NOVELTIES and SPECIALTIES in VEGETABLES 
This list embraces new varieties that are, we believe, meritorious, and standard sorts worthy of special attention. 
WORCESTER CARMINE PODDED HORTICULTURAL POLE BEAN. 
This bean, offered under many names, is the richest colored and most productive Horticultural Variety producd 
to date. I he pods are of a bright carmine color, very large and well filled with extra sized beans that are also of a 
very bright appearance. It has so many features to recommend it that we feel sure both the private and market 
grower will, after a fair trial of it, discard other Horticultural Pole sorts. Pkt., locts. ; pt., 15 cts.; qt 25 cts • 
Pk., #1.50. 
THORBURN’S VALENTINE WAX BEAN. 
An introduction of 1896 that lias proved itself worthy of a place among the very best wax sorts. It is without 
exception the earliest Wax Bean in existence and might be correctly styled the Six Weeks Wax. The pods are very 
meaty, and with so very little string that they may justly be called stritigless. Certainly no other bean has less 
string or hard shell to the pod as long as they are suitable for cooking. It is the best quality for snap beans of an) 
Wax Bean in use. It is remarkably free from rust, and remains a long time without becoming tough. Pkt.. 10 cts.; 
pt., 15 cts.; qt., 30 cts.; pk., $2.00. 
HORTICULTURAL LIMA POLE BEAN. 
I his is the Lima bean for New England planters, being three weeks earlier than any other Lima. It is a cross 
between the large Lima and Horticultural pole beans, and has the shape of the former and color of the latter, while 
its flavor is a combination of these two finest of beans. It is very prolific, bearing five to seven beans in each pod. 
Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 15 cts.; qt., 30 cts.; pk., $2.00.
