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



Southern Prolific. No variety will continue longer to 

 bear than this. It stands the heat of summer better than 

 any other, and is planted to succeed the other kinds. It 

 is a very strong 1 grower; pods about seven inches long and 

 flat; seeds are dark yellow or rather light brown. The- 

 standard variety for the New Orleans market for late 

 spring and summer. If planted in July or August it will 

 continue to bear until frost sets in. 



Golden Cluster Wax Pole Bean. 



White Crease Back. A variety of Pole 

 Beans which has been cultivated in the South 

 for a long time, but had never come into the 

 trade until introduced by the late Richard 

 Frotscher. It is an excellent bean, earlier 

 than the "Southern Prolific." Seeds white; 

 pods round, with a crease in the back, from 

 which tn.e name. It is a good grower, bears 

 abundantly, and, if shipped, will keep better 

 than most other kinds. It sells better in the 

 spring than any other for shipping purposes, 

 and when in season cannot be surpassed. 



White Crease Back Pole Beaa. 



For early summer the Southern Prolific is 

 preferable, standing the heat better. 



Early Golden Cluster Wax Pole. This 

 is the earliest Wax Pole Bean in culti7ation; 

 pods from 5 to 8 inches long, produced in 

 clusters. The pods are golden yellow; for 

 shipping they are rather too wide. It has not 

 the same fine appearance as the Flageolet. For 

 family use it cannot be too highly recommend- 

 ed on account of its productiveness and de- 

 licious flavor.
