Dwarf or Bush Varieties 
A “packet” of bush beans will plant 20 feet of row; a pound 150 feet. Sow 60 to 75 lbs. per acre. 
1 lb. is equal to a pint, 2 lbs. 1 ql., 15 lbs. a peck. 
Grow plenty of beans. Beans are of the 
easiest culture and take comparatively little 
room. There is no more valuable crop for the 
home garden than “snap” or “string” beans. 
Successive sowing made every few weeks will 
give you plenty of fine beans right up until frost. 
Plant in rows 2 to 2% feet apart, dropping the 
seed 2 inches apart, or in groups of 3 to 4 at inter¬ 
vals of a foot in the row which makes hoeing 
easier. Do not plant until the ground is warm. 
In New York State and New England May 10th 
to 20th is early enough. 
From the innumerable varieties of garden 
beans, we have selected those listed below as the 
kinds which will be the most satisfactory to our 
customers. Our stocks of these varieties are 
carefully selected for purity and trueness to type. 
Dwarf Wax or Butter Beans 
SURE CROP WAX. The Best Flat-Podded Wax. An improved Currie’s Rust-Proof which has 
longer pods of better quality, and yields more than that variety. The pods are long, deep yellow, 
stringless, of fine quality, and usually are free from rust. This is a very desirable market variety 
and is so superior to the old Currie’s Rust-Proof that we have discontinued that kind.

15 Lbs. $2.70; 60 Lbs. (Bu.) $9.00. 
PENCIL POD BLACK WAX. The Best Round Podded Wax Bean. We consider this the best 
round pod wax bean both for home use and market. The pods are 6 to 7 inches long, straight and 
as round as a pencil. The pods are clear yellow, very brittle, stringless and of the finest quality. 
Matures early and the plant is vigorous and productive. The seed is black.

WEBBER WAX also called “Cracker Jack” or “Wonder Wax.” The Earliest Wax Bean.

the most profitable market varieties on account of its earliness.
