KING OF THE GARDEN LIMA. 



Pods have been grown over nine 

 inches long, and specimens selected 

 with five pods on a single stem, each 

 pod containing five beans. Means are 

 yery much larger than the ordinary 

 Large Lima, and fell more readily on 

 this account. Quality is excellent, 

 and, as it is very productive, King ol 

 the Garden is sure to prove a most 

 profitable variety, especially for mar- 

 ket gardeners. 



The introducer says of King of the 

 Garden : " The vines grow luxuriant 1 v 

 and furnish a bountiful supply of 

 enormous pods, man v specimens nicas-j 

 uring from five to eight inches and 

 producing rive, six, and seven beans to 1 

 the pod, all perfectly formed, and pos- 

 sessing Superb qualities, unexcelled bj 

 any that liave come to my not ice during 

 a practical experience in bean cnllun 

 covering a period of twenty years.

LAZY WIVES POLE BEAN. 



This variety originated In Pucks 

 County, Pennsylvania, where, for a 

 number of years, it has been the most 

 popular pole bean grown. Pods are 

 wonderfully broad, thick, fleshy, and, 

 above all, entirely stringless. In these 

 respects, they surpass any other I 

 know of. Then, again, the pods retain 

 their rich, stringless, and tender quali- 

 ties until they are almost ripe; so 

 much so, in fact, thai I am perfectly 



safe in saying they are the Pest of all 

 Sua]) Shorts. They also surpass every 

 other variety, in the way vines cling to 

 the poles, and every bean-grower will 

 at once acknowledge this as a most 

 important qualification. Its name. I 

 think, implies productiveness, for, the 

 vines being covered all summer with 

 masses of beautiful pods, it is just the 

 sort to suit lazy wives, as a mess can 

 be soon picked for dinner. Pcansarc 



ratber flatfish, oval shape, the pods 

 when fully grown are from \ to tt 

 inches long, exceedingly rich, buttery 

 and line flavored When cooked. They 

 are hardy, easily grown, and enor- 

 mously productive. We could furnish 

 hundreds of testimonials from persons 

 wbo have grown and used the I.azy 

 Wivcs llean, alVclaiming it to be the 

 best bean they have ever tried, and 

 many have discarded all other kinds, 

 using this for an early and late snap- 

 short, and also as dry, shell or Winter 

 bean; and such is the peculiar taste 



and pleasant flavor of this bean that] 

 we have known many persons whol 

 COUld not be Induced' to eat String! 

 beans of any kind after tasting the 

 Lazy Wives. 



l.nvt season, demand was so gr« ;\\ 

 aw to exhaust my supply early in 

 February. This year, although I 

 have harvested a tremendous crop, 

 enough, I think, to meet all de- 

 mands, -lilt I would advise early 

 orders. Pkt., 15 ets. ; pint, 50 cts. ;
