"Extra Early Refugee.— The earliest of the green-podded 

 kinds, furnishing a fleshy pod of fine quality. The vines 

 are a little smaller and more upright growing and the leaves 

 distinctly lighter colored than those of the L,ate Refugee, 

 though the dry beans are of the same shape and color. Qt., 

 15c; peck, 90c; bush., $3.00. 



Refugee, or Thousand to One. — Maturing later than 

 Extra Early Refugee, with larger foliage; very prolific, 

 Qt., 15.; peck, 90c; bush., $3.00. 



Dwarf Horticultural, or Cherry.— Pods are of medium 

 length, slightly curved or sickle-shaped, and when nearly 

 developed are freely splashed with bright red on the skin. 

 It is one of the best varieties to grow for green shell-beans 

 in cool locations where the Limas do not succeed. The 

 green beans are of good size, tender and of fine flavor; 

 they are highly esteemed when cooked with sweet corn as 

 Succotash. The surplus beans not needed for use during 

 the summer make excellent soup or baking beans for 

 winter. Qt. 20c; peck, $1.10; bush., $4.00. 



Best of AIL— Pods long, very fleshy, succulent, string- 

 less and rich in flavor; are produced early and abundantly; 

 one of the most valuable green-podded beans for market or 

 family use. Qt., 15c; peck, 90c; bush, $3.00. 



The Goddard, or Boston Favorite. — Tall bush or semi- 

 running growth, eighteen inches to two feet in height, 

 producing a large crop of pods. These are flat, five inches 

 in length, one-half inch broad, with a long, slender point. 

 The pods when young are excellent for using as short snap, 

 being brittle, juicy, mild in flavor and nearly stringless. 

 For winter use the pods should be allowed to ripen on the 

 plants. As the pods attain full size they become thickly 

 marked with purplish flakes. Qt., 20c; peck, $1.15; bush., 

 $4.00. 



Wax=Pod Varieties. 



The Wax-Podded Beans are highly esteemed for their mild flavor 

 and handsome appearence, and by many the lighter coloring, when 

 prepared for the table, is preferred. Nearly all the varities 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. Beingtnore 

 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. 



r<EENEYblRUSTLESS 

 GOLDEN I WAX. 



Strong grower with remark- 

 able vigor and freedom from 

 rust. Pods meaty and well 

 filled, semi-round; rich yel- 

 low, fine quality, and entirely 

 stringless, even when large 

 enough to shell. If pods are picked as fast as formed the plant is 

 practically overbearing until frost. Qt., 20c; pecK, $1.50; bush., $5. 



New Round-Pod Kidney Wax. — a striking acquisition 

 has been obtained in the list of Wax Beans through the 

 introduction of this variety. Up till now there has been no 

 round-podded Wax Bean possessing the excellent market 

 and shipping qualities of the well-known Wardwell's Kid- 

 ney 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 long- 

 er than any known. As a snap brand it excels all others in 

 tenderness and richness of flavor. It has proved to be free 

 from rust, very early and prolific. The best wax bean for 

 market gardeners and shippers. Qt.,20c; pk. $1.25; bush., 

 $4.50. 



Pencil Pod Wax. — An extremely good new Bean, be- 

 ing very early, very prolific and of excellent flavor. The pods 

 are from five to six inches long, thick, fleshy, as round as a 

 pencil and absolutely stringless. A beauty in shape and 

 color of the true waxy type. We call it the "Seek-no 

 further" of all Wax Beans. Qt., 20c; peck, $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., $4.00. 



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

 creamy yellow and stringless. Qt., 20c; peck, $1.25; bush, $5 



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 

 vellow, brittle and entirely stringless, even when fully de- 

 veloped, 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 produce 

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

 other Wax Bean. 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., 

 25c; peck., $1.15; 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 l A to 4 feet apart for horse cultivation, drop- 

 ping 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. Beans 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, $1.00; bush., $3.50.
