Is an im- 
Extta ash eiieee.. cas 
ment on the well-known old Refugee. Very 
early and prolific. Owing toits good qualities 
it has become a favorite with the market gar- 
denersforshipping. Pods round and fleshy. 
Giant Stringless Green Pod 
With all the merits of its name- 
Dwart. sake it has in additiou larger 
pods and is more productive. Pods of this 
variety are one-third larger than Valentine, 
and it is claimed that it is earlier; notso 
early as the original Stringless Green Pod, 
but it is desirable to plant with that variety 
for a succession. It retains all the charac- 
teristics and good qualities of its parent, but 
with a very much larger and more showy 
pod. In quality no variety surpasses it; 
gardeners and truckers should give it a 
thorough trial. 
Keeney’s Rustless Golden 
Wax This is the long looked for bean, 
* combining hardiness and produc- 
tiveness with fine quality. A strong grow- 
ing bush variety of remarkable vigor and 
freedom from rust.
