BEANS, Dwarf or Bush 



Ger. Bohne. Ft. Haricot. 

 One quart will plant 100 feet of drill. 



SWARF, or Bush Beans, require no support, 

 and may be planted in hills or drills, the latter 

 way being preferred. Make the drills eighteen 

 inches apart, two inches deep, and drop the 

 beans four inches apart in the seed drill. Keep 

 clear of weeds, hoeing when dry. Beans are ten- 

 der annuals, and cannot be safely planted till 

 danger from frost is past. Plant every two 

 weeks for a ' succession.

great improvement on the popular old Golden

EESNEY'S RUSTLESS GOLDEN WAX. A 



strong-growing bush variety of remarkable vigor 

 and freedom from rust. It sends out short ten- 

 drils on which pods are formed in addition to 

 those near the central stock of the plant, which 

 accounts for its wonderful productiveness. The 

 pods are meaty and well filled, of rich yellow 

 color and fine quality and entirely stringless, 

 even when large enough to shell. If the pods 

 are picked as fast as formed, the plant contin- 

 ues to furnish a bountiful supply for an un- 

 usually long season. Per pkt. 5 cts., V 2 pt. 15 

 cts., 2 for 25 cts., % pk. 80 cts., pk. $1.50.

 riety is a selection from the famous Wardwell's 

 Kidney Wax Bean, and possesses the same ex- 

 cellent market and shipping qualities of this pop- 

 ular variety. As its name indicates, its pods are 

 round instead of flat. The plant grows strong 

 and sturdy, with long, round, handsome string- 

 less pods of large size, very solid and full of
