DESCRIPTIVE SEED LIST FOR 1918— From 
BEANS— Continued 
DWARF HORTICULTURAL o r 
"Cranberry Bean." This well known 
bean is very sturdy and prolific. It is 
well adapted both for home garden 
and for market growing. The beans 
which are speckled, bright red on a 
yellowish ground, are quite large and 
uniform and are very fine either for 
eating as green shell beans or as dried 
beans for winter use. There are few 
beans which will surpass the Dwarf 
Horticultural, either in quantity or 
sureness of yield. Lb., 40c; % lb., 25c; 
1/4 lb., 15c; pkg., 10c. 
PENCIL POD BLACK WAX. One 
of the finest strains of wax beans 
known. It is very early, enormously 
productive, and of the very best qual- 
ity. It has long, slender, handsome 
pods, that cook so tender they melt 
in the mouth, and are the most deli- 
cious bean we have ever found. Lb., 
50c; % lb., 30c; % lb., 15c; pkg., 10c.

WAX. This is the earliest of all the 
wax beans. It is ready for use a week

other kinds. Plant a few of these for 
earlier use and some of the following 
for a succession. Lb., 45c; >4 lb., 25c;
