THE TWO BEST POLE BEANS. 
In these two varieties we have the greatest 
perfection attained in Pole Beans : the “Dreer’s 
Early Cluster” being by far the most valuable 
variety known as a “Wax Pole Bean,” and the 
“Brockton Pole” far excelling all other vari- 
eties of the “Striped Pod” class. All should 
try them this season ; stock limited. 
Dreer’s Early Golden Cluster Wax 
Pole Bean. 
We were induced, by the strong personal 
recommendation of the introducer of thisjnew 
Wax Pole Beau, to offer it to our customers 
for 1887. We have planted it quite extensively 
and And it truly the best wax Pole Bean we 
have ever seen, it may be a trifle late in lo- 
calities far north, but in this latitude is amply 
early to insure a good crop. TheJ introducer 
puts the following points as especially prom- 
inent: Earliness, surpassing all other pole 
beans of its class, being ouly ten days ’later 
than Dwarf Golden AA'ax. Productiveness, 
the pods being from six to eight inches long, 
of large size, and are borne profusely in large 
clusters of three to six pods ; the vines, are 
vigorous and healthy, dull green in color, "and 
Attractiveness, the pods being of a beautiful 
golden yellow, which they retain a long time after being 
picked. The pods arc tender and plump, and in flavor are all 
that can be desired. Price, per packet, 15 ets.; per 1-2 pint, 
30 cts. ; per pint, 50 ets. ; per quart, #1.03. 
Brockton Pole Bean. 
This valuable bean we first introduced to the trade in the fall 
ot 18S4, and the following sprang, through the medium of our 
annual catalogue, we distributed it quite extensively among our 
retail customers ; nothing but good reports have been received 
from it during that period. We know of no pole bean which 
we would so unhesitatingly recommend for general culture in 
all localities as this sort. Its extreme productiveness and beau- 
tiful appearance commend it to all marketmen and produce 
dealers, and a single trial will fully demonstrate its excellent 
quality to the consumer. 
As a Pole Bean for shelling purposes it is far ahead of any 
other sort we have ever grown. It originated in Brockton, 
Mass., with a veteran gardener of long experience, and is pro- 
nounced bv him as the most profitable variety for his use. We 
procured our original stock from him. Its points are vigor 
of growth, great productiveness, handsome appearance of po^s, 
and excellent quality. Although its merits are confined more 
strictly to a shell bean, it will be found to be well adapted to 
cooking when dry. All should try it. We can supply the trade 
at the following price, stock of first quality, and clean sample: 
Price per pkt., 10 cts. ; per 1-2 pint, 15 cts.; per pint, 25 cts.; 
per quart, 40 cts. ; per 1-4 bush., $2. 
Nashua, N. H., Jan. 26. 
Dear Sir : — The Brockton Pole Bean is the handsomest pole 
bean I have ever grown. It is a splendid shell bean ; the foliage 
is strong, thrifty and handsome; great bearer, and my neighbor 
said that before the pods begin to redden they are a nice string 
bean ; none better, he says. Yours truly, 
C. H. Campbell.
