Clinnbing or Pole Beans 



STANGEN-BOHNEN. 



(One quart to 1 50 hills ; i o to 1 2 quarts to the acre. ) Add 1 5c. per quart on beans if to be sent by mail. 



CULTURE OF POLE BEANS.— Choose light soil and malce small hills 3 feet apart, having previously spaded deeply 

 and fertilized. Plant long pole 2 feet deep in the center of the hills. Allow six beans to each hill, covering them barely 

 beneath the surface, their eyes downward. Do not allow more than three to climb a pole, but remove extra plants to 



The Lii 



Bean is very delicate and often, from slight ' 



fails 



sprout. 



LAZY WIFE. — One of the best for snaps of the later green podded pole beans. The numer- 

 ous pods, borne in large clusters, are 5 to 7 inches long, broad, thick, fleshy and entirely stringless. 

 When young they have a rich, buttery flavor which is retained until they are nearly ripe. 

 The dry beans are excellent for winter use. Seed white. Packet, loc; pt., 15c; qt., 25c; gal., 

 75c: bushel, $5.00. 



CHERRY POLE OR HORTICULTURAL POLE BEAN (CUT SHORT).— Vines moder- 

 ately vigorous, with large, light-colored leaves; pods short, pale green, but becomingly streaked 

 with bright red; beans large, ovate, splashed and spotted with wine red and of the highest quality 

 either green or dry. Many people like them better than the Limas. Packet, loc; pt., 15c; qt., 

 25c; gal., 75c; bushel, $5.00. 



GOLDEN CARMINE HORTICULTURAL.— This new pole bean is strikingly handsome, es- 

 pecially as the golden-yellow pods mature and take on brilliant splashes of bright carmine red. 

 Remarkably good in other points also, being early, very productive and of excellent quality. As 

 a wax-podded snap it is tender, brittle, stringless and line flavored. It is unsurpassed when shelled, 

 either green or dry. Vine similar to Mammoth Podded Horticultural, leaf a little larger and foliage 

 a bright yellowish green. The very large pods are 6 to 8 inches long, straight and very broad. A 

 bean of such marked excellence, and withal so attractive in shape and color, will certainly come rapidly 

 into general favor. Pt., 15c.; qt., 30c; gal., $1.00; pk.. $2.00. 



OLD HOMESTEAD (IMPROVED KENTUCKY WONDER).— This variety is one of 

 the most desirable and earliest of all the green-podded running varieties. It is enormously pro- 

 ductive, the pods hanging in great clusters from top to bottom of pole; are of a silvery-green color 

 and entirely stringless; they cook deliciously tender and melting; are strongly recommended, es- 

 pecially for the south, in preference to the Southern Prolific, which has been the old favorite of that 

 section for many years, j pt., 8c; pt., 15c; qt., 25c; peck, $1.50; bushel, $6.00. 



Pole Lima Beans 



BOLGIANO'S NEW GIANT PODDED EMERALD ISLE POLE LIMA.— Emerald Isle Pole 

 Limas are the largest podded, largest seeded, heaviest cropper of all Limas. They are earlier, more 

 prolific, and much larger podded than the King of the Garden. The mammoth pods measure 7 to 

 8 J inches in length and I5 to 2 inches in width, and are borne in great clusters, which stand out from 

 the foliage. The vines branch or stool out from the main stalk close to the ground, each vine pro- 

 ducing ID to 15 lateral branches. Emerald Isle Pole Lima Beans continue to bear most abundantly 

 until killed by frost. This is the most perfect Pole Lima Bean ever introduced. It grows green, it 

 dries green, it stays green. Pt., 15c; qt., 30c; 4 qts., $1.00; pk., $1.90; bu., $7.50.

 well filled. Beans large and handsome. Gives entire satisfaction wherever grown. Pt., 15c; qt., 

 25c; gal., 80c; peck, $1,25; bushel, $5-50. 



KING OF GARDEN LIMA BEANS. — By far the best pole lima bean ever introduced. The 

 vines are very vigorous and productive; pods of the largest size, often containing five to six im- 

 mense green beans of finest quality. On account of its large pods it is a favorite with market gar- 

 deners. Pt., 15c; qt., 25c; gal., 8oc; peck, $1.50; bushel, $5.50. 



FORD'S MAMMOTH LIMA BEANS.— Large, mammoth-sized pods, containing from five

DREER'S IMPROVED POLE LIMA.— The distinctive features of this are early maturity, 

 large yield and extra quality. The bean itself is thick and round, rather than oval shaped, as most 

 Limas are. Half pint, loc; pt., 15c; qt., 25c; gal., 8oc; peck, $1,50; bushel, $5.50. 

 t CURRIE'S RUST=PROOF WAX BEAN.— It is absolutely rust=proof. Pods grow long, flat,
