Culture. — Beans are somewhat tender, but it often pays to take some risks. Plant in warm, loamy soil at the beginning of 

 settled warm weather in spring, and at intervals for succession until August. Rows may be made 2 feet apart, and the Beans 

 planted a few inches apart in the drills, or 3 or 4 Beans in hills 6 to 8 inches apart. Cultivate and hoe frequently, always how- 

 ever, when the vines are perfectly dry. In hoeing draw the soil up towards the rows or plants. For string Beans gather the 

 pods clean as soon as fit for use.

 riasterpiece, for Forcing. (See Specialties, page 4.) 

 xVIammoth Stringless Qreen Pod. (See cut.) This ex- 

 cellent variety matures its crop among the earliest of the green- 

 podded sorts, and produces large, handsome pods, some of 

 which measure 6 inches in length, and are of the finest quality. 

 The plants are productive, bearing pods which are perfectly 

 round, very fleshy and entirely stringless. This variety is 

 particularly adapted to the home garden on account of its 

 productiveness and good quality. By express or freight, at 

 purchaser's expense, lb., 35 cts.; 2 lbs., 60 cts. (if by Parcel 

 Post add as stated at top of page); 10 lbs., $2.50. 



Stringless Green Pod (Burpee's). This variety has be- 

 come very popular because of its hardiness and productive- 

 ness. It is stringless, ripens earlier than Valentine and 

 remains tender and crisp a long time after maturity! Pods 

 are pale green, long and straight, round, meaty and of excel- 

 lent flavor. The plants have a spreading habit of growth, 

 and produce large quantities of pods which are very uniform 

 both in size and shape. By express or freight, at purchaser's 

 expense, lb., 35 cts.; 2 lbs., 60 cts. (if by Parcel Post add 

 as stated at top of page); 10 lbs., $2.50. 



Improved Extra Early Red Valentine. A standard 

 variety, extra early, and bears pods which sre round, long, 

 slightly curved and of excellent quality. There has been 

 much work done on this variety by seed growers during past 

 years, and this old standard has been so much improved that 

 it still ranks among the best of the green pods and is one of 

 the most profitable sorts for private use or market. By ex- 

 press or freight, at purchaser's expense, lb., 30 cts.; 2 lbs., 

 55 cts. (if by Parcel Post add as stated at top of page); 10 

 lbs., $2.25.

 pods of medium size, round, light green and of good quality. 

 By express or freight, at purchaser's expense, lb., 30 cts.; 

 2 lbs., 55 cts. (if by Parcel Post add as stated at top of page); 

 10 lbs., $2.25.

 for market. Being very hardy it may be planted earlier than 

 other varieties of Beans, as it withstands considerable cold 

 damp weather. The plants make a stiong growth and pro- 

 duce a heavy crop of pods, which are dark green in color,
