GIANT PODDED STRINGLESS 
VALENTINE BUSH BEAN. 
This is an exceptionally good, green podded 
variety, with truly giant pods, which further- 
more are always Sstringless. The introducer 
claims it is a week earlier than any other 
Strain, that it has more pods, that pods area 
third larger and more perfectly round and full, 
that it is absolutely stringless and that it sur- 
asec all competitors in crispness and flavor. 
y Own experience with it at Briar Crest was 
very Satisfactory, and I was deeply impressed 
with its good quality and general availability. 
It is undoubtedly early, of excellent flavor, 
Stringless, and pods unusually long and hand- 
some. I think the introducer, however, has 
made a mistake in attaching the word Valen- 
tine to this bean; simply Giant Pod Stringless 
would be much better. I have found out that it 
has no Valentine blood init whatever. I would 
like to hear from those of my customers plant- 
ing Stringless Green Pod offered on the preced- 
ing page, and this bean, as to which they con- 
sider the best. Some seedsmen recommend 
one, some the other; but I would be glad to 
have the unprejudiced opinion of my customers 
planting both varieties this season. Packet, 
10 cents; gat 20 cents; quart, 35 cents, postpaid.

NEW GOLDEN 
LAZY WIVES. 
NEW GOLDEN LAZY WIVES 
POLE BEAN. 
This new variety is a beautiful yellow or wax 
form ofthe favorite and famous Lazy Wives 
pole bean, and you cannot possibly make a 
mistake by including it in your order. This 
new bean has all the good points of its cele- 
brated green-podded ancestor, including its 
great productive ability, with the additional 
advantage of being four or five days earlier. 
The pods are broad, fleshy and stringless, re- 
taining their tender qualities until about ripe, 
making perfect snap shorts. The vine is a na- 
tural climber, needing no help to get up the 
poles and always clinging close to them, and 
bearing freely all summer. Nothing can ex- 
ceed the productiveness of the Lazy Wives 
Beans, both green podded and wax podded. 
The pods of the wax variety are rather flat in 
Shape, and when fully grown are 6 to8 inches 
long. When cooked they are rich and buttery. 
This new pole bean recommends itself so well 
that I have never had sufficient seed to meet the 
demand for it. Last year I had again to decline | 
late orders for quantities over a packet although 
I thought I had plenty togoround. This year 
I can offer it only by the packet. Packet, 15 cts.

i THE ‘‘NOXALL””” 
\ POLE BEAN. 
NOXALL POLE BEAN, 
New Prolific Green Podded. 
I first offered this new pole bean last year 
under the descriptive name of Prolific Green £ 
Podded. My offer of {50 for a better name was 5 
secured by Wesley C. Richards, Carleton, Mich., 
who suggested the name selected. Mr. Richards 
says of thisbean: “It issuperb in quality when 
cooked which is the greatest consideration in a 
pole bean. It is an abundant bearer and early 
which are important. It remains long in bear- 
ing, right on till killed by frost, our vines having 
many pods on Oct. Ist, and would have been 
loaded but we ate them as fast as fit, in fact it 
knocks out all pole beans of all kinds to date as 
a string bean and I name it the “Noxall” Pole 
Bean.” This Bean is new to my customers, but 
not new toits friends. Fora period of 60 years it 
has been grown in one family to the exclusion s ~ 
of all other pole beans. Some 18 or 20 years " } 
ago one of my growers married into this family y 
and in addition to securing a wife, also secured = 
a few of these beans, with which he was very @ 
much pleased. Being a practical seed grower, & 
he immediately started to improve the bean, & ; 
and changed its character from a flat podded'S 
variety to a first class round podded sort Ee NES: 
Now this bean is one of the most prolificofall p 
pole beans. It is also a very sure cropper, evel 
in bad seasons giving large crops, when othe 
sorts have been an entire failure. 
years history in the family spoken of above it 
has not madea single failure. Pods are long. 
large and tender; exceptionally good eithe 
for green, Snap or shelled beans. Pkt., 10 cts, 
pt., 30 cts.; qt., 50 cts., postpaid. Peck, $2.00.
