«< OLD HOMESTEAD.” This we regard as far ahead of any other green Pole Bean. In our trial 
grounds last summer it was fit for the table on August 1st, which was at least ten days earlier 
than any other green climbing sort. It is enormously productive, the pods hanging in great clus¬ 
ters from top to bottom of the polo. It is entirely stringless, and the pods arc a silvery green color, 
resembling the popular Refugee Bush Bean. The pods, though large, cook tender and molting, 
and we can recommend it as the best green Pole Bean. lac. pkt., 3Uc. pt., 50c. qt., $3.50 peck. 
“ GOLDEN CHAMPION.” This is certain to be the leading Early Wax Polo Bean, as it is fully 
two weeks earlier than the Golden Cluster Wax Pole, being fit to pick on July 24lh of last year. 
The pods are enormous, resembling the Yosemite Wax in size and form; color light yellow. 
They are absolutely stringless and cook tender. The Golden Champion was the only Wax Pole 
Bean that did not rust or spot badly in our trial grounds last summer. Every garden should 
contain the Golden Champion and “ Old 
Homestead.” (See cut.) 15c. pkt., 30c. 
pt., 50c. qt., S3.00 peck. 
Horticultural, or Speckled Cranberry. 
Popular either in the green state or 
shelled. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., 
$1.75 peck. 
SCARLET RUNNER. A great favorite, 
both ornamental and useful. Height, 
ten feet, presenting dazzling scarlet 
flowers from July to October. Used 
both as a string bean and shelled. 
Seeds, when ripe, lilac, mottled black. 
10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.00 pock. 
White Dutch Runner. Similar to the 
preceding, excepting seeds and flowers, 
which are white. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 
35c. qt., $2.00 peck. 
German Wax Pole. One of the best 
varieties either for snaps or shelled in 
the green state. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 
35c. qt., $2.00 peck. 
Our packets of Beans, with few excep¬ 
tions, are really small square boxes 
containing nearly half a pint. 
EARLY GOLDEN CLUSTER WAX. 
JERSEY EXTRA EARLY LIMA BEAN. 
EARLY GOLDEN j* 
' * CLUSTER WAX. 
Begins to bear early in July and 
continues until frost. The pods are six to eight inches long, are most freely produced, 
and are of a beautiful golden yellow; the flavor is most delicious. Can be used either 
shelled or as a string bean. (See cut.) 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.50 pock. 
P ole liha beans 
LARGE WHITE LIMA. With nearly every one the seeds, either green or ripe, of 
this variety are considered the most tender and delicious of the Bean family, and it is 
therefore universally grown both for market and family use. The ripe seeds are 
flatfish kidney shape, and have a dull white color. 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.25 peck. 
DREER'S IMPROVED LIMA. The distinctive features of this are early maturity, 
large yield and extra quality. The bean itself is thick and round, rather than oval¬ 
shaped, as most other Limas are. 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $3.00 peck. 
JERSEY EXTRA EARLY LIMA. In our experience with it from year to year, wo 
have found it invariably ten days to two weeks earlier than any other Pole Lima. 
The pods of it have been largo enough to pick July 24th, and have been sold in the 
New York markets a week later. The beans are a trifle smaller than those of the 
Large White Lima, but are all the better on that account, as small beans arc always 
considered preferable, being more tender and delicious. Every one desiring a Polo 
Lima Bean should plant the Jersey Extra Early, as it combines, better than any other, 
quantity, qualify and earliness. (See c%d.) 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 45c. qt., $3.00 peck. 
SMALL “LIMA OR SIEVA. A variety of the large White Lima. The pods, however, 
are much smaller, usually about three inches long. It is a little earlier and more 
hardy. The seeds also are smaller, but of the same color as the Largo Wliito Lima. 
15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., S2.50 peck.
