SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 



BUSH BEANS 



1 pint to 100 feet of drill; 1 to 1^ bushels per acre. 



Beans are tender and should not be planted until the soil is well warmed. 

 Sowing too early will often result in a poor stand and uneven ripening. Sow the 

 seed 1% to 2 inches deep in rows not less than 18 inches apart and firm the soil 

 to assist germination. Allow the plants to stand 4 to 10 inches apart in the row 

 according to variety. 



Shallow cultivating and hoeing should be done frequently until the vines 

 are in blossom. To prevent blight do not cultivate deeply and avoid working 

 them while the vines are wet. Beans grow best in a warm, well-drained, sandi 

 loam. For succession plant every two weeks until about August 15th.

 been added a wonderful degree of hardiness which helps New Stringless with- 

 stand adverse weather conditions better than its parent stock.

a green shelled bean it is equal to the lima in quality while any surplus crop can be kept for winter use. The pods are 5 



inches long, stout, flat and stringless. They are green at first changing as they mature to yellow splashed with carmine. 



The dried seeds are large, almost round, light buff spotted with dark red. Our 



special stock of this variety is superior to the old style Dwarf Cherry, being 



entirely stringless and free from runners. 



Black Valentine TIi'S variety has proven itself to be the most hardy 

 of all string beans. It will resist cold and wet better 

 than any other sort and therefore can be planted extremely early and very late 

 in the season. They should be picked as soon as ready as they will become 

 tough if allowed to remain on the vines too long. 



Noted for its great produc- 



tivenesis, this variety has 

 gained favor for canning and pickling. The dense foliage protects the pods from 

 early frosts, thereby prolonging the season. The pods measure 5 to 5V4 inches, 

 are round, somewhat slender, almost stringless and of good quality.
