WARDWELL'S KIDNEY WAX. — This most prolific and hardy dwarf wax 

 Bean is unquestionably one of the earliest of all wax Beans. It is only surpassed 

 in this respect by Maule's Butter Wax. In comparison with the Golden Wax, the 

 pods are often ready to pull ten days earlier. Vines are of medium size and hardy, 

 while the pods are long, flat and of a delicate waxy yellow. Very brittle and entirely 

 strinerless. Packet, 10 cents ; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents. 



BURPEE'S PERFECTION OR FLAGEOLET WAX I find these two beans 



identical. Pods are of a bright golden color, larger than Golden Wax, very striking 

 and showy. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents. 



POLE 



WHITE CREASEBACK, — This Is that choice pole Bean known, through many 

 sections of the South as the popular Fat Horse Bean. For string beans, the Crease- 

 back is especially desirable, being of a beautiful light green color, stringless, about 6 

 inches long, perfectly round, with a crease in the back, and of most excellent quality. 

 They ripen very early; in fact, it is the earliest of any green pole bean I know, and 

 pods are thick from one end of the pole to the other. Creasebacfc for early, Lazy 

 Wives for late, make an excellent combination. Pkt., 10 cts.j pint, 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts. 



NEW GOLDEN WAX POLE.— Golden Wax has fine, rich, round, fleshy, 

 stringless, beautiful golden yellow pods, 7 to 9 inches long. In flavor it equals any in 

 cultivation, while the vines begin bearing as early as any other pole bean grown, and 

 almost as early as any dwarf wax variety. It has only one fault, and that is the vines 

 do not take the pole as readily as the Lazy Wives or Creaseback, but then it is earlier 

 than either, and when its other superior qualities are taken into consideration, not 

 an order for 1895 should omit it. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 50 cents. 



MAULE'S IMPROVED DUTCH RUNNER — Without a doubt far the most( 

 productive pole Bean in cultivation. The illustration gives but a faint idea of its im- 

 mense yield. I have never seen anything that could begin to equal them, and all 1 

 planting Dutch Runner this season I am sure will agree 

 with me. They are also wonderfully early. Pods are I 

 very large and handsome, almost equal to the large! 

 Lima. In flavor they are superior, and cooked green I 

 in Summer, you will find they equal any succotash youl 

 ever made. They continue in bearing from July right| 

 up to frost. Pkt., 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; qt., 50 cents. 



NEW GOLDEN CLUSTER.— This variety is an 

 improvement on all the good qualities of the Giant and 

 Dwarf Wax, and Is distinct in color, in seed and habitof | 

 growth. The pods retain their tenderness and plump- 

 ness long after the Beans have attained a large size, so 

 that only a few days elapse alter they cease to be fit for 

 string Beans before they are fit to shell. The pods are 

 a beautiful golden yellow, and are from 6 to 8 inches 

 long, borne profusely In clusters of four to six. Com- 

 mencing to bear ten days after the Golden Wax, it con- 

 tinues to produce an abundance of pods until frost sets 

 in. Packet, 10 cents; pint., 30 cents; quart, 50 cents. 



IMA RPAMC SALEM IMPROVED 

 1IT1 - rA OLrlHOi LIMA.— This is a select- 

 ed strain of the large Lima, but it is so far superior to 

 the Lima Beans that I know most of my customers see 

 and grow, that I must give it a prominent place in my 

 catalogue. In the first place, 1 think you will find it 

 the most productive, and therefore the best table Lima 

 you have ever grown. Pods are produced in large clus- 

 ters, five to six large Beans often in a pod, and ripens 

 only a very short time after the Extra Early Lima. The 

 vines continue in bearing right up to frost. The King 

 of the Garden is a first-class Lima In every way, but I 

 think the Salem fully equals, if it does not surpass it. It 

 certainly beats it in strong, regular 

 growth on my trial grounds. Pkt., 

 10 cts.; pint, 35 cts; quart, 60 cts. 



DREER'S IMPROVED 

 LIMA. — Very productive and pods 

 are always full of extra plump 

 Beans of the most delicious and 

 superior quality. When green 

 they are nearly as large as the 

 large Lima, thicker, sweeter and 

 more tender, remaining green in 

 the pod for a long time after ma- 

 turing. Pkt., 10c; pt., 30c; qt., 50c. 



DREER'S BUSH L I M A. — 

 This bean is exactly the same va- 

 riety as Dreer's mentioned above, 

 except that, instead of being a pole 

 bean, it is a bush form of this va- 

 riety. Pkt., 10 cts; 3 pkts., 25 cts. 



FRENCH ASPARAGUS. — A 



Phila. gardener says: "I have 

 grown all varieties of beans, and I 

 consider the Asparagus Bean the 

 most delicious production and 

 best I have ever had." Pods grow 

 from 2 to 4 feet long and are pro- 

 duced in great abundance. In col- 

 or they are a beautiful green, ten- 

 der and delicious, so they will not 

 only prove a great curiosity 

 wherever grown, but also a desir- 

 able variety as well. E. M. Pace, 

 Virgil City, Mo., raised the prize 

 Asparagus Bean in 1889. It was 

 30% in. long. Packet, 15 cents.
