COLE'S GARDEN ANNUAL. 



Rew Sti^ingless Gi^een I^od Bean. 



This remarkable 

 new variety in our 

 trial grounds has 

 proved all the intro- 

 ducer claims for it. 

 Burpee's Stringless 

 Green Pod is the 

 only stri n g 1 e s s 

 green-pod bush bean 

 in cultivation, con- 

 sequently it sur- 

 passes all others in 

 crisp, tender flavor. 

 The illustration here- 

 with shows the 

 width and thickness 

 of the beautiful, 

 straight, green pods 

 taken from nature. 

 When we add that 

 the pods are ready 

 to market EARLIER 

 than the best stock 

 of the Early Yellow 

 Six Weeks, which, 

 as all know, is valu- 

 able only for its ex- 

 tra earliness, being 

 of inferior quality, 

 we are sure that the 

 Stringless Green 

 Pod will supply a 



long-felt want. It must prove of immense value not only to the market gardener who wants 

 to make more money, but also to the amateur who seeks a rare quality early for the home 

 table. 



Price per pkt. 10 cts., 3 pkts. 25 cts.. pt. 30 cts., qt. 60 cts., pk. $2.50. 



DAVIS KIDNEY WAX BEAN. 



This new variety comes very highly recommended. Has a large handsome pod containing 

 pure white kidney-shaped beans. The plant is vigorous, of compact, upright growth, carry- 

 ing the pods well to the center and up from the ground. In productiveness, it is astonishing, 

 and when we say the DAVIS KIDNEY WAX Avill produce a third more bushels of pods to 

 the acre, we are putting it mild. 



The pods ai-e long, straight, oval, clear, wjixy white color and handsome, often growing to 

 a length of seven to eight inches, and, when fit for use, are quite stringless and of fine 

 flavor. 



One of the main points of superiority over other sorts is its extreme hardiness and ship- 

 ping qualities. Another good point of merit i s the plants produce a very small portion of 

 waste or second quality pods. 



There is nothing we can so highly recommend for market gardeners' and canners' use; and 

 in conclusion may say, that this new Bean is bound to become the most popular and stand- 

 ard wax sort. • 



The larg:est cropper, the handsomest pod, the hest shipper and market Bean 

 in cnltivation. 



Price per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 25 cts.. qt. 45 cts , pk. .$1.50. bu. J?5.00. 



NEW VALENTINE WAX BEAN. 



Everyone knows what a fine Bean the green-podded Valentine is. and, if we say that thi,«: 

 is like it in quality, earliness and productiveness and that it has pods of a handsome yellow 

 color, it will at once be recognized as one of the most valuable additions to the Bean family. 

 It is without exception the earliest Wax Bean, being even earlier than Refugee Wax. The 

 pods are very meaty, and with so very little string that they may justly be called stringless. 

 It is remarkably free from rust and remains a long time without becoming tough. 



Price per pkt. 5 cts., pt. 25 cts., qt. 45 cts., pk. $1..50, bu. $5.00.
