two and one-half feet apart, and drop the beans three

at once recognize the wonderful merit of this new Bean 
when it is stated that, in addition to the superior quali- 
ties of the old Refugee or 1000 to 1, this new sort is ab- 
solutely stringless. It has every quality desirable in a 
bush bean—true bush habit, 18 inches high, unusually 
productive. The pods are round, very handsome, and 
average over 5 inches in length. They are fleshy, tender, 
brittle and entirely free from strings at all stages of 
growth. This splendid bean is sure to become very pop- 
ular with gardeners and canners, and will, we believe, 
completely displace the old Refugee as soon as enough 
seed stock can be produced. 1 pt. 15c.; qt. 25e, pk. $1.75.
