pole Lima Beans. 
LARGE WHITE LIMA. With nearly 
every one the seeds, either green or 
ripe, ot 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 kid¬ 
neyshaped, and haveadull white color. 
10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.25 peck. 
DREER’S IMPROVED LIMA. The 
distinctive features of this are early 
maturity, large yield and extra qual¬ 
ity. The bean itself is thick and round, 
rather than oval-shaped, as most 
other Limas are. 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 
35c. qt., $2.25 peck. 
JERSEY EXTRA EARLY LIMA. In 
our experience with it from year to 
year, we have found it invariably ten 
days to two weeks earlier than any 
other Pole Lima. The pods of it have 
been large 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 are al¬ 
ways considered preferable, being 
more tender and delicious. Every 
one desiring a Pole Lima Bean should 
plant the Jersey Extra Early, as it 
combines, better than any other, 
quantity, quality and earliness. 15c. 
pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., $2.75 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 Large White Lima. 10c. pkt., 
20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.25 peck. 
HENDERSON’S 
“EARLY 
LEVIATHAN” 
Pole Lima. 
A grand new variety about one week 
earlier than any other large Pole Lima, 
rendering it of great value especially in 
sections where limas are apt to be 
caught by early frosts. The size of the 
bean, productiveness and other features 
leave nothing to be desired. It is shown 
on a colored plate and fully described 
on pages 16 and 17. Price, 20c. pkt., 3 
pkts. 50c., 7 pkts. $1.00. 
•‘OLD HOMESTEAD.” 
Our packets of Beans, with few ex¬ 
ceptions, are really small square 
boxes containing nearly half a pint.

“OLD HOMESTEAD.” This we re¬ 
gard 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 pro¬ 
ductive, the pods hanging in great 
clusters from top to bottom of the 
pole. It is entirely stringless, and 
the pods are a silvery green color, re¬ 
sembling the popular Refugee Bush 
Bean. The pods, though large, cook 
tender and melting, and we can recom¬ 
mend it as the best green Polo Bean. 
(See cut.) 15c. pkt., 25c. pt., 40c. qt., 
$2.50 peck. 
Horticultural or Speckled Cranberry. 
Popular either in the green state or 
shelled. 10c. pkt , 20c. pt., 35c. qt., 
$2.00 peck. 
SCARLET RUNNER. A great favor¬ 
ite, both ornamental and useful. 
Height ten feet, presenting dazzling 
scarlet flowers from July to October. 
Used both asastringbean and shelled. 
Seeds, when ripe, lilac, mottled black. 
10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.00 peck. 
White Dutch Runner. Similar to the 
preceding, excepting seeds and 
flowers, which are white. 10c. pkt., 
20c. pt., 35c. qt., $2.00 peck. 
GOLDEN OR WAX PODDED

“GOLDEN CHAMPION.” This is the 
leading Early Wax Pole Bean, as it is 
fully two weeks earlier than the Gold¬ 
en Cluster Wax Pole, being fit to pick 
on July 24th of last year. The pods 
are enormous, resembling the Yosem- 
ite Wax in size and form; color light 
yellow. They are absolutely stringless 
and cook tender. The Golden Cham¬ 
pion was the only Wax Polo Bean that 
did not rust or spot badly in our trial 
grounds last summer. Every garden 
should contain the “Golden Cham¬ 
pion" and “Old Homestead.” 15c. 
pkt , 25o. pt., 40c. qt., $2.50 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. 
Early Golden Cluster Wax Pole. Be¬ 
gins to bear early in July and con¬ 
tinues until frost. The pods are six 
to eight inches long, are most freely 
produced, and are of a beautiful gold¬ 
en yellow ; the flavor is most delicious. 
Can be used either shelled or as a 
string bean. 15c. pkt., 30c. pt., 50c. 
qt.; very scarce.
