BEANS--Green Pod Snap Varieties Continued 



Hodson Long Green Pod (New).— This variety Is not 

 affected by rust or blight; mature about 2 weeks later 

 than the earliest dwarf varieties. The plant is of great 

 size, often attaining a height of 2% ft. and bearing great 

 quantities of long round meaty pods, measuring 7-8 

 inches in length. The plants should be thinned out to at 

 least 6 inches apart in the rows on account of their size. 

 The pods are exceptionally tender and stringless if picked 

 when young. Qrt. 25c; peck $1.50; bus. $5.50. 



Refugee, or Thousand to One. — Maturing later than 

 Extra Early Refugee, with larger foliage; very prolific. 

 Qt 20c. ; pk. $i.oo; bush. $3.75. 



Best of All. — Pods flat, long, very fleshy, succulent, 

 stringless; are produced early and abundantly. Qt. 20c; 

 pk. $1.00; bush. $3.50. 



Dwarf Horticultural. — Vines very productive, compact, 

 upright, with large leaves. Pods medium length, cylin- 

 drical, curved, with splashes of bright red on a yellowish 

 ground. They become fit for use as green shelled beans 

 very early, and in this condition the beans are very large, 

 easily shelled and are about equal to the Lima in quality, 

 although of quite different form. Seed large, oval, plump 

 and nearly covered with splashes of bright red. Qrt. 20c; 

 pk. $1.10; bush. $4.00. 



Improved Goddard.— Vines large, much branched, erect, 

 forming a large bush; leaflets large, crimped, bright 

 green; pods large, long, flat, usually curved, with long, 

 curved points; green when young, but as the beans be- 

 come fit for use are splashed and striped with crimson. 

 Green beans very large, splashed with red and of fine 

 quality. Seed marked like Dwarf Horticultural and of 

 the same color, but longer and much larger, making them 

 more desirable for market use. Qrt. 20c; pk. S1.25 - 

 bush. $4.00. 



Varieties for Use as Shell Beans 



These are grown in large quantities for the winter 

 market. They should be planted in rows 3% to 4 feet 

 apart for horse cultivation, dropping 3 or 4 seeds in hills 

 one foot apart in the row. When pods ripen the plants 

 may be pulled up on a clear day, well dried and stored in 

 a barn for threshing when convenient. 



White Marrowfat. — This is the standard variety grown 

 for white soup beans. The plants are semi-running in 

 habit, two feet in height and very productive. Beana of 

 good size, slightly oval, and quite thick through. Qt. 

 15c; peck 75c; bush. $2.75. 



White Kidney Royal Dwarf. — An excellent shelled bean, 

 green or ripe. One of the best for winter use. Seeds 

 large, white, kidney-shaped. Qt. 20c; peck S1.00' - 

 bush. $3.50. 



WAX-POD VARIETIES 



The Wax-Podded Beans are highly esteemed for their 

 mild flavor and handsome appearance, and by many the 

 lighter coloring, when prepared for the table, is pre- 

 ferred. Nearly all the varieties are valuable also for use 

 as Winter Shell-Beans, but are not so productive as other 

 varieties offered on this page especially for that purpose. 

 Being more tender than the green-podded sort, they 

 should not be planted until the trees are well out in leaf 

 and the nights quite warm. If planted too early, the 

 growth becomes checked, and the pods are smaller and 

 not so fine in appearance.

(New) Hodson Wax. — In 



growth of vine and foliage 

 this is by far the most vigorous of any dwarf wax podded 

 bean yet introduced and the yield of large, handsome 

 pods is enormous. Its dense foliage so completely pro- 

 tects the pods that their color is an unusually clear 

 creamy white. Pods very long, straight or slightly 

 curved, flat but fleshy, quite stringless and of very good 

 quality. While late in maturing the remarkable vigor of 

 the plant is an effectual safeguard against blight and 

 other bean diseases, so that a very heavy yield is assured 

 even under conditions so unfavorable as to cause a total 

 failure in some other varieties. Seed long, cylindrical, 

 uniform in shape; color light yellowish brown, heavily 

 splashed with dull crimson. Qt. 20c; pk. $1.25; bush. $4.50. 



Currier's Rustproof Golden Wax.— This variety Is one 

 of the best Beans ever introduced, very productive, with 

 long flat pods, fully one-third larger than any other sort; 

 earlier than any other Wax Bean known. Qt. 20c; peck 

 $1.25; bush. $4.50. 



Golden Wax. — Very early, tender and prolific. Pods 

 large, creamy yellow and stringless. Qt. 20c; peck $1.25: 

 bush. $4.50. 



Wardwell's Kidney 'Wax. — Strong, upright bush growth, 

 15 inches in height, very productive. Pods straight, 

 fleshy, 5 inches in length, one-half inch broad. A rich 

 golden yellow, brittle and entirely stringless, even when 

 fully developed, of mild flavor. Qt. 20c; peck, $1.25; 

 bush. $4.50. 



Davis' Kidney Wax.— This plant is a vigorous grower, 

 carrying the pods well up from the ground. It will pro- 

 duce at least one-third more bushels of pods to the acre 

 than most other Wax Beans. The pods are long, straight, 

 oval, of clear waxy-white color, and handsome, often 

 growing to a length of 7 to 8 inches, stringless and of 

 fine flavor. Qt. 20c; peck $1.25; bush. $4.50. 



New Round-Pod Kidney Wax. — A striking acquisition 

 has been obtained in the list of Wax Beans through the 

 introduction of this variety. Up until now there has been 

 no round-podded Wax Bean possessing the excellent 

 market and shipping qualities of the well-known War- 

 dell's Kidney Wax. The plant grows tall and strong, with 

 long round handsome pods of a rich golden color, which 

 are entirely stringless, and remain in a good marketable 

 condition longer than any known. As a snap brand it ex- 

 cels all others in tenderness and richness of flavor. It 

 has proven to be free from rust, very early and prolific. 

 The best wax bean for market gardeners and shippers. 

 Qt. 25c; pk. $1.50; bush. $5.00.
