POLE OR RUNNING. 



Set the TDoles three or four feet apart, and plant 

 six to eight beans, with the eyes downward, around 

 each pole, thinning to four healthy plants when 

 they are up. They require the same soil and treat- 

 ment as the dwarf varieties, with the exception that 

 they crave stronger soil and do best in a sheltered 

 location. 



MARYLAND WHITE.— This new White Pole 

 Bean is destined to take its place as one of the best 

 Beans ever grown for general purposes. Its thick, 

 meaty green pods are very tender, rich in flavor, 

 and produced in great abundance. It is equally val- 

 uable as a snap or shell bean. It has been grown 

 in Maryland to a very limited extent for a few 

 years, and those who have grown it once want it 

 again. Pt. 15c. Q,t. 30c. Pk. $1.50. 



SPECKLED HORTICUIiTURAIi, or WREN'S 

 EGG.— Very productive; used with or without pods, 

 at. 25c. Pk. $1.15. Bu. $4.00. 



WHITE CHERRY.— Great favorite; used with 

 or without pods. 



Pt. 15c. Qt. 25c. Pic. $1.25. Bu. $4.00.

LAZY WIFE.— Large, pale green pods, very 

 thick meated, stringless, rich, tender and buttery; 

 ripens early; clings well to the pole; enormously 

 productive; splendid either as a snap or shell bean; 

 retains its exquisite flavor until nearly ripe. 



at. 25c. Pk. $1.50. Bu. $5.00. 



CREASE-BACK or FAT HORSE.— A well-known 

 and highly esteemed Southern variety. Very pro- 

 ductive. Forms very full, round pods, very fleshy, 

 entirely stringless and distinctly creased along the 

 back; hence its name. This variety is especially 

 valuable for its extreme earliness and its habit of 

 perfecting all of its pods at the same time. 



Q,t. 30c. Pk. $1.50. Bu. $5.00. 



DUTCH CASE KNIFE. Vines moderately vigor- 

 ous, climbing well, but not twining so tightly as 

 some, and so may be used for a corn hill bean. 

 Leaves large, crumpled; blossoms white; pods very 

 long, flat, irregular, green, but becoming cream 

 white; beans broad, kidney shaped, flat, clear white, 

 and of excellent quality, green or dry. 



Pt. 15c. at. 30c. Pk. $1.50. 



SOUTHERN PROLIFIC- A splendid, vigorous 

 and productive variety. Pods in clusters, succulent 

 and delicious; matures quite early and contin- 

 uously, bearing until frost. 



at. 20c. Pk. $1.00. Bu. 3.50. 



SPECKLED CUT-SHORT, or CORN-HILL.— An 



old variety, very popular for planting among corn, 

 and will give a good crop, without the use of poles; 

 vines medium, with dark-colored, smooth leaves; 

 pods short, cylindrical and tender. 



Pt. 15c. at. 35c. Pk. $1.25. Bu. $4.75. 



POLE LIMA. 



EXTRA EARLY JERSEY LIMA.— This variety is 

 two weeks earlier than other sorts; the pods are 

 large and numerous, making it a very profitable 

 sort to grow. at. 25c. Pk. $1.50. Bu. $5.00. 



DKEER'S IMPROVED, or CHALLENGER POLE 

 LIMA. This popular bean is considered by many 

 growers superior to all others in quality and pro- 

 ductiveness. When green it is as large as the Large 

 Lima, thicker, sweeter and more tender and nutri- 

 tious, remaining green in the pod for a long time 

 after maturing. 



at. 25e. Pk. $1.50. Bu. $5.00, 



EXTRA LARGE LIMA.- This is a splendid sort, 

 and takes a leading place with growers, because of 

 its many excellent qualities. As a shell bean sur- 

 passes all in quality, and is the favorite with most 

 people. The Beans are very large, tender, and of 

 delicious flavor. at. 25c. Pk. $1.35. Bu. $4.50. 



LARGE WHITE LIMA. One of the best of the 

 pole beans, either green or dry. 



at. 35c., postpaid. Pk. $1.15. Bu. $4.35. 



KING or THE GARDEN LIMA— This bean has met 

 with enormous sales the past few seasons. They 

 are vigorous growers, setting their beans early at 

 bottom of pole, producing continuously to the end 

 of the season. They are more prolific than the or- 

 dinary lima, bearing pods five to seven inches long 

 in clusters of four and five, with five to six beans 

 in a pod. 



Pt. 15c. at. 25c. Pk. $1.35. Bu. $4 50. 



BUSH LIMA BEANS 



The Bush Lima Beans are rapidly gaining friends 

 and have evidently come to stay. 



DREER'S BUSH LIMA— A dwarf variety of the 

 Dreer's Improved Lima which has been fixed in its 

 character of a bush bean; it is very prolific, single 

 plants often producing from 150 to 200 pods. Equal 

 in quality and tenderness to Dreer's Pole Lima, 

 1-2 Pt. 10c. Pt. 15c. at. 25c. Pk. $1.50. Bu. 



$5.00. 



HENDERSON'S DWARF LIMA.- These are val- 

 uable because they do not need poles, and being so 

 dwarf can be planted close together. They are very 

 early and prolific, continuing to bear until frost. 



at. 20c. Pk. $1.15. 



BURPEE'S BUSH LIMA. 



The grower says: The bushes grow eighteen to 

 twenty inches high, stout growth and always erect, 

 yet branching so vigorously that each plant devel- 

 ops into a magnificent circular bush, from two feet 

 to three feet in diameter. The bush character is 

 thoroughly established, not one plant in a thou- 

 sand showing any disposition "to run." It is an 

 immense yielder, each bush bearing from 50 to 200 

 of the handsome large pods, well filled with very 

 lars^e beans, which are identical in size and luscious 

 flavor to the well-known large pole Limas. By the 

 introduction of this most valuable novelty, the larg- 

 est and best Lima Beans can now be raised in 

 quantity at small cost, without the expense and 

 labor attached to the use of poles. 



1-2 pt. 10c. Pt. 15c. at. 25c. By mail, 15c.
