Golden Cluster. 
Golden Cluster. 
(Seecut.) The Everlasting 
Pole Bean. A magnifi- 
cent variety that bears 
continuously the entire 
season. It grows rapid- 
ly, bearing very early 
clusters of three to six 
pods of rich golden 
color. Pods average 
about S in. In length, 
exceedingly tender and 
entirely stringless, 
retaining their plumpness 
and tenderness long after 
tkey have attained a large 
size, and continue to bear, 
if the pods are picked, until 
frast. It is a very com- 
mon thing to pick ^to% 
of a bushel from a 
single vine at one pick- 
ing, and its enormous yield recommends it to 
every one. Few, if any, of the varieties of late intro- 
duction are so popular as the Golden Cluster, and 
certainly none will give better .satisfaction than this 
,'endid bean. Pkt. lOc, pt. 30o, qt. 50c,

Black Wax. 
(See cut. ) A superb climb- 
ing bean with large yellow 
pods which are produced in 
great bunches for several 
weeks during the season. In 
many sections this is consid- 
ertMi the most desirable snap 
bean that can be grown.

May's Champion Lima. 
popular pole bean 
grown. Pods are wonder- 
fully broad, thick and alK>ve 
all entirely stringless. 
They surpass any other var- 
iety in the way vines cling 
to the poles, and every bean 
grower willatonce acknowl- 
edge 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 flue flavored when cook- 
ed. They are hardy, ea.^ily 
grown and most produc- 
tive. For an early and late oi , nr r. , 
snap sort, also as a dry shell Black Wax Pole . 
or winter bean it is un.^urpassed, and such is the peculiar taste ami 
pleasing flavor of this l>ean that we have known persons who wot.ji 
not cat other varieties of string beans after ta,sting Lazy Wixo.

Old rlOITie^tead ni* ICentlirkv Wonder a remarkaWe green pole bean that is regarded 
vytu iivlllCSLCdU, IVCllLU^IV^ TT UllUCl . by many people as the very be.st of all cbmbing 
varieties for Iwth private and market use. This last summer it was fit for the table by Aixgust 1st, which was at least 
ten days earlier than any other green sort. Itisenormously productive, the pods hanging in great clusters from top 
to Imttom of the pole. It is entirely stringless, and the pod-s are a silvery green color, resembling the popular Refugee 
Bush Bean. The jxkIs, though large, cook tender and melting, and we heartily recommend it to every one. Pkt. so,

DWARF OR BUSH LIMA. 
Two Varieties (Henderson's or Burpee's) ^u'rv"a'^^gnhrlstSo^o" 
vegetables, the Lima bean, from the great trouble and expen.se of procuring the unsightly poles on which to 
grow them. This is now a thing of the past, as the New 
Bush Lima grows without the aid of stakes or poles, 
in compact bush form, from IS to 18 in. high, and 
produces enormous crops of delicious Lima beans, 
which can be as easily gathered as the common 
garden bush bean. The New Bush Lima is at least 
two weeks earlier than any of the climbing Limas. 
This fact alone should stamp it as the most valued novelty 
of recent years, but when in atldition to this we realize 
that it is a true bush bean, requiring no supports, some ic'ea 
of its great value can be realized. This New Bush Lima 
produces a continuous crop from the time it comes into 
bearing (it is fit for the table in the latitude of Minnesota 
by the middle of Jxily) until frost, and being enormously 
productive a very small patch will keep a family supphed 
with this splendid vegetable throughout the .season. We 
can supply either Henderson's or Burpee's. The 
former we believe is the heaviest yielder, but the latter 
is by far the largest and b^-, flavored. Pk. lOo, pt.
