Michigan White Wax Bean 



This splendid variety may be briefly described as a white seeded Golden Wax. It is one of the earliest 

 of the dwarf, snap beans. The vines are very vigorous and unusually productive. The pods are golden yellow, 

 fully as attractive as our well known Golden Wax and of the same exceptionally fine quality. The seed is 

 white, a most valuable feature heretofore unattained in a bush bean of highest quality. {See colored plate,

St. Louis Perfection 

 White Bean 



An early maturing, white 

 seeded pole bean, very desirable 

 for snaps and certainly unsur- 

 passed green shelled. Vine 

 vigorous and very productive. 

 Pods round, very long, irregular 

 in shape, medium green in color 

 and quite stringless. The beans 

 when shelled green are large, 

 very tender and white, a very 

 desirable feature when com- 

 parison is made with the colored 

 beans of other varieties of this 

 class. Many consider this by 

 far the most desirable pole bean 

 yet offered. {See ad and further

Tennessee Green Pod 

 Bean 



This early intermediate snap 

 bean is the longest podded of 

 the dwarf sorts. Although com- 

 paratively new to the seed trade, 

 it is very popular in some sec- 

 tions of the south and wherever 

 known is spoken of in terms of 

 highest praise. Vines large, 

 somewhat spreading and pro- 

 lific; foliage dark green, with 

 leaves large and crumpled. Pods 

 very long, flat, irregular in . 

 shape, bright but rather dark 

 green and of excellent qualit;/ . 

 After careful selection we have 

 developed a uniformly true 

 stock of the variety which is 

 giving splendid satisfaction.

Carpinteria Pole Lima 

 Bean 



A most excellent pole lima 

 bean for the home and market 

 garden. The beans are of largest 

 size and are not only much 

 thicker than the average pole lima but their color is distinctive in having a decided greenish tint, which is 

 recognized by experts as an indication of the very finest quality. When cooked the beans are very thin 

 skinned, extremely tender and of especially fine flavor. {See cut on this, page and further description, p(ig^ 20)

Mammoth White Cory Corn 



We consider this unquestionably the best extra early corn. The ears are very large for so early a variety. 

 The stalks are about four feet high, each usually bearing two finely shaped ears which become fit for use as 

 early as those of any variety in cultivation. They are twelve rowed, six to seven inches long, very symmetri- 

 cal and handsome, seldom with any opening between the rows at the base. Grain large, broad, verj'^ white 

 and of remarkably good quality for such an early sort. The size and beauty of this variety give it ready sale 

 even when the market is overstocked. {Further description, page 30) Pkt. 10c; Pt. I5c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qt». 75c; Bu. $5.00
