GOLDEN CLUSTER (See cut). The Everlasting Pole 
Bean. A magnificent variety that bears continuously the 
entire season. It grows rapidly, bearing very early clus- 
ters of three to six pods of rich golden color. Pods aver- 
age about 8 in. in length, exceedingly tender and entirely 
stringless, retaining their plumpness and tenderness long 
after they have attained a large size, and continue to 
bear, if the pods are picked, until frost. It is a very 
common thing to pick % to % of a bushel from a single 
vine at one picking, and its enormous yield recommends 
it to every one. Few, if any of the varieties of late in- 
troduction are so popular as the Golden Cluster, and cer- 
tainly none will give better satisfaction than this splen- 
did bean. Pkt. 10c, pt. 25c, qt. 45e, pk. $2.00.
