This new bean, named and introduced by us three 

 years since, has created a decided sensation among beun 

 growers. Notliins we have ever introduced lias brought 

 us so many unsolicited letters of the strongest praise 

 from all parts of the United States. Hiuidreds pronounce 

 it emphatically the most vabialAe pole varieUj ever offered. 

 It originated at Andalusia, Bucks County, Pa., with a 

 celilii.itcd l>eaM grower. Our illustration, made from 

 Nature, gives some idea of their wonderful produeliveness, 

 it being nothing unusual to pick one-half bushel to three 

 pecks li oni a single vine at one picking. The pods are 

 five to si.K inches long, l:)road, thick, very fleshy and 

 entirely stringless, far surpassing all other varieties in this 

 respect, and retaining these important qualities until 

 almost ripe. The pods when fully gr(jwn are from five 

 to six inches long, exceedingly rich, buttery and fine 

 flavored when cooked. The vines cling well to the 

 poles, a very important feature, as on account of their 

 enormous productiveness, the weight of a vine filled 

 with such a mass of large pods is very great. They 

 commence bearing their magnificent pods in great 

 abundance when the vines are quite young, and 

 continue to bear profusely tlie entire season. The beans 

 when dry are round as a bullet, pure white in color, 

 and also make a fine shell or winter bean. In great 

 proditelirtitt ss,liue quality and everbearing character they 

 stajid uiiciiualtid \iy nny other pole bean in the world.

EARLY GOLDEN CLUSTER POLE BEAN. 



This new variety leads all other pole varieties in 

 earliness. It is distinct in seed, color and habit of growth. 

 The pods retain their tenderness and plumpness long- 

 after the beans have attained a large size, so that only a 

 few days elapse after they cease to be fit for string beans 

 before they are fit to shell. The pods are a beautiful 

 waxy yellow, and are from sixtoeightineheslong, borne 

 profusely in clusters of four tosix. Commencing to bear 

 ten days after the Dwarf Golden Wax, it cantinues to 

 produce an abundance of pods until frost sets in. Pkt.,
