WHITE CREASEBACK 



This very choice pole bean, 

 known through many sections 

 of the South as the Popular 

 Fat Horse Bean, should have 

 been catalogued long ago by 

 Northern Seedsmen. One dif- 

 ficulty, however, has been that 

 the seed has always been scarce. 

 T have had, however, a crop 

 grown for me last summer and this 

 year list it for the first time. For 

 string beans the Creaseback is especi- 

 ally desirable, being of a beautiful 

 light green color, stringless, about six 

 inches long, perfectly round, with a 

 crease in the back, and of most excel- 

 lent quality. They ripen early, and 

 pods are thick all summer from one 

 end of the pole to the other. Pkt., 15 

 cts.; pint, to cts.; quart, SO cts. 



NEW GOLDEN WAX 

 POLE. — I have given my cus- 

 tomers a very fine pole bean 

 above, but have still another 

 that, to say the least, is a per- 

 fect beauty. White Creaseback 

 is a green-podded bean. Gold- 

 en VVax has the finest, rich, 

 round, fleshy, stringless, beau- 

 tiful golden-yello \v pods, 

 seven to nine inches long, I 

 have ever seen. 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 W ax variety. It has 

 only one fault, and that is that 

 the vines do not take the pole 

 quite as readily as the Lazy 

 Wives or Creaseback, but then 

 it is earlier than either, and 

 when its other superior quali- 

 ties are taken Ino considera- 

 tion, not an order for IssT 

 should omit- (Joklen Wax Pole

THE FIVE BOSS LIMA BEANS. 



SALEM IMPROVED LIMA — This is a selected 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 notice in this catalogue. In 

 the first place I think you will find it the most productive and, therefore, 

 profitable Lima you have ever grown. Pods are produced in large clusters, 

 rive 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 Improved fully equals, if it does not surpass it. It certainly beat it 



in strong, regular growth on my trial 

 grounds last summer. Pkt., 15 cts.; pint, 50 

 cts.; quart, 80 cts. 



BEAN PREMIUM, NO. 3. $25. 



I will pay this amount October 1st to the 

 customer sending me the largest and hand- 

 somest pod of Salem Improved Limas be- 

 fore that date. Can any one find a pod with 

 nine beans in it? li so, they are very cer- 

 tain to secure the above 825.

 Beans and read this e;cta-

 I Notwithstanding its ex-

 equal to the ordinary Large 

 Lima in productiveness and 

 fine quality. It can, of 

 course, be planted much 

 further North than an- 

 other variety, so t hat now

 been unable to raise their 

 own Limas, can have that 

 pleasure. Pkt., 15 cts.; pint,
