A NEW WHITE SEEDED VARIETY WITH ROUND, STRINGLESS 
é PODS OF UNSURPASSED BEAUTY AND QUALITY. 
ion This is the result of crossing a white seeded sort with the Yosemite and in it the 
7 off! good qualities of the latter variety are developed to a superlative degree, while 
(" 9. its faults of shy bearing and imperfect pods are eliminated; the Jones’ Stringless 
pt Wax being wonderfully productive of uniformly well shaped and handsome pods. 
Ag The plant is exceedingly hardy,rust-proof and productive. It matures the long. 
round, fleshy, stringless pods very early and ripens its crop of seed earlier than 
the earliest of our field beans, so that it will provea valuable sort for the farm as 
wellasthe garden. The ripe beans are salable as No. i Medium and are of super- 
ior quality for culinary use. This feature makes the sort of especial value to 
market gardeners, since, if from any reason there is no sale for them as snaps. 
the value of the dry beans will make the crop a remunerative one. Every 
farmer and gardener shouldtry it. Pkt. lic; 4 packets 50c 
Vineless Marrow Bean... 
The plant though wonderfully vigorous is compact and free from the 
long runners so objectionable in the Common White Marrow. It reguires the 
entire season to mature its crop but is marvelously productive and the dry beans. 
which are large and handsome, are of the finest quality, so that when 
known the sort commands an extra price on the market. Our stock of 
this sort is certainly the best late field bean in cultivation. Pkt. 10c:

bite Sickle Pole Bean —— 
JONES’ 
STRINGLESS Those who object to the Kentucky Wonder because of the colored beans will be 
Wax delighted with this sort, which has equally long and tender pods, but with white instead of 
BEAN. colored beans. It has been grown with great success in the South and those who have used it. 
think it by far the best bean for their section. We especially recommend it for the South and 
for those who want along and tender pod which will not discolor in cooking. It is also very 
valuable for use in northern gardens, particularly where a long, brittle, tender pod is desired

y P)ETROIT DARK RED vs 
, TURNIP REET Ry : 
Investigation will generally prove that the finest formed and 
handsomest colored turnip beets found in any market were grown Jf 
from our stock of Detroit Dark Red Turnip. Certainly 
no other stock can equal it in the uniformity and beauty 
of the crop produced, and no gardener who plants it once 
will feel that he can afford to use any other. 
IT IS NOT ONLY BEAUTIFUL AND GOOD 
BUT EXCEEDINGLY EARLY.... 
and of such compact growth that it will produce more mar- 
ketable beets on a given area than any other.
