BEANS 



Henderson Bush Lima. D°wa ft 



Sieva is the common synonym. The 

 most desirable of the small seed bush 

 lima type. Height of plant about 14 

 inches. Compact, bushy, reasonably 

 hardy and moderately productive. Pods 

 are about 3 inches long, containing 

 from 3 to 4 beans which are of good 

 quality. Ot., 30c; pk., $2.25; bu., $8.00. 



Fordhook Bush Lima. 7 T 5 "7i\ 



the most productive variety of any 

 bush lima and because of the long at- 

 tractive pods, which grow to a length 

 of 4% inches, containing 5 or more 

 large beans of excellent quality, they 

 have become the most important bush 

 lima for all truck growers. Ot., 40c; 

 pk., $3.00; bu., $11.00. 



Challenger or Dreer Improved 



pi 85 Days. This variety de- 



I Oie. velops larger pods than the 

 original Dreer Pole Lima from which 

 it came. It is very vigorous in its 

 habit of growth and extremely produc- 

 tive. The pods are 4 inches in length, 

 broad, straight, flat and usually six 

 seeded. This is perhaps the most pop- 

 ular pole lima bean at the present time. 

 Ot., 35c; pk., $2.50; bu., $9.00. 



Ford Mammoth Podded Pole. 



90 Days. Introduced by Johnson & Stokes in 

 1889. The pods are longer than any lima bean 

 grown in the eastern states, usually attaining a length of six inches and containing 5 or 6 

 flat beans of excellent quality. Ot., 35c; pk., $2.50; bu., $9.00. 



f"i»«f ^»H«incrl«acc 45 Da y s « Introduced by Johnson- & Stokes in 1898. Unquestion- 

 vslaill kJUTIOglcbd. ably the most satisfactory stringless bean of the green pod type 

 that has yet been introduced. It is very productive, developing round pods about six 

 inches in length, dark green in color, brittle and absolutely stringless. The importance 

 of this bean on the produce markets is increasing annually. More and more buyers are 

 insisting upon stringless varieties. Color of seed yellow-brown. Ot., 35c; pk., $2.50; 

 bu., $9.00.

 Color of seed gray-yellow. Ot., 30c; pk., $2.25; bu., $S.OO. 



Round-Pod Kidney Wax. 



O ^ Jj Valonfino 42 Days. This variety matures in quicker time than any bean 

 1XCU V dieniine. which we offer. Pods are slightly smaller than Black Valentine, 

 round, somewhat stringy, curled and of good quality if gathered when young. Ot., 25c; 

 pk., 81.85; bu., $7.00. 



Rlarlr Valpntmo 45 Days. A variety recommended only for long distance ship- 

 UlcKLK. " ttienillie. ments, not desirable for truck growers who sell their own pro- 

 duce, for it is not a stringless variety. The pod is long, oval and reasonably straight. 

 Ot., 35c; pk., $2.50; bu., $9.00. 



45 Days. Introduced by Johnson & Stokes in 1900. 

 We recommend this without hesitation as being the 

 best of the round podded wax sorts. The long, curved, round pods are brittle and string- 

 less. Their quality is excellent. Ot., 35c; pk., $2.50; bu., $9.00. 



Imrii>AVA(1 p n U on Wav 40 Days. This variety differs from the old Golden Wax 

 improvea ViOlueo VV.&X. j n that the pods are slightly stouter, flatter, straighter 

 and longer pointed. The dried seeds are marked with brown spots instead of purple. 

 The light yellow pods are stringless and of reasonably good quality. The picking season 

 is short. Ot., 30c; pk., $2.25; bu., $8.00. 



40 Days. One of the most popular wax beans, pro- 

 ducing pods 6 inches long, very straight, uniformly 6 

 seeded, bright yellow in color, decidedly stringy and of rather poor quality. It is also 

 sometimes susceptible to anthracnose in wet seasons. Regardless of certain weak points, 

 this bean is perhaps more largely planted commercially than any other wax variety. 

 Ot., 25e; pk., $1.85; bu., $7.00. 



Wavrlw^ll KiAnt^xr Wav 45 Days. A popular wax podded bean, the plant of 

 VY til U well rviUIiey VV ax. which makes a growth of about 14 inches. The pods
