BEANS One pound of seed plants 100 feet of drill; 50 pounds plant an acre Fordhook Bush. Days to maturity-, 75. This %-igorous Lima is a prolific bearer, producing a large number of pods about 4 inches in length on \-ines gro-^ing to a height of 15 inches. The dried Beans are rather thick from side to side and are nearly white in color. For table purposes, Fordhook does not seem as desirable as the Wonder Bush.

From the standpoint of table quahty, we believe it is one of the most desirable Limas listed. The pods attain a length of 4 inches and contain an average of 4 Beans which are flat in shape and of fine flavor. The Wonder Bush is a prolific bearer, but is not the equal of Fordhook.

Carpinteria Pole. produces large quantities of handsome pods and is of unsurpassed flavor when prepared for the t-able.

Do not fail to plant some Carpinteria Pole this year. It v^-fll be your best Lima. Price, delivered: 141b. 15 cts.; lb. 40 cts.; 2 lbs. 75 cts.; 5 lbs. Si.75; 50 lbs. S15. Giant Stringless (Green . UOHXSOX & STOKES, 1898.) Days to ma- turity, 45. After 2:y years. Giant Stringless now holds a very prominent place among Green Beans. hen picked young and handled promptly it is of the highest table quality and of delicious flavor.

This black-seeded stringless Bean is by far the most hardy of its class. Although not as well knovsTi as the Round-Pod Kidney Wax, we consider it to be of equal quality. The slender pods grow to a length of 6 inches, being slightly curved near the tip. They are round, seven- seeded, very clear yellow, absolutely stringless and brittle. Color of dried seed, black. Price, delivered: ^ ^Ib. 15 cts.; lb. 35 cts.; 2 lbs. 65 cts.; 5 lbs. SI.50; 50 lbs. S13.50. Round-Pod Kidney (Wax). (JOHXSOS & STOKES, 1900-) Days to ma- turity, 4?.

Round-Pod Kidney Wax is a ver\- desirable table Bean, being of high flavor and excellent quality, but, as is the case with all Beans of this class, must be gathered when young. The pods are about 5 inches long, slightly cunv-ed, round, yellow, brittle and entirely string- less. .\Iore susceptible to cold weather than Pencil-pod.
