CORNFIELD BEANS 
Great favorites in the South. Grow finely in the shade of com 
and are especially good for late in the season bearing. A few 
cornfield beans should be planted on every farm in the South. 
Georgian Bean (No. 36) S 
for use as a regular pole bean. Several years ago during a period 
of extreme heat and drought in September snap beans were not to 
be had from any of the truck growers. All beans apparently had 
quit bearing and dried up. One day during this bean famine a 
farmer with a good sized wagon load of fine “snap” beans stopped 
in front of our Atlanta store and it wasn’t long until he sold out 
his load at the rate of $2.00 per bushel. On being questioned he was 
very close mouthed about this bean which he said had been in his 
family for years and which could always be depended on. He ab- 
solutely refused to sell any of the seed to anyone. Three or four 
years later we succeeded in obtaining a very small quantity of the 
seed and can now offer in small quantities for home use. It makes 
a strong growing vine either for planting in corn or for trailing on 
poles, and is fairly covered with medium sized, meaty, practically 
stringless pods of finest flavor and quality. Its greatest value, how- 
ever, is its great resistance to drought and heat, seeming as it does 
to go on and bear in spite of weather that makes all other varieties 
stop. Another valuable feature is its ability to put on good crops 
of the rankest growth in corn fields where the vines are heavily 
shaded. Above all it is a bean to stay with you late in the season, 
giving both satisfaction and plenty of beans under late summer and 
fall conditions when beans are always scarce. We advise you to 
get at least a start of our Georgian Pole Bean this year, for it is 
certainly fine. Packet, 15 cents. 
Hastings’ Genuine Cornfieid Bean ( No. 1 8) 
For years we have had calls for a thoroughly satisfactory cornfield 
bean and there has been none on the market. There are many so- 
called cornfield beans, but they have been generally unsatisfactory, 
not growing as vigorously as they should in the shade of the corn 
stalks. A few years ago we succeeded in obtaining a small quantity 
of a real cornfield bean that is entirely satisfactory in manner of 
growth, heavy-bearing qualities, tenderness and fine flavor. We 
succeeded in working up a sufficient stock of it to offer the past 
three years, and if you want a bean for planting in the corn this is 
certainly the variety that you can plant with full assurance that it 
will give you exactly the kind of results you are looking for. It is 
green podded, producing beang about 6 inches long, round and well 
filled. This bean has never been offered by any other seed house.

Hastings’ White Cornfieid Bean (No. 35) 
Most of you probably know or have heard of the old-time famous 
Cornfield Bean. “Hastings’ Genuine Cornfield,” as is listed just 
above. It is a perfectly satisfactory bean but so many would rather 
have the same variety in every respect except in color. They want 
a white bean. This is fully as good if not better than the “Genuine 
Cornfield” with the added qualities of a white bean. No more need 
to be said. In many respects similar to our famous “McCaslan” 
Pole Bean. Packet, 15 cents. 
GOOD HOME GARDENS CUT STORE BILLS 
DDMOCPI O SPROUTS highly esteemed member of the cabbage family, 
especially desirable for late summer and fall planting 
in Florida and the Gulf Coast section.' The “sprouts” are miniature cabbages growing closelv 
on the stalk of the plant, a small head being formed at each leaf joint. Plants are quite hardy 
and live through the winter in all parts of the lower South. Quality and flavor are much im‘- 
proved by frost. Sow seed in July, August or September and when plants are four to six 
inches high transplant to open ground, like cabbage. 
Improved Dwarf Brussels Sprouts (No. 59) roS.'’i^roZc‘; 
ing compact “sprouts” of the very best quality. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 20 cents; % pound, 50 
cents; pound, $1.75; postpaid. 
BROCCOLI A vegetable very closely related to cauliflower, from which it is supposed to 
wamwwwki j^ave come. In culture it is the same as that for cauliflower, and in the 
Southern States, unless you are an expert cauliflower grower. Broccoli will make a surer header 
for you. There are many also kept from growing cauliflower by the high price of the seed. To 
those we recommend Broccoli. 
White Cape Broccoli 
fNOi 56) Cape Broccoli is the best 
^iivivwy type for the South and vou 
will do well to have it in your garden 
this year. Packet, 10 cents; % ounce, 25 
cents; ounce, 50 cents; postpaid. 
BORECOLE OR KALE 
FOR GREENS 
bage and will stand through the entire 
winter in any ordinary season in the Cen- 
tr:il and Lower South. Of all the cabbage 
tribe this is the most finely flavored and it 
would be more generally grown were its 
good qualities more widely known. It is a 
favorite vegetable to furnish “greens” in 
the South during winter and spring, and 
for that use there is nothing better. Sow 
one ounce of seed for 100 feet of row, 3 to 
4 pounds per acre. 
Early Green Curled 
known as “Dwarf German,'” 
“Dwarf Curled Scotch,” and 
“Siberian.” It is rather low growing,

or. The young leaves are tender and delicate in flavor
