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



Davis Wax. Without doubt the best 

 white seeded Dwarf Wax Bean in cul- 

 tivation. The pods are clear waxy white, 

 long, straight and thick. It is very early, 

 productive and handsome in appearance. 



The plant Is of a sturdy robust habit, which 

 enables it to hold up the pods from coming 

 in contact with the soil. Good for ship- 

 ping.

 Large Lima.

Large I/ima. A well-known and ex- 

 cellent variety. It is the best shell bean 

 known. Should have rich ground, and 

 plenty of room to grow. 



Carolina or Sewee. A variety similar 

 to the Lima; the only difference is, the 

 seeds and pods are smaller. It is generally 

 cultivated, being more productive than the 

 Large Lima. 



Southern Willow-leaved Sewee or 

 Butter. This is a variety which is grown 

 by the market gardeners about New Or- 

 leans; the pods and beans are the same as 

 the Sewee or Carolina Bean; it is quite dis- 

 tinct in the leaves, being narrow like the 

 willow. It stands the heat better than any 

 other Butter Bean, and is very productive. 

 Originated here, and was introduced by 

 the late R. Frotscher. 



Dutch Case Knife. A very good pole 

 Bean; it is early; pods broad and long; 

 somewhat turned toward the end. 



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 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 con- 

 tinue to bear until frost sets in.
