SEEDS AND IMPLEMENTS. 



DWARF OR BUSH BEANS, 



GREEN-PODDED VARIETIES. 

 DWARF BEAN CULTURE. 



Dwarf Beans may not be safely planted until the middle of April owing to the late frost, but may 

 be planted thereafter as desired, until the middle of August. 



Select high rich soil, make drills two feet apart, drop beans along the rows and cover with earth. 

 Hoe often and keep earth to the stems. 



Early Mokawk Six Weeks.— This is a long, flat-podded and very productive variety, 

 withstanding a greater degree of frost and cold weather than any other variety, and on that account 

 is preferred and selected for first planting ; is also an excellent variety for pickling, for which pur- 

 pose it should be planted about the last of August. Pint 15c. Quart 20c. Peck $1.00. Bu. $4.00. 



Early Yellow Long Six Weeks. — In growth and maturity is very similar to the 

 Mohawk and is a very popular variety in the South, pods long and flat, very productive and ripens 

 about the same time. Pint 15c. Quart 20c. Peck $1 00. Bu. $4.00. 



Early Round-PodlledValentine. — Is the favorite sort for growers who supply the early 

 markets, because its growth is so rapid, and because it stands shipment perfectly. Canners use them 

 for their packing because they are stringless and always tender, besides having beautiful round pods. 

 It is a heavy cropper, and ready to pick in about forty days. Pint 10c. Quart 20c. Peck $1.00. 

 Bu. $3 50. 



Stringless Green Pod. — This new bean produces a vine similar to Red Valentine, but 

 develops pods to edible condition two or three days earlier than Valentine, that is to say in thirty to 

 thirty-one days from germination, which extraordinary maturity for table at once advances the 

 Stringless Green Pod to the first rank among table beans. The pods are green, not quite so round 

 as Valentine and less curved. The pods are stringless — absolutely so — this quality at once placing 

 the variety at the top of the list among table beans. While the early maturity is of great merit, this 

 stringless quality is of particular value, the pods breaking as short and free as pipe stems. Pint 15c.

Refugee, or 1,000 to 1. — The standard late pickling variety ; matures two weeks later

Dwarf Horticultural, or Dwarf Cherry. — A splendid bean for use on the table as a 

 snap bean or for winter use. It is large, meaty and meets the requirements of the market, the table 

 and shipper. Pint 15c. Quart 25c. Peck $1.25. Bu. $4.50. 



BUSH BEANS. 



WAX PODDED VARIETIES. 



Davis Kidney Wax.— A new variety introduce*! 1897 season. It is adapted alike for the 

 canner, market gardener, shipper or amateur. The dry bean is large, kidney shaped and white in 

 color, making it one of the best for cooking in the dry state. The pods are long, mealy, stringless, 

 and of a beautiful yellow color. It stands shipping better than any other, and is one of the best of the 

 wax podded varieties. Pint 15c. Quart 25c. Peck $1.50. Bu. $5.50. 



Dwarf German Wax. — One of the finest of Snap-shorts, and the oldest of the Wax varie 

 ties ; pods transparent, waxy yellow, and snap like pipe-stems ; boil as rich as butter, and, when 

 highly seasoned, are luscious; they are thick and very tender, entirely stringless, and fully as early 

 as the Valentine ; one of the best market varieties. The bean, when ripe, is black. Pint 15c. 

 Quart 25c. Peck $1.25. Bu. $5.00. 



Improved Golden Wax. — (Rust-proof). — This variety, the pods of which are of a dark 

 rich, golden yellow color, is rapidly surpassing the famous Golden Wax, which has been the most 

 popular and most desirable of all Wax varieties. It is a vast improvement not only in the size of its 

 pods and productiveness, but it is not liable to rust, even in the most unfavorable weather. Seasons 

 that have almost entirely destroyed the crop of Golden Wax by rust the Improved variety stood 

 without a blemish to its pods. Pint 15c. Quart 25c. Peck $1. 25. Bu. $5.00.
