MASTERPIECE BEAN 

 FOR FORCING 



This variety originated in England, where special attention is given 

 to growing Beans in the greenhouse, and it is the most valuable sort 

 for that purpose. The plant makes a healthy growth and produces 

 an abundant cropof large green pods, which are remarkably straight, 

 broad, thick and of excellent quality. It is a fast grower and ma- 

 tures the crop at an early season. Pkt., 10 cts., by mail. By express 

 or freight, at purchaser's expense, lb., $1.00; 2 lbs., $1.75. (If 

 wanted by Parcel Post add as stated on page 12); 10 lbs., $8.00. 



FORDHOOK BUSH LIMA BEAN 



This splendid variety of Bush Lima Bean is more desirable for the 

 home garden than any other, as it is not only a good cropper, but 

 the beans grow to a mammoth size, much larger and thicker through 

 than other varieties now on the market. It is a perfected form of 

 the old Dreer's Bush Lima which variety it resembles in form of pod 

 and shape of the bean, but 

 both are much larger and 

 the plant makes a strong 

 upright growth which pro- 

 tectsthe pod fromcoming in 

 contact with the soil, thus 

 preventing rust and rot. 

 It produces many large 

 pods in clusters and each 

 pod is well filled with 

 large luscious beans, which 

 are very thick through and 

 of excellent flavor. It is 

 grown to a very great ex- 

 tent by market gardeners, 

 not only on account of its 

 great productiveness, but 

 also because their customers 

 call for it in market. Pkt. , 

 10 cts., by mail. By ex- 

 press or freight, at pur- 

 chaser's expense, lb,, 50 

 cts.; 2 lbs., 90 cts. (If 

 wanted by Parcel Post, 

 add as stated on page 12) ; 

 10 lbs., $4.00. 



SURE-CROP STRINGI.ESS l^AX BEAN 



A valuable variety of Dwarf Wax Bean which, while not 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 develop- 

 ment. The plant grows to a medium size, and, having a strong, thick stem, stands up 

 well even during a long season of 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 any other 

 wax bean we know of Pkt., 10 cts., by mail. By express or freight, at purchaser's 

 expense, lb., 40 ct;. ; 2 lbs., 70 cts. (if wanted by Parcel Post, add as stated on page 

 12); 10 lbs., $3.00. 



KEENEY'S SXRINGEESS REFUGEE BEAN 



The originator of this excellent 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 &" Stringless Refugee, 

 which is an improvement in every way over all other strains of this variety. The plant 

 grows to a large size and is enormously productive, one plant having borne 56 well-de- 

 veloped pods and 16 small ones, and had the earlier pods been picked as soon as suit- 

 able 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, remaining so until nearly old enough to shell. Pkt., 10 cts., by mail. By ex- 

 press or freight, at purchaser's expense, lb., 35 cts.; 2 lbs., 60 cts. (if wanted by Par- 

 cel Post, add as stated on page 12); 10 lbs., $2.50.
