THE LOVETT COMFAiVY. 



BUSH BEANS. 



Buschbohnen, G-er. Haricot Xain, Fr. 



One quart will plant one hundred feet of drill. 



As these varieties are rather tender they should not be planted until the ground is warm. Plant two inches 

 deep in rov»-s two feet apart, and about thi^ee inches apart in the rows. Keep well hoecl drawing the earth well 

 up to the stems, but do not hoe irhen pkints ore wet or damp, as it will cause them to rust and injm-e the crop. 

 Plant every two weeks for a succession, finishing about August 15th, 



Green Podded Beans. 



Early i>ioiiawk. So hardy that it 

 can be planted with safety much ear. 

 lier than the other varieties, thus fm- 

 nishing beans fit for use in advance of 

 any other variety. Large strong plant 

 with coarse foliage and long, straight 

 pods. Pkt., 5c; pt., 20c; qt., -iOc. 



Early Red Valentine. The earhest, 

 and undoubtedly the most popular of 

 all the green snap-short beans. The 

 vine is dwarf ; the pods smooth, roimd 

 and sti'ingless; very thickly set, re- 

 maining gi'een and tender a long time 

 after fit to pull. Matiu'e in from thir- 

 ty-five to forty days from time of 

 planting; enormously productive. 

 Pkt., 5c; pt, 20c; qt., 40c. 



Refug^ee or 1000 to 1. A very pro- 

 ductive medium or late variety. The 

 yoimg pods ai'e tender and of rich 

 flavor. Extensively grown for pick- 

 ling, pkt., 5c: pt., 20c; qt.. 40c. 



Low's Champion, J^ew and of gi-eat 

 merit. The pods are large, tender, 

 and perfectly stringless. It is espe- 

 cially fine for shelled beans by reason 

 of its very rich flavor. Pkt., 5c; pt.^ 

 20c; qt., 40c. 



REFUGEE WAX. 



Yellow Podded Beans. 



Refugee Wax. This new variety is one of the earliest 

 beans grown; very productive and continues in bearing 

 for a long period. It is suitable for either early or late 

 sowing, for vv^et or dry seasons ; it is practically rust- 

 proof and withstands di'outh effectually. A valuable 

 characteristic of this variety for the market gardener, 

 is the fact of its keeping so long in a tender condition 

 without becoming tough or stringy. It is excellent for 

 pickling purposes, and should have a prominent place 

 in every garden. Pkt., 5c; pt., 25c; qt.. 45c. 



Wardwell's Kidney Wax. A very hardy variety and 

 more robust than is usual for a wax bean. It produces 

 a heavy yield of long, flat, showy pods entirely free 

 from rust. They are of good quality and attractive 

 appearance, commanding a ready sale in market. Vines 

 exceedingly vigorous, hardy and productive. This is 

 greatly superior to the well kno^m German Wax Bean. 

 Pkt., 5c; pt., 25c; qt., 45c. 



Everbearing Wax. A valuable acqiusition introduced 

 by Thomas Gi iswold, the well kno"wn seed grower. The 

 pods are thick, fleshy and entii'ely stiingless, six to 

 seven inches in length, and exceedingly rich, buttery 

 and fine flavored. Its gTeatest value, however, lies in 

 its everbearing character, coming into bearing early 

 and producing an abundance of pods during the entii'e 

 season. OTvdng to the branching habit of the plant it 

 should be planted at least eight inches apart in the row. 

 Pkt., 5c; pt., 35c; qt., 60c. 



Yosemite I^lammoth Wax. We predict that this will 

 lead all others as soon as its good quahties become fuUy 

 known. The pods are of a rich golden color, and abso- 

 lutely stringless ; frequently tvelve to f om'teen inches 

 long, as thick as a finger, and nearly all solid prJp. The 

 plant is so large and vigorous that it should be planted 

 much farther apart than is usual for beans. Enor- 

 mously productive. Pkt., 5c; pt., 35c; qt., 60c; 



Golden Wax. A strong-growing, distinct variety, 

 very early and prolific, bearing an abundance of large. 

 weli-fiUed pods, which are long, brittle, and entii'ely 

 stringless. As a snap bean it is exceedingly tender, 

 vv-ith a rich flavor: altogether a most desirable sort. 

 Pkt.. 5c; pt.. 25c: qt.. 40c. 



Black Wax. An old favorite: very fine flavor; very 

 prohfic. Pkt.. 5c: pt.. 25c: qt.. 40c. 



For Winter Use. 



Boston Pea Bean. This class of bean shovdd be much 

 more largely grown than it now is. on accoimt of its 

 compaiatively easy cultui'e. and the fact that it paj'S 

 better than most of the field crops. This variety is a 

 heavy cropper and ripens early; long before there is 

 any danger from frosts. Pkt., 5c; pt., 25c; qt., 40. 



Prolific Tree Bean. A valuable sort for field cultm-e. 

 The beans are round, very white, and cook evenly and 

 quickly. Enormously productive, having yielded over 

 one hundred bushels to the acre. Pkt., 5c; pt., 25c; 

 qt., 40c,
