the two varieties, we have decid- 

 ed to adopt the above name, which 

 will be a guarantee that our cus- 

 tomers will secure the genuine ar- 

 ticle. 



Stickler's New Calico Bush 

 Butter. Raising this specialty is 

 strongly recommended, as it gives 

 universal satisfaction; it being a 

 very early variety, making strong, 

 vigorous vines, branching out with 

 many shoots or stems and bearing 

 clusters of beans from bottom to 

 top. When in full bearing it is 

 easy for one picking the beans to 

 gather a handful of nice beans at 

 a single grasp. The flavor of this 

 bean is excellent; it is used either 

 as a green bean or dry shelling. 

 When gathered green it is a beauti- 

 ful waxy white color and at matur- 

 ity it has a mingled color of white, 

 brown and red, making it a dis- 



m 



Extra Early Refugee. 



tinctive calico variety. It is 

 especially rocommended for 

 summer crop, to supply the 

 table in hot weather; it will 

 stand the heat of any climate 

 and bear profusely all sum- 

 mer, as it is very prolific. 



Wood's New Prolific 

 Bush Lima Bean. This is 

 the small-podded very early' 

 Sieva or Butter Bean of the, 

 South, growing in compact! 

 bush form. It is especially 

 suited for sandy soils and 

 warm locations. The pods, 

 are ready for use a week or 

 ten days earlier than those of 

 Burpee's Bush Lima and the 

 plants are immensely produc-! 

 tive. 



Giant Stringless Green 

 Pod Dwarf. With all the 

 merits of its name-sake it 

 has in addition larger pods 

 and is more productive. Pods 

 of this variety are one-third 

 larger than Valentine, and it 

 is claimed that it is earlier; 

 not so early as the original 

 Stringless, Green Pod, but it 

 is desirable to plant with that 

 variety for a succession. It 

 retains all the characteristics 

 and good qualities of its pa- 

 rent, but with a. very much 

 larger and more showy pod. 

 In quality, no variety sur- 

 passes it; gardenersand truck- 

 ers should give it a thorough 

 trial. 



Pride of Newton.
