BEANS, Continued— POLE OR CLinBINQ VARIETIES. 
WHITE CBEASE BACK (POIJE;)— This is an old 
faTorite in the South, where it is sometimes known as 
"Pat Horse" or " Best of All, Pole." It is one of the very 
best, early, green podded pole varieties for the middle and 
Southern part of this country. The vines are wonder- 
fully productive- The pods, which are almost perfectly 
round, are entirely stringless, very fleshy and of superb 
quality. They olten 'measure six or seven inches in length. 
Large growers consider it one of the best market and ship, 
ping sorts that can be grown. Pkt. lOo, pt. 85o, q.t.46c,

OLD HOMESTEAD, OK KENTTJCKY WONDER. 
—A remarkable green pole bean that is regarded by many 
people as the very best of all climbing varieties for both 
private and market use. This last summer it was fit for 
the table by August 1st, which was at least ten days 
earlier than any other g'reen sort. It is enormously 
productive, the pods banging in great clusters from top to 
bottom of the pole. It is entirely stringless, and the pods 
are a silvery green color, resembling the popular Refugee 
Bush Bean. The pods, though large, cook tender and 
melting, and we heartily recommend it to every one. Pkt.

HCBTIOULTtTBAI., OK SPECKLED OBAN- 
BEKKT — One of the oldest, but most popular, early beans 
grown at the present time. The vines are vigorous in 
growth with large light colored leaves and puri>'ish blos- 
soms. The pods are broad, of a pale green shade, but us- 
ually streaked with a bright shade of brownish red. The 
beans arc of delicious flavor, and valuable either in the 
green or dry state. For home use many people prefer them 
to Limaa. Pkt. 10c, pt. 80c, <lt. 50c, postpaid; pk,

BLACK WAX, POLE— A superb climbing bean with 
large yellow pods which are produced in great bunches for 
several weeks during the season. In many sections this is 
considered the most desirable snap bean that can be grown.

SOAKLET RTTNNEK.— Every one should grow this 
splendid variety, not alone for the beautiiul showv scarlet 
blossoms which are borne in the greatest profusion the entire 
season, but for the superior quality of the beans, which are 
fine either as a shell or dried bean, and much richer in flavor 
than the Lima. It is a rapid growing vine, and exceedingly 
valuable for covering arbors, etc, Pkt. lOo, pt. 25c, qt. 45o. 
OUT SHOKT— This is commonly called the "Com Hill 
Beau" and is considered a most valuable sort for planting 
among corn, where it gives a large crop without the use of 
poles. The beans are oblong in shape, cut ofl' diagonally at 
the ends, of a white shade, and are usually covered with dark 
red spots. Pkt. 10c, pt. 25c, qt. 45c, postpaid. 
WHITE DUTCH CASE KNIFE— The vines are of a 
rapid growth but do not cling as tightlv as some sorts and 
are often used as a corn-hill bean. The flowers are white, pods 
quite long and beans of a broad kidney shape and pure white 
color. Pkt. lOc, pt. 30c, qt. 50c, postpaid; pk. 81,60. 
SOUTHERN PBOLIFIO— This is very similar to the 
Old Homestead or Kentucky Wonder, but usually ripens 
about two orthree weekslater than the above. It is a very 
productive bean and largely grown in the Southern States 
for snaps. The beans are rather small, oval in shape and 
of a dun color. The flowers are white and the pods are 
large, cylindrical, long, fleshy and crisp and are usually pro- 
duced in clusters. We offer a carefully selected stock of this 
■ort. Pkt. 10c, pt. 25c, Qt. 46c, postpaid; pk. 81-50. 
liAZY WIFE'S POI<E BEAN— The most popular pole 
bean grown. Pods are wonderfully broad, thick and above 
all entirely stringless. They surpass any other variety in the 
way vines cling to the poles, and every bean grower will at 
once acknowledge this a most important qualification. Pods 
are rather flattish, oval shape, and when fully grown are 
from four to six inches long, exceedingly rich, buttery and 
fine flavored when cooked. They are hardy, easily grown 
and most productive. For an early and late snap sort, also 
as a dry shell or winter bean it is unsurpassed, and such is 
the peculiar taste and pleasing flavor of this bean that we 
have known persons who would not eat other varieties of 
string beans after tasting Lazy Wife. Pkt. lOo, 3 pkts, 25c.

OOLDEN CLUSTER. 
The everlasting Pole Bean. A magnificent variety 
that hears continuously the entire season. It grows 
rapidly, bearing very early clusters of three to six pods 
of rich golden color. Pods average about 8 in. in length, 
exceedingly tender and entirely stringless, retaining 
their plumpness and tenderness long after they have at- 
tained a large size, and continue to bear, if the pods are 
picked, until frost. It is a very common thing to pick V4 
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 introduction are so popular as 
the Golden Cluster, and certainly none will give better satis- 
faction than this splendid bean. Pkt. lOo, pt. 25c, qt. 50c,
