RESELECTEO FOR EXHIBITION PURPOSES 



The followinjj assortmt-nt of vegetable seeds arc among the finest in 

 their respective classes and are winners everywhere at exhibitions, are 

 recommended not only for their superiority as show varieties, hut for all 

 the most desirable qualities of a good vegetable for the table. 



Sutton's Plentiful Bean (stringless 



A perfectly distinct Dwarf Bean, bearing an abundant crop of long broad 

 pods which have the advantage of being practically stringless. One of the 

 earliest varieties and we confidently recommend it for all gardens, especi- 

 ally where forcing is practised. The illustration shows the smooth and 

 attractive form of the pods. In original packages, pt. 60 cts., qt. $1. 



" Your Plentiful Dwarf Bean is a grand variety. It comes in early with plent\ 

 of good, straight, stringless pods." 



Veitch's Hybrid Bean 



By crossing the Scarlet Runner with a Dwarf French Bean, a distinct 

 and remarkable variety has been secured. It is a robust grower and very 

 prolific, having long erect racemes bearing three to five well-shaped, broad, 

 thick pods which partake somewhat of the character of the Scarlet Runner. 

 For a main-crop or late variety it is unsurpassed, and if the beans are 

 picked as they become ready, will continue to bear for a very long period. 

 The seed is quite distinct from all others, closely resembling a small Scar- 

 let Runner. The plant grows about 15 inches high, and should be sown very 

 thinly to allow for its full development. Pt. 40 cts., qt. 75 cts. 



Climbing French Beans 



Having again tested and proved the culinary value of these, we have 

 pleasure in offering them with every confidence. 



JULY. The earliest Bean in cultivation, an extraordinary and continu- 

 ous cropper, short and very fleshy pods. Pt. 40 cts., qt. 75 cts. 



ST. FIACRE. Tall and vigorous growth, bearing an abundant crop 

 of long, thick fleshy pods of splendid quality, specially adapted for obtain- 

 ing a successional crop to the July variety. Pt. 40 cts., qt. 75 cts. 



Undoubtedly these are very valuable additions, both being quite string- 

 Jess and needing but little preparation for the table. 



Longfellow Bean 



Remarkably early. Exceedingly prolific. Long green pods, always solid, tender, 

 and delicious flavor * 



This extra-early variety, although comparatively new, has been pretty 

 -widely distributetl, and we have yet to hear anything but praise about its 

 fine quality and other tnerits; it is in fact an ideal snap Bean, producing a 

 fine crop of round, straight, solid, fleshy pods averaging 6!^ inches long, 

 wonderfully tender and brittle, without a trace of tough interlining, and 

 having no string when broken, excepting when the pods are quite old. The 

 flavor is most delicious, captivating the most critical, while the delicate 

 green color of the pods is retained after cooking, adding to its attraction 

 when served. The plants are of robust, compact habit, unexcelled in bear- 

 ing qualities, maturing the crop very regularly. It is extra early, tiie pods 

 being fit to pick four days in advance of any other variety of approximate 

 size and merit. Pt. 25 els., (jt. 40 cts., ^<pk. $1.25. pk. $7/2^.
