J. STECKEER. SEED CO., ETC., ALMANAC AXD 



very strong grower; pods about seven inches 

 long and llat; seeds are dark yellow or rather 

 light brown. The standard variety for the 

 New Orleans market for late spring and sum- 

 mer. If planted in July or August it will 

 continue to bear until frost sets in. 



White Crease Back. A variety of Pole 

 Beans which have been cultivated in the South 

 for a long time, but had never come into the 

 trade until introduced by the late Richard 



White Crease Back Pole Bean. 



Frotscher. Jt is an excellent bean, earlier 

 than the "Southern Prolific." Seeds white; 

 pods round, with a crease in the back, from 

 which the name. It is a good grower, bears 

 abundantly, and, if shipped, will keep better 

 than most other kinds. It sells better in the 

 spring than any other for shipping purposes, 



and when in season cannot be surpassed. For 

 early summer the Southern Frolific is prefer- 

 able, standing the heat better. 



Early Golden Cluster Wax Pole. This 

 is the earliest Wax Pole Bean in cultivation; 

 pods from 5 to 8 inches long, produced in 

 clusters. The pods are golden yellow; for 

 shipping they are rather too wide. It has not 

 the same fine appearance as the Flageolet. 

 For family use it cannot be too highly recom- 

 mended on account of its productiveness and 

 delicious flavor* 



Cut Short. This is a pole bean, an old 

 variety, sometimes known as the "Cornhill" 

 from the fact that it is quite often planted 

 with corn and allowed to climb up the stalk. 

 The pods are round, short and tender. It is 

 quite a favorite in some sections of the 

 country. 



Siebert's Lima. This Lima Bean is sim- 

 ilar to the Extra Early Jersej' Lima, but it is 

 claimed to be the earliest pole lima bean in 

 cultivation. It is a large podded variety of 

 first class quality.
