Large Lima. An excellent variety. It is 

 the best shell bean known. Should have 

 rich ground, and plenty of room to grow. 



Carolina or Sewee. Similar to the Lima; 

 the only difference is the seeds and pods are 

 smaller. It is generally cultivated, being 

 more productive than the Large Lima. 



Southern Willow-ieaved Sewee or But- 

 ter. This is a variety which is grown by the

 White Crease Back Pole. Latest intro- 

 duced, which from tests made by the most

 satisfactory; same type as the old styl 

 Crease Back Pole Beans, except that this 

 bean is perfectly round and straight. 



Golden Cluster Wax Pole Bean. 



market gardeners about New Orleans; the 

 pods and beans are the same as the Sewee or 

 Carolina Bean; it is quite distinct in the 

 leaves, being narrow like the willow. It 

 stands the heat better than any other Butter 

 Bean and is very productive. Originated 

 here by the late Richard Frotscher. 



Dutch Case Knife. A very good pole 

 Bean; it is early; pods broad and long; some- 

 what turned toward the end. 



Improved Kentucky Wonder, or Old 

 Homestead. This is the earliest of all green 

 podded pole beans. Enormously productive, 

 bearing its pods in clusters. The pods are 

 long, crisp, tender and bright green in color. 

 A prolific variety, one of the best on our list. 



Southern Prolific. No variety will con- 

 tinue longer to bear than this. It stands the 

 heat of summer better than any other, and is 

 planted to succeed the other kinds. It is a 



Pratt's Animal Regulator, 25c, and 50c.
