I,AZY WIVES POLE BEAX.- This variety originated in Bucks County, X 



Pennsylvania, where, fur a number of years, it baa been the most popular Pole * 

 Bean grown. Pods are wonderfully broad, thiek, fleshy, and, above all, entirely™ 

 Btriugless. Jn tic se respects they surpass any other I know of. Then, again, the M 

 pods retain their rich, stringless and lender qualities until they are almost ripe ; ** 

 so much so, in fact, that I am perfectly safe in saying they are the best of all Snap- | 

 Shorts. The*' also surpass every other variety in the way vines cling to the pole, > 

 and every bean-grower will at once acknowledge this is a most important qnalifi- 5 

 cation, its name, I think, implies [productiveness, for, the vines being covered S 

 all Summer with masses of beautiful pods, it is just the sort to suit lazy wives, as S 

 a mess can be soon picked for dinner. Pods are rather llaltish, oval shape, and, £, 

 when fully grown, are from 4 to inches long, exceedingly rich, buttery, and tine - 

 flavored when cooked. They are hardy, easily grown, and enormously produc- s 

 live. 1 could furnish hundreds of testimonials from persons who have grown and Z 

 used the Lazy Wives Bean, all claiming 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 who could n 

 not be induced to eat String Beans of any kind after taking Lazy Wives. Tlie g 

 last live seasons demand was so great as to entirely exhaust my Z 

 supply and last year I liad again, to dec-line many hundred orders. _

1! Hoge. Ilubbardston, Mich.: " We have had good luck with your seeds. I am 

 ghlv pleased witli XX Sweet ( 'urn. Nonpareil Green Pod Beans are splendid." 5 

 Mrs. 8. C. Turner, Melita, Mich.- " My seeds were all line. The Nonpareil Bean " 

 was grand. My Tomatoes were splendid; Dwarf Champion is the best of all; but = 

 Turner Hybrid bears larger fruit. Advance Is a good bearer, and ripens quickly." js 

 Louisa L. Rupert, St. Petersburg, Pa.: "Your seeds were all excellent, especially - 

 your Lazy Wives Bean ; T think they excel all others. Thanks for extra packets." » 

 J. S. Brooks, Arroyo Grande, Cal.: "I wish to say your seeds have given good " 

 satisfaction, even beyond my expectations. I heartily recommend your Butter Wax * 

 Bean ; Giant Peru anil White Spine Cucumbers. The bean for itsearliness; the White 9 

 Spine for Its productiveness ; and the Giant Pera for its table qualities." C 

 .Mrs. J. M. Hilton, Lyndon, Wash. Ter.: "I wish to express my thanks for the ; 

 generous manner in which you Tilled my order. I believe seedsmen are a very gener- "j 

 ous class of men, but none with whom I have dealt ever exceeded Mr. Maule in i 

 liberality and have never given better satisfaction." <j 

 Win. G. Bradford. Marion. I ml.: "I have always found your seeds exactly as ; 

 represented. At the Marion pair I took >u.50 in premiums on \ egelables raised from " 

 a fl.00 order of your seeds. You may expect an order each year from me. Many ( 

 thanks for the five extra packets of seeds." ! 



Mrs. M. G. Wilson. Meredlthville, N.H.: " I sent my order on the 22d of Api II, and ; 

 on the 27th received the seeds. I was very much pleased at so early a dispatch, and . 

 have to thank you for the large amount of seeds each packet contained, and for the » 

 extras. Your Mammoth Sweet Corn and Xew Cory I am especially thankful tor; 



who have eaten the Mammoth Corn have pronounced it the best corn they 

 ever tasted. The Cory was excellent, I think every grain germinated. I am more 

 than pleased with Turner Hybrid Tomato, and am now enjoying the luscious fruit, 

 which I appreciate highly, and can truly say it is a splendid variety. Sorehead Cab- 

 bage is grand, heads are crisp and tender. Maule's Improved Hubbard Squash line." 



EXTRA EARLY LIMA.— Also known as Early Jersey. This is 10 days to . 

 two weeks earlier than anv other pole Lima, and until the introduction of THE 

 NEW BUSH LIMA last year, was the earliest in cultivation. Notwithstand- g 

 ing itsearliness it still equals the ordinary large Lima in quality and productive- g 

 ness, while the beans are equally as large. Many in the North who have never 

 been able to raise Lima Beans'until they planted this variety have had great _ 

 success with Extra Early Lima. Pkt. IS cts.; pt. 40 cts.; qt. 75 cts. _ j^, 



f! c! l-'ola at, 

 La Porte. Ind.: 

 " I wish to say a 

 word in favor of 

 your Nonpareil 

 Green Pod Bean. 

 Give it a front 

 seat, it beats any 

 green pod grown. 

 The pods are from 

 six to seven and 

 three-quarter 

 Inches long ; have 

 picked plenty of 

 them 7 inches 

 long, and as 

 straight as an 

 arrow. No crook- 

 neck squash shape 

 among them, and 

 the bushes are 

 high enough for 

 the beans to clear 

 the ground."
