White Crease Back Pole Bean. 



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 Frotscher. It 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 pur- 

 poses, and when in season cnnnot be sur- 

 passed. For early summer the Southern Pro- 

 lific is preferable, standing the heat better. 



Early Golden Cluster Wax Pole. This 

 is the earliest Wax Pole Bean in cultivation; 

 pods from 3 to 8 inches long, produced in clus- 

 ters. The pods are golden yellow; for ship- 

 ping 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.

 lar to the Extra Earlj^ Jersey Lima, but it is 

 claimed to be the earliest pole lima bean in 

 cultivation. It is a large podded variety of 

 first class quality.
