POLE LIMA BEANS-Continued

Pole Lima Bean
■t A SAFE RELIABLE CROPPER, LARGE ROUND
PLUMP BEANS OF PERFECT QUALITY
The shelled Bean of Dreer's Pole Lima is almost round, quite distinct from the
flat-seeded sorts. To those who prefer this shape and who are in a position to
provide poles, we confidently recommend this old favorite. It has been grown for
many years, and before we introduced the Bush Limas, was one of the most
popular. It is medium early, and will be found admirable for private gardeners.
It is wonderfully prolific; the pods are borne in clusters, are about 5 inches long,
and are always compactly filled. One of the most valuable qualities of Dreer's Pole
Lima is that even when past its best stage, it remains tender and loses none of
its delicious flavor. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 35c. qt., $1.25 for 4 qts.,
$2.25 pk.

Pole Lima Bean
A FAVORITE FOR OVER HALF A CENTURY
This standard sort is still immensely popular. It has been in "our gardens for
over half a century and is as reliable as ever today. It is a heavy cropper; the
Beans are large, plump, and of delicious flavor. This old favorite is still widely
grown for both family use and market. The large, flat, kidney-shaped Beans are
tender and delicious when cooked. May be used either in the green state or when
dried. Price, 10c. pkt., 20c. pt., 30c. qt., $1.10 for 4 qts., $2.00 pk.

GREEN-PODDED SNAP POLE BEAN
A Marvel of productiveness from July until frost
Large, thick, stringless pods, meaty, tender and delicious
This best and most popular green-podded snap Pole Bean is a marvel of continued
productiveness and is ten days earlier than any other green-podded Pole Bean. First
pickings may be made in the latitude of New York early in July, and if gathered
as they become ready for "snaps," the vine will continue to produce in abundance
until frost.
The pods hang in great clusters from the top to the bottom of the vine and can be
gathered by the handful; they are very large, 6 to 8 inches in length, entirely string-
less, plump, round and almost solid meat, cooking meltingly tender and of superb flavor.
It is also used as a Shelled Bean, excellent in that form.
We have supplied Old Homestead Beans to customers in almost every State in
the Union, and those who report on them, invariably do so in most flattering terms.
(See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt, 30c. pt., 50c. qt., $1.75 for 4 qts.
"1 wish to say that your Old Homestead Bean deserves 'Honorable Mention.' All the seeds 1 received from
