 Thorburn in 1822. A common synonym 

 is One Thousand to One. This variety is 

 not especially recommended for northern 

 planting. The pods will run about five 

 inches long. They are round, slightly curved, 

 six seeded, light green in color and slightly 

 stringy. It is a variety extensively used also for canning, usually under the 

 name of Round-Pod Refugee. The Late Refugee is considered more pro-

No. 29— White Seed Kentucky Wonder (Pole) 



Days to Maturity, 70. The original Kentucky Wonder was of a 

 mottled, olive-drab. This strain was introduced by Gregory in 1877. 

 Old Homestead was a common synonym. The White Seeded Ken- 

 tucky Wonder is a later introduction, and has proven to be more 

 satisfactory for general purposes as a green-podded climbing bean. 

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

 ductive and grown very extensively, especially 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 between the beans. The 

 dried beans are white. Pkt. 10c, J/£ pt. 20c, pt. 40c, qt. 70c, . 

 Y<i pk. $2.75, postpaid.
