Round Pod Kidney, 

 or Brittle Wax Beans 



Beans of Special 

 Merit 



Sure-Crop Stringless Wax 



This splendid new variety, first offered by 

 us two years ago, has already become a great 

 favorite and is now more in demand with our 

 trade than any other variety of Wax Bean. 

 For further description and illustration see 

 back cover of catalog. Qt. 65 cts., pk. $4.50, 

 bus. $17. 



Round-Pod Kidney, or 

 Brittle Wax 



This we like to call a round-podded brother 

 to Sure-Crop Stringless Wax. although in 

 yielding qualities none of the round-podded 

 varieties measure up to the standards of the 

 flat-podded kinds. Brittle Wax is perhaps the 

 handsomest of all round-podded Beans and is 

 surely of superlative ciuality. It starts bearing 

 6-inch pods 6o days after. planting seeds and 

 continues to bear for the best part of a month. 

 Brittle Wax is perfectly stringless, even after 

 it becomes old and overgrown. If your trade 

 prefers a round-podded to a flat-pod Bean, 

 choose this. Qt. 65 cts., pk. $4.50, bus. $17. 



Full Measure 



One of the best yielders among early, round- 

 podded, green Bush Beans. Full Measure is 

 always stringless, very fleshy, and its principal 

 characteristic is its handsome dark color, 

 which never fails to catch the eye when pods 

 are displayed on the market bench. The plants 

 are of vigorous constitution and resist blight 

 and other plant diseases well. Pods are borne 

 in greatest profusion, and the bulk of its 

 crop is produced in a short season, something 

 ■of particular value to gardeners who are short 

 of help. Qt. 60 cts., pk. $4, bus. $15. 



The Choicest Beans 



All our Beans are grown by the most experienced and most conscientious seed-grow- 

 ing specialists in the country. Several times during the season, the fields bearing the 

 seed-crop are gone over by experts, who remove any "rogues" which they may find. 

 Thus, the state of perfection of all our strains has been gradually raised until it is dififi- 

 cult indeed to find a yellow-podded plant in a green-pod field, or a plant bearing flat 

 pods when the field is planted to a round-podded sort. 



Besides being thus critically inspected several times during the 

 season, all our stocks are thoroughly milled, hand-picked, and we 

 firmly believe that better strains of Beans than ours cannot be 

 secured anywhere at any price. Our stocks this year are excellent, 

 although in some instances we have just barely enough to go round. 



Our advice is to order early and make sure of what you want.
