Keeney's New Stringless Green Pod Refugee 



The Coming Green Podded Bush Bean for the 

 Canner, Home Garden or Market 



For more than 25 years the originator of this variety has 

 been working to eliminate the string of the old Thousand to 

 One Green Pod Refugee. In this new bean he has suc- 

 ceeded, and I am glad to be able to offer my customers this 

 Stringless Refugee. Its habit of growth, pod and seed are prac- 

 tically the same as the old Thousand to One Refugee, but 

 maturing its beans a few days earlier. Very productive; of 

 true bush form; attains a height of eighteen inches. The 

 handsome, round, green pods average about 5 inches long and 

 are brittle, tender, fleshj^ and perfectly stringless at all stages 

 of their growth. Its quality is superfine; for commercial can- 

 ning it is unequaled, as the tender, green pods retain their 

 beautiful green color, and being entirely stringless, makes it 

 far superior to any other variety. For home or market gar- 

 den Keeney's Refugee bean will be found very desirable and 

 for the shipper it has no equal. Keeney's New Stringless 

 Refugee is just what has been wanted by my market gar- 

 dener friends, especially in the South, as it is a very heavy 

 cropper and an excellent shipj)er.

22 Burlingame Mediom Field Bean 



Earliest, hardiest, most productive and most profitable field bean in America; the 

 favorite of the leading bean farmers in Central New York. It averages 40 bushels per 

 acre. It ripens early, and in a wet season remains sound and healthy where other 

 varieties rust and spot. The ripened seed Is pearly white, and is much handsomer than 

 other sorts. Producing somewhat larger dry white beans than the Mavy, but not as 

 large as the White IMarrowfat, consequently, commands top prices. Packet, JO cents; 

 pint, 25 cents; quart, 45 cents, postpaid. By exjiress or freight, not prepalil, 

 quart, 30 cents; 4 quarts, Sl.OO; peclc, $1.75; liusliel, $0.00. 



A verj^ hardy and productive green podded bush bean, with 

 strong vigorous bush. In season a Uttle hiter than my Earli- 

 est Improved Valentine, has the advantage of being suit- 

 able for both early and late planting. It will withstand 

 early and late frosts that kill other varieties. It yields enor- 

 mously and the pods are one-tliird longer than the Earliest 

 Improved Valentine; they are perfectly round and straight. 

 Owing to its many excellent qualities and large and hand- 

 some appearance it is a splendid sort for the market gardener. 

 Very popular in tiie South on account of its blight resisting 

 qualities; a long distance shipper. Packet, 10 cents; pint, 25 

 cents; quart, 45 cents, postpaid. By express or freight, not
