KEENEY'S STRINGEESS 



REFUGEE BEAN. 



The originator of this new strain of Green -pod Refugee has 

 been working for more than twenty years to get the string out of 

 the old Thousand-to-one Refugee Bean, and has succeeded 

 in eliminating it entirely, having produced a " Stringless Refu- 

 gee." which is an improvement in every way 

 over all other strains of this variety. The plant 

 grows to a large size and is enormously pro- 

 ductive, one plant having borne 56 well-devel- 

 oped pods and 16 small ones, and had the 

 earlier pods been picked as soon as suitable for 

 use this plant would doubtless have produced 

 over 100 good pods. The shape of pod is 

 round, size medium to long, slightly curved, 

 medium green in color and very brittle, remain- 

 ing so until nearly old enough to shell. Pkt., 

 10 cts. ; pt., 25 cts. (postpaid, 33 cts. ); qt., 40 

 cts. (postpaid, 55 cts.); 4 qts., $1.25; peck, 

 $2.25. 



DREER'S "WONDER" 



BUSH LIMA BEAN. 



This variety of Bush Lima Bean is the most 

 valuable of all, being earlier, more productive, 

 and having the dwarf or bush type more thor- 

 oughly fixed. We have repeatedly made com- 

 parative tests with it planted alongside the other 

 Bush Limas, and it has always been ready for 

 picking much in advance of the others. It was 

 first introduced by us in 1898, and is an im- 

 provement on the Burpee Bush Lima, being 

 earlier and growing absolutely in the bush form. 

 The plants are of strong, upright growth, and 

 are completely covered with large pods, many of 

 which contain four beans, which are fully as 

 large as the pole limas. The beans are flat in 

 shape and of excellent quality. Pkt., 10 cts.; 

 pt., 25 cts. (postpaid, 33 cts.); qt. , 40 cts. 

 (postpaid, 55 cts.); 4 qts., $1.25; peck, $2.25. 



KENTUCKY WONDER 



WAX POEE BEAN. 



A yellow-podded "Kentucky Wonder," 

 which bears a large quantity of rich, golden- 

 yellow pods from the time the plant is about 

 half-grown until it is killed by frost in the fall. 

 The plant makes a quick, healthy growth, and, 

 like "Kentucky Wonder," it is exceedingly 

 productive, bearing large pods, which are 

 thick, meaty, stringless, very tender, and have a 

 fine flavor when cooked. Pkt., 10 cts.; pt., 25 

 cts. (postpaid, 33 cts.); qt., 40 cts. (postpaid, 

 55 Us.; 4 qts., $1.25; peck, $2.25. 



EAREY MODEE BEET. 



For sowing in the kitchen garden, or forcing under glass, this 

 early Beet will prove satisfactory. It is a fine selection of blood- 

 red Beet, extremely smooth and of symmetrical growth. Color 

 rich dark red, very fine quality, tender and free from coarseness. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 20 cts.; \ lb., 60 cts.; lb., $2.00.
