 white, more slender and curved and the pods are a little more 

 slender than those of that variety. We think this sort an improve- 

 ment over the Kentucky 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 ^^ith great success in the south, 

 where many think it the best pole bean in cultivation. Pkt. 10c;

 '-'O.^y vviic for snaps. The pods, borne in large clusters, are 

 five to seven inches long, broad, thick, fleshy and entirely stringless. 

 When young they have a rich, buttery flavor which is retained 

 until they are nearly ripe. The dry beans are excellent for winter 

 use. Seed white. Pkt.lOc; Pt.35c; Qt.35c;4 Qts.$1.35; Bu.$7.00 



POLE LIMAS 



C^:U^»i-'<. P'svUr I ima Poetical value has been the object 

 OeiDert S ILariy l^una. aimed at in the development of this 

 grand variety first introduced by us in 1895. It is the outcome 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 qual- 

 ity 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 than four beans the 

 total yield is enor- 



mous. 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 ^Miite Lima.

 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 gar- 

 deners. This is similar to, but a decided improvement on 

 what is known as Dreer's Improved Lima. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c;
