Dwarf Horticultural Bean. 



Imrkprk%ri>r1 Cit\AA^rA Vines large, much branched, erect, forming 

 imprOVea VJOaadrU a large bush; leaflets large, crimped, bright 

 green; pods large, long, flat, usually curved, with long, curved points; 

 green when young, but as the beans become fit for use are splashed and 

 striped with crimson. Green beans very large, splashed with red and of 

 fine quality. Seed marked like Dwarf Horticultural and of the same 

 color, but longer and much larger, making them more desirable for 

 market use. The green beans are almost as large, though different in 

 shape and quite as good in quality as those of the Large Lima. Pkt. 10c;

BEST OF ALL. The hardy, vigorous vine produces an abundance of very 

 straight, handsome pods which when fit for use as snaps, are very brittle 

 and of a veiy deep green color. As the pods mature they become lighter 

 in color and splashed with bright red. AVhen fit for use as green shelled, 

 the beans are large, mottled with red, tender and of fine quality. One 

 of the hardiest and best of the green-podded varieties. Seed large, kid- 

 ney-shaped, flesh colored and nearly covered with splashes of bright red.

S^"" The following four Bush, or Snap sorts, are also extensively 

 planted as field beans: 



EARLY MARROW PEA, OR DWARF WHITE NAVY. A variety devel- 

 oped in western New York. Is a sure cropper, and not only more prolific 

 than the common white bean, but also of better quality. Vine large, 

 spreading, with small, thin leaves, and occasional runners; ripening its 

 crop early and all at once. Pods straight, short, small, but usually con- 

 taining six beans; beans small, oval, white, handsome and of superior 

 quaUty. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qts. 60c; Bu. $3.50 



VINELESS MARROW. A splendid bean for field culture. Plant large, 

 strong and vigorous, but compact and without runners, bearing its crop 

 m the center and well up from the ground. The dry beans are very 

 large very white, and of the best qualitv. A wonderfully prolific and 

 valuable sort. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 15c; Qt. 30c; 4 Qts. 60c; Bu. $3.75 



LARGE WHITE MARROW, OR MOUNTAIN. Vines large, slender, spread- 

 ing, with short runners and small leaves: very prolific; pods broad,

^^rintfl^«< Cir»»f\ Pnrl A most valuable addition to our green podded 

 Oillll^lCdo VJICCI1 ruu 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. PRt. 10c; Pt. 35c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qts. $1.35; Bu. $6.50 



rii;ini Strintf|p^<i firppn Pnd A'^ exceedingly productive and very 



Uldni .3Lril1^IC>> KJVK,<,\\ rUU handsome sort. The pods mature a few 



days later than those of Stringless Green Pod, are a little longer and the quality 



is very good. Leaves small and light green. Seed long, slender, light yellowish 



brown. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qts. $1.35; Bu. $7.00 



Ti9nn^cc^<> Hroon PnH This dwarf, snap bean, although new to the seed 

 ICllllCddCC VPiccii ruu trade, has for several years been grown in the 

 south and wherever known is freely spoken of in terms of highest praise. Vine 

 prohfic; fohage dark green, with leaves large and crumpled; pods very long, flat, 

 irregular in shape, bright green and of most excellent quality. Seed of medium 

 size, oval, flat, j^ellow in color. After careful selection we have developed a 

 uniformly true stock of the variety which we know will give splendid satisfac- 

 tion. Pkt. 10c; Pt. 35c; Qt. 35c; 4 Qts. $1,35; Bu. $6.50 



DWARF HORTICULTURAL. Vine very productive, compact, upright, with large 



leaves. Pods medium length, cvlindrical, curved, with splashes of bright red oa 



a yellowish ground. They become fit for use as green shelled beans very early 



and in this condition the beans are very large, easily shelled and are about equal 



to the Lima in quality, al- 



though of quite diff'erent 



form. Seed large, oval, plump, 



flesh colored and nearlj^ cov

red.
