Keeney's New Stringless Green Pod Refugee Bush Bean 



The Coining Green Podded Bush Bean for the 

 Canner, Home Garden or Market 



For more than 20 years the originator of this variety has 

 been working to eliminate the string of the old Thousand to 

 One Green Pod Refugee. In this new bean he has suc- 

 ceeded, and I am glad to be able to offer my customers this 

 Stringless Refugee. Its habit of growth, pod aud seed are prac- 

 tically the same as the old Thousand to One Refugee, but 

 maturing its beans a few days earlier. Very productive; of 

 true bush form; attains a height of eighteen inches. The 

 handsome, round, green pods average about 5 inches long and 

 are brittle, tender, fleshy and perfectly stringless at all stages 

 of their growth. Its quality is superline; for commercial can- 

 ning it Is unequaled, as the tender, green pods retain their 

 beautiful green color, and being entirely stringless, makes it 

 far superior to any other variety. For home or market gar- 

 den Keeney's Refugee bean will be found very desirable and 

 for the shipper it has no equal. Keeney's New Stringless 

 Refugee is just what has been wanted by my market gar- 

 dener friends, especially in the South, as it is a very heavy 

 cropper and an excellent shijDper.

KEENEY'S NEW STRINGLESS GREEN l-OD REFUGEE BEAN. 



BUSH BEANS-Wax or Yellow Pods 



27 MAULE'S WINGOLD WAX 



An Improved Maule's Butter VidOi. 



First offered in 1906 as "Nameless Wax." When the 

 originator of this bean offered it to me, I hesitated some time 

 before listing it, as I thought there were already enough 

 wax beans on the market; but his earnestness and my trials 

 of the bean, so impressed me with its merits that I finally 

 decided to offer it. That it is a great ac- ^5^d^*^' 



quLsition there is now no question. It is J^^^ 



absolutely stringless, with beautiful, round, / 



yellow pods that will sell at sight on any / 



market stall. It is free from spots or dis- 

 ease of any kind, and from several years' 

 experiments matures much earlier than I 

 expected. With one accord, all my friends 

 who tried it seemed to think it the coming 

 wax sort, especially in view of the fact that 

 it is so absolutely rust proof, so remarkably 

 hardy, and so wonderfully productive. The 

 handsomest wax sort for home or market. 



Packet, 15 cents; pint, 35 cents; quart, 60 cents, 

 postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 

 45 cents; 4 quarts, $1.75; peck, $3.00. 



28 HODSON WAX 



An entirely distinct type of wax bean. 

 Produces a healthy growth of foliage, resists 

 rust and blight, and is remarkably prolific, 

 with long, straight, handsome, light yel- 

 low, oval-shaped pods, somewhat resem- 

 bling 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 productive- 

 ness make it one of the best late or main crop 

 wax beans for the market. 



Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents, 

 postpaid. By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 

 25 cents; 4 quarts, 85 cents; peck, $1.50; bushel, $5.00. 



36 PROLIFIC BLACK WAX 



An improved strain of the old Black Wax; 

 '^1 a stronger grower, with longer, straighter and 

 * rounder pods, and twice as prolific and is one of 

 the earliest wax sorts. It also remains in good 

 picking condition for a long season. Its hand- 

 some, yellow, fleshy, stringless pods commend 

 it for both home and market purposes. 



Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents,

PROLIFIC BLACK WAX BEAN. 25 ccnts; 4 quarts, 85 cents; peck, $1.50; bushel, $5.00.
