Lightning—While not quite equaling Jack’s fabulous bean 
stalk, of the fairy tale, that grew up and blossomed in a 
night, it still is very early and needs to he closely watched 
when the beans begin to form, as a very few days from 
the blossom will give pods suitable for string beans. But 
they keep right on growing, and in a few days more the 
pod's have toughened and not long after are tit for shell¬ 
ing. Besides being the earliest Bean, it is of fine quality 
and a .great yielder. Pkt., 10c.; pint, 30c.; quart, 50c. 
l^eaos. — (Pole.) 
A standard vegetable, fine for either “snap ’’ or “shell,’ 
green or dry beans. Easily grown. Do not plant until the 
ground begins to get warm, and never hoe while the leaves 
are wet, as it tends to rust. Give pole sorts support early. 
Golden Wax Flageolet -Deservedly a popular variety 
Robust vines crowded with clusters of wax-like, golden- 
yellow pods, full, fleshy and stringless, and quality of 
the very best. A handsome light color when cooked. 
Pkt., 10c.; pint, 35c.; quart, 60c. 
Lazy Wife’s— The old standby. A 
good cornfield Bean, and un¬ 
surpassed as a general garden 
sort. Never fails to produce 
loads of round, thick-fleshed 
pods, fine for snaps, and last 
long in perfect condition. Fine 
as a shell Bean also, and of 
superior quality. Pkt., 10c.; 
pint. 30c.; quart, 50c. 
Yard Long or Cuban Asparagus 
—This is a real curiosity. We 
have measured pods over three 
feet long, though two feet is a 
more common length. Quality 
. very good, and pods freely 
borne. Pkt., 15c.; pint, 50c. 
Early Golden Cluster —This bears 
a profusion of handsome gold¬ 
en pods, six to eight inches 
long, and continues in hearing 
a long time. Pkt., 10c.; pint, 
25c.; quart, 50c. 
Childs’ Horticultural— The old 
Horticultural, with the excep¬ 
tion of the Limas, enjoyed the 
distinction of being the finest 
flavored Shell Bean known, 
and was also considered very 
fine as a Snap Bean. Unfor¬ 
tunately it was a poor bearer, but we have come into 
possession of a strain where this defect has been bred 
out. This new strain will be found to be as prolific and 
many seeded to the pod as any other first-class sort, while 
still retaining its rich flavor Beans thick, large and 
round, white speckled and blotched with bright scarlet. 
A fine dry bean for baking or for stewing and serving 
with butter or cream. Pkt., 10c..; pint, 35c.; quart, 60c, 
JjAZY wipe’s.
