KEENEY'S STRINGLESS GREEN POD REFUGEE BEAN. 



20 Keeney's Stringless Green 

 Pod Refugee 



For many years the originator of this grand bush bean has 

 been working to eliminate the string of the old Thousand to 

 One Green Pod Refugee. In this bean he has succeeded. Its 

 habit of growth, pod and seed are practically the same as the 

 old Thousand to One Refugee, but maturing its beans a few 

 days earlier. Very i^roductive; of true bush form; attains a 

 height of eighteen inches. The handsome, round, green pods 

 average about 5 inches long and are brittle, tender, fleshy and 

 l^erfectly stringless at all stages of their growth. Its quality 

 is superfine; for commercial canning it is unequaled, as the 

 tender, green pods retain their beautiful green color, and 

 being entirely stringless, makes it far superior to any other 

 variety. For home or market garden, Keeney's Stringless 

 Green Pod Refugee bean will be found very desirable and for 

 the shipper it has no equal. 



Packet, 10 cents; pint, 30 cents; quart, 55 cents, postpaid. By express or 

 freight, not prepaid, qt., 40 cts.; 4 qts., $1.50; peck, $2.75; bushel, $10.00. 



The Keeney's Stringless Green Pod Refugee Beans you sent me last 

 spring are simply delicious. I shall want more next year.
