(BUSCH GRUENE BOHNEN.) 

 HOPKINS' EARLIEST RED VALENTINE BEANS. 



6. Are one of the earliest and most prolific round green podded Beans that have 

 ever been placed in the grower's hands. We secured this very superior stock from 

 a farmer in the State of New York, by name of Hopkins, who, after years of 

 greatest effort and determination, produced what he has since termed Hopkin's 

 Valentines. It comes into bearing earlier than the old stock of Valentines, is a 

 wonderful producer and a perfect shipper. It will remain in a perfect condi- 

 tion for nearly two weeks* after picking. We have secured almost the entire 

 stock of this wonderful Bean, which we offer vou at very reasonable prices. 

 Pt. 15c. Qt. 20c, Gal. 65c, PecK $1.00, Bus. $4.00. 



7. BOLGIANO'S EARLIEST RED VALENTINE BEANS.— Our stock of this 

 very superior Bean has been carefully built up to satisfy a most critical market 

 gardener's trade, which trade we cater to. It is ready for picking in 35 days 

 from planting — ten days earlier than the ordinary Red Valentine Beans. Can- 

 ners use them because they are always tender and have beautiful round green 

 pods. PKt. 5c, Pt. 10c, Qt. 20c, Gal. 50c. PecK 90c, Bus. $3.50. 



8. NEW GIANT STRINGLESS VALENTINE— Is one of the earliest round pod- 

 ded green Bean in cultivation. Pods are very large, meaty and tender. They are 

 absolutely stringless, unusually crisp, round, full and fleshy, a decided acquisi- 

 tion and one of the best that has ever been placed in the hands of the_ grower. 

 Ourstock is true, having been grown from seed obtained from the originator. 

 I,arge truckers and growers are frequently shy of anything new. But they need 

 not have the slightest apprehension to plant this most valuable Bean. PKt. 5c, 

 Pt. 15c, Qt. 20c, Gal. 65c, PecK $1.25; Bus. $5.00. 



9. BURPEE'S NEW STRINGLESS GREEN POD BEANS— It is crisp, tender, 

 luscious flavor. Its handsome light green pods are ready to market TWO 

 WEEKS EARLJER than the Red Valentine. Pods are full, fleshy, and are pro- 

 duced in great abundance, remaining long in an edible condition , making them 

 especially desirable for the shipper and trudk growers. Persons planting it in 

 their kitchen gardens have been delighted. "Canners prefer it and willingly pay 

 higher prices on account of saving them the heavy expenses of stringing. 

 PKt. 5c, Pt. 10c, Qt. 20c, Gal. 65c, PecK $1.25, Bus. $5.00. 



10. DWARF HORTICULTURAL OR CHERRY BEAN.-A crop of these Beans 

 has never failed to pay. — This is a broad, long, flat, meaty Bean, very pro- 

 ductive, delicious flavor. Our stock is so superior that growers who have used 

 it have found it to be such- a certain money-maker for them that they willingly 

 give outside figures to secure the same, often giving their order months in ad- 

 vance of planting season. It also makes a good dried Bean for Winter. PKt 5c. 

 and 10c, Pt. 15c, Qt. 25c, Gal. 75c. PecK $1.25, Bus. $5.00. 



11. HENDERSON'S BOUNTIFUL BEANS.— A prolific and continuous bearer. 

 The first in Spring — the last in Fall. Absolutely stringless— very tender and of 

 delicious flavor. PKt. 5c, Pt. 15c, Qt. 25c, Gal. 75c, PecK $1.25, Bus. $5.00. 



12. EARLY MOHAWK.— The hardiest of the early varieties. It can be planted 

 early, and produces large strong vines which bear profusely. PKt. 5c, Pt. 10c, 

 Qt. 20c, Gal. 50c, PecK 90c, Bus. $3.50. 



13. WHITE NAVY OR JUNE BEANS.— Grown largely to save as a dried Bean 

 for Winter use. It has been an excellent paying_ crop the past several seasons. 

 PKt. 5c, Pt. 10c, Qt. 15c, Gal. 40c, PecK 75c, Bus. $3.00. 



HOPKINS' EARLIEST RED ROUND GREEN POD VALENTINE BEANS. 



14. BlacK Valentine, Henderson's, or King of the Earlies.— Early,

 Gal. 80c. PecK $1.50. Bus. $6.00.

Crop of Wax Beans very short; prices subject to advance ; order early. 



CURRIE'S RUST-PROOF WAX BEANS. 



SUNSHINE WAX BErtN. 



18. The beautiful, clear, attractive, bright golden color of this most deli- 

 cious Wax Bean gave it the name of Sunshine Wax. In the market, side by 

 side with many of the older and better known Wax Beans, the Sunshine 

 Wax shone out and immediately attracted the attention of all. The 

 vines are so heavily laden with an abundance of long, round, shapely pods 

 it seems hardly possible that they can hold them all. You think of the 

 Sunshine again when you are marketing a large crop of fine Beans a week 

 or two before your neighbors have begun to pick. Now is your chance; or- 

 der quick. Our supply is very limited this season. PKt. lOc, Pt. 20c. 

 Qt. 35c, Gal. $1.25, PecK $2.00, Bus. $8.00. 



19. CURRIE'S RUST-PROOF WAX BEAN.— Is the earliest to mature of 

 either the Green or Wax Beans. It is ready for market in 25 days from day 

 of planting. Its beautiful, pure, golden, long-flat pods of extra fine quality 

 are borne in abundance and attract the admiration of both the planter and 

 the consumer. It being the first bean in market, always commands most 

 profitable prices. It is entirely free from rust and blight. PKt, 5c and 1 0c. 

 Pt. 15c. Qt. 25c. Gal 75c. PecK $1.25, Bus. $5.00. 



20. WARDELL'S KIDNEY WAX,— Our stock of this very superior Bean has 

 been saved with such care that growers far and near, repeatedly state to us 

 that they have never seen its equal, and are always anxious to get the orders 

 in early in order to secure the same. It is hardier, both pods and plants are 

 more robust and healthy and it is a much heavier yielder than the ordinary 

 stocks that are sent out for which extremely high prices are asked, and it 

 is a remarkable shipper and seldom shows any sign of rust. PKt, 5c 

 and I0c. Pt. 15c. Qt. 25c, Gal. $1.00, PecK $2.00, Bus, $8.00. 



21. TAIT'S NEW WHITE WAX.— The name of this handsome Bean is not 

 taken from the color of the pods, as might be supposed, but from the clear 

 white of the dried Bean, the pods being a fine, rich yellow. It ishardy, and 

 seems to possess most every quality which could be desired in a Wax Bean. 

 It is certainly one of the handsomest Wax Bean on the market, and we do 

 not hesitate to commend it strongly. It should not be planted too closely. 

 PKt. 5c and 10c, Pt. 15c, Qt. 25c, Gal. $1.00, PecK $2.00, Bus. $8.00. 



CULTURE OF BUSH BEANS. 



To afford a regular succession of crops throughout the season, plant every 

 two weeks, from the middle of spring to the end of summer ; but not until 

 the soil becomes warm, as they are very sensitive to both heat and cold. 

 Plant in rows 18 inches apart, 2 inches deep; cultivate frequently, but only 

 when dry, as the scattering of earth on the foliage or pods when moist, will 

 cause them to become damaged with rust. This crop will flourish between 

 the ridges of celery, rows of corn or cabbage, when they are first planted, as 

 the Beans would be ready for the table before the other crops attain any size
