(2 lbs. to 100 feet in drill, or 150 hills; 120 lbs. to the acre, in drills) 
Beans require a light friable soil with plenty of moisture. In the garden, the soil should be made 
mellow and rich, and kept so. For garden, a succession of sowings can be made from the first week 
in May until the middle of June. Sow in rows 18 to 24 inches apart and cover from 1 to 2 inches deep, 
but not more. Keep the pods picked and the vines well watered and the beans will continue bearing much 
longer than if allowed to dry up. Hoe the rows occasionally. For farm crop, plant about 25 pounds per 
acre in rows 36 inches apart. 
DWARF, OR BUSH, WAX OR YELLOW PODDED VARIETIES 
THE SIX BEST YELLOW PODDED BEANS FOR MONTANA AND 'I HE N ORTHWEST 
Early Wonder Wax — It is loaded with 
pods, five to seven inches long; flat, 
plump, handsome and meaty, of a clear, 
waxy yellow color. The pods are ten¬ 
der, brittle and of fine texture. We 
claim this is the earliest wax-podded 
Bean. Practically rust-proof; a bounti¬ 
ful yielder, in bearing for long season, 
it is an ideal Bean for the home and 
market gardener. It seems determined 
to yield a crop in good weather or bad. 
55 days. Pkt., 5c; y 2 -lb., 25c; 1 lb., 40c; 
2 lbs., 70c; 5 lbs., $1.50. 
Improved Golden Wax —Probably the best 
known of all Wax Beans; it is an ideal 
Wax Bean; very prolific. Thick fleshed, 
pods flat and stringless. 60 days. Pkt., 
5c; %-lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 
lbs., $1.25. 
Sure Crop Stringless Wax—It starts bear¬ 
ing within 60 days after seeds are sown, 
but if anything its bearing season is 
longer. The pods average 6 to 7 inches 
long, are very meaty, flat but thick 
through, and we have never found a 
stringy specimen. Sure Crop Stringless 
Wax is very hardy and may therefore be planted 
several days earlier than the light seeded varie¬ 
ties. 65 days. Pkt., 5c; x /4-lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 2 
lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.25. 
Davis White Wax—Extra Early —This is also called 
the Davis White Kidney Wax. It is a well 
known variety. The pods are remarkably long, 
about six inches, sometimes longer. They are 
handsome, light yellow, crisp and tender. 55 
days. Pkt., 5c; %-lb., 20c; 1 lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 
5 lbs., $1.25. 
Black Wax—Pencil Pod 
Black Wax— Pencil Pod —-Of dwarf, bushy growth, 
about fifteen inches high, with great clusters of 
beautiful straight yellow pods six to seven 
inches long, well rounded, deeply “saddle backed,” 
meaty, and they are brittle, of rich, mild flavor, 
and entirely stringless. An early sure cropper; 
of the finest quality. 65 days. Pkt., 5c; V 2 - lb., 
20c; 1 lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.25. 
Brittle Stringless Wax—“A very popular Bean”— 
Without a doubt the earliest of all Wax Beans, 
also a great cropper, very hardy and extremely 
prolific; the pods are round, fleshy and entirely 
stringless, often measuring 4% to 6 inches long. 
They are of fine flavor, solid and tender. Pkt., 
5c; % - lb., 20c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.25. 
BEANS—BUSH LIMA 
(One pound will plant 50 feet of row 
Lima Beans are very susceptible to cold and the 
seed must not be planted until the ground has be¬ 
come thoroughly warm. The end of May is usually 
safe. Plant the seed edgewise eye down) 6 
inches apart in the row and cover two inches deep 
with fine soil. They should be sown on well en¬ 
riched ground. 
Henderson’s Bush Lima —This variety belongs to 
the small Limas, known as Carolina or Sieva 
Lima Beans. On account of their hardiness they 
are worth growing in the North, where they 
will mature early and produce an enormous crop. 
A week earlier than Burpee’s Bush Lima and 
the flavor is delicious and sweet; bear tremen¬ 
dously, each pod being filled with flat light 
green Beans. When mature, the Beans are prac¬ 
tically white and keep well for Winter shell 
Beans. Pkt., 5c; %-lb., 25c; 1 lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c; 
5 lbs., $1.40. 
Burpee’s Bush Lima —Are early and of stout 
growth and always erect, yet branching so vigor¬ 
ously that each plant develops into a rounded 
bush from 2 to 3 feet in diameter and from 18 
to 24 inches tall. Pods are uniform in size with 
an average of f*v e large Beans to a pod. They 
are thin-skinned and of fine flavor. They are 
immense yielders. The pods are borne in clus¬ 
ters and are easily gathered. Pkt., 5c; %-lb., 
20c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 65c; 5 lbs., $1.40. 
English or Broad Windsor — This Bean is very 
hardy. Plant as soon as the soil is in good con¬ 
dition. Plant four inches apart and 2 inches 
deep in drills three feet apart, to insure well 
filled pods; pinch off the tops as soon as pods 
begin to set. 65 days. Pkt., 5c; %-lb., 25c; lb., 
45c; 2 lbs., 80c.
