GREEN POD BUSH BEANS— Continued 



BOLGIANO'S EARLIEST RED VALENTINE BEANS. 

 Our stock of this very superior Bean has been carefully 

 built up to satisfy a most critical market gardeners' trade, 

 which trade we cater to. It is ready for picking in 35 days 

 from planting — ten days earlier than the ordinary Red Val- 

 entine Beans. Packet, 5c; pint, 20c; quart, 30c; gallon, 

 $1.15; peck, $2.25; bushel, $9.00. 



"GIANT STRINGLESS" GREEN •POD BEANS. This is 

 a great improvement on old-time popular favorite Valentine 

 Bean. The pods are fully one-third longer, averaging 5 to 6 

 inches in length; absolutely stringless, very crisp, round, full 

 and fleshy. It is enormously productive, its handsome pods 

 being ready for market a few days earlier than the old Val- 

 entine. We confidently recommend it either for the home 

 garden or as a profitable variety to grow for market. Price: 

 pkt., 10c; pt., 25c; qt., 45c; 2 qts., 80c; 4 qts., $1.50; 

 pk., $2.75; bu., $10.00. 



EXTRA EARLY REFUGEE. A very early, green-podded 

 variety, with medium-sized, green, fleshy pods; seed drab, 

 freely spotted with dark purple. The vines are smaller and 

 of more upright growth, and leaves a little larger than the 

 Late Refugee. Pkt., 10c; pt., 20c; qt., 30c; gal., $1.15; 

 pk., $2.25; bu., $9.00. 



REFUGEE, OR 1,000 TO 1. A variety rather later than

DWARF WAX-PODDED SNAP BEANS 



HODSON WAX BEANS. A new and entirely distinct type of Wax 

 Beans. Producing a healthy growth of foliage, resists rust and blight, 

 and is remarkably prolific, with long, straight, handsome, light yellow oval- 

 shaped pods, somewhat resembling Wardwell's Kidney Wax. The pods are 

 brittle and tender, and of fine texture. If picked when young, are entirely 

 stringless. Its good qualities and remarkable productiveness make it one 

 of the best late or main crop wax beans for house or market garden. 

 Pint, 20 cents; quart, 35 cents; peck, $2.75; 1 bushel, $11.00. 



PENCIL POD BLACK WAX BEAN. This new bean has been most 

 enthusiastically praised by all who have grown it. Its beautiful yellow 

 pods are straight and from 5 to 7 inches long, well rounded, meaty and 

 deep saddle-backed. They are always solid, brittle and entirely stringless. 

 The plants grow 15 inches high with abundance of large, heavy foliage, 

 under which will be found an enormous crop of magnificent straight, golden 

 yellow pods. Decidedly better than old Black Wax. Price: pt., 20c; 

 qt., 40c; pk., $2.75; bush., $11.00. 



BOLGIANO'S NEW WAX BEANS. Introduced by us. The pods are 

 round and of a brjght golden yellow. It is very productive, bearing its 

 fruit in clusters, medium size, thick flesh, pods about the size and shape 

 of the red Valentine. It is very early and our trade has been much pleased 

 with this bean. It is free from rust and stringless. Pt., 20c; qt., 40c; 

 gal., $1.35; pk., $3.00; bush., $12.00.

CLIMBING OR POLE BEANS (Stangen Bohnen) 



(1 quart to 150 hills; 10 to 12 quarts to the acre.) 

 Add 15 cents per quart on beans if to be sent by mail. 

 CULTURE OF POLE BEANS. Choose light soil and make small hills 

 Huusun tux Beans three feet apart, having previously spaded deeply and fertilized. Plant long 



po'e two feet deep m the center of the hills. Allow six beans to each hill, 

 covering them barely beneath the surface, their eyes downward. Do not al!ow more than three to climb a pole, but remove 

 extra plants to hills where less than three have sprouted. The lima bean is very delicate, and often from slight causes, 

 fails to sprout. They shou'.d not be planted until the ground is warm. 



LAZY WIFE. One of the best for snaps of the later green podded pole beans. The numerous pods, borne in large 

 clusters, are 5 to 7 inches long, broad, thick, fleshy, and entirely stringless. When young they have a rich, buttery flavor, 

 which is retained until they are nearly ripe. The dry beans are excellent for winter use. Seed white. Packet, 10c; 

 pint, 20c; quart, 35c; gallon, $1.25; bushel, $9.00. 



Liberal packets of any variety, postpaid, for 10 cents.
