LANDRETHS’ TENNESSEE WONDER—69 Days

over 40 years to mislead the Jefferson Co., N. Y., 
bean seed growers. Dried seeds, large, flattish, and 
oval, incurved at eye. Color generally gray, but 
marked with many black irregular stripes. The pods 
are 8 to 9 inches long, round light green, tinged with 
purple. Curved, round to double barrelled in shape. 
Stringless when fit for table use. 
Lazy Wife—74 Days. Seed attractive, glossy 
white, round. Pods green, borne in clusters, flat, 
broad, 5^ inches long, containing 6 or 7 beans. 
Small foliage, a good, late, productive, stringless 
pole bean. 
Missouri Pole—66 Days. Pods stringy, medium 
green splashed with red. A good climber. Seed 
large, oval. Color drab spotted with brown tan. 
McCaslan Pole—67 Days. A prolific, early ma¬ 
turing, green podded, pole variety, of excellent 
quality. Pods are rather flat and slightly curved, 
7 to 8 inches long, thick, dark green, meaty, quite 
stringless. The shell Beans are a flattish pure white. 
Nancy Davis, Striped Creaseback or Scotia —73 
Days. Seed Kidney shaped, mottled putty color 
with dark stripes. Blossoms bright crimson with 
silver gray hood. Pods green, round, full, crease- 
back, slightly curved, dashed with purple as the 
pods mature, 5 to inches long, containing 8 or 9 
beans. A good semi-stringless variety. Best variety 
for planting to Corn. A good climber; productive. 
Red Speckled Oval Cut Short —74 Days. Pods 
3§ inches long, small dark green, flat, stringy. A 
favorite in the South for planting to Corn, as it is a 
good climber. Seeds, gray splashed with crimson. 
Scarlet Runner—64 Days. A half round, stringy, 
broad pod, valuable as a shell bean for food or for 
ornamental purposes. Not a good runner in the 
Southern states, color of blossoms scarlet. Pods 
average 5| to 6 inches long. A great favorite in 
New England both for flowers and as a vegetable. 
POLE LIMAS 
THE FLAVOR OF ALL THE POLE LIMAS IS SUPERIOR TO BUSH LIMAS. Probably Originally 
a Native of Peru or Brazil. Two Pounds Will Plant 100 Yards; Thirty Pounds Will Plant an 
Acre. Seed breaks ground in 7 days. One inch high in 9 days under most favorable 
circumstances in greenhouse 
Carolina or Sewee— 80 Days. Named after the 
river in South Carolina. A small early variety of 
Limas, much more used in the South than elsewhere, 
as a Butter Bean, more vigorous in growth and more 
prolific than the ordinary Jersey Limas. Very small 
foliage, short pointed leaves, more metallic green 
than the ordinary Lima. Pods, about 3 inches long, 
borne in clusters, averaging 3 or 4 small white beans. 
Similar to Dwarf Sewee, Henderson's Bush or Baby. 
Challenger, Dreer’s or Fordhook Pole—89 Days. 
Beans very full or plump, larger foliage than Jersey 
Lima, pods not so long as the King of the Garden; 
nor so early; the original parent of the Fordhook 
Bush, meaty and good flavor. Pods about 4 inches 
long, containing about 3 or 4 beans which are 
similar but not as plump as the Fordhook Bush Lima. 
Florida Butter Speckled Pole —77 Days. Plant 
similar to Carolina. Borne in clusters. Seed small, 
buff spotted with reddish-brown. Usually three 
beans in a pod. 
King of the Garden—84 Days. One of the best 
and most productive Pole Limas, large leaved, good 
climber. Vine of a branching habit, pods about 
4£ to inches long, dark, large and containing 
about 3 or 4 beans to the pod. Seed flat, and white 
with a slight green tinge. 
LANDRETHS’ LARGE GREEN SEEDED—84 
Days. Seed of a decided green tinge, not bleached 
ivory-white. This green seeded selection is similar 
to the Jersey Lima of years ago which has never 
been excelled. The best form of Jersey Limas on 
the market, for both private and market gardeners, 
unsurpassed in flavor, of superior quality, averaging 
4 or 5 beans to the pod, which is 4§ to inches long. 
All Landreths’ beans are cleaned, handpicked and 
polished with the greatest care.
