DWARF GREEN PODDED VARIETIES 
Keeney's StringleSS Refugee. — The originator pf this new strain of Green- 
pod Refugee has been working for more than 
twenty years to get the string out of the old Thousand-to-one Refugee Bean, and has suc- 
ceeded in eliminating it entirely, having produced a Strlngless Refugee. The plant 
grows to a large size and is enormously productive, one plant having borne 56 well-deve- 
loped pods. The shape of pod is round, size medium to long, slightly curved, medium 
green in colour and very brittle, remaining so until nearly old enough to shell. Lb 
30 cts. (post paid, lb., 40 cts.). 
New French StringleSS. — Retains its delicate tenderness even when a little old. 
In France, it has superseded nearly all other sorts on 
account of its deliciousness. It cannot be recommended too highly for the local mar- 
ket gardener or shipper, for it simply sells on sight. It is a true, stringless flat pod bean, 
surpassing many varieties for productiveness, the yield being simply prodigious. The 
pod is of medium length, in colour a very attractive light green, and is unequaled by 
any other sort for tenderness and fine flavor. ]/ 2 lb., 40 cts.; lb., 75 cts. (post paid, lb

POLE OR RUNNING BEANS 
CULTURE. — After settled warm weather, set poles 4 to 8 feet long in rows north and south 
four feet apart, the poles being three feet apart in the row, and set leaning to the north at an 
angle of 5 degrees. Set in this way, the vines climb better, bear earlier, and the pods are straighter 
and more easily seen. Around each hill plant from 5 to 8 beans, 2 inches deep. When well 
started, thin to four plants. Any that fail to climb around the poles should be started by hand 
in the same direction the other vines are going.
