 good qualities and remarkable productiveness make it one of the best late 

 or main crop wax beans for house or market garden. Pint, 20 cents; quart,

 saddle-backed. They are always solid, brittle and entirely stringless. 

 The plants grow 15 inches high with abundance of large, heavy foliage, 

 under which will be found an enormous crop of magnificent straight, golden 

 yellow pods. Decidedly better than old Black Wax. Price, pt., 20c.; 

 qt., 40c.; pk., $2.75; bush., $10.00.

Climbing, or Pole Beans (stangen Bohnen) 



(1 quart to 150 hills; 10 to 12 quarts to the acre.) 

 Add 15 cents per quart on beans if to be sent by mail. 



Culture of Pole Beans. Choosfe light soil and make small hills three feet apart, having 



previously spaded deeply and fertilized. Plant long pole two feet deep in the center oi 



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 hills where less than three have sprouted. The lima bean 



is very delicate, and often from slight causes, fails to sprout. They should not be planted until the ground is warm. 



Lazy Wife. One of the best for snaps of the later green podded pole beans. The numerous 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, 10c. ; pint, 15c; quart. 

 30c; gallon, $1.00; bushel, $8.00. 



Liberal packets of any variety, postpaid, for 10 cents.
