BEANS— Pole or Running— Continued 



Kentucky Wonder 



This splendid variety, introduced by us 

 in 1885, has since been offered as Seek- 

 No-Further and was introduced in 1891 as 

 a novelty under the name of Old Homestead. Vine vigorous, climbing well 

 and very productive, bearing its pods in large clusters; pods green, very 

 long, often reaching nine or ten inches, nearly round and very crisp when 

 young, becoming very irregular and spongy as the beans ripen. Seed long, 

 oval, dun-colored. An early and very prohfic sort, with showy pods which 

 are most excellent for snaps. It is sometimes catalogued as being the same 

 as Southern Prolific but this is an error, as the latter is two weeks later and 

 has shorter pods. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; qt. 35c; 4 Qts. $1.25; Bushel $7.00 



Red Speckled Cut Short, or Corn Hill ut°'fnl£f ^eeJSi'SS 



southern states for planting among corn and it will give a good crop without 

 the use of poles. Vines medium sized, twining loosely, with dark colored, 

 smooth leaves; pods short, cylindrical and tender; seed nearly oblong, cut 

 off diagonally at the ends, white, covered at one end and slightly over the 

 whole surface with reddish-brown dots. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c;

BEANS-Pole Lima 



Seibert's 



Introduced by us in 1895. Practical value has been the 

 object aimed at in the development of this grand 

 variety. It is the outcome of the labors of a skillful 

 C^-,1., I la^wi^rk market gardener who selected for several years 

 LqI j Y Lilllfl the largest green beans from the thinnest and 

 *7 most easily opened pods. Th& vine is very produc- 



tive 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 

 enormous. The green shelled beans are of immense size and are tender 

 and succulent. They shrink in drying to about the size of the Large 

 White Lima. In earliness, ease of shelling, size, beauty and quality of 

 the green beans, this variety is far in advance of all other sorts. It is 

 recognized as the best of all the Limas for either the garden or market.

King of the 



Garden Lima 



Challenger Lima 



Vines very 

 vigorous 

 and pro- 

 duc- 

 tive . 

 Pods 

 of the largest size, filled ynth 

 four or five immense white 

 l: V m^ beans of the finest quality. 



V j^ On account of its large pods 



\^ Kentucky ff^ it is a favorite with market 



v., ^„ gardeners. It will come into 



bearing sooner and will make 

 larger pods if not more than two vines are left to grow on 

 apoie. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt.3oc; 4Qts.$1.25; Bu.$7.00 



The vines of this splendid 



sort are very stout, vigor- 

 ^__, ous and productive. The 



pods are much thicker than those of the other Linias and 

 contain from four to five beans v>'hich 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 vane- 

 ties with the New York market gardeners. 

 This is similar to, but a decided improve- 

 ment on what is known as Dreer's Im 

 proved Lima. Pkt. 10c: Pt. 25c;
