No. 29. White Seed Kentucky Wonder (Pole). 



Days to Maturity, 70. The original Kentucky Wonder 

 was of a mottled, olive-tlrab. This strain was introduced by 

 Gregory in 1877. Old Homestead was a common sjTionym. 

 The White Seeded Kentucky Wonder is a later intro- 

 duction, and has proven to be more satisfactory for gen- 

 eral purposes as a green-podded climbing bean. Although 

 somewhat susceptible to disease, the bean is early, pro- 

 ductive and grown very extensively, especiallj^ in the Mid- 

 West. The snap pods will average about seven inches in 

 length, being very slender, decidedly curved, round, 

 creased-back and eight to ten seeded. They are only 

 slightly stringy and of a medium green color. The flesh 

 is tender, brittle and moderately fine grained. The bean 

 is of good quality, but is not overly attractive. In the 

 green-shelled pod state, the pod is much constricted be- 

 tween each bean. The dried beans are white. 



Pkt. 100, lb. 400, 5 lbs. $1.75, postpaid; by express, 

 5 lbs. or more, 300 per lb., 60 lbs. (1 bu.) $18.00.
