive and continues so from 

 the very first to the last of the season, so that although the pods rarely 

 contain more 



Early Golden 

 Cluster Wax 



than four beans 

 the total yield is 

 enormous. The 

 green shelled beans 

 are of immense size, 

 very tender and 

 of finest quality. 

 The beans shrink 

 in drying so that 

 the seed is about 



the size of the Large White Lima.

King of the Garden Lima SS1,.olS.<;rpSs' 



very long, filled with four or five immense white 

 beans of the finest quality. On account of its large pods 

 it is a favorite with market gardeners. It will come into 

 bearing sooner and will make larger pods if not more 

 than two vines are left to grow on a pole

the extreme north and is being sup- 

 planted by Seibei't's Early Lima, 

 because the latter is earlier. Vine 

 tall growing, vigorous, but 

 slender;leaves medium sized, 

 smooth, light green, pods 

 borne in clusters, long, 

 broad, very thin, dark 

 green; seed large, ovoid,

The vines of this splendid 

 sort are very stout, vigorous 

 and productive. The pods are much thicker than those 

 of the other Limas and contain from four to five beans 

 which are large, thick, white and of the best quality. It 

 is early and continues to produce large clusters of pods 

 until cut off by frost. One of the most popular of the 

 later varieties with the New York market gardeners. 

 This is similar to, but a decided improvement on 

 what is known as Dreer's Improved Lima. Pkt. 10c;
