London Horticultural, or J 



This neTv pole bean is strikingly handsome, es- 

 pecially as the golden j- ellow pods mature and 



take on brilliant splashes of bright carmine red. 



Rem,arkably good in other points also, being early, 

 very productive and of excellent quality. As a wax-podded snap it is tender, 

 brittle, stringless and fine flavored. Later in maturity, in common with other 

 Horticultural beans, it is unsurpassed when shelled either green or di-y. Vine 

 similar to Blammoth Podded Horticultural, leaf a little larger and foliage a 

 bright yellowish-green. The very large pods are six to eight inches long, 

 straight and very broad. A bean of such marked excellence and withal so 

 attractive in shape and color, will certainly come rapidly into general favor.

Similar in general character to the London 



Horticultural, but larger in every way. The 



mammoth pods are striped and splashed 



with exceedingly brilliant crimson. The 



immense size and of the finest quality and 



as the pods. This variety 



has been sold under 



many names, such as 



Worcester, H a m p d e n 



and Mugwump Pole, but 



a great deal of the stock 



offered has been im.pure, 



many plants being like 



London Horticultural. 



We haA'e developed a 



stock which is pure and 



sure to please all who 



plant it.

the dry beans are 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 with great success in the south, where 

 many think it the best pole bean in cultivation.

Southern Prolific 



A very prolific sort and pop- 

 ular in the south for snaps. 

 Vines vigorous, with large, thin, smooth leaves; 

 the green pods, which are produced in clusters, are 

 long, cylindrical or thicker than broad, fleshy and 

 crisp; seed small, oval, dun-colored, being some- 

 what variable in shade. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c;
