PLANT REAL CORNFIELD BEANS

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 ob- 
taining a small quantity of the real cornfield bean that is entirely satisfactory in manner of 
growth, heavy-bearing qualities, tenderness and fine flavor. We succeeded in AA’orking up a suf- 
ficient stock of it to offer in quantity, and if you AA^ant a bean for planting in the corn, this 
is certainly the variety that you can plant with full assurance that it Avill give you exactly the 
kind of results you are looking for. It is green podded, producing beans about 6 inches long, 
round and well filled. This bean has never been offered by any other seed house. Packet, 10

WHITE MEXICAN PROLIFIC TREE BEAN (No. 28) 
There isn’t a single real good reason on earth why you should buy Avhite or navy beans at the store for winter use when planting 
anywhere from one to four pounds (according to the size of your family) of White Mexican beans will give you an ample supply. The 
White Mexican is an adapted A'ariety of the Navy bean, and of which the South buys hundreds of carloads each year from Michigan 
and New York. You can just as easily grow these beans for yourself, and you will find the White Mexican entirely satisfactory for 
this purpose anywhere in the South. Plants of erect groAV'th, holding pods well up off the ground, although in seasons with plenty of 
rain there is a tendency to throw some runners. Ordinarily plants groAv 20 to 24 inches high, branching in all directions. Plant in 
rows about 2 feet apart, leaving single plants 6 to 8 inches apart in row. Can be used either as a snap bean or dry as a shell bean.
