• * | . Earlier, more productive, 
Harlequin and with much longer and 
more attractive pods than the well known 
London Horticultural or Speckled Cran¬ 
berry, also hardier and a more reliable 
cropper. The large ovate beans are of the 
hignest quality either green shelled or dry. 
Vines vigorous with large light colored 
leaves. Pods very long, six to seven inches, 
striped or splashed a deeper and more bril¬ 
liant red than London Horticultural; dry 
beans a trifle longer. We consider this t he 
most attractive and the finest bean of the 
Horticultural class. (See cut , page 4.)

London Horticultural or mo d - 
Speckled Cranberry f™ l u e s ly 
large, light colored leaves. Pods medium 
length, four and one-half to five and one- 
half inches, broad, pale green when young, 
becoming as they mature yellowish green 
striped or splashed with red. Beans large, 
ovate, flesh colored, splashed and spotted 
with wine-red and of the highest quality, 
either green or dry. One of the best of the 
Horticultural varieties as a general pur¬ 
pose late green shell bean for home or 
market. Many like this sort better than 
limas. Known also as Wren's Egg.

1 WT'C One of the best of the later 
Lazy W It© green podded pole beans 
for snaps or green shell use. The medium 
green pods,borne in large clusters, are five 
and one-half to six and one-half inches 
long, broad, thick, fleshy and entirely

buttery flavor which is retained until they 
are nearly ripe. Dry beaus excellent for 
winter use. Seed white, medium size, 
slightly oval or nearly round. Pkt. 10c;

POLE LIMAS 
The culture is the same as for other pole 
beaus except that being more tender, the 
seed is usually planted one to two weeks 
later. In some classes of soil it will be 
found of advantage to place the beans on 
edge with the eye down as when planted 
in this manner they germinate and come 
up more readily. 
> p i i • In earliness, 
Seibert 8 tarly Lima easeofsheii- 
ing, size, beauty and quality of the green 
beans, this variety leads all other early 
limas for either the garden or market. 
Vine vigorous, very productive and con¬ 
tinues so from the very first to the last of 
the season. Pods medium green,large, flat, 
about five inches long, moderately curved. 
Green shelled beans very large, very 
tender and of finest quality. Introduced 
by us in 1895. Seed ovoid, flat with slight 
greenish tinge. The beans shrink in dry¬ 
ing so that tne seed is about the size of the Large White Lima.

TsJa-* 1 Pnlfl I i nt i One of fche latest and most valuable 
Ideal r Oie Lima lima beans yet introduced. Vines un¬ 
usually vigorous, very productive, bearing large clusters of 
broad medium green pods each six to seven inches long, and 
containing four to six large beans of most excellent quality. 
This variety matures a little later than Seibert's Early Lima 
but the pods are much larger. Seed large, ovoid, flat, white 
with slight greenish tinge. Splendid for market gardeners.

King of the Garden Lima p;S,^7e. vig ^ S n?e d 
dium dark green, very large, five to six inches long, broad, 
flat, filled with four or five immense white beans of finest qual¬ 
ity. On account of its large pods it is a favorite with market 
gardeners. It will come into bearing earlier and make larger 
pods if not more than two vines are left to grow on a pole. 
Seed very large, ovoid, flat, white, with slight greenish tinge.
