NEW GREEN 
..BUSH BEAN No. 1}. 
E believe that at last we have secured 
the ideal Green Bush Bean. This va- 
riety is the result of a careful selection 
of a type of the old Long Yellow Six Weeks, 
and has resulted in a sort, which is actually 
larger, more showy and handsome in appear- 
ance than this valuable variety, and which 
produces semi-round pods in enormous quanti- 
ties. Entirely without string or parchment. 
We cannot do better than quote the opinion 
of one of the most expert Bean growers in this 
country. He says, ‘‘This is a great improve- 
ment on any flat podded variety I have ever 
seen. The plant is as strong as Mohawk, 
though the leaves are lighter in color, the pod 
is fully one-third longer than Long Yellow Six 
Weeks. It comes into use at exactly the same 
time, and I have never yet found a pod that 
could fairly be called stringy, even when seeds 
were one-half grown.” 
We are quite confident that there is no 
Green Bush Bean on the market that can fairly 
be called its superior, and that is saying a 
good deal.

GRAND late variety of the Shropshire Hero class. The strong, healthy 
branching vines are so vigorous, that they must be planted thinly in 
order to secure best results. Its many good features have shown it to 
be worthy of addition to our list of Peas. A majority of amateur gardeners 
will always prefer a dwarf pea to a tall one, everything else being equal. The 
chief value of this sort lies in the fact that it prolongs successfully the bearing 
season of dwarf peas, and we can assure our customers that this New Pea 
No. 4, extends the succession among dwarf peas as thoroughly as the suc- 
cession now exists among tall sorts, and it will now be possible to gather 
delicious peas from the garden from either dwarf or tall varieties, right up to 
the time that Lima Beans come in. 
In addition to these remarkable qualities, it is entirely free from mildew, 
an evil so common among late peas, and is the peer of any variety for pro- 
ductiveness, while the flavor of the peas is absolutely beyond eriticism. It 
grows only to a height of 3 feet, so that it needs but little or no ‘‘ brushing.”’ 
The pod is handsome and always well filled with from 8 to 10 peas of most 
attractive color, size and flavor.
