J. STICKLER SEED CO., LTD., ALMANAC AND 



whole country can be traced back to this 

 half bushel. He supplied two growers in 

 Georgia where it was not known atthat time. 

 There is a light brown bean streaked and 

 mottled with dark brown and black of the 

 same name; but it is not equal to the white 

 variety. In some localities this kind is called 

 •'Calico Crease Back." The white seeded 

 variety is also known in some sections by 

 the name of "Fat Horse." This is the 

 original stock ; the quality is so fine that no 

 improvement can be made on it. 

 r^ Early Golden Cluster Wax Pole. 

 This is the earliest Wax Pole Bean in culti- 



vation; pods from 5 to 8 inches long, pro- 

 duced in clusters. The pods are golden yel- 

 low; for shipping they are rather too wide- 

 It has not the same fine appearance of the 

 Flageolet. For family use it cannot be toa 

 highly recommended on account of its pro- 

 ductiveness and delicious flavor. 



I/asy Wife's. A Pole Bean from Penn- 

 sylvania. The pods are entirely stringless, 

 4 to 5 inches long, and have a fine flavor 

 when cooked. They retain their rich flavor 

 until nearly ripe. The beans are white and 

 fine as a shell bean.
