CONDON'S Northern Grown Seed BEANS 
"Direct from the Grower to the Sower" 
Dwarf Green Podded Varieties 
The photograph below was taken on one of our seed farms at Rockford, Illinois, and on this 
field alone we had eighty acres of Beans. That's a few. Isn't it? But it's only a very small portion of 
our actual planting^s which totals very close to a thousand acres, with extensive plantings lilte these 
we are in position to select and breed our seed to a far higher degree of perfection than most people, 
and by this careful selection, roguing and hand-plcliing, we have Beans that are really worth more 
than are less carefully selected seed, but you don't pay even as much as most dealers ask, if you buy 
direct from us, for being actual growers we save you the jobber's profit. Our Bean Crops this year 
are fine — All big plump seed — good color — fully matured that germinates 95 to 100%. Our Prices are 
Low for such High Quality Seed and we want you to order early and tell your Neighbors to send their 
orders also. They will thank you at harvest. We thank you now.

227 Condon's "Sure Ci^" Stringier, ^^^^y P'^k in 45 DayS 
This extra early variety, although comparatively new, has been widely 
distributed, and we have yet to hear anything but praise about its fine 
quality and other merits; it is an ideal Snap Bean, producing a fine crop 
of round, straight, solid, fleshy pods averaging 6% Inches long, wonder- 
fully tender and brittle, without a trace of tough interlining, and having 
no string when broken, excepting when the pods are quite old. The flavor 
is most delicious, while the delicate green color of the pods is retained 
after cooking, adding to its attractiveness when served. The plants are 
of robust, compact habit, unexcelled in bearing qualities, maturing the 
crop very regularly. It Is extra early, the pods being fit to pick three to 
four days before other varieties of equal size. Packet, 10 eta.t M, lb.
