Keeney's New Stringless Green Pod Refugee 



The Coming Green Podded Bush Bean for the 

 Canner, Home Garden or Market 



For more than 20 years the originator of this variety has 

 been working to eliminate the string of the old Thousand to 

 One Green Pod Refugee. In this new bean he has suc- 

 ceeded, and I am glad to be able to ofler my customers this 

 Stringless Refugee. Its habit of growth, i:iod aud seed are prac- 

 tically the same as the old Thousand to One Refugee, but 

 maturing its beans a few days earlier. Very productive; 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 perfectly stringless at all stages 

 of their growth. Its quality is superfine; for commercial can- 

 ning 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 gar- 

 den Keeney's Refugee bean will be found very desirable and 

 for the shipper it has no equal. Keeney's New Stringless 

 Refugee is just what has been wanted by my market gar- 

 dener friends, especially in the South, as it is a very hesLVj 

 cropper and an excellent shipper.
