Murvon's Everbearing 
BEANS—Pole Varieties 
Pole Beans are much heavier yielders than bush varieties. When properly staked up for 
vines to run up they require less room than the hush varieties. Hence, are largely used for 
small gardens, where the space is limited. Many claim the quality better. 
Culture. Do not plant Pole Beans until the ground is warm, and the weather settled, 
after all danger of frost is past—about May 1st. Set poles about 4 feet apart each way and 
put 6 beans around each pole. We are offering here the very best varieties of Pole Beans. 
One pound will plant 200 hills. 
Murvon’s Everbearing Bean 
Murvon's Everbearing or Everbearing Kentucky Wonder is without exception the finest 
flavored snap bean grown. The green pods, seven to ten inches long, are so fleshy they are 
often greater in thickness than width. They are solid, meaty, and very crisp. They com¬ 
mence bearing exceedingly early for a pole or climbing sort, and if pods are gathered as 
they mature the vines will continue to bear until killed by the fall frosts. This is one of the 
few pole beans that will bear a satisfactory crop without being poled. It will not produce as 
large a crop if grown without poles but will be more productive than any of the dwarf sorts. 
By planting a few hills in your corn, the corn stalks will act as a support for the vines, and 
you will get a good crop of both corn and beans.

Fordhook Bush Lima. (See illustration.* Many years of study and experi¬ 
ments have enabled us to markedly improve this wonderful variety. 
There can be no conflicting of opinions as regards which is the best variety, 
as it is universally agreed this is the best. It has so many virtues any one of 
which would in itself be a prime attribute for commendation, viz.; It has an ever- 
bearing habit of growth that permits it to bear all season. It is extremely early. 
It bears until late frost. The pods are immense in size. It is exceptionally pro¬ 
lific. It is of finest flavor. Is big, fat and juicy. Vines frequently bear half a 
hundred pods at one time. The pods are long, wide and thick. Plants are 2% feet 
across. Usually bears in clusters of 4 to 8 pods. It is the most popular of the 
Limas. The best for the commercial grower. The best for the home grower and 
by far the one best suited to the amateur. No. 4040 Pkt. 10c; ^ lb. 32c; 
BROCCOLI 
ITALIAN EARLY SPROUTING CALABRESE. A delicious variety which 
resembles Cauliflower, but is of more delicate flavor, having the combined flavor of 
Cauliflower and Asparagus. It is grown about the same as Cabbage. Simply sow 
the seed in the open ground in the spring and transplant the plants when large 
enough. The heads or sprouts when ready to use are deep green. After the central 
head is removed, the plant produces numerous branch heads which are fully as 
desirable as the first head produced. A continuous supply may be had for a long 
time from a few plants. While the sprouting type of Broccoli is of recent intro¬ 
duction, it is rapidly gaining in favor, and is a very profitable crop which finds 
ready sale at good prices in city markets. We have taken pains to secure seed of 
the very best strain. No. 4039 Pkt, 10c; 3 Pkts. 25c; oz. 50c; x /a lb. $1.50
