POLE BEANS-Gontinued 
CDhite (Jpeose 
This variety is especially valuable for its extreme earliness and its habit of per¬ 
fecting all of its pods at ilie same time. Vines small to medium, but vigorous, and 
In good soil wonderfully productive, bearing pods in clusters of from four to twelve. 
Pods medium length, silvery-green, of the Le t quality as snaps and stand shipping 
better than most sorts. The beans are too small to be of much value when shelled 
green, but are of very superior quality baked. When dry they are small, oval, very 
white and hard. Pkt. 10c; PL 25c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bushel $8.00 
London Horticultural, of SpecKted Crandairy ..

pods short, bro id, pale green, but becoming streaked with bright red; beans large, 
ovate, splashed and spotted with wine-red, and of the highest quality, either greeu

Kentucky v Wonder 
This splendid variety, introduced by us in 1885, 
has since been offered as Seek No Further , and was 
introduced in 1891 as a novelty under the name of Old 
Homestead. Vine vigorous, climbing well and very 
productive, bearing its pods in large clusters; blos¬ 
soms white; pods green, very long, often reaching 
nine or ten inches, nearly round when young, ana 
very crisp, becoming very irregular and spongy 
as the beans ripen. Dry beans long, oval, 
dun-colored. An early and very prolific sort, 
with showy pods which are most excellent for 
snaps. It is sometimes catalogued as being 
the same as Southern Prolific , but this is aa 
error, as the latter is two weexs 
later and has shorter pods.

POLE 
Similar to Kentucky Wonder, except 
that the dry beans are white, more slen¬ 
der and curved, and the pods a 
lit r le more slender than those of 
that variety. We think this 
sort an improvement in earli¬ 
ness, productiveness and quality 
over the Kentucky Wonder, and 
it has the advantage of a white 
seed, and so does not discolor in 
cooking. It is certainly a splen¬ 
did variety, and is grown with 
great success in the South, where 
many think it the best pole bean 
in cultivation.
