NOVELTIES OF SPECIAL MERIT 



Keeney's New Stringless Refugee. — This bean is the result of 

 a successful cross with the well-known Refugee and Kidney Wax, 

 retaining all the hardiness, productiveness, and good qualities of 

 the former, and the delicious flavor and succulent pods of the 

 latter. Of true bush habit. The plants attain a height of eighteen 

 inches, very prolific and not subject to rust. The pods are nearly 

 round, averaging about five and one-half inches long, of a light 

 green color. They are brittle, tender, fleshy and absolutely string- 

 less at all stages of growth. Pkt. 10c; pt. 20c. qt. 35c; peck $2.50. 



Burpee's New Kidney Wax is an improved strain of Wardwell's 

 Kidney Wax, maturing at the same time, but being so much more 

 productive and the pods of larger size, they will yield more baskets 

 to a given length of row. The plants are of an erect bush habit 

 of about twenty inches in height. The foliage is entirely free from 

 blight, and the pods are free from rust, very brittle and absolutely 

 free from strings and tough fibre. The dry seed is kidney shaped 

 like Wardwells, but a little more rounded, and nearly pure white 

 in color, having only slight brownish markings around the eye. 

 Pkt. 10c; pt. 15c; pk. $2.00; bush. $8.00. 



Hardy Round Pod Rustless Wax. — This new bean, offered to 

 the trade for the first time, will become a money-maker for the 

 trucker and a favorite where ever used. The plants are of vigorous 

 growth, about eighteen inches high. The pods are round and 

 usually curved, of a rich golden yellow color, which measure from 

 six to eight inches long, very brittle and entirely stringless at all 

 stages of growth. As the name indicates they are very hardy, 

 being of Refugee parentage, are not subject to disease and rust. 

 The dry bean resembles the well-known Refugee, and whether 

 sown in spring, summer or fall invariably produce the greatest 

 abundance of handsome waxy pods. Pkt. 10c; pt. 15c; qt. 25c; 

 pck. $1.75; bush. $7.00.

GIANT PODDED POLE LIMA BEANS 



Giant-Podded Pole Lima Beans. — This is a superb new variety, 

 and for size, good quality and productiveness is unexcelled. It is 

 a main-crop variety and matures a large crop before frost. The 

 pods are of large size, measuring from seven to eight inches long 

 and one and .one-half inch broad, with from five to seven 

 large beans in the pod. The vines grow so rapidly that they quickly 

 cover the poles. In rich ground we would suggest planting only 

 two to three seeds to a hill and thinning out to one plant. The vines 

 attain a height of from ten to twelve feet and produce several lat- 

 eral branches, which bear profusely. Our supply is limited, and can 

 offer them in small quantities only. Pkg. 10c; pt. 20c; qt. 40c
