 IMPROVED 



Pole Lima Bean 



■t A SAFE RELIABLE CROPPER, LARGE ROUND 

 PLUMP BEANS OF PERFECT QUALITY 



The shelled Bean of Dreer's Pole Lima is almost round, quite distinct from the 

 flat-seeded sorts. To those who prefer this shape and who are in a position to 

 provide poles, we confidently recommend this old favorite. It has been grown for 

 many years, and before we introduced the Bush Limas, was one of the most 

 popular. It is medium early, and will be found admirable for private gardeners. 

 It is wonderfully prolific; the pods are borne in clusters, are about 5 inches long, 

 and are always compactly filled. One of the most valuable qualities of Dreer's Pole 

 Lima is that even when past its best stage, it remains tender and loses none of 

 its delicious flavor. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts., 

 $2.25 pk.

A FAVORITE FOR OVER HALF A CENTURY 



This standard sort is still immensely popular. It has been in "our gardens for 

 over half a century and is as reliable as ever today. It is a heavy cropper; the 

 Beans are large, plump, and of delicious flavor. This old favorite is still widely 

 grown for both family use and market. The large, flat, kidney-shaped Beans are 

 tender and delicious when cooked. May be used either in the green state or when 

 dried. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.10 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk.

GREEN-PODDED SNAP POLE BEAN 



A Marvel of productiveness from July until frost 



Large, thick, stringless pods, meaty, tender and delicious 



This best and most popular green-podded snap Pole Bean is a marvel of continued 

 productiveness and is ten days earlier than any other green-podded Pole Bean. First 

 pickings may be made in the latitude of New York early in July, and if gathered 

 as they become ready for "snaps," the vine will continue to produce in abundance 

 until frost. 



The pods hang in great clusters from the top to the bottom of the vine and can be 

 gathered by the handful; they are very large, 6 to 8 inches in length, entirely string- 

 less, plump, round and almost solid meat, cooking meltingly tender and of superb flavor. 

 It is also used as a Shelled Bean, excellent in that form. 



We have supplied Old Homestead Beans to customers in almost every State in 

 the Union, and those who report on them, invariably do so in most flattering terms. 

 (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt, 30c. pt., 50c. qt., $1.75 for 4 qts.
