Peiidersoii's I^ew Buslj Iiinia Bear?. 



Previous to the introduction of this valuable variety, 

 three years since, thousands were deterred from cultivating 

 the most delicious of vegetables — the Lima Bean— from the 

 great trouble and expense of procuring poles on which to 

 grow them. This is now a thing of the past, as the New Bush 

 Lima grows without the aid of stakes or poles, in compact 

 bush form, from fifteen to eighteen inches high, and pro- 

 duces enormous crops of delicious Lima Beans, which can 

 be as easily gathered as the common garden bush beans. 



It is at least two weeks earlier than any of the climbing 

 Limasand produces a continuous crop from the time it conies 

 into bearing until frost, and being enormously productive, 

 271 pods having been counted on a single plant. A very 

 small patch will keep a family supplied throughout the 

 season. The beans are of the size of tlie Sieva or Southern 

 Lima and, as before stated, of delicious quality. Pkt., lOc; 

 pint, 40c.; qt., 75c., post-paid. Peck, $3.75; bush., $14.00. 



NEW SNOWFLAKE FIELD. This valuable new 

 variety, introduced three years since, has given wonderful 

 results. It has proven very much earlier and more prolific 

 than either the common standard Pea Bean, or Prolific Tree 

 Bean, which it resembles somewhat in appearance. The 

 plant grows upright, holding its pods well up from the 

 ground. They are borne in thick clusters, and ripen all at 

 once, as many as eighty well-fllled pods appearing on a single 

 vine. The leaves fall off earlier than witli other varieties, 

 thus opening the pods to ttie sun. We believe it will event- 

 ually supplant all other varieties of White Pea Beans. Pkt., 

 lOc; pint, 25e.; qt., 45c.; peck, gl.25; bush., $4.50.

 yield. The beans are pearly white in color and do not rust or spot. 

 Burlingame Mediums are much sought after by dealers everywhere, 

 and always command top-notch market prices. Pkt., lOc; pint, 20c.; 

 qt.,3oc.; peek, $1.00; bush., $3.75. 



PROLIFIC TREE. A valuable variety for field culture, growing 

 about twenty inches in height, branching out in all directions, bearhig 

 its pods so high that they do not touch the ground. They have yielded 

 at the rate of nearly one hundred bushels to the acre. They resemble 

 the common Navy Bean, more rounded at the ends and very white, 

 cooking in less time. Pint, 20c.; qt., 35c.; peck, $1.00; bush., $3.75.

POLE, OR RUNNING BEANS. 



i8®"Bear in mind that our prices on beans by the pint and quart 

 include postage. Customers who order them sent by freight or express 

 can deduct 8c. per pint or 15c. per quart from these prices. 



LAZY WTFE'S POLE. This fine pole bean, introduced by us a 

 few years since, has become a great favorite. The pods grow from four 

 to six inches long, entirely stringless, and of a rich buttery flavor when 

 cooked. The pods remain green, and retain their tender, rich, string- 

 less flavor until nearly ripe. The beans are white, and are unsurpassed 

 as shell beans for winter use. They are pronounced by all who have 

 grown them the best green podded snap-short Pole Bean in cultivation. 

 We cannot commend this bean too highly. Pkt., lOc; pint, 35c.; qt., 

 60c., post-paid; qt.j 45c.; 4qts, $1.50; peck, $2.75, by express. 



CREASE-BACK, OR BEST OF ALL POLE. A well-known 

 and highly esteemed Southern variety. Very early and productive. 

 Forms very full, round pods, distinctly creased along back, hence its 

 name. Pint, 30c.; qt., 60c. 



NEW GOLDEN WAX FLAGEOLET. This magnificent New 

 Wax Pole Bean, from Germany, is also very early in ripening. It is 

 entirel.v stringless, the pods growing seven to eight inches long, 

 round, fleshy, and of the finest quality, being exceedingly tender and 

 .succulent. The vine begins to bear when quite young, continuing to 

 grow and bear most profu.sely the entire season. It is worthy of the 

 highest praise, and we hope every customer who orders beans will 

 include at least a packet of this new variety, as it is sure to please. 

 Pkt., lOc; pint, 35c.; qt., 60c., post-paid; qt., 45c.; 4 qts., $1.50; peck, 

 $2.50, hv express. 



EXTRA EARLY GREEN CLUSTER. This new bean is almost 

 as early as the Bush varieties. The beans are nearly as large as the 

 Lima, and when cooked possess the rich flavor of that variety to such 

 an extent that it is difficult to distinguish them from Limas. They are 

 frequently fit for the table before Lima Beans commence to blossom. 

 They are very productive and continue in bearing a long time. Do not 

 confound this variety with the Early Golden Cluster Wax Pole Bean, 

 which is used as a snap-short. Pkt., 10c. ; pint, 30c.; qt., 50c.
