planting. The latest development in rust resistant asparagus orig¬ 
inated by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. It is larger than 
the original Washington, with very tight tips of finest quality. 
Stalks are deep green with purple tops. These roots are grown on 
our own farms from selected seed. Our soil is especially adapted to 
growing asparagus roots as it is light enough to produce good roots 
and still fertile enough to make a vigorous growth. All of our as¬ 
paragus roots are freshly dug which insures them starting quickly 
after planting. One year No. 1 Roots: Doz. $.35; 50 roots $.90; 
100 roots $1.50 postpaid. 1,000 roots (70 lbs.) $6.00. Not prepaid.

Green Varieties 
Yellow Varieties 
_i_TD _ i . 49 days, 65 seeds per oz. The most popular 
A -DOUIlllIUl • green podded snap bean for those markets 
that demand a flat podded variety. It is early and ships well. The 
long, flat, light green pod grows from 6 A to 7 inches in length. 
The pod is rather thin walled and not of the best quality. We do 
not recommend Bountiful for home use or canning. Our fields of 
Bountiful were inspected and rogued by a representative from the 
X. Y. State College of Agriculture and found to be very free from 
disease. Pkt. $.10; kz lb. $.18; lb. $.30; 15 lbs. $2.50; 100 lbs. 
$15.00. 
k orffrPPtl * 54 da y s - 65 seeds per oz. We have 
-I- C1IU.C1 gl CC11 . never found a snap bean that equals 
Tendergreen for quality. It yields well and in some tests has done 
better than Giant Green Pod. The pods are 6 to 7 inches long, 
smooth, round as a pencil, entirely stringless, light green color and 
very meaty. A good canning variety. Pkt. $.10; A lb. $.18; 1 lb. 
$.30; 15 lbs. $2.80; 100 lbs. $15.20. 
Giant Stringless Green Pod: ““Sf’gSrS 
the most popular round podded snap beans but not as good as 
Tendergreen. The pods are 6 to 6 Yi inches long, medium green 
and stringless. It is used to some extent for canning but, as the pod 
of this variety is depressed between beans and of only medium 
thickness, we feel that Tendergreen makes a better appearance. 
Pkt. $.10; A lb. $.18; lb. $.30; 15 lbs. $2.50; 100 lbs. $13.30. 
Stringless Black Valentine: i' |S, d 5 
snap bean that has become very popular for market in some sec¬ 
tions. While it should be classified as a flat podded variety, it is so 
thick that both flat and round podded markets will take it. Pods 
614 to 7 inches long, nearly straight, dark green and stringless. Pkt. 
$.10; A lb. $.18; lb. $.30; 15 lbs. $2.70; 100 lbs. $14.25. 
C'rr m WTcrv • 53 days, 65 seeds per oz. This variety 
c '-’I' ” • is inferior in quality to Burpee’s Kid¬ 
ney Wax and is only included in our variety list because of its 
popularity as a shipping bean. It is a very vigorous growing, pro¬ 
ductive, flat, yellow bean, 6 to 7 inches long. Pkt. $.10; A lb. $.18; 
lb. $.30; 15 lbs. $2.70; 100 lbs. $14.25. 
Round Pod Kidney Wax: wS78 
seeds per oz. An excellent stringless variety for canning and home 
use. Pods 5 to 6 inches long, medium yellow, round, slightly curved, 
very brittle and stringless. Pkt. $.10; A lb- $.18; lb. $.30; 15 lbs. 
$2.70; 100 lbs. $15.20. 
★Pencil Pod Black Wax: o^TvS^opJiar 
round podded variety for the home garden that has been improved 
a great deal in the past few years. Pods large, 6'-2 to 7 inches long, 
nearly straight, stringless, free from fiber, fleshy and brittle. Pkt. 
$.10; A lb. $.18; lb. $.30; 15 lbs. $2.70; 100 lbs. $14.25. 
Unrivaled Wax: 
52 days, 145 seeds per oz. An ex¬ 
ceptionally attractive yellow podded 
bean for home and market garden use. Pods deep yellow, narrow, 
thick-flat, brittle, stringless when young. Plant reasonably vigor¬ 
ous and very productive. Thought by some to be somewhat coarse 
in texture. Pkt. $.10; A lb. $.18; lb. $.30; 15 lbs. $2.85; 100 lbs. 
$15.20. 
We believe that Tendergreen has the best quality of any
