Kentucky Wonder Wax. An early yielder 



Edible-Podded 

 Pole Beans 



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



The Wax-Podded Kinds 



Kentucky Wonder Wax. (As i II tist rated along- 

 side.) 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. T] 

 plants make a vigorous growth and are immensely 

 productive. In season of bearing it ranks among 

 the earliest of all Pole Beans, being ready for pick- 

 ing within 75 days after date of planting. Pkt. 

 10 cts., pt. 40 cts., qt. 70 cts., 2 qts. $1.35. 



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., pt. 40 cts., qt. 75 cts., 

 2 qts. $1.45. 



White-Seeded Kentucky 

 Wonder 



or Burger's Green-Pod Stringless 



Earlier than Old Homestead and re- 

 mains longer in bearing. Pods 6 to 8 in- 

 ches long, borne in clusters; dark green in 

 color; very meaty and stringless. Pkt. 

 10 cts., pt. 40 cts., qt. 70 cts., 2 

 qts. $1.35. 



Kentucky Wonder, or Old Homestead. Pods 

 borne in clusters; deep green in color, perfect^/ 

 round, and often 9 inches in length; tender, crisp, 

 and of finest quality. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 35 cts., 

 qt. 65 cts., 2 qts. $1.25. 



Horticultural, or Speckled Cranberry Pole. 

 Bears a profusion of large, fleshy pods; one of the 

 best and finest-flavored Shell Beans. Particularly 

 valuable for cool sections. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 35 cts., 

 qt. 65 cts., 2 qts. $1.25. 



Lazy Wife. Very productive; pods green; 4 to 

 6 inches long; broad, thick, fleshy and entirely 

 stringless; rich and tender. Pkt. 10 cts., pt. 

 35 cts., qt. 65 cts., 2 qts. $1.25. 



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, attrac- 

 tive 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., pt. 35 cts., 



qt. 65 cts., 2 qts. $1.25. 



Yard Long, or Cuban As- 

 paragus Bean. Pods are 

 round and glossy and attain 

 2 feet or more in length. The 

 Beans arequite a curiosity and 

 of fair quality while young. 

 Pkt. 10 cts. 



Scarlet Runner. Grown 

 principally for its flowers; good 

 as a Snap or Shell Bean. Pkt. 

 10 cts., pt. 35 cts., qt. 60c.
