BEST THREE FIELD BEANS. 



Bl'RLIXGAME MEDIUM.— The ear- 

 liest, hardiest, most productive and most 

 profitable field bean in America; the fav- 

 orite of the leading growers for the N. V. 

 market in central New York. The yield 

 is 40 to 50 bushels per acre, under best con- 

 ditions. They ripen early, and in a wet 

 season will remain healthy while other 

 varieties rust and spot. The ripened seed 

 is pearly white and much handsomer 

 than the old sort, and consequently, com- 

 mands an extra price, and is always in 

 demand. Pkt., 10 cts. ; pL, 20 cts.; qt., 

 36 cts., postpaid. Pk., 81.00; bu.; 83.25. 



VISELESS MARROW — One or the 

 very best beans for field culture. Similar 

 to White Marrowfat, excepting that the 

 tendency to go to vine has been almost 

 entirely eradicated. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt. 25 cts.; 

 qt., 40c, postpaid. Pk., 81.00; bu., 83.50. 



PROLIFIC TREE. — This is a small 

 very white bean, resembling the old-fash- 

 ioned navy bean. It should be planted in 

 rows 2}^ feet apart, and 20 inches apart in 

 the rows, so as to give ample room for de- 

 velopment. Pkt., .0 cts.; pt., 20 cts.; qt., 

 35 cts., postpaid. Pk., 75 cts.; bu., 82-75, 



BURLINGAME MEDIUM. 



POLE BEANS. 



IMPROVED DUTCH RUXXER One of the most productive 



pole beans grown. Seeds white and of large size. A profitable mar- 

 ket bean. Very early. Pods are full and handsome, and in flavor 

 the bean is the peer of the Lima itself. One of the best of all the 

 beans for succotash (boiling with sweet corn). Cooked in this man- 

 ner in the green state, a most palatable dish mav be prepared. 

 Pkt.. 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; qt., 45 cts., postpaid. Pk., 82.00; bu., 87.50. 



GOLDE.V LAZY WIVES — Kich, yellow pods. ^See specialties.) 



LAZY WIVES. — The green pods (see engraving) are wonderfully broad, 

 thick, fleshy and above all stringless. They retain their rich, stringless and 

 tender qualities until they are ripe; so much so, in fact, that I am perfectly 

 safe in 6aying they are the best of all snap shorts. This is one of the best 

 climbers among the beans, surpassing every other variety in the way vines 

 cling to the poles. Its name, 1 think, describes its ability not only to take 

 care of itself after planting, but to produce great masses of edible pods all 

 summer, and even Lazy Wives can harvest a patch of these most prolific 

 beans, if the men will but give the beans a fair start in spring. The pods 

 are from 6 to 8 inches long, exceedingly rich, buttery and fine flavored. This 

 is a desirable bean in every respect, and is so endorsed bv thousands of my 

 customers every year. Pkt. ,10c.; pt.,25c; qt..45c.,postpaid."Pk. .81.75; bu..Stf.00. 



GOLDEX WAX POLE — Round, fleshy, stringless, beautiful vellow 

 pods, 7 to 9 inches long. Its rich flavor is equal to any in cultivation, while 

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

 almost as early as any dwarf wax variety. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt.,25 cts.; qt.,45 cts., 

 postpaid. Peck, 82.00. 



NEW GOLDEX CLUSTER Produces i 



beautiful yellow pods 6 to 8 inches long, in 

 clusters of four to six. Pods retain their 

 tenderness and plumpness long after the 

 beans have formed. Commencing to bear 

 ten days later than the earliest dwarf wax 

 beans, and yields until frost. Pkt., 10c; pt., 

 25c.; qt., 45c., postpaid. Peck, 82.00. 



IMPROVED KEXTUCKY WOXDER. 

 — Very early and enormously productive; 

 the long, green pods hanging in clusters 

 from the top to the bottom of the pole. 

 They are stringless and always cook ten- 

 der. Packet, 10 cts.; pint, 25 cts.; quart, 45 

 cts., postpaid. Peck, 82.00; bushel, £7.50. 



WHITE CREASED ACK A popular 



pole bean known in some sections as the 

 Fat Horse bean. It is especially desirable 

 as a snap short, the pods being of a beauti- 

 ful light green color, about six inches long, 

 stringless, perfectly round, with a crease 

 in the back, and of most excellent quality. 

 The bean is early. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 cts.; 

 qt., 45 cts., postpaid. Pk., t2.U0. 



FRENCH ASPARAGUS BEAN. 



FREXCH ASPARAGUS BEAN A 



Philadelphia gardener who has grown all 

 Eorts of beans tell me that this one is the 

 most delicious, productive and best, accord- 

 ing to his taste. The pods grow 2 to 4 feet 

 long. Green, tenderand palatable. This bean 

 is both ornamental and useful. Pkt,, 10 cts.
