GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX (POLE BEAN).— 
This is one of the best of the pole snap beans, 
tender and stringless. Commences to bear about 
ten days later than the early dwarf wax beans and 
yields an abundant supply until frost. The pods 
are beautiful yellow about six inches long, and will 
produce in clusters of four to six. A variety that 
is sure to give satisfaction. Pkt. 10c.; pt. 35c.; qt.

EXTRA EARLY VALENTINE 
EXTRA EARLY RED VALENTINE — For 
snaps there is nothing superior to this variety among 
the green-podded sorts, and many prefer it to the wax 
varieties. The vines stand erect, with coarse, dark 
green leaves. The pods are medium in length, very 
fleshy, crisp and tender. Our stock is very fine. I 
think equal to any that can be produced. Pkt. 10c.; 
pt. 25c. ; qt. 40c., postpaid. By express, 4 qts. (54c. ;

BEANS. 
DREBU’S BUSH LIMA 
DREER’S BUSH LIMA OR POT ATO BEAN. 
—This is a thick, meaty bean of extra good flavor, 
and of high food value. The plant grows from 12 
to 18 inches high, and the bush form of growth is 
well established. It is very productive, the pods 
being short and thick. This is a dwarf form of the 
Dreer or Challenger pole lima, intermediate in size 
between Burpee and Henderson. This is a great 
market bean. The gardeners ayound this section 
plant many bushels of it to grow green beans for the 
Northern markets. They often receive as much as 
$4.00 to $5.00 per half barrel basket for their first 
picking. The bean is very thick and plump, rather 
than fiat and oval. The pods are crammed so full 
that a basket of green pods will yield half the 
quantity of shelled beans. Very popular either for 
market or the home table. Pkt. 10c. ; pt. 30c.; qt. 
50c., postpaid. By express, 4 qts. $1.25 ; pk. $2.00; 
1-? bus. $3.50: bus. $0.25. 
HENDERSON’S BUSH LIMA.— This com¬ 
mences to bear ten days ahead of any other variety 
and remains full until killed by the frost. This is 
a small dwarf Lima that gives you the first beans of 
the season. The quality is very good though not of 
the best. In productiveness I doubt if it has an 
equal as it bears continually until frost, and as 
stated above commences in advance of any other 
variety. Pkt. 10c.; pt. 25c. : qt. 45c.. postpaid. 
By express, 4 qts. 90c.; pk. $1.50 ; bus. $5.50.
