BUSH^BEANS 



White Sickle Pole Bean.— Similar to 

 Kentucky Wonder, except that the dry 

 ^eans are white, more slender and curved, 

 and the pods are a little more slender than 

 those of that variety. We think this sort 

 an improvement over theKentucky Wonder 

 in that it has the advantage of a white seed, 

 and so does not discolor in cooking. Ii is 

 certainly a splendid variety, and is grown 

 with great success in the South where many 

 think it the best pole bean in cultivation. 

 Price per pint, 30c.; per quart, 50c.; per 

 gallon. Si. 50. 



I/ady Peas. — These are small, round 

 and pure white, and are generally planted 

 between corn. A delicate vegetable. Price, 

 25c. per quart; 75c. per gallon. 



Black Eyed Field Peas.— A long 

 white pea with a large black eye, from 

 which it derives its name, and belongs 

 properly to the Cow Pea Family. Price, 

 25c. per quart: 75c. per gallon. 



White, Red and Speckled Sngar 

 Crowder or Forty Day Peas. These 

 are largely used in the Southern States for 

 early Peas. They grow upright. bush> and 

 under ordinary conditions do not need sup- 

 port. Very prolific and grow larger than 

 ordinary Cow or Field Peas; very compact 

 in pods; peas are flattened from being so 

 close in pods. These Peas are planted early 

 in the spring by market gardeners here and 

 sold in bunches as early Peas. Per quart, 

 20C.; 6oc. per gallon.

The Improved Creole Corn. That 

 corn which will produce well with little- 

 cultivation, which is not afi"ected by drought 

 or by excessive rains; which is not injured 

 by climbing wet vines at time of its maturity; 

 which resists the attacks of the birds in the 

 field, and the weevil in the barn, is a valu- 

 able corn indeed. Such a corn is the Im- 

 proved Creole. Long yellow ears filled t9 

 the end, large grains, tapering cob, close 

 fitting covering of long tough shuck; gen- 

 erally two or more ears growing high upon 

 a tall firm stalk. This corn will yield, itt 

 fit condition for storing, almost every ear 

 that buds in the spring, Loss of stock by 

 feediui- corn that is in the least degree wet 

 or tainted with rot at the time of puttings 

 away, is quite frequent. The Improved 

 Creole Corn is so well protected by its long- 

 firm shuck against the dampness arising 

 from the many climbing vines, always wet 

 with the frequent summer rains, that los» 

 from this cause is insignificant and danger 

 to stock life in its feeding practically noth- 

 ing. This corn may be planted at any time 

 from the la^er part of February to end of
