FOURTEEN GREEN-POD VARIETIES 



Peck. Peck. "Qt. H Ft. 



Landreths' First in Market, 29 days— This is quite 



properly named, as it is the earliest Bean listed, ripening for table in twenty- 

 nine to thirty days, and therefore very profitable to the Market Gardener and 

 desirable as well to the Private Gardener. The pods are long, broad, green and 

 showy. The pods should be picked when very young, not allowing them to 

 get over two inches long, they then being tender; subsequently they become 

 tough. The habit of the vine is productive. The variety may be used in 

 three w^ays: 1st. As green pods when young and tender. 2d. Shelled as green 



flageolets when older. 3d. The hard, dry, white beans as haricot blanc $2.50 1. 10 30 10 



King of Earlies— Early as the Red Valentine, longer 



in pod, and on some soils a day or so earlier. Foliage darker, pods green in 

 color, half-round, shghtly curved. This is a sort of great celebrity among the 

 Mark.et Gardeners of several Bean-growing sections because of its product- 

 iveness, and so termed King 2.00 1.10 30 10
