BEANS 
DWARF or BUSH 
It is to the advantage of custo- 
mers to buy Beans by weight. 
We have, therefore, discarded the 
old system of selling by measure, 
and would state for the informa- 
tion of customers that one pound 
equals about one pint. 
Culture. — Beans grow well in any 
good garden soil; the seed, being tender, 
should not be sown outside before May 1. 
Open a drill about 2 inches deep and 
drop the Beans about 1 inch apart. 
Have rows 2 feet apart. All Dwarf ^ 
Beans mature in from six to eight j 
weeks after planting. To have a con- 
tinual supply throughout the season, suc- 
cessive plantings at intervals of three 
weeks should be made from May 1 until 
August 15. 
One pound of seed is sufficient for 
50 feet of drill 
Bountiful. 
Bountiful Bush Beans 
The most prolific and tender of all green-podded Bush Beans. Entirely stringless, 
— - tender, and meaty. The pods are 6 to 7 inches long, stout, flat, slightly curved and 
free from fiber; the plants grow vigorously. Altogether this is one of the best every-purpose Beans we 
know of for the home-garden. J^lb. 30 cts., lb. 55 cts., 2 lbs. $1, 8 lbs. $3.50. 
IMPROVED BLACK VALENTINE. A very early, 
round-podded variety of excellent quality. The Beans are 
ready for picking six weeks after planting; the pods are 
very long, slender, straight, meaty, and entirely stringless. 
They retain their deep green color even after cooking, add- 
ing thereby to their attractiveness when served. The Beans 
are produced in enormous quantities, and are splendid for 
the table or for canning. J^lb. 30 cts., lb. 50 cts., 2 lbs. 
90 cts., 8 lbs. $3. 
IMPROVED STRINGLESS GREEN-POD. Another 
very fine green-podded Bean, which is very productive. 
The pods are 5 inches long, stout, round, and dark green in 
color; strictly stringless, tender, brittle and of finest qual- 
ity. This is probably the hardiest variety in cultivation 
and may be planted fully a week earlier than other sorts.

Extra-Early Red Valentine. This is the earliest of all 
green Bush Beans, producing pods of edible size in less
