BEANS— Dwarf or Bush 



Wax or Yellow-Pod Varieties 



79 Round Pod Kidney, or Brittle Wax. A fine early 

 Bean of very high quality and one that we can unhesitatingly 

 recommend. The pods grow up to six inches long and are 

 thick, perfectly round, and of a clear yellow color. So brittle 

 and stringless are the pods that the variety is often called for 

 under the name of Brittle Wax. Pkt, 10 cts. ; § lb., 25 cts. ; 

 lb., 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 75 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.75, prepaid. 



84 Sure Crop Stringless Wax. Much resembles Bountiful 

 in the sturdy character and disease resistant constitution of 

 its plants. It starts bearing within 60 days after seeds are 

 sown. The pods average 6 to 7 inches long, are very meaty, 

 flat but thick through, and in common with most black- 

 seeded varieties, is very hardy and may therefore be planted 

 several da3's earlier than the light-seeded sorts. Pkt., 10 

 cts.; | lb., 25 cts.; lb., 40 cts.; 2 lbs., 75 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.75, 

 prepaid. 



8 6 Unrivaled Wax. Ready for gathering within 65 days after 

 seeds are sown. A robust grower, it withstands considerable 

 rainy weather. The pods are light yellow in color, long, flat, 

 slightly curved at the end, very fleshy, tender and of excellent 

 quality. Pkt., 10 cts.; Jib., 25 cts.;lb., 40 cts.; 21bs., 75 cts.;

 qualities. Long, flat pods of a delicate waxy yellow; string- 

 less and brittle. Pkt., 10 cts.; | lb., 25 cts.; lb., 35 cts.;

DWARF SHELL BEANS 



Culture —These are grown to maturity, dried, shelled, and stored for winter 

 use, being used exclusively for baking and for soups. Superior in every way to 

 canned beans. No garden should be without a few rows of these every year. 

 Plant when ground is warm in spring and up to July 1st, in rows 2 feet apart 

 and beans 3 inches apart, 1J inches deep. Keep well hoed and draw the earth 

 up to the stems, but only when dry, as working when wet with rain or dew will 

 cause rust and injure the crop.

BEANS— POLE or RUNNING 



Culture— In common with Pole Limas (see culture directions on page 12), 

 these are rank growers and consequently rank feeders. Do not attempt to grow 

 Pole Beans on poor, thin soil, but enrich the hills well with liberal quantities of 

 well-rotted manure or humus. One pound will plant 100 hills. 



Green Pod Varieties 



128 Kentucky Wonder or Old Homestead. Combines size and 

 quality in an extraordinary degree. Pods are generally borne in clusters 

 of 2 or 4, individual pods averaging 7 or 8 inches long. They are deeply 

 saddle backed, very fleshy and develop a slight string. Kentucky 

 Wonder matures the bulk of its crop in from 80 to 100 days. Where 

 poles are not available, wire or heavy string supports should be pro- 

 vided since the vines are rank growers, bearing exceptionally heavy 

 crops. Pkt., 10 cts.; -Hb., 25 cts.; lb., 35 cts.; 2 lbs., 70 cts.; 5 lbs., $1.65, 

 prepaid. 



1 29 Lazy Wife's. A late variety, excellent for snap-shorts or shelled.
