Mulford Culture 



Culture. — Succeed best in warm, sandy loam, enriched with well rotted stable or poultry manure. Must not be sown until the ground 

 is warm and dry. Sow in drills 18 to 30 inches apart, 1 to 2 inches deep, placing the beans 2 to 3 inches apart in the drills; for a succes- 

 sion sow every 2 weeks until September. A packet will sow about 25 feet of row; use 1 quart to 200 feet, 1 bushel to the acre. Bush Beans 

 are ready for use in 35 to 50 days. Cultivate frequently but shallow and never when the foliage is wet. 



An Absolutely Stringless Giant Podded Bush Bean 



The handsome round pods are 6 to 7 inches long, dark green 

 in color, very brittle and of superior quality. The plant grows 

 large and erect, producing its pods only a few days later than 

 Stringless Green Pod. It is one of the most productive varie- 

 ties in our whole list. Market gardeners will find this bean 

 a profitable sort. It is one of the best for the home garden.

n Black Valentine 



13 



An Early Standard Variety that is Hard to Beat 



Our improved strain of this famous old reliable green podded bush 

 bean is ready for the basket in 35 to 38 days. As now perfected it has 

 full, meaty round pods, which possess beauty, tenderness and superior 

 flavor. It is an ideal snap short bean, and one that always sells well in 

 the market. Plants grow uniformly about fifteen inches in height. Our 

 Earliest Improved is a great improvement over the original Red Val- 

 entine and is now the most prolific and profitable bean of its kind. 

 Packet, 10 cents; pint, 40 cents; quart, 75 cents, postpaid. 

 By express or freight, not prepaid, quart, 60 cents; 

 4 quarts, $2.25; peck, $4.00. 



The Earliest Bean to Plant, Owing to Its Hardiness 



A very hardy and productive green podded bush bean, with 

 strong vigorous bush. It will withstand early and late frosts 

 that kill other varieties. It yields enormously and the pods 

 are one-third longer than the Earliest Improved Valentine; 

 they are perfectly round and straight. Owing to its many 

 excellent qualities and large and handsome appearance it is a 

 splendid sort for the market as well as the home gardener. 

 Very popular in the South on account of its blight resisting 

 qualities; a long distance shipper.

6 Dwarf Horticultural 



Excellent Either as a Snap or Shell Bean 



Also called Cranberry and I talian bean. A vigorous grower with large 

 green pods, splashed with carmine. Excellent either as snaps in the 

 green state, shelled green or dry. They become fit for use as green 

 shelled beans very early, and in this condition the beans are very large, 

 easily shelled and about equal to the lima in quality. 



Packet, 10 cents; pint, 50 cents; quart, 90 cents, postpaid.

7 Round Pod Refugee or 1000 to 1 



Excellent Summer Variety; Enormous Yielder 



Very popular in many sections; enormous yielder, similar to the 

 Earliest Improved Valentine, pods one-third larger, tapering to a slen- 

 der point. Pods are perfectly round and straight, tender and of excel- 

 lent table qualities; hardy, good for both early and late planting; one of 

 the best for main crop. Very popular with canners.
