POLE BEAN8-Gontinued 



CDhite ^peose Qock 



This variety is especially valuable for its extreme ear] in ess and its habit of per- 

 fecting all of Its pods at the same time. Vines small to medium, but vigorous, and 

 in good soil wonderfully productive, bearing pods in clusters of from four to twelve 

 Pods medium length, silvery-green, of the best quality as snaps and stand shipping 

 better than most sorts. The beans are too small to be of much value when shelled 

 green, but are of very superior quality baked. When dry they are small, oval, very 

 white and hard. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bushel $8.00

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 \pry 

 productive, bearing its pods in large clasteib, blos- 

 soms white; pods green, very long, often reaching 

 nine or ten inches, nearly round when young, and 

 very crisp, becoming very irregular and spongy 

 as the beans ripen. Dry beans long, oval, 

 dun-colored. An early and very prolific sort, 

 with showy pods which are most excellent for 

 snaps. It is sometimes catalogued as being 

 the same as Sonthei-n Prolific, but this is au 

 error, as the latter is two "weeks 

 later and has shorter pods.

POLE 



Similar to Kentucky Wonder, except 

 that the dry beans are white, more slen- 

 der and curved, and the pods a 

 little more slender than those of 

 that variety. We think this 

 sort an improvement in earli- 

 ness, productiveness and quality 

 over the Kentucky Wonder, and 

 it has the advantage of a white 

 seed, and so does not discolor in 

 cooking. It is certainly a splen- 

 did variety, and is grown with 

 great success in the South, where 

 many think it the best pole bean 

 in cultivation.

 well, but twining more loosely than some, 

 and so may be used for a corn hill bean.
