Beans are Profitable in the Home- and Market-Garden 
Yellow or Wax Podded Bush Beans 
Pencil Pod Black Wax. One of the best for the home 
garden. The pencil-like pods, 6 to 7 inches in length, 
are well rounded and of a beautiful yellow color. 
The meat is brittle, stringless, and of excellent flavor. 
Dry beans oval and black. 
Wardwell’s Kidney Wax. A medium early variety ma¬ 
turing a little later than Improved Golden Wax. It 
is very productive of long, straight, flat, yellow pods 
that are stringless and brittle. Its many good quali¬ 
ties have made it a favorite everywhere. Dry beans 
long, white, with purple mottlings. 
Unrivalled Wax. An early 70-day variety, very produc¬ 
tive. Plants large and vigorous and not susceptible to 
disease. Pods, semi-round, 7 inches long, narrow and 
brittle. Dried seed, small, kidney-shaped, quite simi¬ 
lar to Bountiful in color. 
Green Podded Bush Beans 
One pound will plant about 100 feet of drill. 
Black Valentine. An extremely profitable sort for the 
market grower because of its immense crops of very 
long, handsome, nearly round, dark green pods. A 
very hardy and early variety that has been largely 
planted. Dry beans are oval and black. 
Stringless Black Valentine. Resembles Black Valentine 
in foliage, growth, and habits, and is just as early, but 
the pods are absolutely stringless. Blossoms are purple. 
Bountiful. An equally good Bean for the market or 
home garden. It bears continuously and profusely 
for several weeks and is generally conceded to be one 
of the best flat, green-podded Bush Beans. The pods 
are large, solid, and stringless, retaining their tender¬ 
ness even when past maturity. The earliest of the 
Bush Beans and also the most popular. Dry beans 
are long, dark tan color. 
Burpee’s Stringless. This old variety is steadily grow¬ 
ing in popularity, and deservedly so, for it combines 
hardiness, extreme earliness, and great productive¬ 
ness. The rich green pods are almost round, meaty, 
absolutely stringless even when mature. It is tender 
and of delicious flavor, and should have a place in 
every garden. Dry beans oval, dark brown, with 
white eye. 
Dwarf Horticultural. A late variety that is very pro¬ 
ductive of broad, flat, stringless pods. One of the 
best sorts for use as a shell Bean. The dry beans 
are large, oval, nearly covered with splashes of bright 
red. The pods are green when young but when 
mature are yellow splashed with red. 
Giant Stringless Green Pod. Truly a giant, for its 
pods average 6 inches and over in length. It is one 
of the best first earlies and produces an abundance 
of its round, stringless pods, which are good at all 
stages of growth. The plants stand dry weather ex¬ 
ceptionally well. Dry beans rather long, light brown 
in color. 
Bountiful Beans. 
Burpee’s Stringless. 
Stringless Red Valentine. Has all the general character¬ 
istics of the parent Red Valentine, being just as early 
and as good in flavor, but the pods are completely 
stringless, a decided improvement. 
Refugee or 1000-to-l. A little later than most green- 
podded sorts, but very prolific. It is fine for late 
fall planting, for use in pickling. The pods are 
nearly round, pale green, about 7 inches long, very 
fleshy and brittle, with slight strings but exquisite 
flavor. Dry beans long, brownish gray, with light 
specks sometimes of a purple shade. 
Stringless Refugee. A stringless strain of Late Refugee 
or 1000 to 1. Quite similar in all other respects to 
Refugee. Ready to pick in 70 days. 
Full Measure. Matures in about 62 days. Grows 14 
to 16 inches high, with foliage slightly larger than 
Stringless Green Pod, more of a yellowish green. 
Pods average 6 inches long, more curved than String¬ 
less Green Pod, absolutely stringless, possibly more 
green in color, but not so large in circumference. 
Decidedly the best round-podded stringless Bean in 
existence. Pods contain 7 to 7 mahogany colored 
beans. 
Improved Red Valentine. An extra early variety that 
usually matures in 72 days after planting; also 
fine for midsummer sowing, to ripen in September. 
The vigorous bushes bear an abundance of medium 
length green pods which are very fleshy, crisp and 
tender. Dry beans are of medium size, long, pink, 
marbled red. 
Long Yellow Six Weeks. The large, vigorous plants 
are very productive of long, green pods which are 
straight and flat and of fine quality. The dried beans 
are long, kidney-shaped and dark yellow. 
Tendergreen or New Stringless. The large 17-inch, 
dark foliaged vines produce an abundance of meaty, 
stringless pods, which are round, almost straight, 
about 6 inches long and contain 7 or 6 beans. The 
plants are vigorous and hardy. The dried seed are 
purple in color, mottled with buff. Edible in 74 days. 
Tennessee Green Pod. The largest, longest and broad¬ 
est of the green-podded Bush Beans on the market. 
It is an excellent variety with thick meaty pods of 
fine flavor. Dry beans of flat, irregular shape, dark 
brown color.
