64 EARLY MARKET. (See page 5.) 

Holmes’ pure-bred high-yielding strain of Ford- 
hook Bush Limas grown from our seed, our Mr.. Pole or Corn Beans 
Wm. Berger inspecting the crop. 3a. 
A pkt. will plant about 20 ft. of row or 15 hills; 1 1b. 100 hills; 20 to 30 lbs. per acre. 
* Plant after danger of frost, in a warm, fertile and well drained, mel- 
low soil. Drop 3 to 5 seeds, 1% inches deep per hill, 2 to 3 feet apart in 
the row and 3 to 4 feet between rows. Use 8- to 9-foot poles set 2 to 3 
inches in the ground. Where seed is dropped 4 inches apart in 4- to 5-foot 
rows, trellis may be built with well-braced end poles. Shallow planting 
in a well-drained soil is advised to overcome soil-borne organisms, which 
are frequently responsible for a poor stand. Pole beans may be planted — 
with corn. 
86 Logan Giant. (65 days.) There is no bean of its class that we ‘ 
have grown that is as tender and as fine quality. Many of our custom- 
ers consider it the best pole bean that they have ever grown. The pods, 
produced in clusters and in great abundance, are light green, 6-7 inches 
long, broad, round and slightly curved. From ten days to two weeks 
earlier than Kentucky Wonder. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 Ib., 25c; 1b., 45c; 2 Ibs., 85c; 5 1bs., $2.00. 
80 Kentucky Wonder. (Old Homestead.) (65 days.) Continues to 
bear throughout the season, if the pods are picked as they mature. The 
pods are 9 to 10 inches long, very deeply creased, meaty, stringless ~ 
when young and of the finest quality. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 Ib., 25c; lb., 45c; 2 Ibs., 85c; 5 1bs., $2.00. 
85 LAZY WIFE. (74 days.) Broad, thick, fleshy green pods, entirely 
stringless. Pods average 6 inches and are borne in great abundance. 
The white beans may be used as soup beans if allowed to dry in the 
pods. PkEt., 10c; % Ib., 25c; Ib., 45c; 2 lbs., 85c; 5 lbs., $2.00. 
84 King Horticultural. (70 days.) An improvement on London Horti- 
cultural or Speckled Cranberry; has larger beans and pods, matures ©

79 HOLMES’ BUTTER BEAN. (70 days.) They ripen earlier than the 
lima bean. The pods hang in clusters, and they are much thicker 
through than the lima. More delicious than the lima. We want every 
gardener to give these beans a trial and be convinced that they are all 
we represent them to be. 
Pkt., 10c; 4% Ib., 25c; 1b., 45c; 2 Ibs., 85c; 5 1bs., $2.00.

Pole Lima Beans 
102 Holmes’ Green Prolific Lima. (85 days.) Introduced by H. L. 
Holmes. The most productive pole lima bean. Grows green, stays 
green. We find the bean is far more productive than any other pole 
lima. The large pods hang in clusters of from 5 to 8, which makes 
them easy to gather, each having 5 to 6 beans in a pod. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 Ih., 25c; lb., 45c; 2 Ibs., 85c; 5 lbs., $2.00.

fiat pods of good quality, containing 5 or 6 large beans. Very prolific.
