POWELL’S PROLIFIC POLE BEAN. 
This wonderful new variety, (first introduced by 
me,) originated in North Carolina—a few seeds 
were kindly sent me for trial by Prof. R. S. Powell, 
who writes:—"They are an extraordinary snap 
bean, surpassing anything ever seen in our section 
—bearing profu'sely. and continuing until frost; 
fchtbtr *>r* tender *od nal&t&ble—bills 
enough for a family.” & 
I have found this bean a most rampant grower, one plant 
filling a pole with a mass of vines—densely loaded with 
luscious beans. I do not claim too much when I say they 
Are more than twice as productive as any other 
variety in existence. They are a sight worth seeing: al¬ 
most a solid mass of pods from the bottom to top of the pole. 
The handsome green pods average 8 or 9 beans to the pod, 
grow very uniform, about 6 inches long; perfectly string ess. 
very thick meated, tender, rich and buttery; possess an ex¬ 
quisite flavor when cooked—many calling it without excep¬ 
tion the very best bean grown. It is a late variety and con¬ 
tinues in bearing so ong it might well be called ‘ everbear¬ 
ing,” I on'y offer it in packets. 
Packet io cts. 3 for 25 cts. 
BE SURE AND READ THE FOLLOWING. 
Mr. A. T. Cook. Your Powell Pole Beans are wonderful¬ 
ly prolific. I never saw anything to compare with them. 
From 16 hills we sold $7.65 worth 
and had all we could eat. I verily believe the hills would have paid 75 
cts. each, had all been sold. You cannot over-recommend this MONEY- 
M AKER. Y'ou should say in your catalog that an ordinary pole will not 
stand up under the load of beans. We had to prop up nearly every pole. 
This year will use heavy poles and trellis wire. A. J. Packard. Saco, Me. 
S. E. Gwinn, Fayette Co. W. Va. writes:—From 6 vines of the Prolific 
Beans I sold 3 bushels—a family of 8 eat from them liberally, and there is 
still a bushel on the vines. I never saw anything to comprae with them. 
All your seeds done well. 
Amy Thompson, Gallia Co. O. writes:—I raised 1800 Powell Beans on 
one vine ; which was the greatest yield I ever saw. 
Mrs. C. E. I.issford, Kinards, S. C. writes:—From 5 vines we ate beans 
all summer, and then gathered over one-half gallon of seed. They were 
the admiration of the neighborhood: I have picked a full mess of beans 
for dinner, without changing position at the vine. Our summer was dry, 
—but .the vines continued green and bearing, while all other kinds of beafis 
dried up; they are the best bean I ever saw grow, and I cannot command 
words to express the true value of such a garden treasure. 
Mr. A. T. Cook. Your Powell beans were the grandest I ever saw. 
FROM 5 HILLS WE PICKED 5 BUSHELS. 
They continued green and bearing long after all other beans were dead. 
I was greatly pleased -with all the seeds, and especially so with the extras.

World Famous Prizetaker Onion. 
ITS MILDNESS OF FLAVOR AND TENDERNESS ARE UNEX¬ 
CELLED EVEN BY THE BERMUDA VARIETIES. 
This is without exception, the grandest variety of yellow 
globe onion grown for our American climate. It is the 
largest, handsomest, finest 
flavored, and in every way 
the best. It is admittedly 
the largest of all varieties; 
samp'es have been grown to 
the enormous weight of 
Over 5 Pounds Each. 
With good culture it pro¬ 
duces wonderful crops every¬ 
where; one reports 4 over 1200 
bushels per acre;” another 
says “I grew 180 bushels on 
exactly one-sixth of an acre.” 
Excels In Yield, 
Excels in Size, 
Excels in Quality, 
Excels in Beauty. 
The Prizetaker is easily grown, ripens up hard and firm, 
is a good keeper, and always brings an extra price. It is 
cortainly a wonder, and nothing short of an actual trial will 
convey an idea of its great value. Don’t miss it. Remem¬ 
ber my seed is American grown, carefully selected and pure. 
Beware of cheap onion seed. Per Pkt. 10 cts. 3 for 25c. 
H. W. Bowie, Gray, Maine, writes:—Mr. A. T. Cook. Your onion seed 
produced the best onions I ever saw. 
Wm. M. Russell writes:—The extras you sent were most bountiful. 
The Prizetaker onions were up in 5 days.

M U()T encourage your boys and girls to grow 
HU I plants for sale. There is no easier 
way to get a pocket of pin money, ( except in getting up 
clubs for my seeds.) Let them plant a good lot of tomato, 
cabbage, celery, pepper, lettuce, asparagus, pansies, cauli¬ 
flower, egg-plant, etc. Care for them well, and paint a sign 
and hang by the front gate—and they will soon be taking in 
money, and learning business faster than they ever did De- 
fore in their life. Heed this friendly hint, for it will pay you 
in more ways than one. 
Ladies! Read This Testimonial, 
AND EVERYBODY WIIO WANTS A POCKET OF PIN MONEY.
