A KITCHEN GARDEN 
the pods are six inches long, entirely stringless, very 
fleshy and rich flavored. 
Champion Bush Bean. —This is a strong grower, at¬ 
taining about fifteen to eighteen inches in height, and 
an immense cropper. The beans can be used as string 
beans in the green state, but its chief quality lies in 
the superiority of the beans when dried, and the 
large crops which it produces when grown for winter 
use. 
Pole Beans, Snap Varieties —Golden Wax Flage¬ 
olet. —This bean is of recent introduction, and is 
worthy of all the praise that has been bestowed upon 
it; it is a,tremendous bearer, and is almost as early 
as the dwarf wax varieties, the pods are much larger, 
being seven to eight inches long, round and very 
fleshy; they are entirely free from strings and of the 
finest quality. Unlike the other pole beans, it begins 
to produce beans at the bottom of the pole as soon 
as it starts to climb; and if these are used as 
they'Tnature, it will continue in bearing the entire 
season.* 
White Creaseback, or Best of All. —These for early 
and the Lazy Wife’s for late are the best of the green- 
podded pole beans. The pods are about six inches 
in length, thick fleshed, and of very fine quality. 
The Creaseback is very early and matures its crop 
in a short time, thus making it a very profitable 
* We would also particularly recommend Burpee’s White Zulu, a new 
variety of 1888 . It is one of the earliest of pole beans, immensely pro¬ 
ductive, and the broad, handsome, white pods, eight to ten inches long, 
are of the choicest quality.—E d.
