EDIBLE-PODDED POLE BEANS 



Parcel-post weight of Beans: Pint, 1 lb.; quart, 2 lbs. 



THE WAX-PODDED KINDS 



Kentucky Wonder Wax. This very much resembles Old Homestead or Kentucky Wonder 

 among the Green-Pod kinds. The pods average 

 from 6 to 7 inches long, are of bright yellow color 

 and of delicious flavor. The plants make a vigor- 

 ous growth and are immensely productive. In sea- 

 son of bearing it ranks among the earliest of all 

 Pole Beans, being ready for picking within 75 days 

 after date of planting. Pkt. 10 cts., lb. 40 cts., 

 2 lbs. 75 cts., 5 lbs. $1.75, 15 lbs. $4.75. 



Dreer's Golden Cluster Wax. This may be 

 considered the flat-podded companion of above, al- 

 though the color of the Beans is more on the order 

 of a waxy yellow instead of a golden yellow. Pods 

 average 7 inches long by 1 inch wide and are borne 

 in clusters of 4 to 6 Beans, within a week or 10 days 

 after Kentucky Wonder Wax, thus giving the home 

 gardener a perfect succession of delicious Pole 

 Beans. Beans should be picked, however, before 

 becoming 5 inches long, because, when fully grown, 

 they will develop some fiber. There should be room 

 in every home garden for at least a dozen poles of 

 both this and above splendidly flavored Bean. 

 Pkt. 10 cts., lb. 40 cts., 2 lbs. 75 cts., 5 lbs. $1.75, 

 15 lbs. $4.75.

 one of the best and finest-flavored Shell Beans. Particularly valuable for cool sections.

 15 lbs. $4. 



White Creaseback, or Best of All. While one of the oldest varieties in cultivation, it is also 

 one of the best. The plants are exceedingly thrifty and continue bearing until stopped by frost. 

 The pods are borne in clusters — literally by the handfuls — are of medium size, attractive silvery 

 green color, and perfectly stringless while young. We feel that, next to Kentucky Wonder this is 

 one of the best to grow in the home garden. Pkt. 10 cts., lb. 30 cts., 2 lbs. 55 cts., 5 lbs. $1.35, 

 15 lbs. $3.50.
