Michigan White Wax Bean 
This splendid variety may be briefly described as a white seeded Golden Wax. It is one of the earliest 
of the dwarf, snap beans. The vines are very vigorous and unusually productive. The pods are golden yellow, 
fully-as attractive as our well known Golden Wax and of the same exceptionally fine quality. The seed is 
white, a most valuable feature heretofore unattained in a bush bean of highest quality. (See colored plate , 
page *75, and further description , page 14) Pkt. lOc; Pt. 25c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qu. $1.50; Bu. $7.50 
St. Louis Perfection 
White Bean 
An early maturing, white 
seeded pole bean, very desirable 
for snaps and certainly unsur¬ 
passed green shelled. Vine 
vigorous and very productive. 
Pods round, very long, irregular 
in shape, medium green in color 
and quite stringless. The beans 
when shelled green are large, 
very tender and white, a very 
desirable feature when com¬ 
parison is made with the colored 
beans of other varieties of this 
class. Many consider this by 
far the most desirable pole bean 
yet offered. (See ait and further 
description , page 20) Pkt. 10c;

Tennessee Green Pod 
Bean 
This early intermediate snap 
bean is the longest podded of 
the dwarf sorts. Although com¬ 
paratively new to the seed trade, 
it is very popular in some sec¬ 
tions of the south and wherever 
known is spoken of in terms of 
highest praise. Vines large, 
somewhat spreading and pro¬ 
lific: foliage dark green, with 
leaves large and crumpled. Pods 
very long, flat, irregular in 
shape, bright but rather dark 
green and of excellent quality. 
After careful selection we have 
developed a uniformly true 
stock of the variety which is 
giving splendid satisfaction.

Carpinteria Pole Lima 
Bean 
A most excellent pole lima 
bean for the home and market 
garden. The beans are of largest Carpinteria Pole L,ma 
size and are not only much 
thicker than the average pole lima but their color is distinctive in having a decided greenish tint, which is 
recognized by experts as an indication of the very finest quality. When cooked the beans are very thin 
skinned, extremely tender and of especially fine flavor. (See cut on this page and further description , page 20)

Mammoth White Cory Com 
We consider this unquestionably the best extra early corn. The ears are very large for so early a variety. 
The stalks are about four feet high, each usually bearing two finely shaped ears which become fit for use as 
early as those of any variety in cultivation. They are twelve rowed, six to seven inches long, very symmetri¬ 
cal and handsome, seldom with any opening between the rows at the base. Grain large, broad, very white 
and of remarkably good quality for such an early sort. The size and beauty of this variety give it ^eady sale 
even when the market is overstocked. (Further description , page 30) Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 25c; 4 Qu. 75c; Bu. $5.00
