Beans for the home-garden and market. The thrifty plants bear 
abundant light green pods nearly 7 inches long and % inch wide. 
They bear about 56 days from planting. It is the best yielder we

handsome, perfectly round pods 534 inches long, and perfectly 
stringless. It is a very dependable variety under all conditions of 
soil and climate, and its tender, brittle, stringless quality has made 
it a great favorite in home-gardens. 
Dwarf Horticultural. One of the favorite Bush Beans for the New 
England States. Its long, broad, green pods are handsomely splashed 
with carmine. It is well liked as a Shell Bean and is useful for Snaps 
while young. 
French’s Horticultural. A w'ell-Iiked variety of compact habit with a 
tendency to throw short runners. Much like Dwarf Horticultural 
but a better yielder.

slightly later, maturing in about 60 days. The perfectly round pods 
are very long and remain tender and delicious until quite old.

very good Snap while young. It is a good yielder and stands up well 
when picked. Because of its high keeping qualities it is largely used
