POLE BEANS 
Early Golden Cluster Wax. The best yellow-podded Bean for the 
home-garden. It bears large clusters of handsome pods 7 inches long 
early in the season. They are broad, brittle, and perfectly stringless 
until quite old, varying from creamy white to yellow. 
Horticultural. Also known as Wren’s Egg. Especially adapted to 
sections having a cool climate and short seasons. The coarse vines 
bear showy 5-inch pods in great abundance. The Beans are pale 
green, turning creamy white heavily streaked with carmine as they 
grow older. 
Kentucky Wonder Green-Pod. The most popular green-podded Pole 
Bean, and regarded as the most useful for all purposes. The plants 
bear early and continue if the Beans are gathered regularly as soon 
as they are ready. The deep saddle-back pods are 8 inches long, 
completely stringless while young, and unexcelled in flavor. 
Kentucky Wonder Wax. A golden yellow variation of Kentucky 
Wonder, with 7-inch pods, delicious and completely stringless when 
young. It matures in 68 days. 
Lazy Wife. Noted for its broad, thick Beans borne in huge clusters, 
perfectly stringless and brittle until quite old. Unsurpassed quality. 
The ripe seeds are white and furnish splendid Shell Beans for winter. 
Mammoth or King Horticultural. An improved form of the well-known 
Horticultural, with larger Beans and pods borne most abundantly. 
The green pods are 7 inches long and frequently streaked with 
carmine. 
FIELD BEANS 
Red Kidney. Vines grow 20 to 22 inches high, bearing long pods with 
5 to 6 red, kidney-shaped Beans in each. Pods are flat, broad, 
stringy, with very red meat, used generally as a Soup Bean when 
dried. 
White Kidney. Strong-growing variety bearing big, coarse, dark green 
pods well packed with large, kidney-shaped, white Beans used when 
ripe for Soup Beans or baking. 
White Marrow. A very richly flavored Bean used, when ripe, for 
baking or other kitchen purposes. The broad flat pods are borne 
on vigorous bushes and contain 6 to 8 very fat white Beans generally 
rated very high in quality. 
Yellow Eye. A very hardy vine bearing prolific quantities of long 
green pods of no particular value for cooking when young, but the 
dried, little, white, yellow-eyed Beans are delicious when used for 
baking or in soup. Good cooks prefer them. 
LIMA BEANS 
Burpee’s Bush. Plants are perfect bush type. Beans broad, buttery, 
and deliciously flavored, borne 10 to 14 days earlier than tall varie¬ 
ties of equal quality. Remarkably prolific for the bush type. 
Early Jersey Pole. This is one of the earliest Pole Lima Beans to bear. 
It produces an abundance of 5-inch pods with 4 or 5 Beans of excel¬ 
lent size and quality. 
Fordhook Bush. Plants are strongly erect, bearing large clusters of 
pods well above the ground, averaging 4J^ inches long and con¬ 
taining 4 or more fat, thin-skinned Beans, very tender and of fine 
quality. 
Improved Burpee’s Bush. This is the largest Bush Lima. Pods are 
frequently 6 inches long and contain 4 or 5 extra-large, thick, tender, 
delicate green Beans of exceptionally fine flavor. It outyields other 
varieties by fully one-third. 
King of the Garden Pole. A standard large-podded variety bearing its 
huge pods in pairs in great profusion. Do not let more than two 
plants grow in one hill. This will bring them into bearing early. 
Large White Pole. A late-bearing sort, producing clusters of fine large 
pods 5 inches long containing 4 or 5 big Beans of superb flavor.
