POLE BEANS

has seen it growing to be the best pole bean 
in existence, a pole bean that “beats Kentucky Won¬ 
der,” as one of them said. This is one of our own intro¬ 
ductions that has created a sensation in the Seed Trade. 
The illustration shows its immense prolificness, and the 
well-filled, dark green, large sized pods are meaty, string¬ 
less and of delicious flavor. Large packet, 10 cents; % pint, 
15 cents; pint, 25 cents; quart, 40 cents.

customers for best seed this year.
