POLE LIMA BEANS. 



LARGE LIMA. — An excellent variety. It is the best shell bean known. Should have 

 rich ground and plenty of room to grow. Packet, 10c; V6 lb., 30c; lb., 55c, postpaid; 

 5 lbs., $2.00, 15 lbs., $5.00, not prepaid. 



SPOTTED BUTTER. — This fine 

 Butter Bean is better adapted for 

 the wants of the Southern farm- 

 er than any other variety. It is 

 a certain and abundant cropper. 

 The vines are strong growers and 

 cling well to the poles or trellis. 

 Bear early and late. The beans 

 are speckled in color, white 

 splotched with red, but are of 

 the very highest quality, both in 

 the green and dry state. Two 

 dozen vines, well managed, will 

 produce enough beans for any 

 ordinary family. Crop failure. 



CAROLINA OR SEWEE. — The 



"Butter Bean" of the South. 

 These grow quickly, mature early, 

 are immensely productive, and 

 continue in bearing throughout 

 the season. The vines are slender 

 with rather small shiny dark- 

 green leaves. Packet, 10c; y 2 lb. 

 30c; lb., 55c, postpaid; 5 lbs., 

 $2.00; 15 lbs., $5.00, not prepaid. 



SIEBERT'S.— Is claimed to be 

 the earliest Pole Lima Bean in 

 cultivation. It is a large podded 

 variety of first class quality, and 

 is especially recommended for 

 Southern planting. Packet. 10c; 

 y 2 lb. 30c; lb. 55c, postpaid; 

 5 lbs., $2.00; 15 lbs., $5.00, not 

 prepaid. 





Large Lima. 



WINDSOR BEANS. 



ITALIAN OR ENGLISH. — Are popular among the Italians in the South being about 

 as hardy as Peas. The Italian Beans are used in the same way as we use Lima Beans. 

 They should be planted in drills two and a half feet apart, every six inches two beans, 

 during November. Packet, 10c; l / 2 lb., 25c; lb., 40c, postpaid; 5 lbs., $1.50; 15 lbs., $4.25, 

 not prepaid. 



FERTILIZING BEANS. 



OSCEOLA VELVET.— A hybrid introduc- 

 ed by the Florida Experiment Station. Is 

 larger than Georgia Velvets, thin hulls, 

 an excellent keeper and does not shatter 

 out so badly like the Yokahoma. It is 

 as early or earlier than the Hundred-Day, 

 produces as much vine, and foliage and is 

 the best yielder of seed of any of the 

 Velvet bean family. Being larger they 

 are more easily gathered and do not sting 

 the hands when handling. Wherever the 

 Osceola has been tried it has displaced all 

 other varieties and is growing in favor 

 every day. The supply of seed is still 

 limited and the demand growing; and we 

 would advise buying early as the price is 

 sure to be much higher later in the season. 

 Packet, 10c; y 2 lb. 25c; lb. 40c, postpaid; 

 peck, $1.60; bushel, $4.50, not prepaid. 



YOKAHOMA. — A leguminous plant car- 

 rying all the valuable qualities of the 

 Velvet Bean yet coming to full maturity 

 in slightly less than four months, enabling 

 it to be grown to maturity any place in 



the South where corn can be grown. As 



a soil enricher, as a producer of both for- 

 ! a^e and beans, it is invaluable. Not as 

 i rank in growth of vine as the Velvet. 

 i but fully as prolific in production of beans, 

 i making a superb feed for both cattle and 

 i hogs. Packet, 10c; y 2 lb., 25c; lb., 40c. 



postpaid; peck, $1.60; bushel, $4.50, not 



prepaid. 



CHINESE VELVET.— This Bean is rap- 

 I idly coming into great popularity where- 

 | ever it is grown, on account of its earlier 

 ! maturity than the regular Velvet Bean. 

 , It grows off vigorously from the start. 



and is better adapted for planting in more 



i northerly districts than other kinds. The 



of Velvet Beans, both as forage and 



grazing and soil-improving crops, is in- 



creasing everywhere, and the quicker 

 j growth of this variety wil make Velvet 



Beans more generally planted than hereto- 

 1 fore. Packet, 10c; y 2 lb., 20c; lb., 35c, 



postpaid; peck, $1.25; bushel, $4.00, not 



prepaid.
