BEANS-Dwarf, Bush or Snap-Continued 



Early Mohawk 



This sort is so much hardier than 

 the others that is can be planted 

 earlierand often will furnish beans 

 fit for use before any other kinds. 



Vines large, stout,with large, coarse leaves; blossoms large, purple; pods long, straight, coarse, with long, tapering points; 

 beans long, kidney-shaped, variegated with drab, purple and brown. This variety is much in favor for forcing under glass' 

 as it matures quickly and carries a good weight of long, large pods. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt.40c; 4 (^ts. $1.50; Bushel $7.50 '

 to One

Marblehead ... 

 Early liorticultural 



A strain developed from the old Horticul- 

 tural, in which the pods and beans are darker, 

 and which mature a little earlier. This is the 

 earliest green-shelled bean, and of the finest 

 quality. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 2oc; Qt. 40c;

Dwarf Horticultural 



Vines very productive, compact, 

 upright, with large leaves. Pods medium 

 length, cylindrical, curved, with splashes 

 -of bright red on a yellowish ground. The 

 ripe beans are large,oval, plump, and nearly 

 covered with splashes of bright red. This 

 is one of the best varieties for use shelled 

 green. When in this condition the beans 

 are very large, easily shelled, and are 

 about equal to the Lima in quahty, 

 although of quite different form. Pkt. 10c;

 and of the best quality. A wonderfully 

 prolific and valuable sort. Pkt. 10c; Pt.

 TTIlIlt; I'^avy western New York. Is 

 a sure cropper and not only more prolific 

 than the common white bean but also of 

 better quality. Vines large, spreading, with 

 small, thin leaves, and occasional runners; 

 very prolific, ripening its crop early and all 

 at once. Pods straight, short, small, but 

 containing six beans; beans small, oval,

Improved Qoddard... 



Vines large, much branched, erect, forming 

 a large bush; leaflets large, crimped, bright 

 green; flowers light purplish-pink. Pods large, 

 long, flat, usually curved with long, curved 

 pomts; green when young, but as the beans 

 become fit for use are splashed and striped with 

 cnmson. Green beans very large, splashed with 

 red and of fine quality. Dry beans marked like 

 Dwarf Horticultural and of the same color, but 

 longer and much larger, making them more 

 desu-able for market use. When fit to shell 

 green they are almost as large as the Large 

 Lima, and of nearly as good quality. Pkt. 10c; 

 Pt. 30c; Qt. 50c. 



Broad Wiltd^nr ^ English Dwarf or Broad)

Early Mohawk Beans. 



Dwarf Large 

 White Lima 



A bush form of the 

 true Large JJ,ma. 



The plants 



are uniformly 



dwarf, but 



enormously 



productive, 



single plants 



under 



favorable 



circumstances 



yielding from 



200 to 350 



pods . . . 



Large White 



Lima Beans. 

 The pods are as large as those of the Large 

 Lima and contain from three to five very large, fiat 

 beans of the best quality. While not quite as early as the Dwarf Sieva, this is 

 incomparably better in quality, fully equaling in this respect the Large White 

 Lima. Anv one who has tried this variety will wish to plant it again. Pkt. 10c; 

 Pt. 30c; Qt. 45c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bu. $8.50 



If Beans are loanted by mail or express, prepaid, add 10 cents per pint, 15 cents per quart for charges.
