SURE-CROP STRINGEESS 

 WAX BEAN. 



A valuable new variety of Dwarf Wax Bean, which, while 

 ooL related to the well-known Currie's Rust-proof Wax, bears a 

 great resemblance to it in plant, pod and bean, but is entirely 

 different in quality, as it is stringless and tender at all stages of 

 its development The plant grows to a medium size, and, having 

 X strong, thick stem, stands up well even during a long season 

 oi stormy weather, thus protecting the pods from dirt and 

 dampness. It is very productive, bearing large, handsome 

 golden-yellow pods in great abundance, and, being very hardy, 

 the seed may be planted early. "Sure-crop" is more rust- 

 proof and will stand a longer season of damp, wet weather than 

 *n> other wax bean we know of Pkt., 10 cts. ; pt,, 30 cts.

KEENEY»S STRINGI.ESS 



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 "Strinrjless 

 Refugee" which is an improvement in every way over all other 

 strains of this variety. The plant grows to a large size and is 

 inormously productive, one plant having borne 56 well-developed 

 pods and 16 small ones, and had the earlier pods been picked 

 »s soon as suitable for use this plant would doubtless have pro- 

 duced over 100 good pods. The shape of pod is round, size 

 medium to long, slightly curved, medium green in color and very 

 brittle, remaining so until nearly old enough to shell. Pkt., 10 

 tts.; pt, 30 cts. (postpaid, 38cts. ); qt., 50 cts. (postpaid, (i5 

 cts.); 4 qts., $1.50; peck, $2.75.

MARKET SURPRISE PEA. 



This new early Pea was first sent to us by a leading seec 

 grower in England, and in a careful test, made at our tria 

 grounds, we found it to be a valuable addition to the early varie 

 ties and well adapted for use of both amateurs and marke 

 gardeners. The plant grows to a height of 30 inches, and i:. 

 very thrifty, producing the pods in surprisingly large quantities 

 Pods are large and well filled with Peas, which are remarkabh 

 sweet and fine flavored. This new variety matures the crop it 

 sixty-five days, and is excellent for early planting. Pkt., IC 

 cts.; pt, 35 cts. (postpaid, 43 cts,); qt,, 65 cts, (postpaid, M
