BEANS Dwarf, Bush or Snap-Green Podded Sorts, Cont d 



Stringlcss Grccn Pod 



III ' 



A most valuable addition to our green 

 podded sorts. The vine is vigorous, 

 spreading and very productive. The pods are larger and a little 

 coarser in texture than those of the Red Valentine, but are quite as 

 fleshy, of equally high quality and remain crisp and tender longer. 

 They mature a little later; seed yellowish-brown in color. Pkt. 10c; 

 Pt. 2.5c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Bushel $8.00 



Tennessee Green Pod 



This dwarf, snap bean, although new to 

 the seed trade, has for several years 

 been grown in the south, and wherever known is freely spoken of in 

 terms of highest praise. Vine prolific; foliage dark green, with leaves 

 lai-ge and crumpled; pods very long, flat, irregular in shape, bright 

 green and of most excellent quality. Seed of medium size, oval, flat, 

 yellow in color. After careful selection we have developed a uni- 

 formly true stock of the variety which we know will give splendid 

 satisfaction. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; Qt. 40c; 4 Qts. $1.50; Busjiel $8.00 



EARLY YELLOW KIDNEY SIX WEEKS. Vines large, vigorous, 

 branching, productive, with large leaves; pods long, straight, flat, 

 handsome and when young, of good quality; seed long, kidney- 

 shaped, light yellow, with darker marks about the eye. Pkt. 10c; 

 Pt. 20c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qts. $1.00: Bushel $6.00 



EARLY MOHAWK. This sort is so much hardier than the others that 

 it can be planted earlier and often will furnish beans fit for use before 

 aoy other kind. Vines large, stout, with large, coarse leaves; pods 



. long, straight, coarse, flat, with long, tapering points; seed long, 

 kidney-shaped, variegated with drab, purple and brown. This 

 vai'iety is much in favor for forcing under glass, as it matures quickly 

 and carries a good weight of long, large pods. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 25c; 

 Qt. 35c; 4 Qts. $1.25; Bushel $6.50
